Blew the Engine =\

welp, i blew my engine.....i was going on the highway at 65 mph, n' tried to go faster but the car wouldn't go fast :(. So then i downshifted n' tried to go fast again....no luck, i looked out my rear view mirror n' saw a shit load of smoke come out of my exhaust....then the car just shut off n' i had to drive in neutral n' pull off to the side of the highway. Reason to why this happened? Didn't change the oil in time.....freaking car has only 3 working cylinders n' burns oil quickly. Yes i know...i'm stupid for not changing the oil. Now i have to save up like 1000 bucks for a new engine...i'm only 16 years old n' get like 155-200 bucks a week rofl. Oh, and i was driving my 90 CRX.

ouch, now was it driving on 3 cylinders for a few mins, days or weeks?

try like months lol. I got it like that, the guy told me i had to get one of the cylinders recompressed, and i heard it was like 400 bucks to do it so i said screw that, that money could go towards a new engine.

what model crx is it? *sniffs*............i smell.........z6 swap :bigthumb:

it's a 90 DX =\ hmm...should i get a z6 swap? I want Vtec in this CRX.

thats would be one of the cheaper and easier swaps to do.

word!, ive seen d16a6 crx's gutted pullin 15 flat all day, if you guted your ride and had a z6 with i/h/e you would be mid 14's easy, if you could drive

lol u been driving it on 3 cylinders for ages hehe, well i see ur point in not repairing it though ;)


good luck wiv the new engine

sux to hear man, but i hope you take better care of the new motor.

yea, i will take better care, but i'll be seeing a new motor in about....10-20 weeks =\

hahaha that really does suck mate :(

keep us p[osted on the new engine

I'm surprised you could go 65 with 3 cylinders :bloated:

lol that fastest i gone with it was only 75 :P

Actually, it's easy to go highway speed on 3 cylinders. It's just takes a long time to get up to that speed. And you're screwed if you try to go up a steep hill without some good momentum built up.
I drove a mazda 626 from California to NM on 3 cylinders. It even got great mileage!

lol yep, so true, i try to go up hills n' it takes FOREVER, i mean....everyone passes me :( even grandma does

Yah...I had a look at his crx. I know exactly what happened. It wasn't so much that it was low on oil and the oil was blacker than midnight...that obviously didn't help, but the fact that he was running on 3 cylinders for so long...that was the problem. What happened was running on three cylinders for like probably over a year who knows maybe longer...that made his crankshaft get very unbalanced then what happened is the crankshaft snapped right in half. His number 1 cylinder was dead and then his number 4 cylinder blew up. It has two holes in the block the size of dimes...one in the front and one in the back where the crank arm punctured through the block..lol doesn't look so happy. I'm just finishing my Z6 swap into my 89 lx so i told Ray (Masta) I would sell him my ol' D15B2 for 100 bucks or so for everything....and put it in for him. I know it's not the best motor but It's sad to see a CRX dead on the side of the street like that...almost makes me cry...:frown:

what are ways to get my car to be towed to bam's house? i dont' want to pay 73 bucks to get it towed -_-

the A to the A to the A its tripple A, sux if you dont have it, they tow free for 100 miles i think it is

ask your freinds ... someone is bound to have it ... or find a friend with a truck or something big that can tow shit and get one of those tow dollys from u-haul ... those are usually around $30

yea, one of my friend has Triple A, but how would that work with my car? i don't have triple a...and doesn't triple a only tow cars that have triple a only?
