LOL every car that I have ever boosted I have blown up at some point. Last night well this morning I was coming home from the Airport in Buffalo crossed the boarder and found an empty HWY. Couldn't resist seeing just how fast the car would go. 120 - 130 still pulling hard 140 - 145 - 150 BANG. Motor dies smoke starts filling the inside of the car I pull off to the side of HWY knowing exactly what happened.
I called the flat bed and had the car delivered to my shop LOL when I got back this morning the side and roof of the car was covered in oil. I jacked up the car and there is a big hole in the back of the block and a crack that runs all the way from the head down to the oil pan. I almost split the entire motor in half! LOL
I just had a 7" lower pully installed with a retune and I guess I found the limit of the stock rods 257HP was pretty close anyway. My high speed run was obviously just too much.
Now the question do I build a new motor or do I just install a stock long block? If I do build a new motor Iâm going to swap my alpine blower for a Ripp Vortec blower that kit + a built motor will take me to over 350HP. But itâs 12G rather than just 3 for another motor. Considering that I paid just $14K for the car spending 12K on a motor well thatâs a bit silly but I would have a genuine 150MPH+ 12sec daily driver. Hmmmm
I may just for fun take it back to Hyundai and ask if they will warranty it. LOL :lol:

I have a few cars.
One for my dog.
One that has no roof.
One that looks good parked at the golf course.
One that is being rebuilt by a guy named Nero..... will it ever be done?
