wasn't going to read through 19 pages to see, if i made the cut for blown engines.
I can account for two FA20s going to pieces. One at 14psi and the other one at 10psi. Both condensed their rods into nothingness, broke them, and hammered their way out the block. Based on my observation, these engines are not designed for the boost, period. Not lets run less boost, your tune was garbage, you got bad gas, your girlfriend was in the car, etc. They aren't designed for it. If you want to do it right, build it. Forged this and forged that. Or you can weigh the options, you pop your engine, it catches fire, and your fr-s / brz burns to the ground. Even if it doesn't, you're out of $3000. Buy a new engine instead, and that's $5000 or more. Take it from me, GO BUILT, then GO BLOWN ! |

This engine was actually designed for boost. The pistons were not. The rods are plenty strong.

You sir are so wrong its funny. 2 engines, several condensed rods. Twisted, broken in half, rattling in my oil pan, and coming up through my block. I can speak from my experiences that the rods failed twice in a row.

I have a feeling the answer to this will be very revealing.

Who tuned the car and do you intend to let them blow your forged motor as well?

I suspect a garbage tune, and your girlfriend was probably in the car. |

Rods are plenty strong it's the pistons that break. I've seen astronomical hp made on stock rods with good pistons.

So is it usually a melted piston that takes the rod with it? I've seen some builders swap out rods and not pistons, claiming that the stock pistons are just fine. When I decide to bump the power up and get forged internals I planned on dropping new pistons in either way, since I'll already have the bottom end apart and pistons really aren't that expensive in the grand scheme of things.

Stock pistons are very very thin at the wrist pin and not fully boxxed. An over rev alone can pull the wrist pin out of the bottom of them. Stock rods are strong.

My tunes were provided by FA20Club and Visconti. (Whether one of these tuners or both is garbage is possible)
I don't think the pistons were the issue on my failures, though i can report, i have looked through my initial engine's teardown photos to find one piston had melted down. The second engine though had sound pistons, and wavy and snapped rods. I've got chunks of block that i keep in a baggy on my desk as a reminder. Gotta beat myself up sometimes. 1 for the rods ----- 1 for the pistons For the guy who said my GF was in the car, my wife actually was during one of the runs. The hilarity that ensued after a dinner and night out, followed by a highway pull between exits, and ended with the thorn in her side exploding was glorious for one of us. Not trying to start a war here, just delivering my two cents based on two junk engines. I'm technically on my fourth FA20 now, between 2 FR-S's. Last edited by killerkid08; 05-29-2015 at 07:25 PM. |
