holy crap what happend there! sorry for the lose of a good engine man.

 

Good ole toothpick rods on the D. tuning is key!

 

how much horse are thoes rods rated at i didnt even have much done to that engine and only 99k miles on it i dont think i was that hard on it how often do these things go like this

 

ive done that to my domestic 350

 

i couldnt find the other half of the rod its completly gone probly on the highway somewhere

 

my old y7 did the same thing but no hole on the block, just shattered pieces everywhere in the oil pan area and rod split in half just like yours.

 

What did you have done to the engine?

 

Yeah, dude I have a 201k d15b7 (boosted at 6psi for 20k) and its been fine...

 

all i have done is a header hiflow cat catbackexhaust and an intake so pretty much stock i dont think it was the power that blew it more abuse then any thing else at the time when it blew i was just driving it perfectly normal then boom a big cloud of smoke but o well

SOMETHING other then driving "abuse" killed that engine. I've abused mine far more then you could have ever hoped to and never had an issue like that. Come to think of it, it hasn't given me any problems. My 110k miles old 93 EX coupe that I bolted a blower to never gave me any trouble either...

 

i am pretty hard on my cars infact real hard on the honda because i figure its a honda it cant break hondas last forever

 

the funny thing about this is i drove the car onto a trailer after she blew drove it off the trailer and into the garage thats a honda 4 you

 

Are you sure it was well oiled?

 

i was wondering ...does a low oil can cause it to be like that?

 

dude i did the same thing, my hole looks almost just like that. sorry to hear about it, i put in a b16

Yes low oil can cause this. The rod bearings won't be lubricated, they will bind and the crank will still be spinning causing the rod to snap and shoot through the block.

 

yeouch!

 

yes i had just changed the oil about a week before this happend

 

i have another vx motor iif u need one

 

is that just a d15b7 or is something different about it

 

i think there the same

 

damn man sorry about you break! where where you runnin at the time it blew? track? good luck with your next motor !
