How many motors have you blown?

[Humphrizzle]

zero

[GTScoob]

Spun the bearing on my old EJ205 slowing down from a 140mph pull, started knocking once I got down to 75mph or so. But there were 40K of hard miles on that motor and I think it was above stock boost for 35K of those.

[TS240]

Never technically "blown" a motor but my sr has been through a ton of shit in the last two years.... bent valves, blown headgaskets, warped head etc... Apparently Im getting away with a lot on a stock bottom end.

[DG240]

3 for me:

1st- waterpump broke on '88 isuzu p/u while doing 80! can you say hydrolock?

2nd- spun rod bearing on s14 ka

3rd- spun rod bearing on s13 ka

[Stol3n]

LOL. Poor Rick. I think my favorite story is when his crank snout broke. Lolol. The boy has such bad luck with that car.

listening to him tell that story makes me LOL.

In his defense, he does drive the piss out of that car every single day (that it's running). . .I think it's over 100k now.

[btstone]

You're a fucking dumbass. You don't deserve a fast car.

did he have one?

[4eyedbox]

Back around '98 I had a thing for trying to add nitrous to the old D15 dual injector engines, as they were dirt cheap. Needless to say, I never got one to hold anything over a 100 shot, regardless of which fuel jet I used with it. I would say all together that Doug, my cohort in all of this, and myself probably blew 15 of these engines. I know of one weekend were we blew 4 from Friday evening till Sunday afternoon.

I blew 2 Pontiac Quad4 engines. The first suffered from detonation and blew a piston apart. The second had a fuel problem with a s/c and ended up going seriously lean and throwing rods through the block.

With my BMW, I have torn the S50 up twice. The first time the cylinder head cracked and it hydrolocked #3 or #4. Then the last time I bent 2 rods from boost spikes.

I blew up a friends s/c 302 in his foxbody when we took it to Colorado in '97. That was the last time that I ever drove a Mustang.

I blew several (4 or 5) B18's when first stepping into the FI Honda world back in '98-'99. Finally got it right when I took it to get tuned in FL. However upon first arriving, I didn't think that the drunk ass guy could even stand up, let alone tune my car. Well he did and his tune lasted 20K+ miles of pure abusive driving until the car got stolen.

I won't go into all the air cooled motors that I blew other than asking, "Have you ever seen a 1600cc blow 2 foot flames back through the carb as the carb is being blown off the engine?"

[AnthonyF]

did he have one?

Yup yup. Ü

About to have another one since I sold my truck. Then comes heavily modding the bike. w00t w00t.

Lies, all lies!!!
Nobody believes that a rotary is reliable.

[h22 jones]

Well after reading this thread i believe i have tosted more motors than most people have owned cars lol.

1 crx -blowed head gasket
2 crx-locked up cam
3 crx-spun rod bearing
4 crx-dropped valve (3 transmissions)
well that was 6 months after i turned 16 and im 31 now lol and thats how i learned to work on hondas.
5 94 toyota spun rod bearing
6 92 mazda b2600 spun rod bearing
7 93 hatch with h22 siezed up
8 94 si hatch turbo h22 blown piston rings
9 95 accord f22 spun rod bearings
10 95 accord f20b spun rod bearing
11 95 accord built h22 fly wheel came off fucked up crank
12 95 accord built h22 different fly wheel broke in half shot through transmission fucked up block
13 95 accord built h22 fried piston injector stopped up
14 93 si hatch built h22 broke timing built messed head up and broke crank.
15 93 si hatch built h22 fried piston
16 93 si hatch built h22 fried piston types pistons want work in sleeved block.
17 93 si hatch built h22 new forged pistons 252 hp all motor 2000 miles runs great for now lol.

[jdm-civic]

threw a rod through the block in my ls swapped crx si

[superboost]

3

Dropped valve, smacks piston, piston drives valve into head, pierces water jacket.


Overboosted, stupidly removed fuel cut, bent two rods, cracked a piston, cracked a cyl wall.


Wrist pin let go, piston beat into head (nice ported head too) rod beat out wall.

[aaronfelipe]

I refuse to participate in the poll as it might JINX me.

[Lankhoss]

I was practically forced to blow the first motor in my car, since GM wouldn't replace the bad oil pump.

lol..i like the nice, vivid descriptions of internal engine destruction in that post there..

[Dwisforme05]

Engines:
1. S/c no tune broke piston
2. S/c no tune broke 6 pistons, head gasket, bearing, everything
3. back up engine, stock
4. S/c poor tune burnt up 6 forged pistons
5. s/c clogged injector burnt up one piston
6. s/c, meth, nitrous, still running in the mustang..

Hopefully I will buy the car back, and blow up the engine and stick something in MUCH larger.

-Ant.

i know you know better then this. why would you ever run an S/C on a 4.0 without a tune. on any motor for that matter.


as for my answer, i havent blown any( knock on wood) my motor is running just dandy lol

it was there "mail" tune. which was supposed to be fine for the psi that was being run. Oh well. Live and learn.

LAST time i will ask, I still have those ford racing 39.5# Injectors. Do you need them? Or already have a set? Know anyone that needs them? $100, plus i have the PC BOV & a 10psi pulley for a PC.

[squirrel]

4 motors. (1) d16a6 (2) d16a6/z6 (3) JDM boosted ZC (4) b18a1 all in the car u see below

[bdydrpdmazda]

1 for me... the 2.5 outta my Spec V...

[SLow_POke]

i was a nitrous junkie.

1 DOHC ZC on nitrous

2 b16's one droped a valve, ecu had no reve limiter
the other blew 2 spark plugs to shits and one cylinder took a dump

1 y8 neglect that motor

1 d16 neglected that motor.

2 302's from my 67 merc. my guess poor oil flow. OPG went dead for 10 seconds vefore it took a dump. the other i simply did not built properly smoke the shit out of a few z06's though

1 350 on my k5 i loved that bitch was my off road beast

[PURP]

1. 02 civic engine (friends car..lol)
2. 88 Nissan Pulsar head gasket went
3. 92 Civic hatch - (2) B18B's, (1) B16A, (1) B18C
4. 98 Integra - B18B.. developed rod knock. Still counts though..lol

That's 7.

The 92 hatch was all in just 5 months. That's gotta be a record, right?

[wanganU13]

1 in a 89 grand pri
2 in a 98 aurora




And ant,u had 1 sexy stang i must admit

why were you racing theses cars?

[04sleepa]

2..one from an 96 eclipse with 140,xxx on it. who ever had it before me raped ittt. then the replacement from the junkyard lasted about 2 weeks ha

[AnthonyF]

I dunno, I blew a back up engine in 2 weeks. lol

-Ant.

[.:Stirfry:.]

none.

[Z0_o6]

the most damage i've done so far is to push the headgaskets on my subaru with some C16 and 30-32 psi.

[KevinT707]

1 - Spun a bearing on my old JDM B16 from running a dry 75 shot (tuned).

I've gone through several trans and clutch kits though..

[DeeAOne]

1.

the KLDE that i swapped in spun a rod bearing.
