Another one bites the dust

Ok here goes, tonight, we (myself and some friends) had few runs … and at the end my engine called it quits and blow up … yah I can confirm that the stock block (i.e. rods and pistons) can not handle more than 13psi .. I was running 13.6psi at the time..

I will keep you guys posted… I will take some pictures as soon as I take the engine out.

If anybody have a long block for sell please PM me.

ugh. Well, it wasn't a greddy kit at least. How much whp were you putting out at 13.6psi?

I wouldn't dream of taking it past 8-9psi on stock internals.

 

WOW, 13.6 psi I guess you were shooting to see the failure point?

I guess you should have gottent he APS kit

Good luck.

 

I never dynoed the car at that level of boost, but I can tell you it was more than 450hp

btw, I was running 10psi for some time and it was fine

Az

 

lol I was just pushing the engine to its limit and beside, it gives me a good reason to get a new built engine

 

Do you think the APS would of held up at 13psi on a stock motor ?????????
I dont think soooooooooo


Sorry to hear that it went boom

 

From everything I hear it is IMPOSSIBLE to get the APS TT past 12psi, and in some cases 10psi. There's a whole thread on it in this forum.

So it's actually a good thing he's running the UR TT in this case.

 

My point was....NO kit is going to hold up at 13.6psi on a stock motor . And I have read some of that APS theead

 

True. But at least now that he's blown up his stock motor he can realy crank up the boost on a forged one. (Which I think was the point )

 

Dam, I wish I was the same way he is about blowing up his motor. When I blew mine up I was all sorts of pissed.

 

I think he meant the APS thing as a joke, since it's been the answer to just about every (insert kit other than APS) kit's engine failure.

 

you probably wouldnt have been upset if you had got away with several months of boosting it first tho... everyone knows its a matter of time at higher HP... but if you at least get to have some serious fun with it first its a lot easier to accept im sure.

good luck on the build project!

 

Dude, look at the smiley, it was my attempt at sarcasm since that is all you hear when an engine with a Greddy blows, look at my sig I have a Greddy

 

OK OK OK I got it . Its just that some think that nothing can go wrong with the APS kit

 

Az,

Really sorry to hear about that.... was talking about the tuning with you last week and now, you had your engine blown.... sorry mate! But I am sure your new engine will be nice and strong..... are you going for APS TT kit this time? And what are you gonna have in your engine? Cannot wait to see the new project now!

All the best and will talk to you shortly!

cheers,

richie

 

Why would he buy a whole new TT kit especially now that he has to rebuild? He damaged the motor not the turbos.

 

aalzuhair,

Sorry to hear about your motor, but I am glad you are taking it so well.

 

Boy this board sure is active this weekend with motor failures. I bet APS will get a bunch of orders tomorrow from those that were thinking about other FI kits.

 

so you guys had a few runs, I hope you won!!

 

damn...
so many frickin motors blowing lately!!!

WTF??!?!?!?!?!?!
crazy...like i have offered several times...pm your e-mail address, i'll send you some spreadsheets that i compliled that will help you out
