Re: My nOOb-ass turbo project--Warning 56K
 

Crushing a DSM BOV "should" stop it from leaking at 15-20psi, he isn't running that much boost, so there is no need to crush it.

Re: My nOOb-ass turbo project--Warning 56K UPDATE: It lives! well...sorta.
 

UPDATE: It's not a very special update, but I've been having the biggest bitch of a time trying to get my car running...at all. I didn't know if the ecu was the problem, or the chip burner, or my rom's or something else, so I figured I'd put in stock ecu/injectors just to see if it was started (I thought maybe I blew a fuse or something). It started! But it took A LOT of effort. My car's been sitting for a while with some old shitty gas (don't worry 93's goin in). There's no way it would've started w/out the stock stuff.

So I got it "running", and it sounded awesome, so I'm somewhat revitalized. Today I go back to try my burn1/and or ostrich. Hopefully I can give you a real update later. Thanks for all the support guys.

Werd

Well guys, I sorted out all of my problems with the car not starting, solid CEL's, random CEL's, not burning chips right, all that, and I got my civic on the road today. It was quite exciting for a few hours, and now my block has a golf ball-sized hole in it. I was running a crome basemap w/rc440s, .8deg retard/psi, 110% turbo efficiency, blah blah.

My friends saw a huge flame shoot from underneath my car (open dp) and it sounded like a ------- shotgun. Car still runs pretty good actually, just sprays a little oil outta the hole. I'll post pics of the aftermath soon, I have a vid of the aftermath too.

Plans are to attempt to jb weld the hole in the block and see how that goes. I'm looking for a new motor in the meantime.

Holy Homofantastic, nice install tho,

Re: My nOOb-ass turbo project--Warning 56K UPDATE: Blew the fuck out of it.
 

were you over reving it bad fuel what do you think ? Any specific you think it lost a rod?

Re: My nOOb-ass turbo project--Warning 56K UPDATE: Blew the fuck out of it.
 

isn't this the second noob setup that blew the ---- up lol

Re: My nOOb-ass turbo project--Warning 56K UPDATE: Blew the fuck out of it.
 

Yeah I think so.

Wasn't really revvin it no, plus it only revs to 6800 anyways, I didn't get that far, I'd had in 87 but the needle on the gas gauge was on the E line and I filled up with 93 so it's not that. I don't think I even lost a rod, I can still see it cycling and it actually didn't look that bad (keep in mind I couldn't see the whole thing) just a little scratched. I'll try to take some more pics today. It was backfiring pretty bad though.

if there is a hole obviously something broke so its not something you can just jb weld

I can try, all I'm going to wanna do is make it so I can drive it 4 min. to the garage at my school so I can tear out the motor and throw the new one in. I would have driven it the 2 min. back to my house but it was spritzing a little oil out the hole so I just had my friend tow me. I'll probably do a compression test too just for my own learning purposes.
