Haha not my motor. I’m buying a whole new long block. My rod shot through the middle of the motor and put through my oil pan. And that was only at 35-40% throttle in 3rd gear. Imagine if I was actually in the middle of a race lol. It would look my friend Driver B’s Si lol. Driver B is gonna install my new motor.

Did driver b blow his si motor to?

His son blew his wife’s Si motor. Turbo had upgraded internals that driver b did himself and pushing like 30+ psi. His son was pushing the car hard uphill with the AC on and here’s his motor

There is a silver lining here. The trans, diff, and crank? , seem to handle the added TQ.

Stock crank/diff can take a beating. As for the trans.. there's been a few reports of gear failure recently. One theory, supplied by Emman, was a imperfection in the gutters above gear 3 and 4. Back up by a picture of his vs a newly bought one.

Map has also killed a few drive shafts and a trans themselves. But they beat that thing into the dirt daily.

Holy crap 30+psi I think the SI block can handle 320lb/tq but you'll have to be careful on how you throw it at it. Up hill and ac on is a ton of load for the rods that's forsure. Do you know how much torque he was making.

Not sure on torque but his wife’s Si was 290+Hp

If I may ask.. Why get a whole new motor? I'm sure there are rebuild kids, and depending on the damage you could just get the crank machined and walls honed and be okay I would think.

I was seeing used motors go for around a grand on ebay, but that's still hit or miss in itself.

dealer gave me a parts list and total came out to 5,800 not including labor. My new motor only has 10k miles on it. I thought 22k but he told me they messed up and it’s only 10k but it only cost me 2,600 and labor is $850.

That's not too terrible then. Could be worse.

Rebuild in a lot of cases is more expensive. Back in 93 I had a 1976 Mercedes 280, I cracked the head and blew the head gasket. Block was fine. There was a shop in LA that had a remanufactured engine, $3000 with installation. A friend of mine who was a mechanic told me he could rebuild the head for much cheaper and talked me into it. BS. Parts alone were nearly $4k, getting it machined was $800, by the time everything was said and done, I had spent over $5500 and the car still wasn't running. I was bleeding so much money I put a stop to it, ended up selling it for $1200 to someone who needed it for parts. My "friend" mechanic left me high and dry and had the nerve to ask for an additional $500 for a job he didn't complete. I have not spoken to him since 93...

Well the block is cracked. If that wasn't the case, he could buy upgraded pistons, rods, block guard ect.. Drop it off at a reputable machine shop and have it back in a few days. That's what we did with my friends GSR when he grenaded his motor with nitro. His block was still intact though.
