thats a lot of blown engines!!

fav quote "Oil drain plug fell out while on the highway. No warning of any oil leaks prior to the event."

that would do it :lol:


"Id try to make a run at 28 psi, had a lot of knock, and then my pistons where toasted, knock sensor broken - 2 liter of oil lost, and my crankshaft was out of balance."

brave chap that person!! ^^

Americans rate their fuel by MON, whereas ours is RON (I think?). Its alot lower rating, but effectively the same octane.
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

I think we have a winner here....

Not really sure what happened. I was at full boost, top of 2nd gear, around 7k rpms, about to shift, and BOOM. I had full oil, brand new turbo on, and the car had just (about an hour before) passed an anal Utah emissions test. I shattered piston 1, broke the crank journals, busted up the head , bent valves, completely broke one of the valves off, put a hole in EACH side of the engine block, tore up the turbo lines, and ruined the oil pan. Again, I still do not know what caused the failure.
