How to blow your bottom end and do it properly

[TBOWGN]

Well after a year of driving my RVR on mostly 18psi with standard computer this is what happens....

Went bang on detonation on the highway at 110k's

Notice some part poking its head out above my little finger

The explosion didnt miss my transfer case either... Done properly!

 

[MDK87]

Bloody hell you did a good job of that haha

 

[Benzo4gT]

Whoa! Supposed to keep the moving bits on the inside dude.

 

[DOUGMO]

lol, that's nothing

 

[TBOWGN]

Haha, there's more!

 

[DOUGMO]

getting there

 

[TBOWGN]

So based on that excitement, ive been forced to forge my next one up properly ....What a shame

Surely you could hear that pinging. Probably for weeks.
Detonation will still break forged bits

 

[evo-gsr]

Obviously not...

 

[TBOWGN]

I dont know man?? It just went bang... Probably will never know the full cause? Maybe it was because of high boost, maybe not? Anyway, ill build it so it shouldnt happen again

 

[4piknup]

Rattle rattle bang stop.
That is all she said

Get your injectors flow tested before you put them on the next engine too

 

[TBOWGN]

Getting some new 1300cc's for E85

 

[White Knight]

Dude, you poor bastard. Still, you did a good job of it. Gauges and lots of them my friend!!! Best of luck with new forged one.

 

[4piknup]

What ecu is on it? What injectors?
What is the method of boost control?
Get it retuned with the new engine and get a wideband. I suggest the innovate mtx-l.

 

[TBOWGN]

Cheers Jack.... Still working it all out mate... Keep ya posted

Possible that the tune was ok... but a stock rod bolt let go maybe. That's common for these 7 bolters...

 

[vr401]

Was that with new eprom or just stock ecu with 18psi?

Possible that the tune was ok... but a stock rod bolt let go maybe. That's common for these 7 bolters...

With 18psi on a good tune?

 

[TBOWGN]

Stock ecu, no idea on the tune as i was done by the previous owner a year and a half ago now
