Danny's 7th D turbo, *BEEN BROKEN*

[Piggy]

Shame about the news pal...dont give up though...its a sweet example

[procta]

Go big or go home IMO could do with forged rods but haven't decide what to do yet

just go big danny simple as, you want a car with power, you have the shell, so why not just go the full hog, rather than half throttle?

[Danny2009]

It was just down to money really I planned on rebuilding a spare engine up but didn't expect it to let go this quick!

sods law for you Dan, try having a engine die on you before your car has hardly moved on its own steam. at least you have had time to test and setup.

[Alee83]

[Danny2009]

Not sure what engine is going back in but what ever goes in needs a forged bottom end.

should be pulling the engine out today and strip it down see what the real damage is

[devils_fuel]

[Danny2009]

Is it me or does the cylinder nearest box always go? Gutted for ya lad but ul have it back on the road in no time still need to come up.soon

[Danny2009]

You do, may have it back on the road by then :p

Last time I spat a rod it was the other side of the block

Looks like the bolts/end caps gave way rather than the rods

Least this time it hasn't made so much mess last time all the car was covered in oil

Good effort on destroying the engine there, made a right mess!

Good excuse to build something a bit stronger up now ...

[karl1989]

I'm thinking of building one up for a back up. Got a spare d8a sat in my mates yard

[Danny2009]

I've got 2 spare one to chuck in to get it on the road then build the other up with more bollocks

[CJ_Derv]

Mmm, sexy engine. Like the paint work too! Makes all the difference.
