Wow, that’s a lot of heat concentrated there - it was the only logical explanation I could think of for the bolt seizing too.

Turbos put together with stock wastegate. Literally nothing wrong with it. Cleaned out oil passages, no metal debris at all so guess I got lucky. It'll go out for sale. Hopefully I can get something for it.

Alright so I'm gonna leave this up to a vote. Entire front of car is off, turbo and exhaust are disconnected, engines still mounted in. Do you guys want me to work from intake, head and block? Or do you guys not care. If you do I'll take pictures of internal damage or if you guys don't care I'll just disconnect the axles from tranny and just remove engine.

I can’t speak for everyone but, you’ve done a great job documenting so far. I think intake -> block with pictures would be helpful. Great progress already.

Anyone had experience taking this pulley out? I think it's the water pump. That bolt is maxed out and hitting pulley. The plastic piece I need to get off is the cam cover to remove the cams.

Do you know anyone else out there running those blue or red top engines and what numbers they give out?

No I don't. The website claims red tops are capable of 350 go safely and blue tops are capable of 450 safely. Other than that I'm not sure.

I bought the race short motor from them, which was supposed to take any abuse I can give it, at least 400+hp and 8000 RPM rev limit. I gave it 310hp and 7200 RPM and it threw a rod after 5km...so in addition to the block being a pile of scrap metal now, I also have to repair the head, rebuild the turbo, fit a new Titan drysump pump, new oil pump, new oil cooler etc.

Quite an expensive incident, wouldn't want anyone else to run into a similar one, still waiting for any reasonable answers from Pumaspeed...

PEC H-beams. But the beams can take it, problem is bearing/clearance/oil related, as other big ends are still in one piece but have serious marks of wear and would have also failed very early. I also have previously ordered another set of new PEC rods+ACL Race bearings and when directly installing them to the engine, the oil clearance is too small for high hp application. It seems the built-up short motor was also assembled without making any changes to the crank journals to achieve proper clearances. I would suggest you check yours with Plastigauge when the engine arrives.

What oil you plan to use?
