The ART of the BLOWN ENGINE (all opinions welcome)
#62
Also, through the research of 3 different engines on 3 different setups
Supercharger running a reflash
Stock ECU - Stock car
Turbo on Emanage
Cylinder 2 runs leaner than the others.. everyone should be aware
I believe its a design in the intake

My Greddy boost controller was tuned very well from both places.. No falling off or creep
If I had to go back to either I would go back to RIPP mods - Perry is a cool guy you just have to tell him what you want and be specific and go over everything before he thinks hes done with your car
No Limit I overall really didnt like my expierence.. but as far as the tune my car leaned out up top but my clutch went 2 days after so I dont have any long term information

Well that's the unit doing it's job. It's a great boost controller and it's meant to hold boost/prevent creep/prevent spikes. Them setting it up doesn't really have anything to do with preventing creep and stuff.

I give credit where credit is due.

Each time I login to SL it seems like another person or 2 have blown their engine. What are the most common causes of blown engines in boosted applications. I am specifically speaking in terms of the stock motor, not those pushing 20 lbs of boost on their built motors but those auto & manual running 5, 8, 10, 11 psi, etc.
Are these people tuned, bought crappy kits, pushing the limits too much (what is too much), etc.
I'm just trying to understand so that I don't make the same mistake.
Just today I login and see that rozz-tC and all4degame motors seem to be no more.

I have sadly seen Ebay turbo kits make great power (albeit not long at all due to the reliability of the components) but the reason they made good power was because they were tuned well.
Detonation will destroy even the most built of built engines.
Normal running compression pressures are generally half of what your static compression numbers are. (What you would read when doing a standard compression test.
So for all intents and purposes when the engine is running your compression numbers are around 120 psi. Add the amount of boost to that and your number rises but only slightly.
So we are at around 150 psi, running, maybe......
Detonation can cause pressure spikes in a cylinder of up to 10,000 psi.
That is enough to collapse ring lands on a piston, crack cylinder sleeves, blow head gaskets, smash rod bearings etc. It's like a jack hammer in your engine.
Number one killer of engines, bad tune.

Bad install?
Meaning the whole tube of RTV on the oil pan? That's the only way I can see an install botched and even then your oil pressure would read low and you know something is amiss.

i PMd chintastictc and he said that he put on his turbo on around 70k and blew it @ 112k
