Define “blew out”

 

Was driving home from work, turned onto my street, had 0 power on acceleration.  Engine "shook" got power back, but there was so much smoke blowing out the exhaust that I looked like I was doing the sickest burnout ever.

When I pulled into my driveway the idle was terrible the engine was shaking, I turned her off, tried to start her again and she wouldn't.

she spent 2 days at C-Red and they told me that 2 cylinders lost compression, the oil line to the turbo split and the turbo blew up too, and the head gasket went as well. 

While they were looking at her she seized up completely.

Bummer. Part out or fix? At least it made it home for you.

Sounds like the oil line blew and it ran without oil pressure

What turbo does it have?

What’s the plan?

Stock Turbo. It was just an old, high KM Engine, remember the car was parked up in a Trucking yard with no Rego for years and had a very questionable past.

 

So now I'm looking for a new engine which, these engine are stupidly expensive, and I'm going to sell my old engine to anyone who'll take it for maybe $500...

*joins the queue for a 20 year old seized nissan import engine with dubious history and blown turbo*
 
I was told there would be cake?


Wait. There was supposed to be cake? I never got any cake when my 25 ate it's bearings. I feel ripped off.

    • 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.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • 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
