Just Blew The Engine Up!

[nonliberal]

Oh yeah, just snapping is possible. The exhaust stroke coupled by rpm with no back pressure can be VERY hard on rods.

Would be interesting to see the number of stock internal failures (not tune related) with LTs vs stock exhaust manifolds. Seems like some back pressure would help keep a rod from snapping.

Also talked to Bob Stiegemeier today. He said the blower doesn't look that bad. Hone the case, fill in the rotors & smooth back out, complete repair & rebuild $700. Not bad, better than buying new head unit anyways. He said the case to rotor clearance is tight & will rub when you spin it up to 18-19k. So honing the case is a good thing when spinning it to max or over. He said I might loose about .5lb of boost if any at all with the repair.

maybe a tune under 600hp would help on the rods snapping.these engines are good but not bulletproof

Zach- are you running torco or E85 with that pulley?

No. Just shell 93. The closest e85 place is 45 min away.

Stiegemeier knows his stuff i'd trust him on any Eaton blower buddy of mine had his blower ported for his GT500 had good results. He can take a TVS and get results like Vmp with the port work.

Yep, if anyone can rebuild it right he can. It's going to get a port job, venom cooler & snakebite gear drive while its there.

 

[JP0814GT]

That's what I'd do! Atleast your able to salvage the TVS and it a + that in the end you will have some additional gains with him doing the work. And save some $ compared to sending to ROUSH.

Are all the pistons and rods shot ?
If not just buy replacements for the bad ones and buy a motor for a F150 off eBay for 3k .. Stuff your parts in that engine . Might be the cheapest way
