Well anyway I was driving down the strip then along came a 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS well he looks at my and I of course say let's go. So where going down the road probably about around 40-50 mph I start to pull in front for about another mile I stay in the lead so I decide I've beaten him turn on my flasher wave and say see you later. Then I start heading back toward my house cause I forgot my money well this where it gets really good. So I'm driving down the road not think about anything when I hear a loud thud from my engine and then another then another until my car starts to sound like a helicopter coming down the road well guess what yha thats right my engine through a rod so now it's in the shop waiting for either my warranty to cover it or I'm going to half to find a new motor. So if I do have to drop a new engine myself what do you guys think I should drop in there.

I think you may need to be a little more precise with your tech info. As far as I know, the Chikara headers primaries do not bolt up to the Hahn turbo. Did you add the GReddy intercooler seperately? Not saying you're lying, or anything, just that you need to explain that a little bit...

Anyway, if you want my opinion, I think you should just rebuild the 4GA63 (or whatever the engine code is) that you have now, but with stronger internals to handle more boost. And this time have it tuned better, preferably on a dyno.
