It's a brand spankin' new wastegate from me, so definitely not that. Turbo is also in great shape. I'd check the couplers, even perhaps the injector seals/intake mani wityh some soapy water just in case, can't hurt and it's good practice to know how to do it.
Although I didn't see mention of a boost controller of any kind. He could simply be running off stock wastegate capabilities (10-13 psi) and spiking at higher rpm. Seeing as Stephan put everything together, I doubt there's a boost leak.

Yeah man. It's just boost creep . Like I told you, best solution is to just crank the boost .

A couple things come to mind here: cold weather, small injectors, boost creep, and too lean can easily lead to a spun rod bearing. It can happen this time of the year especially if you tuned it in 20+ degree weather.

Rainbow assembled the bottom end, along with a used head, which I bolted the two together.

And Jeremy thanks for the tip i will definitely do that was also planning to drain oil thru a strainer unfortunately i am going to have to run her again and get her to operation temp to get Paul the video he wants to see seriously praying i dont do any more damage When one of my rod bearings disintegrated, I drained the oil into a freshly cleaned tray, and there were no visible metal flakes or filings. I then cut open the filter, and all of the filter paper was speckled with shiny metal. I've heard others have found the same: draining the oil may not show you that there's a problem. If you have an extra oil filter kicking around, I would pull the old one off and cut it open before making the video for Paul. If it's full of metal, he's not going to need a video from you to know that there's bottom end damage. Unfortunately, while the knocking suggests bottom end damage, the fact that you're burning coolant (and may have been for a while), and burning oil, suggests an issue with the head gasket.

I'm not so sure it was burning coolant, because he came over by Deep's shop once, and to both of us it just seemed to be condensation, no smell or anything.

I'll be opening up a shop in a few months with a dyno and several hoists. If you can wait till spring, I will build it and tune it for you. I will be getting back into the game full time building race transmissions and engines for various imports and will be offering dyno/tuning services I will be the first in Canada to be building full race transmissions for DSM's, Evo X, Supra V160/R154, and Honda K series. Stay tuned.

Although I will say it's the name of the game when you mod. Hence why it's important to have deep pockets for these type of situations. I hope rainbow is able to help you out on this one m

Although I will say it's the name of the game when you mod. Hence why it's important to have deep pockets for these type of situations. Just saw this now and I am sure there are a few people that would disagree with this statement, myself included. The only time deep pockets has helped me is when I was fixing issues caused by previous owners. It's statements like these that give DSMs a bad name.

Lol WTF do you mean? Manny isn't the first owner of this car which is why my statement makes sense.. Although that wasn't my point. It's common sense. You mod. You pay. Performance mods =breaking sh!t. Hence you pay. You're over thinking it

Yeah but most past owner stuff is ironed out in the first 6 months.
After I ironed out all my issues I have successfully modded without breaking sh!t.
Maybe I am overthinking things, but I also don't think generalizations like these are warranted.

After I ironed out all my issues... Doesn't your car still have those rust holes and in need of paint? Also it has the boost leak and isn't really putting down power right from what I recall. Not meaning to be rude or anything, but just that from what I remember it needs more time and money before all the issues are ironed out and it's running perfectly. I think Mike means both breaking parts from beating on it as well as the higher level of tlc required with performance/modded cars in general.
