Loren at 911 Design in Montclair Cali has disassembled my engine. Not much is still usable. Loren says, he's not see a street engine more torn up than this one. He says, it looks like a track engine that went BOOM! There is too many pics to post here, so I started an photo album here under: Catastrophic engine carnage Enjoy the pics...

Thanks Chuck... you have magic fingers! I didn't know how too do that!

 

my eyes! what exactly was the cause of all the carnage?

 

Hey Rick, man you really know how to blow an engine to pieces!!! WOW, i never seen a 996tt motor blow up that bad....EVER! Amazing....

 

Did you know what you did to achieve such carnage? I have had worse, like chunks of block come flying out from under my truck, but not as expensive and big a job as this!!!

 

I seen worse from a 996 car that got water locked from the coolant in the ignition chambers.

What is the final word from this autopsy? What was the cause?

 

That motor is a total loss. The rod(s) didn't just bend ......... they broke.

 

wow that's not something you see everyday;( What happened and what led to that

 

heres mine!!

Do we finally know the reason for that?

 

The word is over boost! It was soooo... weird! I installed my K24/18g's, my 5 FPR, & Greddy ProFec B kit from Titan. I was on my test drive as I backed out of the garage and the EBC wasn't working, so I shut the power off to it. I did a total of 5 pulls, each one being more intense than the other. The fifth pull was from an idle roll. The car pulled VERY hard until it shifted (tiptronic) and the the motor just shut off and the dash lit up and said "no oil pressure." I coasted to the side of the road and called a roll back wrecker.

In hind sight I no Idea what amount of boost I was running because I was too busy watching the road when it went BOOM! Have you ever had a gut feeling... and didn't act on it only too find your gut was right as you delt with the carnage... well this was one of those times! I had a bad feeling about the EBC and if it didn't directly cause this... it did indirectly by removing the safety of the factory boost solenoid. I know that statement will cause a debate... but I will NEVER again use an EBC on anything I own! And I will encourage others to do the same! My car has 1 bar waste gates on the K24/18g's and I tend to concur with Dan at Vivid who has repeatedly said you don't need an EBC with them!
