UPDATE: ENGINE IS FINE. ONLY THE FLYWHEEL HOUSING WAS BROKEN. NEW THREAD HERE:http://www.nagtroc.org/forums/index.php?sh...r>* Video AddedWe found the limits of the GT-R's transmission and now we're working on finding the limits of the engine.Nitrous is dangerous, kids. :)We probably had the world's first 'fire out of all 4 exhaust tips' launch and the engine blew.
Not exactly the way I wanted to end the night.Here's The Video...* Sorry for the crappy quality. Apparently the camera captured some poor footage due to low light. This post has been edited by JohnTurbo: Apr 17 2009, 07:19 PM -------------------- 2010 White GT-R

Your crazy John!
Do I predict the first nagtroc GT-R with all forged internals? Maybe this is a good thing, now you can build a motor that can handle 1000hp, purpose build for drag racing and find the limits of that new gear set.

I'll post the explosion-in-all-it's-glory video later. Just for kicks you should take the car (as it is) to your nearest Nissan dealer and demand Warranty servicing. |

OMG!!!!!!
 That royally bites a pretty big one. Trying to look at the positive side...at least you can go ahead and jump in to some forged hardware and sleeves. BIG HP is in the VERY near future for Samurai Speed!!!!!!!

 I totally forgot I was supposed to meet some people at the track tonight until I just saw a post about this on another site. Sorry to hear about the car. Hopefully you will have it rebuilt better and faster in no time.

QUOTE (JohnTurbo @ Apr 15 2009, 10:03 PM) We found the limits of the GT-R's transmission and now we've found the limits of the engine. With all due respect, I don't think this is a very accurate statement. As you know, nitrous has many variables to consider during it's application that pure air/boost do not. I would guess that your Air fuel ratios, for some reason, were way out of wack and you put a hole in a piston. Of course I wasn't there to see the bang but the fact that tuners are making more HP than your set up and haven't blown an engine around a road course would lead me to think that the NOS set up alone was the culperate. (Unless you twisted the crank from the TQ at launch, which I doubt) no malice, I just don't believe that your statement "found the limits of the engine" is entirely accurate given the circumstances. Peace out

Hopefully you don't have to buy a whole new block. Get back soon with annother record... Someone might beat your current one but I bet, u will surely surpass it.
