naviathan Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Thought this was interesting. It didn't even sound like he got to full rev before it blew. Sounds like a crappy build to me... http://www.break.com/index/80_thousand_dollar_engine_blown.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnjdragracing Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Yeah Dynos can be rough on engines, rather it break on the Dyno than on the track. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy 77zt Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 2 years ago i spent the day at westech in socal with a friend watching his new bbc boat engine get dynoed.steve(the dyno operator)had many great stories to tell about dyno failures.even showed us a dent in the dyno room door.i am not in that kind of income tax bracket to have my engines dynoed but being a gearhead i always wanted to check out a good day of dyno work.after that i figured out that a mega-dollar engine should probably have a dyno day before install-you will make back the money spent on the dyno in savings by not blowing up the new motor trying to run wfo on a poor tune.plus the days of work and downtime .

RB26powered74zcar Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 That wasn't necessarily a blown motor.... That same thing happened to me one time on the dyno. It was a I/C hose that blew off and looked/ sounded just like that did.... Lets hope that was the case with that car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think an IC hose would make that much noise coming off, but lets hopes for that guys sake you're right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naviathan Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Haha, the guy doesn't even jump. lol, I noticed that too. The dyno operator didn't jump he just casually looks over at the car as if to say, "All in a days work". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-hag Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 some of our race motors used to blow on dyno--depended on who did the rebuild.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
