How much power was it making? What kind of turbo? Was there any damage to the turbo?

 

I would not have ran eagle anything in that motor, but that's just me.

Little looser on them clearances next time will do the trick.

Where you running an HLA regulator?

 

Man that is awesome. Thanks for posting pics.

 

It made 741whp on a twin scroll 4088r. The turbo is fine I'm changing it to a twin scroll pte 6466. The 4088r was maxed out so I'm going to see what this 6466 is all about

 

Are you running a MAF? I so, you might run rich with your crankcase vents not plumbed back into your intake.

 

I'm on aem with sd

 

I guess I didn't project my sarcasm well, haha. In any case, sorry to hear, hope the recovery goes well!

 

Damn time to bring it back bigger and badder GL with the rebuild

 

All the new parts are here for the new block.Im going with wiesco 1400hd pistons 10.5 comp with manley tt rods and going to keep it 2.0lt this time.

 

Congrats your in 1st place for carnage of the year award! lol......


Was this the 1st time you ran the car at/close to that speed @ that boost pressure? Or was this the 1st time since the build the car was pushed this hard? If you pushed the car close to this hard on a regular basis loosely speaking it actually held up pretty well all things considered. Good luck with the rebuild tho

 

it lasted about 2k miles of a hard life.

 

Damn, that's an expensive 2,000 miles

Staying with a 2.2 for the next build? And, wheres the video???

 

Maybe Eagle Rods and Chinese metallurgy isn't all that bad then. Hell, If I can get 2000 pure track miles out of my build I would be happy. But then I consider myself to be a little harder on the car than most.

 

Spoken like a true boss! Where is this landing strip at and do you have any video of said 170mph carnage?

 

Looks like the oil pump went bad from lack of oil at the pick up, causing the spun bearing, which then heated up the rod and broke it.
