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.

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

**tdurr** · 01-22-2010, 02:40 PM

does bending a valve count as blowing the motor?

**ranger250x** · 01-22-2010, 02:48 PM

spun bearings in the miata and mustang. cracked the head(s) on my old ranger. dont know how tht happened. it was never out of WOT. lol

**jhadleyh** · 01-22-2010, 03:09 PM

just 1 d16

**teh_mugen18** · 01-22-2010, 03:13 PM

2.....

My first LS motor, locked up on me.
second LS motor lasted for a year, was converted to LSVTEC but was put together wrong and it blew within 5days of daily driving it w/vtec.. threw a rod and put a nice fat hole through the block due to oil starvation and high-rpms.

**Kason23** · 01-22-2010, 03:46 PM

I blew two B16 motors on my SI using nitrous (without fail safes). The SRT motor has held its own but I have messed two turbos up somehow lol

**TIGERJC** · 01-22-2010, 04:06 PM

1 in the mr2 - due to me not getting it tune

1 in the evo - mechanic fault (dont know who)

**SmackedInATL** · 01-22-2010, 04:09 PM

Ask 03CobraAV8R how many Terminator motors he has blown up.

**collins** · 01-22-2010, 04:19 PM

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

I, myself, have only popped one engine. It was the original b18 in my old teg. She spun a main bearing at the top of a 2-3 shift. She lasted 193k miles of sheer torture tho, so can't say I didn't get my money's worth.

**CeOTiO8** · 01-22-2010, 05:16 PM

ZERO... Never had driving problems

**On_Her_Face** · 01-22-2010, 05:17 PM

I ruined the head, #6 piston and piston wall on my first motor.

**los** · 01-22-2010, 05:23 PM

just one a 300zx na

**GangstaCoupe** · 01-22-2010, 05:27 PM

I hurt/blew 3 motors in 09 alone, although it wasn't in a street car.

**btstone** · 01-22-2010, 05:46 PM

0 motors for me
my s2k motor was super strong. i put 650whp on the stock engine and beat the shit out of it....trannies suck though

**Evil Goat** · 01-22-2010, 10:24 PM

put a golf ball sized hole in the side of a piston wall once.....

nothing on the current car but looking to change that this year....going for the stock block record is gonna be fun!

They sent a "tune" with it, but it couldn't handle it for some reason. Then when I did get it tune, it never ran right for some reason.

You've never raced me.

My dad's 06 SRT-10 can vouch for it.

How do you figure it had half my power when I trapped 109 and he trapped 110 when I busted his ass at the track last year Opening Day at SDR. Do I need to dig up a timeslip?

**40th GT** · 01-25-2010, 12:55 AM

I blew two in my go kart.
One was due to old age - 20 year old Briggs and Stratton.
The other one (Honda OHV) was from me running it without the air filter.

Didn't blow any in any cars.
