I love how Jamie just wants to solve the problem.he saw it blow up then immediately went to trying to diagnose what happened. that’s a good group of dudes.
True boostedbois don’t buy parts for reliability / insurance… Still waiting on that fire suppression system, Kyle shouldn’t risk becoming another Niki Lauda
how many passes did you have on those rods? I know most alu rod guys openly talk about replacing the rods every XX passes for cheap insurance. Sorry to see that happened.
@@pyrocl0rotaries rarely fail or stop at high rpm, especially under low load. typically rotaries just won’t start again once they’re hurt. Aviation or ‘Unbreakable’ seals help alot, I’ve seen rotaries with bent/folded apex seals still start with a little help, reduces potential of damaged housings too.
Would have been smarter to pull the current Mr2 engine put it in something else at 1k horsepower and put the billet in it now you have to do the billet anyway and the old engine and heads are trash
I'm thinking a regiment after 20 hard passes replace the rods and bearings with 40 plus pounds of boost your putting twice what a bigger engine experiences
@@dakr3464 Not every 10 but you really should do it quite often when pushing that amount of power from such a small engine. Aluminum rods are considered consumables and should be changed after a certain amount of passes.
@dak r34 again at those levels they should be checking the rods and bearings around 5 or 6 passes. he's pushing 60psi of boost. there are limits to these parts. a bullet block isn't going to stop rods from breaking. if he had a bullet block then. it would've just got destroyed
Everything happens for a reason. This is your calling to go bigger and faster. What you have done so far with this little car is remarkable. Would love for you guys to come to the UK at some point so we can show you our car culture.
I'm from the UK and I'd be embarrassed to show them our car culture, literally Asda car park full of ST fiestas that are stage 13, and Audi S3's on finance, and there's always one girl who's slept with every guy in the group who's sponsored by emerald struts and has a personal reg on finance 😂
@@ethangee96 That’s a fair point. It’s a shame. You will know yourself at these meets we go to there are a few real fanatics with some real bits of kit though. I think what makes the difference over here is the fact that our insurance and road tax is so high. I think something like halfway would be more fitting for Kyle. And we do have plenty of high powered Hondas to be fair.
@@ieuanedwards3485 we do have some fast hondas here, mines definitely not one of them 😂 I went to the first meet in over a year yesterday and I remembered why I stopped going to them, witnessed a Citroen Picasso beat a fiesta and the guy in the fiesta threw a brick through the Citroen's window, it's just kids these days with 1.2 shitboxes, gone are the days of chilled out meets where you go and make friends and chat
@@ethangee96 like okay I’m sure it’s an on going project. We all wish we had the money to build them overnight but the best ones are the ones that have taken years of blood, sweat, tears and money 😂 that does sum up uk meets in a nutshell. Not enough appreciating what people have done with limited time and money and more time criticising eachother. I had loads of hate for a turbo BRZ I built but I loved every second of owning that thing.
@@ls_812 kyle needs these then in his billet block. Manley Pro Series I-beam connecting rods are forged from 4340 aircraft-quality vacuum degassed material. They are fully machined to produce the strongest rods possible. The rods are shot-peened to Mil specs and are 100 percent individually magnafluxed. They feature 7/16 in. ARP 2000 cap screws with 12-point heads for an amazing 220,000 psi tensile strength.
It’s definitely a smart move to collect some data on the life cycle of things like rods/bearings and clutches before going to a billet block in order to try and prevent failures like this, a window in a stock block is gonna hurt a lot less than doing it to a billet one
The billet block is fixable unlike the stock blocks. That’s another main reason everyone is wanting to go billet. Even if you do scatter it, it’s fixable
Next investment should be a dry sump oil system. A drag cartel CNC head would be rad too. You could make more power at lower boost numbers. Do you guys ever check rod stretch? It seems like that set of aluminum rods had a lot of passes on them.
