I cracked the liner in cyl 3 now where do I go from here????
Also I live in the United Kingdom England so it would be hard to ship my block to the US.
What do you lot think.
I have not got a hp goal I'm just out to make what I can with the setup I got.
setup is
B16
CP pistons flat top
Cometic head gasket
Eagle H-beam rods
stock crank
stock bearings
rev-hard ex manifold
T3/TO4e
Turbo Smart 35mm gate
450cc injectors (soon to be 550cc rc's)
Hondata S200
Nitrous (hondata controled 25-50 shot)
2.5" downpipe and system (soon to be 3")

Thanks for your help.

nice you called us "lot".

See if you can buy this guys b16 block on here -JDMDC231

 

ouch...hows the pistons? you can probably find another b16 bare block for like less than 100 dollars and just use your pistons, rods and crank in the other block...or you could resleeve that block...hmm, looks like that was caused by the blockguard, so i hope u learned your lesson.

 

new pistons and you can press a new sleeve in

 

did the blockguard really cause that to happen?

 

I got to get one piston cos the others are fine but I didn't know blockguards could do that.

 

Do you have a better pix of the piston? There appears to be detonation damage on it, from the little bit of it we could see.

 

no no...block guard was installed. That means it did it..............what???? This makes no sense. I agree w/ BigMoose...may be detonation damage. Grab another block and do the block guard again, but have it sank lower and get better fuel/timing...should be good.

 

When you got your BG installed did you take it to the machine shop to check for straightness??

How many lbs were u boosting???

Some how it looks like the piston broke pretty bad, what was the cause of this meltdown??

There are so many Opinions on this so IMO if it's done right then No.

Honda blocks are poured around the stock liners - not a press fit item.

 

blockguard didnt cause this. most likely detonation.

 

If you look closely there was some serious detonation. The pistons are missing chunks out of it.

 

time for a new block and a new piston. cut your losses. and learn from your mistakes.

 

Here is a pic of the piston.

I was running 11psi of boost and 25 shot of gas when the top rad hose blow clean off.

Were you tuned for the spray?

Heads fine... even the plug looks good still.

there are people that can do it but it's just finding someone that can do it at the right price.
Would you pay £850 just for install!!! that not including the sleeves.

 

I don't think it was the block gaurd that caused this problem. Motor went lean and to much timing.

 

I've heard thing about hondata boost cut blowing motors cos it leans out the fuel, could it of been that?

 

Thanks for the pix. Clearly a very unhappy event going on in the combustion chamber when the boost met the juice... It looks like you are getting a handle on it, however.
