cruising down the highway at 4k rpm at 90mph...the BANG, heard a bunch of stuff rattle around under the hood, and car dies. i pullover, look under the hood, and the block IS ON FIRE. luckily i had a fire extinguisher and put it out.
anyways, i got it towed home and took out the motor compltely by myself with only a few basic hand tools. heres what i found
basic hole in the block...look closely, youll see the big one, as well as a peice of rod #2 to the right of it poking out.
rod # 1 is COMPLETELY GONE
underneath the large hole, you can see a bit of connecting rod that got throw into the side of the block, seizing up piston # 2
probably the most torn up a rod can get........i actually take pleasure in knowing that atleast it looks THIS bad. it makes a good souvenir haha
honestly, theres about 40-50 peices of rod peices in the oil pan. heres some.
hmmmm wonder whats going in here THIS time....

damn that's pretty bad but you aint got $h!t on my buddy's old turboed honda d series motor. His was like your except there was 3 more holes and a missing piston. Good luck with the sr20 swap.
that happened for a reason.....................a reminder for you to get an sr20 now still sucks that it happened. My rings and ring lands are fried in the boosted accord

but you got to admit, a turbo ga 1.6 is pretty hot, and still a new/rare idea. i admire your effort to do something different. I peiced together a turbo kit before hotshot ever came out with theirs. sadly the project ran out of funding before i could put it on (had to quit my fulltime job for school, ran into a financial problem as well). sorry to see it go.
i wanted to be one of the few that dared to mess with the 1.6. i still would want to,but it costs too much damn money to keep going through motors like they are nothing. i hope the sr20 is all its cracked upto be!
