That sucks big time but now I know what to keep an eye out for next year when I begin my turbo build.
you have our respect brother!
Damn man that is a shame . I am sure u are rebuilding i suggest u go forged pistons this time or just drop the m3 1.6 piston in. I am guessing here but u left the COmpression ratio the same as OEM with the blown engine ?Today I dropped the engine and tear it apart.
The broken rod(last in the picture) is the 3rd cylinder and and the bended one(3rd in the picture) is from the 4th cylinder.
I found many bits from the broken piston tou all the other cylinders.(in the picture I've cleaned them)
Yes, stock cr, but the pistons were fine. the broken connecting rod smashed the piston of the 3rd cylinder. The cr had nothing to do with the boom.
