Blowing my TT'ed motor and swapping a new one back in
Cant say what did it except that ive run this car full blast since ive bought it... at around redline is when it blew This car has been well kept maintenance-wise, but has had its *** kicked on open track, dragstrips, autox, Denver area mountain passes and canyon runs... 1 piston basically exploded and the rod spun around breaking sht until it too came off the crank... the intake valves were intact ( i still need to disassemble the block)
The car was fully tuned and running e85 ( vial tested to about 83%) at the time. all fluids and ambient temps were good at the time.
I wasnt logging so i cant speak for other parameters. But, moving forward, I want more info, and having a fuel pressure visible at all times is a big factor.
I posted about an isolator that i was told to check out, so i should be doing that.
Another option is to use RC quad copter tech to video in my engine bay gauge... ( small camera with a wireless VTX and a control board. Then just transmit the feed to an arduino with a receiver and an arduino to power that side of it. Prob even swap out the car info screen for this one.
Im also in the process of putting the workshop12 braniac kit, so might be able to do the wireless video feed option straight to the tablet..
