Engine blew at 140mph!

We go to import face off at Texas motorplex. I entered the forced induction pro class with all the supras and gtr’s. During qualifying Goldie ran a 10.4, then a 9.6. In the first round of eliminations my competitor didn’t show up, so I got a bye run. I sent it and spun bad, but stayed in it. Right at the finish line the engine layer over and changed sound, and a trail of thick smoke was in the ...
All aboard the struggle express!

Now that my turbo 2jz swapped 280zx is fixed, it needs a full race alignment to be track ready again. We discuss alignment, corner balance, ride height and rake adjustments, and more! And if you’re still reading this description please comment a thumbs up so I know if anyone reads all these descriptions.
I found the weak point….

So with the microsquirt youre wiring it in parallel to the stock ecu and essentially letting the stock ecu control everything accessory wise while letting the microsquirt control the tuning side of things like spark, fuel, timing, AFRs, and etc? really hope you see this lol
Where you at man?
@@adambriscoe02 I’m still out here doing the thing. I have a ton of video to go though, but mostly uneventful testing. I’ll be updating in the coming weeks for sure.
Do you have facebook account? I have some questions about nissan ZX 280 1983
@@saeed-sv5qs Instagram is the best way to reach @masterofmachines
Just got a 280zx with a turbo hood, thought of going ITB with it though!
You service other people’s car too or just your own?
Normally just my own. But if you’re local and flexible on time I might be able to take on something. Message my instagram @masterofmachines
Washing this video again I have a question You never change the 3 gear on that transmission I know it's a four gear ratio on it just wandering I have the same on my 82zx turbo
All the auto 280zx have a 3 speed auto, called JATCO 3N71B. In this video I have the stock transmission. Only modification is the torque converter.
Right on dude. Glad you stopped that engine before it had a window put in it. That rod was all sorts of wrong. My rule with a rod bearing failure has always been to replace the rod on the one that failed. They are almost never usable again unless resized.
Good to say that the L28 never give you that much problems 🤣🤣
That’s for sure!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏼
Man I’ve done the same things with the 4g63. I actually polish the crank with 600, 1000 then 2000 using a speaker wire to wrap it. I think you had some detonation that crushed that bearing. I would say that you might consider extra clearance bearings in the future. Glad you’re back to having fun with it regardless.
Great conclusion. Making what you have work! 🙌🏼
Hell yeah ! That surprise at the end was legit lol . What kinda boost and timing where you running on those runs !? She was flying . You need a draggy my friend
Around 23 psi and 18 degrees. I have a dragy but I’m so bad about starting it. With all the cameras, and data logs I have to start manually it just slips my mind most the time.
That's how it's done playa, I'm freaking pump for you,,,,, let's go
Back at the track, well done
Question, you didnt pull the cams due to the shavings ? wouldn't the shaving get in under the cam caps ? Also how did you flush the whole engine of the bearing material ?
The cams have to come out to pull the head. They were inspected as well as the saddles in the head where they ride. The only damage was #6 rod and crank. I also installed new oil pump gears and cover. I suspect the failure was caused by a tweaked rod, not contamination. The rods were used when I bought them.
Awesome! Glad you patched her back together and had some fun.
Do what you do best don't give up now after all that you have done, that part of Racing set a goal and stay there and enjoy all the way 🦾 🦾🦾
Keep your head up bro 💪
Dust yourself off and get back to it. Shit happens sometimes
You got this don’t give up
You got this. 😢 Don’t give up. I enjoy watching your videos. On the plus side You had a killer launch.🎉Let do it again.
Cry it out, you fixed your launch, saved the motor, do what you do and get that 5.90
😢
Sorry to hear this man! I really hope that you keep going, but I know it’s frustrating. This is my favorite RUclips page for cars because of your hard work and creativity. Whatever you decide you’ll still have my support! 🙏🏾
2jz never break
I'm really sorry this happened man. You absolutely did the right thing and you may have crashed had you run it again. Every "real" car guy and racer has been where you are right now. Taking a break, and concentrating on family can do you wonders and reset your outlook. If you damaged a piston, it may be time to spend money on good parts.
Damn man sorry to hear this. Main reason I’m switching from the 4 banger is for more reliability. You may just need to take a little break before diving into it again.
Sorry for your lost time and effort but you are living somebody’s dream right now and I hope you continue doing what you love. Like all things in life you have your ups and downs better luck next run and hope to see you back better than ever. Best of luck man
Such a bummer man…
Can you trigger the start fuel injector or does that happen auto due to crank?
You can adjust how many revolutions the ecm waits to start injecting fuel, but otherwise it will start injecting as soon as it sees a couple revolutions by default.
If you run all three cylinders off of a single signal won't there be three pulses per cycle on each cylinder? How to ensure none of that fuel goes out an exhaust stroke?
This engine control setup uses batch fire fuel injection, and wasted spark ignition. Batch fire means all 6 of the fuel injectors open and close together. You can program the megasquirt module to do as many squirts per revolution as you want, but because of injector latency you will find that only 1 or 2 fuel injection events per revolution is ideal. Fuel will never go in the cylinder during the exhaust stroke because it will be trapped above the intake valve. This is a tried and true method of fuel injection timing, and doesn’t have any noticeable affect of drivability. Wasted spark ignition refers to the use of 1 coil to fire 2 cylinders simultaneously. Both the cylinders on a given coil have to be “companion cylinders”, meaning they reach the top of the cylinder together. But 1 will be on the compression stroke while the other is on the exhaust stroke. So both will receive spark at the same moment from the same coil, but one cylinder will ignite fuel mixture and the other will spark harmlessly in the inert exhaust gasses, doing nothing. Hence the name “wasted spark” The megasquirt gets a single signal from the crank every 360°, and with that it can calculate engine timing very accurately. However, it won’t know whether a cylinder is on the compression stroke or the exhaust stroke, because both happen when the piston is coming up. This doesn’t matter because a wasted spark system spark’s during both of those events, and fuel is always sitting atop the intake valve waiting to get sucked in. A camshaft position sensor is needed if you want to run sequential fuel injection, or individual coils.
@@masterofmachines sounds good. I was thinking that it was direct injection. Thanks for your response. I am thinking of applying this kit to a 7M-GTE whose stock ECU is giving me code 14 troubles.
There is so many other things i want to trade my is (mainly swb chevy trucks) for but everytime i drive it im like im gonna hand this down to my kid
They are very cool cars!
In my imdustry (although im adumbass) inco82 is magic and welds anything to anything
Wait until you start wanting to go 4s!! Been trying for months to get past a 5.21 with my 4gfox. Sorry for all the different comments (good for your channel though).
Sheesh you’re going fast with that little engine! What trans?
@@masterofmachines it’s got a powerglide in the black car. I have a th400 in my truck that had went high 5s with the 4 banger, but I’ve recently switched to an LS as I kept cracking cylinders unfortunately.
@@masterofmachines if you get a chance, I’d love to talk to you about this combo over the phone. I’m in south Texas and will be coming up to Dallas this next year a bit more.
Been watching a bunch of your videos and commenting today. I’ve learned a ton about suspension the last year with this fox. I’ve gotten it to a 1.21 sixty with a 4 cylinder. Watching this video, I think you’re looking at it differently than you should. Realistically, you want the car to separate in the rear (looks like it does). What o would suggest is trying your adapt some fox front struts and get some DA units to slow the front. Also, I noticed that your trac loc looks like it might need new clutches or use a mini spool. Maybe these have been addressed since I’m a little behind on your videos. Great job with the car. I’m looking forward to your progress.
One good thing about the mounts to frame is you can drop the sun frame and pull pan.
Appreciate the info. I’m in the process of deciding which platform I’m switching to from my 4g63 in my fox mustang. 2j has always been in the mix and watching your videos has shown an economically effective way to go.
How much hp did you make with stock ge pistons?
Never dyno’d it. Probably 6-700 at the crank if I guessed.

