[gimpo2]

looks like it was rubbin on something

 

[smo0f]

your motor blew?

 

[jflo]

it's gotta be more than just something. the entire length of those blades are ****** up, but the other set isn't. it looks like something was sucked in to there and couldn't pass through the blades so it kept grinding them.

 

[EvoMR]

Looks like someone tried porting and clipping the turbo and instead rubbed a dremmel along the blades... Doesn't even resemble compressor surge so boggles my mind.

Damn dude, hey if you need a new engine, Chris aka neversober is tryin to get rid of his stock block out of his old speed. I'll link him to this thread for ya.

ya motor is blown..blew at about 7psi.. and ive already got a motor from ken..but ya me and tony werent positive what casued it..the fans on the intake side are ****** but on the outlet/IC side they are fine..i checked my air filter adn there were no holes or anything suspicious

 

[tricky]

ouch, my condolences. now that you have an excuse why not go for a GT28?

 

[terbow]

the inlet has a bunch of dings, im guessing something got in there and couldnt pass and tore s*** up like it was 1999

 

[Jeph]

Huh, at first look i would've asked what kind of filter you were using. But if the outlet fins to the IC are ok then i'm baffled...

 

[Kansei]

Wow how did something like that happen on the intake side? ouch that's crazy.

 

[onequickmsp]

How did you blow your engine? Over boost?

 

[terbow]

something got into the intake path.

wont know till we rip the block apart but there was no detonation on the plugs (tune was good)

 

[onequickmsp]

that suxs!! My condolences.

 

[ChopstickHero]

something got into the intake path.

yeah, that's what i'm thinking... and because the turbo spins so quickly, it just grinded whatever was in there. were you doing any installs that could've dropped a bolt or nut into the intake??

maybe whatever was getting ground up by the turbine finally got small enough to get into the block and cause some major damage..Do you have any pics of your engine bay? I just wanna see what your piping looks\looked like...

 

[Spooled]

Damn, time for a new air filter. Looks like a rock got in there. That's a bad way to go. Sorry to see that.

Not only that, but those pieces of the turbine probably didn't help.

I remember the first kit i bought, i had to get a new turbo because the compressor wheel got fuct by a cheap HKS type filter, and the metal part of that filter fell apart, and flew into the compressor wheel, and then into the engine.
What baffles me is only one side of his wheel is messed up, the other side isn't...
