Goobers blown engine

gooberhead320 · July 2nd, 2009, 05:42 PM

i decided just to make a different thread about it.

for those that don't know i blew my engine back in october. i had a vortech v1 at 6psi making 272rwhp/284rwtq and only other mod was exhaust.

i pulled out a lot and that is just what is left over that i didn't get.

orson250 · July 2nd, 2009, 06:43 PM

what happenend? and how did you get 270 rwhp on 6 psi?

gooberhead320 · July 2nd, 2009, 07:53 PM

i was going down the track and just crossed the finish line and it happened.

i went to a well known guy that deals specifically with mustangs. he is out of Norwalk Ohio, just down the street from Summit Motorsports Park.

just read the first page and you will see how easy it was for them to get 272 out of my car

Must agree.

How did you blow it up? Miles on it? Did you ever post your dyno graph I don't remember if you did or not.

Pics with heads off ftw!

for the last time I DON'T KNOW HOW IT BLEW UP!! maybe you just never read my posts when you asked me that the last 10 times. i had 56,9xx miles on it. i don't have the dyno graph anymore. i threw it away a long time ago since i don't need it

Lind · July 2nd, 2009, 11:48 PM

hmm, pull the heads off and snap some pictures, should be a good starting point as to what went wrong, sucks that you only had 280 and she went

mooses · July 3rd, 2009, 12:32 AM

Can't wait to see pictures once you get the heads off.

Did you not scan it / photo bucket it / something?

6psi/270hp/56k miles, something went wrong somewhere.

lol im highly doubting you were too hard on it unless your redlining it at every stop/shift

270 on a stock v6 isnt an issue unless you have an issue/s

stephen · July 4th, 2009, 03:27 PM

The metal that is in the engine looks like it is the remains of a piston. The stock hypereutectic pistons are claimed to commonly fail if pushed too hard. They are an alloy of aluminum and silicon that is hard but somewhat brittle. You might want to rebuild the engine with forged pistons.
