antil33t 90 Report post Posted March 8, 2010 I liked the quote "my parents are gonna be so pissed" He must have done something really dumb to blow the shite out of a 4G63. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted March 8, 2010 how the hell did that happen?? i didnt hear a BOV, so how'd he blow his engine lol Did you not hear it sitting on the limiter before he launched? I bet he did that several times a day, every day. The limiter is there to protect your engine, but it's not designed to live on it. I'd say that the motor was getting well on for wear and a big end or piston pin or similar went, and the rest is history. Lesson: Don't thrash your cars kids. Only the 327-eater likes to live on the limiter! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Took it for a skid on gravel with new oil and water and only lasted 60 seconds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 35 Report post Posted March 8, 2010 Yep. "Keep it on the limiter - that way you can't over-rev it" Still gold a couple of years on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2010 that is exactly what my old m20 motor looked like, even the piston was the same, but my rod was bent much more than that. even had the bits of wrist pin circlip stuck in piston like that, lol http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....;hl=sydwayz+e30 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
