hacman · June 8th, 2009, 11:09 PM

Ouch sorry to hear that, I do not think there are any forged ones out.

Im curious though, what did you mean you pass boost, and who dyno tuned your car for you??

peace

unefonmx · June 8th, 2009, 11:14 PM

mmm sorry my English is not very good; what I meant is i exceeded RPM and i broke piston

ussoldier0227 · June 8th, 2009, 11:16 PM

Conact itmans3 and ask him. I think he found some Ross pistons for the GT.

I searched a little for ya and thats what I came up with...It's a long shot but better than nothing! Hope this helps ya.

*Also Brian Crower was working on a piston/rod application for the GT...Don't know of any updates as of yet.

unefonmx · June 8th, 2009, 11:17 PM

or you do not know where I can get the piston Oem, because here in mexico not in existence
I have 20 days waiting

jackvuu · June 8th, 2009, 11:20 PM

Where did you get your eclipsE? If it's from a mistu dealer, contact them for parts.

unefonmx · June 8th, 2009, 11:24 PM

Sometimes finding a place to ship to mexico is a problem. Have you tried in the parts section I believe it is there should be a link to the eclipse resource site that had all oem parts(if I knew the link off hand I would have posted it, sorry).

Other then that do as another suggested, and go to the dealership you bought it from...if it is a mistu dealer they should be able to have the parts rushed in from right over the border, and even if they are not they should be able to contact a dealer since they sold you it and then over night them or something.

If it is a mistubishi dealership then they should know the part number and can order it from mistubishi itself and have it shipped to mexico.

Cedric · June 9th, 2009, 12:48 AM

I would contact any mitsubishi dealer ship in the states, they should be able to help you out. You could also check here Car-part.com

TwilsonD7 · June 9th, 2009, 07:00 AM

how did you go past rpm!? Higher then 6500?

horse-eater · June 9th, 2009, 09:04 AM

what PSI boost were you running?

xxQuickxx · June 9th, 2009, 09:24 AM

Anything else happen?? other than the pistons?

TwilsonD7 · June 9th, 2009, 09:25 AM

He can only run what the pulley allows unless he has something custom.

horse-eater · June 9th, 2009, 09:43 AM

i just want to know a number.

unefonmx · June 9th, 2009, 11:01 AM

i buy the supercharger in e bay a person who sold it to me in puerto rico, the shipment arrived just the supercharger and lost computers and other things,

my car only has supercharger without computers ,piping and valves if placed, the injectors are installed but not connected, only missing 2 computers (black box fuel and timing tuner and ripp brat box obd2 code translator) (missed)

are you think for this reason the engine has been damaged?

mmm mi vin is 4a3ak44t17e025574

for your help and answers thank you very much
regards paul

psy-q · June 9th, 2009, 11:03 AM

wow, wait... you installed the supercharger without the fuel management computers and secondary injector? Does your car have some other form of fuel management?

horse-eater · June 9th, 2009, 11:06 AM

Yes. That was a bad decision.

psy-q · June 9th, 2009, 11:54 AM

You don't need forged pistons. What has happened is pre-ignition caused by a lean fuel mix. By running with the supercharger and not installing the blackbox and brat you've caused the engine to run with less fuel then it needs and it basically melted.

My advise: STOP. Seek professional help immediately. It's likely you have done far more damage then you think.

psy-q · June 9th, 2009, 12:00 PM

Did the piston look something like this?:

TwilsonD7 · June 9th, 2009, 12:07 PM

damn you're fucked...if you that smart that you ran this with no managment then how do you know it was a blown piston? Could be 100 other things. I doubt he ripped the block apart.

hacman · June 9th, 2009, 12:15 PM

ouch!!!!! this is why people should not jump the gun and just install something cause they are anxious. Once again I am soooooo sorry to hear that this happen, but next time please think things through a lot better then you did this time

On a side note: to all the RIPP haters, do not go saying see there goes another RIPP fuckup or anything like that. This was an obvious user error, in which we can all cry over because I fear he is in for more engine work then he thinks.

peace

360jeepboy · June 9th, 2009, 12:37 PM

I don't care if you hate Ripp or not. If you can't see that he blew his motor because he was a dumb ass, then your a dumb ass.

I mean who thinks that they can run a boosted car with no extra fuel. Common sense tells you that.

DarkSidEclipse · June 9th, 2009, 03:36 PM

Wow yeah Boost and no EM = Very Bad Things if all you did was ruin a piston you should accept religion if you haven't already cause somebody loves you. However I fear that your whole motor is FUBAR

Get a Tow somewhere ASAP

psy-q · June 9th, 2009, 03:50 PM

Let's wait for him to confirm the issue before we condemn him. There is a language barrier here and we may have just misunderstood.

unefonmx · June 9th, 2009, 09:57 PM

Ok thank you very much for your comments
Today I bought my piston in atlanta, They are going to send me to mexico
and I contacted the people RIPP to buy the computers that I needed
please, can you help me, because here in mexico do not know much of the subject mitsu

please can you help me

I have installed these parts

supercharger ripp
blow off
2 injectors (without any connection)
filter K&N
Headers RRE
exhaust pipe magna flow

which is what I need? Apart from the computers

do you have some tutorial to give to my mechanic, for the installation of this supercharger (ripp)

mmm This is a picture when they were installing the supercharger

regards paul

unefonmx · June 9th, 2009, 10:08 PM

i forgot comment the engine is in good condition

only the piston and rings are broken

I think I was pretty lucky

I hope you can help me tuning my car; and do not ever go through this

regards

TwilsonD7 · June 9th, 2009, 10:09 PM

So how do you tiikk you blew it? What's your email I have the installation I can give you

DarkSidEclipse · June 9th, 2009, 10:09 PM

Contact RIPP for installation instructions. If thats all that happened you are very lucky

DarkSidEclipse · June 9th, 2009, 10:11 PM

You will need Lines for those fuel injectors

psy-q · June 9th, 2009, 10:21 PM

It looks like with the exception of the computers you have everything you need.

As Hondahunter78 said, you should contract RIPP directly for detailed install instructions.
RIPP Modifications one stop performance shop!

horse-eater · June 9th, 2009, 11:01 PM

hac, you used to hate on ripp more than anyone here.

this time it was pure user malfunction.

get that stuff fixed and do it right this time. let us know if you need any help, there is a wealth of knowlege here and we have probably had any problems you will run into.

unefonmx · June 17th, 2009, 09:58 AM

Hi thank you all for your help, the piston was bought in atlanta,and is nearing come to mexico

I think it is a good brand RIPP, The mistake was mine for using the supercharger that way

Regards to all and thank you very much for you help

TwilsonD7 · September 18th, 2009, 10:19 PM
