Ok guys i have a big problem. during a bluff on the street by a turbocharged honda civic type r, i launched big (about 9.5k) and the car took off like a rocket, powershifted 1st, 2nd 3rd en then it came. a awefull sound form the engine bay. and the revs rocketed up. i stopped the car immedieatly, killed it and went to inspect and found out that the flywheel basicly blew up. the underside of the bellhousing wi complely smashed. sounded like a bomb wnet off in there. please give me a honest opinion of what kinda damage to expect when i pull the engine out. i do have another gearbox at home with stock GTR 33 internals. is there a chance my OS GIKEN cross mission gearset is smashed, or that i have cranck damage, or worse that somthing in my engine got shot. please i need your help, should i strip the engine and the gearbox and have them checked for damage, or should i just replace the flywheel and clutch, cus the part that bolts onto the cranck stuck on and the screws seem to loosen.

dude it could have happned to me while i was on the track. any how we pulled the motor apart a hour ago and the news is positif. there is no damage whatsoever in the engine. clearances checked out correctly. clean as a whisle. the gearbox got a nasty gash in the bellhousing, but the internals are fine. ill have the internals xrayed tomorrow to check for things you cant see. but its looking good so far, my new clutch was waiting to go on anyway. changing the housings tomorrow. want to get it back on the road. And dont streetrace, that pice of flywheel that shot out made a 15cm hole in the asphalt and it can freely break through the fire wall and kill you. streetracign is bad and illegal even in my lawless country

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
