I went back out to ACS only to find more trouble.



First session after warm up lap, my intercooler hose blew. No big deal, just clamp it down tighter and go out on the next session.

Session 2: as I finish my lap 1, car started to lose power. I look at the temp gauge and it was pegged hot. I try to pull over to a safe area but car eventully died and never started back up.

Looking back, I think my timing was set wrong (on retard) which caused my engine to run hot. Once it got hot and built pressure, one of my radiator hose clamp was not fully tight as all of the coolant leaked out.
I verified this by pressurizing coolant system.
compression on cylinders are 90-90-90-20. probably seized the piston as well.

It's all my fault. having a warning gauge would have been nice in retrospect.

I'm gonna try to figure out where to go from here. maybe another SR or VQ.

Definitely planning on keeping the engine stock as possible.
