I just finished my car and the motor only had about 1500 miles on it without turbo the turbo was finished and on the test drive after the rechip blew the vacuum line off the wastegate to the turbo feeding the motor 28 pounds of unrighteous boost. Severe detonation My Pride and joy SHattered all four cylinder walls into rubble.

I Guess it happens to the best of us but its crazy how a little vaccum line caused that much damage.
I am looking for a Gsr or ITR Block complete or bare let me know it u have one for sale i need to get this thing going again. Thanks

 

That sucks buddy. Hopefully the dark side is strong in you for another build.

Any pictures of the carnage

 

sorry to here that, keep your head up

 

How did the car feel running 28lb? Sucks man.....

 

couldnt u have had the boost cut on and have prevented this??

 

Thanks i hope to have it going again soon i will get some pics off they are pretty nasty i figure the block would make a lovely coffee table though i will now be tuning the car on crome instead of uberdata so i will be able to control my boost better because i dont think i had that option in uber. Also Clamp every vacuum line on the damn thing&gt;

uber does have a boost cut feature. Do you have stock map sensor still or aftermarket? Its not so good if you are running close to the max of the stock sensor, but if you have a map sensor that reads higher then its fine. It will basically give you a lower rev limit if you hit too much boost. Not quite as good as cromes because crome will cut fuel right when it sees too much boost, but still better than nothing.

 

Push on nylon high heat hose and fittings... NEVER will come off.

I will vouch for them. PM me if you have any questions.

 

you could have even just used a hose clamp or a zip tie, that will help do the job.


i feel your pain though, i had boost creep and maxxed my fuel system out. cracked my sleeve and trashed that motor. it sucks

edit::: i see you ran a deltagate....they have a reputation for creeping

 

new block is on the way im going with an itr block this time with block guard and cylinder enforcement pins lets hope these cylinder walls dont come tumblin down

 

thats why i love my boost cut protection.
Good luck for the next build

Agreed, i double zip tie ALL of my vacuum line son my engine and have never had an issue with them blowing off. i blew charge pipes off on the dyno though lol sounds liek a rod through the block at 25 psi LOL

 

i use mini hose clamps on all my vac lines. The small ones for boost gage etc.. Get tie wraps.

 

28psi on a 7psi waste gate spring is more then Boost creep HAHA, more like max boost for the turbo

 

does anybody know if hondata s200 has boost cut?
