Over Boosted!!!!!!!!

 

Remember...BOOST does not kill engines..PEOPLE with BOOST kill engines..
Who installed it?

 

Owch... Did they have the boost improperly turned up or did you turn it up? I believe i heard of an incident where a company installed TT and set the boost way too high and the same thing happened. Either way, that really sucks.

 

OUCH
That sucks hopefully the company that did it will help fix it at least...

 

I did and please don't question my install.

It was a cold night for south Florida (50's) and I have a 3 in exhuast with nothing but the muffler.

 

is the cylnder wall still in good shape?

 

#1)Did you have the Overboost pipe kit? (was it a newer kit?)
#2) did you add mods that increase boost pressure and reduce back pressure such as exhaust, plenum?
#3) What was you A/F like on the kit?

I have noticed the spring in WG in the TN kit does spike a bit, we usually replace them with the 5psi spring to prevent spiking..otherwise you see 9-11psi spikes alot..Even with the Overboost pipe.

 

Nvm

 

Yes no damage.

 

Sorry for the noob question, but are those our STOCK connecting rods?

I thought that's a no-no for turbo?

 

you got lucky, now you can go forged

 

Very nice.. built motor time!

How much boost were you running?

 

Any more info on your setup or is that top secret ?

 

yeah need to know more info about your setup and who tuned it?!

 

Sorry to hear that bro. Let us know what route you decide to go on the motor.

 

damn, sucks man hang in there! it'll get better. Stuff like this is always the worst feeling for the first few days, then you start to feel some hope in getting back on your feet

 

Be thankful that the block's intact... Could have been MUCH worse.

 

^^^
Agreed. Most are not so fortunate. When my rod let loose it punched a hole through the sleeve because the piston split in half and then it shot out the side of the block.

 

some people with TT's have actually destroyed their actual turbos where the turbine wheels were all chewed up. At least the TN kit places the turbo up and out of the way and is further away from all the force blowing up in the engine

 

So how much did it overboost? Was the new piping installed? What was peak pressure measured? What was the AFR?
