    It's a different kind of noise, pitch goes up and down. Kinda like there is lowfuel in tank, but I have over half tank. It's never made this noise before.

    There is a guy I follow that has turbo 3rz with 650whp e85 desert truck. I think he's only blown it up a few times and that is pushing a truck in the desert for a hard 400 miles.

    "Only a couple times" oh goody! With how much I'm investing in this engine... I don't want to ever blow it up. I can't run E85 either, 93 is the best I can do unless I start ordering drums of fuel from VP...

    Yeah I've looked into it. If I ever want to run at the local track though, they don't allow it. Same with if I ever take it autocrossing for grins and giggles.

    desert racing is pretty rough. Those guys are rebuilding engines pretty often. He never sent a rod. think it was mostly just blowing out the head gasket.

    Called the dealership I'll be having do my frame replacement yesterday. Asked them if it would be a problem if the truck had a turbo and other engine mods. They said "yeah that could be an issue... extra charge for labor involved in removal, possible broken items we may or may not cover..." yeah, I'll just wait until after the frame replacement to drop the turbo and built engine in.

    12 years from the date put in service. Mine was late August of 08 so this is my last chance.

    I was dancing a jig and singing for joy when I found the rust hole this year.

    He's in the Houston area. Corpus Christi or Galveston would be a lot closer.
