NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
My own ------- fault. I should have known. It was almost like someone was telling me to let off the gas and I wouldn't. Tonight I disabled my 110mph speed limiter and decided to take a decent rip. Decent enough up to 135mph. Yea after I just read that post about boosting in 5th. I don't know WHAT the ---- I was thinking. Coming up a highway hill on 10psi going 135mph. Then it happened. A sudden pop, then parts falling everywhere for the next 1/2 mile or so as the car stopped running. Oil, smoke everywhere. Somehow I was able to roll into hooter's parking lot just off the highway. I am really in shock right now. I still don't think I know what happened. So far I see that the oil return line is no longer on the turbo. The oil pan is cracked in at least one place with a rod hanging halfway out. Thats in the front of the pan. I can only imagine what the rear looks like. Oil covering the back of my car, oil everywhere as i'm sure you can imagine. ---- ---- ---- ----, i'm an idiot. what was I thinking? I have no idea. Just went to josh's and pulled him out of bed to chat about it. I think i'm just gonna snag a junkyard motor depending on what the damage is like. Build that with pistons and rods and lay low at 300whp or so. Well the towtruck just brought me home and my friend took some pictures, so i'll post those up in a few. ----... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Rip baby

Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy
fucken sucks ballz.... we live and learn. I've done my fair share of 5th gear boost and nitrous shots... :y
Just gotta make sure the next one is better built. |
Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy
Sorry to hear that man. :( Use this oppertunity to build a better setup. Look at the bright side, you did enjoy it while it last and you have a few kills under your belt. ;)
Good luck. |
Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
Damm nice work on ventilating the crank.---- happens and now you have a excuse to build a motor.We all have broke a major part here or are about to.I dont imagine the wrecker would want to much for a motor would they?Make the most of this oportunity and build a Honda killing Cav. :y
|
Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
just think of it as an opertunity to put in a new clutch. i just changed a z24 motor in a girls car for like 300 bucks, motor was 240 with 60k on it from a local yard. you shouldent be down for to long.
|
Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
dam, that blows.
|
Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
dude.... damn Pete that sucks big time :'( it happenes to the best of us though, i'm sure at leest everyone here has blown an engine or 2 before. try to like at it in a good way. cause you know you'll just come back bigger and better :6
try not to think about it to much, i mean ---- its winter anyway. you got a long ways till spring. |
Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
:3 after reading the boosting in fifth thread...lol ...more than likely you spun a rod bearing... i would put a pretty penny on that ... some sort of oil starvation ..built up pressure that why it blew the sending unit out of the back of the block
|
Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
damn, now this would have made a good video ;)
it sucks bro, just build a new block. good luck |
Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
That was one quick Cavy. Sorry to see it go. Don't be too hard on yourself though. Atleast YOU blew it up and not poor tuning or WG failure or something. You can brag this way. :P Anyway, time to build the block and blow some big steam. You plan on staying with the 2.4L? I hope so. Anyway, I thought this was funny....."...lay low at 300whp or so..." LOL. Low to who? Good luck man.

Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
---- happens. you'll come back stronger :y
|
Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
i told pete this would be a sweet time to build a lower end, install his clutch and for me to make a topmount manifold for him.
i told him to sell his mani turbo downpipe setup to cover cost of internals, and then id hook him up with a mani as long as he paid for just material. petes a good kid, although he did wake me up at 2am last night.... |
Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
No biggy Pete. It was bound to happen at some point. Better now than than when I was handing you your ass at the pike next year! Just kidding bro. Hopefully you can get her built back up by opening day of the track next year. Think about it like a nice hard shove towards forged internals. It will be so much faster next year.

Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
Aw Pete dude this sucks. Sorry to hear about it... good luck with the build! :D

tsnadoutside, pulls out bugle, and starts playing tapps.
|
Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
Yea that really sucks pete, hopefully you can rebuild cheaply and get it running again. I have never done 5th gear pulls in the accord, and im pretty sure sooner or later im gonna end up blowing the accord too...

Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
That sucks man...
Speed is a disease, and like most diseases, it ends in an unfavorable out come good luck with the new build |
Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
i think of speed as more of a unrelenting drug than a disease. when i was racing that gto i wanted to go in 5th and rip it, but from reading everything about 5th gear pulls i didnt do it. sorry to hear man. but we all have to learn somehow. :-\ i learned when i was running open compressor and my radiator hose popped off and i sucked up about a gallon of antifreeze. do i need to explain more?

Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
My 240sx blew up the day I removed my speed limiter too (60 miles from home too). Perhaps they should start referring to the speed limiter as the 'rod retainer'
Sorry about your car. I think most of us know the feeling :( |

Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
jsut think about it, me and josh both blew our motors, and what are we doing now, building them. be like us build a motor. its what all the cool people do ;) but soryr about that man. i dont htink ive ever done a 5th gear boosted pull ever in any of my setups,
|
Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
OUCH...sorry Pete
|
Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
When rods exit the block at high speed its a very unique sound.. Almost like doing a huge burnout in the gravel, god I miss those days ;)
Sorry to hear Pete, put in some OT and save some money. Because forged internals are not cheap. Jeff |
Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
Really, its ok. I have alll winter to do what I want to do :6

Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*

Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*

Re: NO.. this cant be, blew up the cavy *pics*
