just been drivin my ek9 with k20 swap and jrsc,booted it through the gears,7-7500 rpm in 5th then really nasty "burb" sound,lots of grey/white smoke outta exhaust,loss of power,engine stopped and a shed loada oil spurted outta crank case breather!!! :(
any ideas whats happened?this happened to any one?what may have coursed it?
any help will be awesome thanks matt
 
I think she may have gone bang!

Maybe oil starvation?

Overheated?
 
Superchargers generate a lot of heat. What rad you running? Maybe you've fryed your head gasket??

Best of luck, sounds expensive whatever has happened
 
i am putting my money on head gasket mate unfortunately :(

as said depends if u have upgrade everything when doing the swap and adding the jrsc as if u havent this will have caused a lot of problems
 
To be fair a JRSC K20 is normally pretty reliable. Just sounds unlucky whats happened to you.
 
was at cpl last week for a full day,did 75+ runs and everything was spot on,no problems at all,since then its only done 200-250 miles,was a bit coughy/spluttery on half throttle but i put that down havin to put normal fuel in apposed to 99 oct.am running uprated rad with front mounted fan,won't have thought i was over heating was only out for half hour drive and 90% was just cruisin.
 
Well it sounds like you will have to whip the head off, as it sounds like you have either piston or ring damage.
Can almost be 99% on it being one or the other.
