Yup!!!

Blew the Turbo CS Engine up on the way back from Toronto this weekend..... :icon_rolleyes:

Saturday afternoon i was at the Snowmobile and ATV show and the engine started to knock and what sounded a bit like a lifter sticking.

anyway it got worse and worse and i was 500 kms from home and needed to get home today so i drove it and it got really loud.

about 100 kms from home the engine went boom and quit and polluted the road with engine oil  :laugh:

I think its a connecting rod through the block but i have not looked to hard at it since they rolled it off the tow truck.

Dunno what I'm gonna do with this thing now.......it maybe a parts car as I'm pretty pissed off.

anyway its done for till i decide what im gonna do with it.

:icon_evil:

NO WAY! :icon_eek:

WTF!!!  my lifters are noisy as hell. were yours before that?

No sign of any problems before......no noise just turbo swooshing the loudassed Magnaflows.

I have not looked at it indepth yet so i can't say what exactally happened but my dipstick is all smashed up too  :laugh: took my buddy Mike quite the skill to get it out  :icon_rolleyes:

ahhhh well im not gonna get bent out of shape about it but this may seal this things fate as lately im kinda losing intrest in it.

Oh man sorry to hear that. Keep us updated as to what happened.  Shitty deal Dave.

SHIT!!! That really sucks Dave. Hope you decide to fix it. Sounds like a good winter project to me. Sorry to hear about it.

Sorry to hear that, Dave, that was a gorgeous car. Hope you fix her up!

Damn Dave sure sorry to here that. You have put alot of work in that car. Maybe it's time for a 3400. Sure hope you didn't hurt the pistons. :icon_rolleyes:

Hang in there and fix it, it's like a new car. Except for the motor. You will be lost without it to work on and you wont have anything to talk about if you part it out. Please don't. :icon_sad:

:werd: x3

i have a complete 3400 topend in my garage i'd love to get rid of if you were to consider a hybrid, but i'd rather just go full on 3400 myself.  you could easily find a good running low mileage LA1 for cheap.

Thanks guys for the encouragement to fix the damn thing.....i kinda needed that at this point  :icon_neutral:

most likely i will start ripping it apart tomorrow just to see the cause and further effect... :icon_rolleyes:


I really dunno yet im very discouraged and at least its more or less the end of the season for it so i have the winter to take my time and do repairs.

a few more tasks to do on it aswell when i have the engine back out too, still gotta fix my cradle thats rusted to F**k also and get SOMETHING ELSE to lower the rear and get that metal leaf OUT!!!

thanks again guys  :icon_redface: your good friends

Dave

 :cheers:

:( dave i feel for ya.

didnt you have the motor completely redone before you put it in?

aslo - on a side not did it have anything to do with an expermental tune/ boost do you think

Ya Jeff it WAS fully rebuilt before it went in so im intrested to see what failed..

lately i have just been running the mild tune for it especially when im traveling (gas milage is better) if i need the GO GO i can just hit the GO GO button on my steering wheel which activates the MBC.

just tooling around and not driving aggressive at all and that tick tick started and my buddy Mike who was with me is a Mechanic figured it was a lifter also untill it got worse and worse.

but it was a experiance when it blew.......so loud and i was doing about 100 kmph and it changed sounds for maybe a few seconds and im like "OH F**K" and then it let go and shut off.

i was able to hit the clutch and coast to the curb safely.

called the auto club and they were there in 45 mins (it was sunday afterall)
