HELP!!! TNT sprayed once and motor blew!!!! hey all. i really need some (actually a lot of help.) i installed macs and orp and tnt wet kit. i sprayed the 75 shot at 55mph at 3200 rpm and shut down at 5800. everything went good until i turned around and headed back home. car shut down and tons of white smoke came from the exhaust, smelled almost like fuel or something. everything was atapped and fine. i don't understand. when i tried to start the car up again, loud noises came from the passenger side of the car, almost like a rod was blown or something. i haven't taken it apart yet so i'm not sure. it's still under warranty and this was the FIRST AND ONLY time gas was sprayed on the car. how can i make it so that f*cking GM doesn't know i had spray on the car?!?!? does anybody have any suggestions??? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks. ray.
ps. i had every safety thing imaginable on the car so this wouldn't happen!!! WTF!!!!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

Re: HELP!!! TNT sprayed once and motor blew!!!! -improper wiring could have reversed the solonoids (armed them when you thought they were off)
-maybe the fuel solonoid was not wired up rigt, and it didnt come on?
did you a-tap? did you spray it while holding it in your hand (before you just went out and sprayed?) i always spray the fuel into a coke can while messin with my kit. good luck. let us know how the warranty thing goes. i have warranty also, so im pretty curious.
ps. change your oil, put in your stock nasty plugs, take as many mods off as you can.

Re: HELP!!! TNT sprayed once and motor blew!!!! Change the oil so if they test it they won't find the sulfur from the N20...and take a few mods mods off...hope u have a kewl dealer...good luck
Re: HELP!!! TNT sprayed once and motor blew!!!! Could also be that your fuel solenoid didn't activate at all, and you just dumped a bunch of nitrous into the car. Or vise versa...
If you have only sprayed it that one time, you won't have any problems getting it by the dealer. It takes a couple of bottles for nitrous to leave its tracks. However, I would COMPLETELY demod your car if you're going in with the wishes of a new motor...

Re: HELP!!! TNT sprayed once and motor blew!!!! hey guys, thanks for all your input. yea, i atapped the **** out of the car before i joosed it and tested the kit after wiring was done, outside of the car to know that all was good, and it worked. i took it to may friend's shop and we pulled the pan off and it was what i thought, damn rod snapped. i really don't think it's from nitrous though, prolly just a flaw from the factory and finally gave out. oh well, the rest is coming apart tomorrow so i'll know then. i figured on not even dealing with the dealerships because the one by my house is terrible, they don't wanna have to deal with anyone. well, i'll update again tomorrow night after i get done with this car. thanks again to everyone!

Re: HELP!!! TNT sprayed once and motor blew!!!! oh yea, fuel pressure safety switch and fuel pressure gauge were all installed before spray! fuel press stayed strong during spray, never dropped.

Re: HELP!!! TNT sprayed once and motor blew!!!! mine did the same thing it sounds. sprayed it and down the road white smoke poured from out the exhaust. turned out that i cracked 2 pistons after it blew the head gaskets. i was going to take it back to the dealer as it only has 16k miles on it, but i decided to just get a new shortblock and head/cam.
if you want to get it fixed at the dealer, make sure to take all the mods off that you can!

Re: HELP!!! TNT sprayed once and motor blew!!!! I don't know why GM put sh*t parts in these motors. I would have easily paid a few more dollars for that extra quality. Another thing thing that pisses me off is, the damn sun visors that like to fall in one's lap. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

Re: HELP!!! TNT sprayed once and motor blew!!!! hey all. quick update. went to the shop this morning and pulled off my airlid and the sh*t hit the fan. tons of motor oil poured from the intake, TB, lid, filter. wow!! it was great! i continued to pull rest of the motor apart and found a cracked piston, that would explain the white smoke from the tailpipes and oil spuing from intake! apparently, doesn't seem like an engine failure due to the spray, but rather poor quality from the factory. there is another rod that we found to have a hairline crack on it. well, i'm gonna order a forged rebuild kit and go from there. only bad thing is that i'm going to have to sell my nitrous kit and headers to help pay for this stuff. oh well. i thought for $34k you would be buying quality...i'm just extremely disappointed right now....no way this should have happened! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
anyway, thanks again to everyone for their input!

Re: HELP!!! TNT sprayed once and motor blew!!!! I hope my rods hold up to my 75 shot... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Even though my motor didn't like my 75 shot of fuel and my car is still down because of it.... <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

Re: HELP!!! TNT sprayed once and motor blew!!!! we're extremely positive that it wasn't from nitrous, especially since the kit is brand new, and sprayed perfectly before i put it on the car. besides that, it was the FIRST AND ONLY time i sprayed the car!!! oh, and this is medical grade nitrous from my mom's dental office....so no sulfer, no trace of nitrous used <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
