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

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
