Dunno whats inside the motor, won't know untill its torn down. I'll probably pull the turbo off today and see if it got damaged

 

that sucks.....sorry to hear that



so you are going to rebuild it yourself?

I guess i'll see ya over there then....i'll be in dallas in mid-february to pull mine out and fix a seal that blew as well.



mine is the rear though and it sounds somewhat uniform with a spark plug out turning it over like you did, but i can see a peak in the boost gauge instead of 3 even pulses - i think mine is just cracked - it would still idle, but only getting 10in vacuum. I caught it pretty quick b/c it blew near my house and i didnt have to use the gas much to get it home.

 

ihor i have an engine for sale only $2000

 

I'll rebuild it myself if KDR doesn't warranty it, hopefully they will.

 

just say no to 3mm seals..... :smirk:

 

ihor told me last night and its such a sad thing to hear when someone blows their motor, especially since i know how much time and money ihor put into his car.

 

If it makes you feel better I blew my turbo on monday. I was at 6k rpms and @ 15lbs of boost when it went. Then I noticed my oil cooler line had a leak.

 

HEHE, sucks. I'm pulling the turbo off right now. Dave emailed me and said to pull the motor and he will tear it down right away. Thinks it was a stationary or rotor gear. Hopefully I didn't break it inside too badly.

 

if you want to borrow my engine hoist come get it !

 

Ill let you know if I need it. Why don't you come over on Sunday and help?
