Engine blown at Thunderhill on Sunday
I don't know the exact cause yet but I can tell you internal pieces of the engine are now external pieces. My oil temps and level were perfectly fine with oil never exceeding 230-235 and oil level right at the high mark when I checked it before the session. Starting this thread to ask for suggestions on possible avenues to take from here.
Keeping the Z, replacing the motor. What to replace it with? My 1st thought is to buy a lightly used VQ37VHR and have someone such as Valkryie Autosport prep it properly for track duty and ~450Hp, NA with a dry sump and replace my oem (80k mi) clutch and flywheel at the same time. I'd like to keep total cost under 10k, though under 7.5k would be ideal. Ideas? Last edited by ValidusVentus; 03-23-2015 at 10:57 PM. |
