Destruction now with pictures
 

My engine grenaded today while I was on the highway doing a 4th gear ripper.
I guess it didnt help that I was running 15psi on the stock map sensor either.

I'm just disappointed that I dont have a mode of transportation now.
I'll post carnage pics when I get the engine out.

I'm pretty sure the rod went through the back of the block.

Re: Destruction
 

probably not a good idea to run 15psi on stock internals AND stock map

Re: Destruction
 

JB weld it :6

Re: Destruction
 

the good news is that a d16 engine from a junk yard is only $200-$300. Where do you live. I can probably find you one.

Re: Destruction
 

Denver.

I would defintely appreciate it if you could find me a replacement.

Re: Destruction
 

15lbs stock z6......must have been fun O0

Re: Destruction
 

That sucks man, sorry to hear about that.

Re: Destruction
 

Dang thats pretty good for an NA engine on stock internals. 8)

Re: Destruction
 

What the big deal about running 15psi on a stock map? Sissies.... :6

Re: Destruction
 

I have a '96 d16y7 107,XXX miles w/ y8 Intake mani, throttle body, and exhaust mani(run perfect w/ a P06 obd1 ecu). I'd include copy of paperwork to prove it's not stolen. $400 shipped. PM me if you're interested. You might be able to pick one up cheaper at a yard, but if you have no luck then this is avaible.

Re: Destruction
 

I was just at the junk yard in commerce shitty and they had a Y8 that was in good shape. This place always has like 10-15 civics and they get new ones very often i would check it out. We bought a head from there for 50 bucks once.

Re: Destruction
 

not even high and that had me rolln on the fuckn floor laughn, but sucks your ---- blew shoulda been smarter.

Re: Destruction now with pictures
 

at least you went out with a bang

Re: Destruction now with pictures
 

Wow.Nice job :y If your gonna blow it up at least do it huge.

Re: Destruction now with pictures
 

your ringlands look intact, how long were you running 15psi? Ultra conservative tune or?

Re: Destruction now with pictures
 

Well I inspected the ring landings very closely today and I noticed a tiny crack on the piston with the straight rod. Then I looked at piston with the bent rod and noticed a crack in the same place. The piston with the broken rod had no such crack. So then I went to look at the 4th piston and it had a crack in the exact same place. I poked at the crack and the ring landing just came out.

Defintely looks like a structural weak point in the honda pistons.

Re: Destruction now with pictures
 

Ummm no ----? So are the stock rods. You been under a ------ rock the past 20 years? So whats next.

"My diff blew up wtf!!"

Re: Destruction now with pictures
 

Hey asshat, ---- you ;D

I meant that its strange how they all cracked in the exact same place.

Re: Destruction now with pictures
 

They always crack on the intake side of the piston. If your good you can break off a full 180 8)

Re: Destruction now with pictures
 

wtf were you doing running 15 psi on stock z6 internals, beside i though a obd1 map only went to 14 and even at that it would boost cut and sound like ass, whata dumbass maybe if you ran lik 8-10 like normal people would with brains youd still be mob'n your car.

Re: Destruction
 

that what im saying. must have been the bbka map ;), although lack of adding more fuel because of pure laziness caused me to blow my ringlands ;D

Re: Destruction now with pictures
 

You guys are pussies

Re: Destruction now with pictures
 

how long did that 15psi last on a stock D?

Re: Destruction
 

kick someones ass for me. i got scamed by someone in denver

Re: Destruction now with pictures
 

Its times like this where I like having 4 cars.

Re: Destruction now with pictures
 

Well it was on 6-7psi for a long time but at 15psi probably a month total.

Rawr, was it that vwvortex guy?
