Well, I am gonna try to post the pics tonight if ot soon. Well, I am sure people or maybe not have been wondering what happen to Bring it!!! Well bring it, brong a big problem with the car. Blew a few pistons nothing to worry about, just the fact that I am coming back at a min of lets just say a lot more hp. So this leads me to a question. Anyone have and turbo lude with a t66 or bigger turbo setup and f so what radiator are you using? Thanks

So what we have here is a big mess. This happened after a year of riding and not getting it retuned after the fuel pressure was tampered with after I broke the axle

Not sure how many people were at the track that day. Well, as you can see motor is going under a lot of surgery. Those are crower connecting rods that I am using in this set up an will continue to use then again(name brand). The number 1 cylinder has to get resleeved, the oil pump seezed up. The tool broke trying to get it out. the crank is still in good shape. all bearings had even wear, main bearings all survived this. On a rehone i may be getting up to 87.5 to 88mm bore. The head still has to be dismantled and looked at. If anything, it may just be valves need to be replaced. hoping. Well, I am tired so this may look like all off diff topics but ohwell, just something so you can say holy **** dude.
I want to give my girl Chitwnbrt a holla for being the best. She always lets me vent about my car.

Wow, those are some interesting images.
In answer to your radiator question, when I was running a T70 I was using a Griffin Halfsize (civic) radiator with no overheating problems. I'm assuming you think that your engine got too hot causing it to detonate. If that's your concern an oil cooler could help.

Dont be afraid to boost. My mistake was not retuning after the fuel pressure was messed with after the snap of the axle.

i dont know how much this would have prevented but was your engine even sleeved?
My motor is fully built. Only thing stock was my springs and cams, which are being replaced now with stage 2 turbo cams and dual sprigs

Just because you have name brand parts and spend thousands of dollars on them does not mean your engine is bullet proof.
**** happens when you do not have proprer fueling upgrades and poor ems tuning. This post should serve as a warning to you guys who cut corners instead of scaring you away from going turbo.

How did the fuel rail pressure change by swapping the axle? and why did u notice that after it went boom? not to be a dick but turbo cars have to be MAINTAINED, which includes checking pressures everynow and then. gauges are great for that. and why not use the same rods? was there any damage to them?

I never stated that in any of my post what so ever that my motor is now undestroyable. Also, I never said that spending thousands on a build would be anther way of saying bullet proof. I spent the money to get it dont right. **** happends just like it happens in nascar and nhra. THe axle broke after I warmed up the tires. I staged it was fine until i went to go into 2nd. Then, I notest that my car wasnt running porperly and it died out. I didnt want to mess anything else up so I left it alone until I got to my friends house and started looking to see why the car was not staying idle. The exhuast cam had advanced all the way possitive. Before we noticed that, we thought she was getting to much fuel, that is when we turned the fuel back to stock pressure and when that didnt fix the problem we looked more into it an seem the cam was off. I dont know how that accured but it did. My tuning was done right the first time just that I didnt get it retuned after the incident. My bust. I do have a decent ems system which is hondata, and I am using aem fuel rail, b&m fpr, msd 1000cc injectors. For the record, there was not one corner cut here.

I answered this ? in the reply above. Hope i answered that you understand. I do maintaine my cars, and I do all my checkes daily. I do have gauges in my car. About the rods, I am not changing them and if i posted that it was a typo because I am not changing my rods afer seeing what they hold. If I have to change any it will be the number 1 rod which seen heat.

Wait, you are asking me to bring it? If so, I could have brought it 5-6yrs ago when turbo's were rare on a honda.
Trust me, you really don't want anything to do with what I have now
Good luck on the new build. Try to fix your replies, you seem to post a bunch of stuff in your posts.
