in Germany the front wheel drive dynos are rated at 300hp, and the all wheel drive dynos are rated to about 600hp.
I wish I was in the states with my car, I am in miami on vacation right now and there are so many options here.

Re: motor finally shit on me
 

I just tore the motor down, found out that I spun the number 3 rod bearing, good thing I caught before it was too late, no additional damage, crank looks great still polished and smooth. the rod look reusable buts it blue from the friction heat. so I am gonna replace it. will rebuild this until I get my sleeved block.

question for the people who have experience only: since I took the whole motor apart, is it fine to use a ball hone to pass through the cylinders without having to replacing the rings? only doing this because rings were seated but I removed them so they may need a new hone

Re: motor finally shit on me (UPDATE)
 

Crank is damaged, netsearch glaze break hone.

After Leroy says 23psi from SC61 this is Jeff's response.


No one found this odd that his biggest concern was timing NOT the fact of 23psi of a turbo that flows more than 2 14b's, haha.



Oh, and glad to see nothing was ridiculously wrong. Good luck with getting it back to raping. :y

Your rod look like this?

Re: motor finally shit on me (UPDATE)
 

yeah but not as bad

Re: motor finally shit on me (UPDATE)
 

The rod's temper is just as ruined. Put it on the wall as a trophy or throw it away.

You need to rehone in order to seat new rings. If the bores look mint with good crosshatching, you just need a light glaze break hone.

All in all not as bad as it could be - a few hundred bucks and you're back in the saddle assraping all comers. :)
