Re: Bad day for this talon
Wow that sucks big time. Do you know if it was just built and how many miles he had on it before that happened?

Re: Bad day for this talon
Bad times.
Really, really bad times. Putting the car on dyno, like taking it to the track, puts it under more wear and tear than you're giving it on a daily basis. Some of the guys at the shop were tools. Yeah, an f-body is a real car

Re: Bad day for this talon
actually he went there to see how much power it would take before it blew up. He has a race motor going in or something, and wanted to have some fun. He didn't have a chance to run it with nitrous though, the car went lean as you can see from the dyno for some reason.

Re: Bad day for this talon
My friend Shawn had his 14b setup on his neon for a while before he built the engine. One day he went out to go to work and had a rod knocking. He said he needed a reason to rebuild it anyway to he revved it a couple times in his driveway and threw a rod out the side of the block. I saw the remains, it was fucked up. Definately went harder than he thought. IIRC, the rod snapped at the top by the piston and went out the side while the piston smacked the head. The two biggest pieces of the piston he found were a little bigger than the size of a quarter. Completely fucked block and head.
EDIT: What a fucking moron! An F-body is a real car. Mmmmm hmmmm  . No offense to any F-body guys, but I dont think ~450hp is exactly a toy especially from Honda boy over there. Man that sucks. At least we know that the stock 7 bolt can take that much power. I still dont know why they would do that to a perfectly good engine, but whatever floats their boat. I kinda got a kick out of the oil puddle on the floor though.
