It was my own fault the engine died but I was having trouble with injector staging setting. I should have not run the car but I can't stand missing a chance to drive the car. I don't drive the car that much so I had to run it.

Is a backyard rebuild on the menu?

 

Doh, sorry to hear that ... I like the way you were moving tho!

 

ouch, that sucks. You were still moving pretty good tho, even after it went pop. What sort of #'s were you putting down?

 

I have no idea what it was making for hp. It was a backyard rebuild just expert jobpro pointed out. It was my fault it broke was not fully tune, high rpm and seal were not set in yet. The housing I used had a small were mark from the old corner seals and new seal left a small hole there. So I think there was to pressure there with no housing support. There very tip of the seal were it meats the corner piece is what broke.

 

Judging by the fact its already apart when is it going back together?

Hopefully too much isn't broke, have you got a list of what needs replacing?

 

Engine is already rebuilt I have lots of spare parts. I only had to buy 2 apex seals. Change one housing. I was running NA rotor before so I swichted back to tII ones. Now I will have to break in the engine again. But I will put more than 500km before I start smashing on it. It will be very hard to do. If I drove the car everyday it would be easier but I only drive the car for events.

 

Take it for a highway run!

And 500kms? I left mine for 1000 with brandnew housings seals etc etc, I was told 500 would have been fine if I didn't change the rotor and stat bearings

But everyone I asked said if you use used parts give it LOTS more like 2000-3000
