Blew the motor(bottom end issue) 100grand plus so not surprising the rings where gone anyway.  So basically if anybody wants a complete supercharger kit for their car PM me and I can make it happen.

Ok tore off the intakes with some help and found the culprit.  Can anyone say exploded lifter?  The pushrod blew all the internalls out of the center of the lifter.  but the rings are bad to so no repair for this car.  Got the supercharger kit ready to go with all the parts and can now be purchased/bolted on for the low low (firm) price of only 800 bucks.

With the money i have put into my beretta I could of paid my 02 ta off but i love my beretta and wouldn't give it up. I look at like this. The engine broke becuase the car wanted more power so i give it more power

no i look at it this way car broke because it decided it wasn't good enough for me and killed itself hoping i would lay it to rest and buy an f-body lmao.  The solution was to buy an 88 firebird and stuff a built blown S/B Chevy in it.

ok time for an update i guess, nothing happened other me losing my license (interesting story there thanks to the firebird) and my masterpiece of a high school machine sop project has collected a little more dust in my basement, at least it got me my job as a machinist though, now I'm thinking about picking up another fixer upper of an '88 mazda rx-7 turbo II Jdm thats in my neighborhood. If anybody can prove that they'll put the thing to good use they can have my setup(you'll have to drive out here to get it as i'm far to busy)

yeah but i decided to hang it on my wall of crazy stuff next to my little thermometer of money for the new motor for my 300zx that is currently at 100 dollars because i'm poor.  Shooting for 20 grand and rolls-rice will be on the road.  Guess what kind of motor it is.  and if any of you philanthropists out there rolling high dollar beretta's know of a way to get 20 grand fast legally and without another monthly payment i'm all ears.

WOW it's been forever since I've been on here update: supercharger went to a local friend who installed it then took measurements, took it off, and is having hood made. Saved up my pennies and instead of buying a jet engine for the 300zx I became the first guy in my state to buy a new NISSAN 370z 6MT SPORT in Platinum Graphite. Working full time as a CNC Machinist/Programmer running a fourth axis.
