Nah, I hear you and get EXACTLY what your saying. I have blown.......4 motors so far within 2years of playing around with sr20xxx motors 2 before I even got to put on the freakin road!!! And ALL from my stupidity, not the car or someone else, my stupid rushing mistakes.
I guess if i learned anything from all this besides how to throw away ALOT of money, and this motor inside and out is the simple, but very hard to learn PATIENCE!!!!! So I am just happy to have 2 decent running cars at once.....KNOCK ON WOOD

My P10 needs tons of TLC, but again with some time and patience (there's that word again) she will end up a nice VERY quick DD. I am thinking I will tackle a motor build for her and put a nice sized snail on her

Anyway little problems like this don't worry me to much because I am use to pulling motors, fixing leaks I can't find, overheating, you name it I have experienced it. I guess it makes me more "knowledgeable"............I guess????

I think I just might make that video, although it will need to be edited heavily for vulgar language

Well I found the issue and it was thanks to you all!!!!

So lastnight I start to take a look at the car and check all wiring, looks good. Now before I go and take my whole interior all apart I said lets take a look at the actual part that does the work the solenoids!!! Well I started to disassemble the whole solenoid part of the motor and there really isn't a word to describe how nasty it was and how clogged the solenoids themselves were and not mention all the passage ways going in and out of the solenoid holder. I first removed both solenoids and WOW I was thinking there is no way this system can be working properly like this, so I tried some things to clean it and found that only good ole' gasoline would remove the $hit all over them. I was a little heasite at first, but said it's the only way to clean this stuff, so after about 2 good hours of cleaning all those passage ways and letting the solenoids themselves sit up to the screw part in gasoline. I put it back together and she stayed in VVL all the way til redline and it was beautiful!!!!

So again guys thanks again and my drag radials are ready and waiting, the air is getting cooler, and track times are coming after a quick retune. I am really thinking I can get a 13.6. Now I know that sounds low, but she really feels pretty damn close to my t25 powered b13 at about 9psi, but I don't want to get my hopes up till I finally run her. So we will find out soon............
