I heard ticking noise from engine the day before this happened..
Have you seen something like this before? :shock:

Was that bad tune or what?

I was boosting 0.5bar on stock D16Z6

 

these pics made me cringe

 

pretty bad

I've spent a lot of money on this car.. I think it's time to switch to Vitaras and Eagles

 

y0 that's crazy

 

Whats sad is the intake just moves the [stock block] limited power band around, same with the big turbo, same for the cam gears.

Ever wonder why you see the factory turbo guys winding the **** out of their stock turbos, upgrading the turbo last? They have forged internals to prevent this. If you have frivilous items as I see above on an old, tired sohc, then you've put money in the wrong places.

Anyways, good luck on the rebuild. Just don't cut any corners. Sell the manifold, gear, and fuel rail if you have to. A half-assed setup with performance bolt-ons is still half-assed.

 

its a single cam... they are supposed to do that

 

do you have a dump tube??

 

time to slap on some forged internals

Haha... come to think of it, you do see a lot of blow sohc!

 

how much power was the motor making before that happened?

 

that is a tuning problem and the noise you heard was detonation. live and learn.

 

damn son dat sucks, good luck wit da rebuild, im in a similar situation.

 

listen to u guys, u have all the answers.

Come on now...you could tell thats a tuning problem from pictures!!! HA

No it couldnt have been a lack of oil which caused a spun bearing giving him that 'ticking' noise the day before...then he went out and beat on it anyways and threw the rod through the block...nah, couldnt have been that.

Nice job on the carnage, this is how you learn and make a better setup the next time around

well detonation is just a noise here and there (most of the time). a spun rod bearing is a constant noise that does not stop. who would keep driving the car for a day with a bad bad noise under the hood?? i didnt think anyone could be that dumb. so i thought it was probably detonation.

 

The ticking was most likely the start of rod problems. The rod finally just gave way. We can debate for days about how it happened but nobody can tell from pictures. Remember, it was a d series. Pick up another for a couple hundred bucks...possibly build it. Dont let any of the negative posts get to you. Im sure you learned somthing and your next setup will be better. Your out a few hundred bucks and some time.

 

its a dseries...

for the price of a cup of coffee you can pick up another one..
if it wasnt built, who cares!

 

Been there... done that (twice!) My particular problem happened to be an internal WG that worked most of the time, but not always Oh well, luckily you can get another D series for little to no money.

 

That sucks man, sorry for your loss. Looks like its time for some forged internals and a good tune to match. Good Luck.

 

It was a stock D series who cars scour a dumpster for another one What was the setup and boost level when this happened?

You are right man!
My block had 150k+ miles on it and was build with cheap turkish parts I know that from previous owner..

I don't know how much power I was making because I only street tuned it and then I beated it for 3 weeks..
The day before boom I heard that ticking noise and YES it was spun bearing..

My boys H23a motor did the same thing. I told him to check his oil but he didnt we were driving down the highway when we heard the rod go through his block.