how much timing where you running in boost ? and are you running gas or ethanol?
16° timing on e85

Sheeeesh🔥
Did you have logs from the run? Any info on what AFR’s were?
Ya I’ll go into the data log next vid. But the afr’s on the pass that went south were between 11.5 and 12
muriatic acid in a tooth brush will get ride of the aluminum
I saw one guy already comment about your comment “I’m almost out of gas”. I thought this is going to be bad! I’m sure your data logger shows if you went lean or not. I’m sure you will reflow your injectors. Looking at your pistons and rings I believe you had too small of ring gaps. I feel the pistons failed because the rings locked up in the bores. IDK what gap you had, but I would increase all of them a good amount. I’m an old school sbc nitrous guy but I run .024-.028 thousand on a 4” bore.
It didn’t go lean on the pass that it broke. You may be right, but fyi I had the top steel ring gapped to .019, and the second cast ring at .023. The piston is 86mm diameter. I got that spec by simply adding a few thousandths to the highest permisible ring gap for a factory turbo engine. Unopened turbo engines have been known to hold well over 800hp so I figured that’d be ok. Not certain though.
I would Def also check your injectors to make sure you didn't go lean
You're worried you'll run out of gas for the last run. That was likely the issue. It was running lean, got hot and melted the pistons
I’m literally always thinking I’m about to run out of gas. 😂 I’m getting rid of the tiny fuel cell for something bigger as I type this.
Guy says I'm ashamed to be next to these parachute GTRs and then goes and runs a 9.6 like it ain't shit 😂
I have some stock GTE Pistons you might be able to use. Let me know if you want them.
😮 I might just need those.
Muriatic acid will take that aluminum off the cylinder walls without damaging anything. It just makes the aluminum bubble and you can wipe it off. I do it all the time with 2 strokes. Wear gloves and safety glasses…
