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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
