Here is the motor with it's Toda pistons before the tragedy:




After an unfortunate 3-2 shift at 9,000 rpm






Finally, after Dan Benson resleeved the motor and IB Jeff hooked me up with some pistons






Car is up and running as strong as ever. Time for a trip to the dyno

 

Was this in your ITR?

woww!!!

nice rebuild

 

That mis shift must of costed you a few dollars.

 

oh god, that makes me nervous, makes me want to get a long throw shifter. Man you f*ckin' decimated that piston.

 

man that looks ugly good luck on your rebuild

 

only 9k? and it did that? what caused it....i shift at about 9,800k when i drag and havnt done anything like that yet...or were you at 9k when you hit 2nd instead of 4th?

 

9000 rpm in 3rd gear is alot more than 9800 in second with mechanical over rev from a mis-shift.

Yes, hit second instead of 4th. I figure the engine hit at least 12,000 rpm.

Less than you might think

 

Man Tood, you sure know how to make us jealous..
Great replacement.. Keep us posted with some dyno numbers..

Damm Todd , you own more motors than I have dyno passes.

 

It is funny how the piston hole is the perfect shape of the number 1.

Anyway, that is terrible. Hope the new motor works out well for you.

 

wow how long did you run the motor after the mis shift? or did it just die right away.

From the looks of it, death was instantaneous

i've seen plenty of burned and shatered pistons before, and to me it looks like he drove it home, then to the bank and then to benson's, i'm suprised the wrist pin didn't pull out and shater the piston,
ohh well the new motor looks awsome

lol. I wish. I am down to only three blocks.
Two for the Civic and the motor pictured above for my Integra. And I only have two good heads left, three if you count the one Brad has. The head that was on the car when I mis-shifted is scrap.

And you know I will post numbers when I hit the dyno, Jason

Death was instantaneous. Huge cloud of smoke and the engine died. Would not crank. Clutch was toast too-would not shift. Was in South Central LA when it happened

Looks like the we-todd salute to me! Man that is one ugly piston.

At least your car wasn't going to get stolen that day!!

A rev limiter is no use on a miss-shift. The ole motor looks good as new though.

Mechanical over-rev. Shifted from 3rd to 2nd. Rev limiter only cuts fuel, while going into the wrong gear puts the weight of the car into the over-rev. I've done it, probably most road racers have at one point

I did the exact same thing and I only bent a couple exhaust valves...

 

just to add humor to the topic doesnt the hole in the piston resemble a "1"
