With the recent release of the SST TCU Crack, I decided to do some launches. Got some solid sub-4.2second 0-60mph pulls before giving it a bit too much boost and timing.How did you window the OEM block? I love these cars. Wouldn’t mind one at all.

At 5500 rpm the stock turbo can produce 18psi, and as soon as it loads up off the line, it spikes to max boost. I was essentially doing 1mph with 26psi on e85. Looks like the rod bent/broke and grenaded.
Wrist pin rolled down the trailer ramp when loading it up... ouch!
Hamish from evoscan has seen stock turbo, stock block cars do 3.3 second 0-60mph times, so I was kinda chasing something closer to that time.
So yes, it had 212k miles on it, but I was also abusing the shit out of it.
This time I'll be a bit more careful, avoid launching, and sleeve the block during winter downtime.
Haha yes, it is...That is both hilarious, and epic at the same time. Makes me want one even more. When does the transmission start grenading?
