80tq: Blown Engine

[Alan Pritchard]

Unlucky Javad. At least it didn't lock you up mid twisties.... And sounds
relatively minimal at this stage. Not one of these conrod through block
issues.
Sounds more like it, my friend's evo 6 doesn't like it above 1400. Tends to
keep it set up between 1100-1200. After all it is a road car.

Sorry to hear that Javad, that's one way to really
screw up your weekend.  As far as the EGT's go, 1000 C
after the turbine is retarded!  When I was at the dyno
I was hitting about the same temp near redline, but 6"
away from the valve.  I actually dropped the fuel
mixture down into the 11's at that level to keep
things closer to 1700 degree's F.

Later,
