i had good oil, why in the hell did this happen? the only thing i can possibly think of is that maybe an oil shaving somehow got left in the oil pan after drilling the hole for the return line fitting. is there some other way that a bearing could spin?

You're overreving motors on stock bottom ends, probably, if this is your 9th motor.

there are lots of ways. Lack of oil, detonation, improper clearances to begin with...

You suck something awful.

find a new builder, and stop working on the motor yourself!!!

If your on your 9th motor i'm thinking your forgeting to put the oil back in.

Stop overevving the engine !!!

Thats hwat happen if it was built this would hav been your 8th and final engine i hope !!!

oxSLEEPERxo

maybe bad fuel management put boosting like crazy without fine tuning?

If youve blown 9consecutive motors and your only 17, it may be time to reconsider turbocharging a Honda for you...........

over-revving? i don't take it into vtec even. i definetly had full oil, and no oil leaks or smoke. there were different reasons for all the last engines blowing.

FIRST TURBO - TD05H
1st engine - broken ringlands after 650 miles (no management, 14psi)
2nd engine - return line broke off after 1600 miles, threw a rod (no management, 14psi)
3rd engine - knocked from beginning, spun a bearing after 17 miles (no management, 2 psi)
4th engine - blew turbo seal and bearings and lost all oil through exhaust and intake after 270 miles, threw a rod (too thick of oil = insane oil pressure)(no management, 14psi)
NEW TURBO - 2nd gen eclipse turbo
5th engine - leaky oil feed fitting, leaked all oil out after 2300 miles (no management, 12psi)
6th engine - drove without turbo for a while, let my sister borrow it for a week, ran it EXTREMELY low on oil, started knocking, then i rodded the **** out of it at 12psi and blew it to hell after 3100 miles. (no management, 12psi)
7th engine - rebuilt engine 3 with my friend travis while drunk and blew it after 1.5 miles (clearances must've been messed up something awful) (no turbo)
8th engine - car was too low and ripped the drainplug out of the oil pan on a sewer lid after 14 miles - (uberdata, 390ccs, 255lph walboro, basemap, 8psi)
NEW TURBO - Garrett AiResearch from some volvo - ended up being a piece of poo that boosted just over a pound? slow as hell. (uberdata, 390ccs, 255lph walboro, basemap, 1.2psi)
NEW TURBO - IHI RHB25 or something... off of a ford probe
9th engine - randomly spun a bearing after ~103 miles (uberdata, 390ccs, 255lph walboro, basemap, 5psi)

i have a new motor for it, going to check clearances before i install it. i'm pretty sure i can do this, i have just had really bad luck in the past.

[Note to self, don't get drunk and rebuild motors when 17yo.]

Question:

Where are you pouring the oil and where are you pouring the coolant?

Drew Peacock

At least your consistant

quick_DC5

You arent having the best of luck are you? Also, since the previous motors have nothing to do with this last one, why are you even telling us about them?

I think I would have a hard time blowing 9 motors in 17 years. Add time for birth, diapers, etc... and it becomes impossible.

apexrift

the reason i'm telling you about the last motors is because everyone's making me look retarded like "where do you put the coolant and where do you put the oil" HA HA HA thats awesome. i just need help understanding why THIS one blew.

dustin

Hmm well 9 motors is a trend. It's hard to believe that they all blew randomly, no?

So it might help to figure out why all of them blew. The oil cap is the one on the top of the valve cover BTW.

Quad-Damag

i hope your blowing up d series becuase u must be a rich **** to be blowing up b's like that

quick_DC5

What I mean is, your original topic "spun a bearing on 5 psi - 9th motor". Why are you telling us youre on your 9th motor. Youre making it seem like youve spun bearings 9 times before. What exactly are you doing? Is this the same block and crank being reused? Give us more details if you dont want to be criticized.

well. looks like this is where its at


one. all your cars had a shitty tune/basemap/ no basemap/no management


im sure its got detonation up the *** that prob caused your mtor to beat up your bearings


also sounds like you had a hardcore HMT setup. with rubber oil feed lines and clamps etcc.

damn is all i can say. id have given up after engine 2, saved and had it built professionally and tuned.
