The skirts are taperd and sometimes also barrel ground. The head of the piston, just above and below the ring pack area is round. It is up to .050 smaller then the skirts. Because of the heat at the top of the piston they need to be smaller.

Yeah ditto on what i was saying.. you just said it 10 times better.

Looks like there was too much clearance, the rings were consequently not seated far in the grooves, they then bound with the cylinder walls and snap! Broken piston lips. Dang, I feel sorry for you man, that was an expensive build.
...

How can you tell this from those photos?

If that was the case he would have had the loudest engine ever built. Two, he would have had been smoking from the blow by, cause from the rings not seating. He would have also had very low power because all of the boost would be going into the oilpan.

Yeah, formulas are fun. Unfortunatly, they're all based on absolute constants and ideal conditions, so they're usually not dead on.

Turfburn, I will take your word for it because you know a heluvalot more about this stuff than I do. It doesn't make any sense though. I mean if a v-8 and an I-4 both make 100 hp at 3000 rpms, they would both have the same torque output? I just dont get it. If it's that absolute, then why is there a difference in the torque between a root's type and a centrifigul supercharger at the same hp?

The reason on the roots versus centrifugal is dependent on how much parasitic losses they generate to the motor but they should have the same torque/horsepower at the wheels regardless, but any motor making 100 horse at a given rpm will make a given amount of torque... I'd be curious to see a graph or whatever proving the roots versus centrifugal difference you are pointing out.

100%, thats why they failed. Now the questions is why did it detonate? Need to see the tune map.

The picture for cylinder 1 shows plenty of signs of possible detonation... or just horrible heat regardles... the question I have is why the other 3 cylinders don't seem to show any signs of it at all and are cracked exactly the same as well... that's why I'm wondering if his rings butted and then bound up and the piston slammed down on it and cracked... then because of the angle the rod would be at it pulled it toward that one side and that's why they all cracked down taht same edge.

HP is not a measured value. Torque is a force that is measured and RPM is a value that is measured, and HP is something that is calculated from torque and RPM.

Yes, they are both putting out the same torque at that RPM. That doesn't mean the V-8 has the same torque #s everywhere.

It wasn't that you didn't know the formula, but you tried to make the guy who put it up look like an idiot. Why would you do that even if he was wrong?

Couldn't really tell ya. I guess people did it to me when I was a newbie? Maybe I'm just pissed off at life in general.

Anyway, sorry I tried to make you look like a jackass dude. I should have been a lot more conservative in my response, clearly. Thanks for the education guys.

Yes it does seem that this is the case. You should get help for this. Then your outlook on life and the way you act around people would be better.
 
Two things:

blkZoomZoom, have you checked injector #1 yet? I wonder if an injector failure caused that nasty detonation pocking in the cyl. #1.

Also, did anyone notice that the head held together find at those huge RPMs for a sustained amount of time? I don't know about you, but I'm pleasently surprised that it didn't float the valves and smash itself to pieces. I figured that would be the first thing to go if over-revving was the killing factor.

LOL. Nick :D.

We've all done it at some point... I know I've snapped on Dana before and been a complete ass... and one other guy managed to REALLY get to me, which is impressive in itself LOL. but yeah... moving on... BZoom has a blown motor and we want to figure it out! :)

(mswerd)

Lord knows I need help in that department, especially on the internet, where people arent real.
 
We should have a therapy section.

So Nick, you think detonation killed the pistons? I honestly don't know what the a/f were but I can tell you I put them to the point that it chugged and backed it off till it didn't. On top of that, this motor has never seen anything less than a 60/40 mix of 107 octane and 89-93 octane. Every week I put in at least 5gallons of 107 at the track. I then would put like 3-4gallons of normal gas and it would last me to the next week.

Crack is bad, mmk?

According to this formula, a Civic making 150 hp at 4000 rpms is making 196 lb-ft? In a honda motor? at 4000 RPMs? bulls***!

This forumla is ******* idiotic and you should be banned for even thinking about posting it here.


You really should think before you speak. Show me a NA Civic that makes 150hp at 4k, hell you will be lucky to fine a turbo one. An Accord V6 only makes 135hp at 4k rpm.
 
um.....i believe he has been corrected & appologized for this...no need to drag it along...focus on the topic at hand.

Apology excepted.

I've tried like 20 times to upload the map... heres one more try....

It may have been that you leaned out. What is the stock rev limit on your car? It looks like you have the extra injector set to run to high in the rpms.
How much boost, what kind of fuel, what kind of intercooler, what were the arfs on the dyno?

Why do you say that the injector is set yo run too high in the rpms? Wouldn't it be bad to cut fuel to the injector when you are revving that high (by accident of course)?

99 times out of 100 he has it coming.(lol)

You two get along so well I know LOL :).

Anyway...

I'm wondering if it WAS the rev's that killed it or detonation got it.. if it revv'ed up past that stock fuel cut/rev limit and the (extra?) injectors were dumping in per the MPI it would have gone lean and kept getting leaner as the rev's went up... then detonation would be highly prevalent.... But as I said before, Nick do you see detonation signs other than on piston 1? The others look clean... one picture I thought I saw a couple tiny little signs of it possibly, but that doesn't explain the other two shattered pistons... I would think the CP pistons could handle a fair bit more abuse than that... the race teams said the melted holes through the pistons before they actually had issues as far as strength with detonation and hot burns.

Cutting ALL fuel is what you want to do... and that is how you rev-limit a car. Cutting spark is dangerous as dumping in raw fuel can cause washing and pre-ignition and detonation as well.
