Dynoed the car... Video-Carnage

[E-Klips]

So on Saturday I took my car to a local shop that has an in ground dynojet setup. Real nice guy and pretty decent priced too. Anyways, put it on the dyno and I was running pig rich the first couple of runs. Finally got it tuned decent by bumping up boost and leaning it out, still running 11.2-11.5:1 on C16 trying to lean it out by getting more boost out of the turbo.

At first I was running 15psi just to get a decent setting on DSMlink. BTW: 1600cc injectors work perfect with DSMlink if anyone was wondering. Decided to bump the boost up to 25 after the first couple of pulls. Then to 30. Made the first pull at 30psi and BOOM! The turbo explodes. Made 438whp and 357ft/lbs Tq at 6500rpms. Never saw 30psi on my boost gauge. Hit 26 then it blew. I looked back at the DSMLink log and I was flowing about 47lbs/min and I hit 26psi by 6300rpm where it died. The turbo is rated at 85lbs/min so I still had a ways to go!

Here is a video of the carnage and the dyno graph. Note: Watch the car by the passenger headlight when the RPMs really start winding up. You can see everything shift and the car move about 1/2 a foot on the dyno when the turbo went. Pretty interesting if you ask me. Talked to the guy I got the turbo from for warrenty purposes and I will have a new one in my hands by the middle/end of next week. Hopefully this doesnt happen again. I have a feeling it was a defective part.

Ouch....poor turbo

Your car sounded like a fuckin jet in that video lol. Amazing shit man.

Wow! Did you do any damage to your internals. Any pices of the turbo go into the engine? What kind of turbo was that?

[blk_srt]

lucky all that metal didnt get in your motor. I didnt realize that you are fwd, what are you running for a tranny/clutch/lsd setup?

[Blackcrow64]

That sucks big time... What turbo was it?

[gthompson97]

Shitty deall. You'll be damn lucky if you didn't get shit inside the motor...with all those shards that came out when you tipped it upside down, I'd almost gurantee a bunch when inside the motor too.

I'm not FWD... Its called a VCE (viscous coupler eliminator) that allows you to dyno in FWD mode by just unbolting the transfer-case.

Nothing got past the intercooler. Plus I have a 3.5" GM maf and they use a fine mesh screen on 1 side of it, there was nothing stuck to it nor was there any damage done to it. No worrys at all.

The very reason I am not gonna remove the screening like everyone else does... Added safety.

[ez1286]

Well at least you didn't do any damage to the engine. Didn't you say the turbo was being replaced? Was it under waranty?

[Turbodog97]

hmmmmm.....reminds me of one of those ssautochrome turbos...haha. Nice run though.
