So i was driving down i264 west and was on my way home, then all of a sudden smoke started coming into the car and coming out the engine. I pull over on the emergency lane and tried to find out what happened. I have a 89' 240sx with a red top sr20det swap. Turns out, i think one of my rod bearing went out because under the throttle body and next to the starter theres like a bullet hole that went from where the top straight through the bottom to so i could see the ground pretty much. I ended up getting it towed. anyone have any ideas on what i can do other than getting a new engine.

New swap

you already know what you need to do...

1Slow2Forty

not really. idk how this even happened. im running on stock boost. 7lbs thats it and was driving normally and all of a sudden smoke everywhere

nftuatn

sounds like it threw a rod thru the block...so it needs a long block at the minimum

nftuatn

either that or a sniper popped a cap in your motor..

yeah thats what this vdot guy was saying too. its a perfect shot from top to bottom. do you know any place i can get a long block?

did u hammer out ur oil pan and clean ur oil pick up out before u swapped it? if u pull ur pan off u'll probably find that ur oil pick up swallowed itself from oil starvation, u need a long block, i'd check the cam journals to make sure the head is ok

Yeah that's what a figured what happened. there was a little dent but i think thats what made the car give in. I talked to danny and gonna try and get a longblock and just swap it all out.
