Snapped a rod and it blew right through the block. Man what a bummer. New engine is on the way though.. should be back on the road within two weeks. I'll post pics of the dammage sometime tomorrow...

O no! What it happen? Got wreck?

delsolvtec · 09-20-2003, 02:56 AM

Broke a connecting rod..

*KwikR6* · 09-20-2003, 02:22 PM

That ****ing sucks bro
Bring on the pics.

Grip72 · 09-20-2003, 02:38 PM

how'd u break it tho?

*KwikR6* · 09-20-2003, 02:50 PM

my guess....too much boost?

delsolvtec · 09-21-2003, 11:24 PM

Too much boost on some weak rods. It was fun while it lasted. I'm looking into installing a turbo B18..

*KwikR6* · 09-22-2003, 11:36 AM

ohhh now that sounds fun
fully build b18.

delsolvtec · 09-22-2003, 02:01 PM

Yup, the B18 will get

Crower Rods
Aries Pistons
Balanced Knife edged crank
port and polish
crower valves, springs and ti retainers

and a host of other goodies like stand alone management etc.. I can't wait.

*KwikR6* · 09-22-2003, 02:49 PM

I can't wait either.!!

*pdiggitydogg* · 09-22-2003, 03:21 PM

I was kinda about that stuff on your setup...unfortunately...

glad to hear that the fixins are in the works...hard to beat a b18+boost

Grip72 · 09-22-2003, 04:00 PM

i want to do a h22a turbo....

delsolvtec · 09-23-2003, 12:39 AM

Well guys here are the photos..

Here is the bogus rod and the chunks that I fished out of the oil pan when I took it off..

The side of the aries forged piston that got slammed againts the cylinder wall...

The hole in the back of the engine block..

The broken crank bearing caps and oil pump pickup..

The chipped cylinder bore..

The car about 20 minutes before ripping the motor out..

The head sitting on my workbench..

And just an FYI, it's getting a B18B integra LS motor, I'm sick of screwing around with trying to tune a vtec turbo. It's LS time for me.

ebpda9 · 09-24-2003, 01:01 PM

that sucks to hear that but i hope it's all for the better

*KwikR6* · 09-24-2003, 01:52 PM

Good to hear about the LS motor...Great choice in my opinion...they are sweet to boost...but I do'n tneed to tell you that...
oh and hey dude...did you ever get those seats in?
If so, how are they.

delsolvtec · 09-25-2003, 03:26 PM

Nope, haven't installed them yet. The engine is priority one right now. Speed first, looks later..
