2 weeks of pure bad luck
8 Attachment(s)
So where do I start..
Over the last 2 years I have been building my blob sti bit by bit doing all the work myself and saving what I can and putting it into the car.. finally 2 weeks ago I finished it. Got car on the road did about 20 miles and boom turbo went smoke covering the road, got car back to garage and took turbo off the car and half a litre of oil in the turbine! Anyway so sent turbo back to supplier and got it back the week after all sorted.. fitted it back to the car, started it up and no smoke running like a dream! Really happy loving it! Got the car to the local valeting company for a 2 stage buff and it looked awesome! That night was out in the car not driving it to hard car still on low boost 1.4 bar 400/400 on a fully forged 2.0 with spec c heads.. not pushing it At all! Bang bottom end went.. managed to limp the car home and put it back in the garage.. to say I'm gutted is a absolute understatement 😕.. But at least it looks well..

id get it stripped down and find out what has failed and see who if anyone is too blame as something serious has obviously gone wrong

Bottom end has completely gone knocking it's nuts off! Car was running and boosting great. Like I said only on low boost so not even pushing it. Had my standard 2.0 at 460/420 for 2 years no problem at all

so either engine builder or mapper is to blame unless you can pinpoint another issue that caused the failure.

So a freshly built properly mapped motor let's go after just 97 miles ???

Shame to here, these cars can be very testing at times. I remember my old blob when I'd finished building it, took it over to the ring and straight off in to a barrier on the 2nd lap. Hit some oil put down by a 944. Thankfully most things can be fixed and once back in the UK I had it stripped down and rebuilt.

When you say "mapper ran it in", did you lend him your car for a while then ?? |
