I blew my engine

[slowboy101]

So sunday night me and the gf where cruising, I started to boost in fourth gear then blamo.... my engine blew like a granade. I now have a fist size hole in the back of my block

 

[nuclearr]

Ouch

 

[97-gst]

No good man...sorry to hear that. What are you planning to do now?

 

[Jermoturbo]

Sorry to hear that . I hope this wasn't your daily driver.

 

[rlacasse1]

YAY! Rebuild time!

 

[68442]

Have you found a reason for it? See you have dsmlink, did you have a laptop hooked up?

 

[FLASH1970]

Pics?

 

[JusMX141]

You seem....proud.

 

[Blue Talon Boy]

You know what they say.


"Blow it up, Build it bigger!!"

 

[psx]

bummer and ## lady was with you
ouch!

 

[slowboy101]

I am proud of it cause now I get to pull it out and build it bigger

 

[LiquidX]

So what caused it to blow or what were you really doing besides "cruising"

It seems a rod decided to throw itself out but for what reason?


Personally I wouldn't be happy as now you need to find a new block as well instead of reusing your (most likely) 6 bolt. Maybe you'll find a deal like I did and got a 6 bolt with crank for $100 but good luck.

^^ Im curious as well to what happened? Any ideas?

Oh and to the guy that asked if he had his laptop in....prob not since his GF was with him, unless she was sitting there wit the laptop monitoring and tuning it for him... er wait maybe thats why it blew up hahaha

I have a shortblock with a blown piston if you want to "build it bigger"

What's wrong with that ? My GF sits in the car with the laptop. I tell her what's going on and how it all works if she would be interested. She doesn't mess with anything however.

 

[Aproductions]

that sucks!!!

My car took a SH!T too but I am happy to build it bigger

 

[BrokenTsi]

I have a 2.4l running longblock with 10k miles on it if you want to go "bigger".

I think I threw a rod, and if my gf was sitting there watching the tune that would have been SEXY!!! but thats not the case I didnt have the laptop with. I was running 530hp with a stock block, so I'm guessing my rod decided to peice out . But the crazy thing is there were no signs it just up and snaped.

I would be intrested in that but how would I get it and how much are you asking?

Says your best guess, ECMLink's estimate, or a dyno sheet?

I don't know what you were expecting, but connecting rods do not send an alert message to your cell right before they're about to fail.

Many times it's not even the rod's fault- often the stock rod bolts will break under the pressure before a 6-bolt rod will fail.

 

[dsm_danny]

dammnnnnnn, that sux...hey you got any pics of it ? did your girl freak out when it happened

 

[Blue Talon Boy]

Justin is right, as always. You don't usually get a warning on a connecting rod. Which is what this sounds like. Good luck hunting down a new block cause you are going to need one...

It dynoed out at 530, and my connecting rods did send me a text saying they where tired
