I snapped a connecting rod when I hit the rev limiter. I don't know why that happened since the rev limiter was set as stock. So.... now I'm off for a built shortblock. Any suggestions? My power goal with the forged motor will be 475 rwhp. Can the TN turbo plus larger injectors and a tune make that power?

Anyone selling shortblocks that will meet my needs?

But he needs a new block too. Just try Todd as suggested previously. He probably has one in stock ready to go.

 

Sorry about the failure. It will be tough to get 475 you will probably fall a little short probably more around 450

 

Sorry to hear about the motor. Todd is great contact, with great knowledge as well.

Did you hit the rev limiter often?

 

Yea but were did the rod go through the bottom end or the heads. But yea in a way just try todd. I saw it just thought it was perfect for what he needed. Becouse this guy has the bareblock he can just sell his heads

 

Could also give Sharif @ Forged a call. He is now in Marietta GA and has engine packages. Sorry to hear the news.

 

damn man, that sucks, lots of that happening lately. i basically live at my rev limit, i dance on it all day, guess im just lucky.


that guy in the thread posted has everything for sale including a brand new nissan block, pretty good price too 2700.

 

Well if you see a rod go through the heads take a picture that would be one heck of a failure.

 

sorry to hear about the blown motor

how many miles were on the engine with and without the turbo kit?

doesn't TN make a bigger turbo you can put on to make more than 475whp?

 

How much HP werer you making at the time of failure?

 

Wow that sucks man. You had a nice setup as safe as it could get. Good luck with the build.

 

If I remember correctly he was running the st kit with a UTEC/fuel return/larger injectors with tial wastegate/external dump. I think CPRacing tuned him to around 400-410whp. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sorry to hear about your motor...

 

I dont know im just asking GUS.

 

We're in the dead of summer, and you live in FL...

How hot was it outside when you had the failure?

Sorry to hear about your motor.