At the end of the day this is the second time that the engine has blown after you kill your bp. More maintenance after these passes just checking bearings and checking torque will benefit so much. Just more content keep killing it us fans are here for the ride🤘🏼🤘🏼
Garza done one hell of a job!! Love the way the sidekick does nice donuts ! You can tell its going to do good when you get it dialed in. Brent done so good a lot of wheel speed he got that thing perfect now
It’s time vs cost. If it blows up it’s content. Rebuild is content. It’s more cost effective to let them blow up. Also it’s a YT channel not a race team
For these big events, far away from the shop you should consider doing an inspection / tear down a week or 2 in advance and giving yourself time to replace anything that is worn before the important event. *While I'm typing this^ ...You did not just say that you are STARTING a log... Cmon Kyle... fml ☠
Cylinder pressures are probably high enough now that they need to pull the engine appart and measure the rods between events as well as look at bearings.
First off no wonder your name had the word dirty in it. And plus that would be kyle more or less looking at a sister, as in him and Jamie are basically brothers. And I'm pretty sure Kyle has his own girlfriends ass to look at it and not his best friends wife's ass. Grow up
Definitely seems like you lost a bearing as soon as it failed to come up on two-step you should have killed it that's about the only chance you had at saving it but it's not easy when you're at an event in front of thousands and thousands of people that came to see you all race I get it trust me... But in retrospect that engine was a backup with used internals right it didn't really oh you guys anything anymore after how far it buried the record and lasted just going to have to start changing your bearings more often or at least checking them.. your so lucky that didn't happen at 190+mph
I think you need to break down and check rods and head after every track race , just like the big boys , try balancing the crank this time on the new block to see if it’s off . Just a thought, love the content either way ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
@@locdogwitd9 tiny engine BIG power. All the more reason to do tear downs preventatively. Honda reliability goes out the window when you quadruple stock power figures sadly 😂
This is BoostedBois tho, entertainment is more important than investing excessive time and money. Kyle’s success is largely due to consistently proving that big expenses and long timelines can be unnecessary. Just think about the EBay Turbo influence. I’m expecting to see the billet block running a wet sump and inevitably having reused parts thrown into it. Also thinking they’ll eventually weld it themselves to repair it, possibly during a drag/drive event
Who wants the pieces?? Oh everybody that's looking at me? Man, I've only got a little bit of pieces. Come back later. I'll figure something out... I love the attention. If I give all the pieces away then they'll all move on... 1 hour later I figure something out and it's just one guy and flip flops with a. I love boosted voice tattoo on his tit. 😂😂😂😂😂
You guys should either fix the center of gravity problem on the side kick an drift it or just go full tubbed out drag car. It would be so sick it you got it chopped and had a metal roof made for it. If you look at it the thing really does have cool box flares and shit. If you extended them it could be such a sick unique build for you guys. It would just be cool to see you guys do an other full clean build with some interior and stuff not just raw drag cars. A sema build basically I think between you two you guys could build something really sick
If you think about it If he had a billet block And the rod let go like that It would broke the block and then it will be 10 times more expensive to fix. So good thing he had a oem block
Aluminium has it number of passes before it breaks. It's just how aluminium works. Upgraded blok doesn't change this. Don't know if there are some upgraded steel rods. But that would be a better choise in my opinion. Ore you change the rods after a specific number of passes
Aluminium is extremely notch sensitive so if you scribed "Kyle" into it and it broke at the Kyle that may be your answer. At the bottom end of the day it doesn't matter how much carnage ensued. Broke is broke. If you're lucky you can reuse the head.......if you dint sign it.😜 Sidekick saved the day. It really needs to go up against the Mystery Machine.
@@eddominates ok. I couldn't tell from here and I didn't see it done. Would have made a good advertisement for magic marker that it survived all of that.
@@bobmotts my bad. This comment was not ment for you but there was a bad comment but now i can't find it. I guess my phone scrolled and stumbled on your comment
Would love to see you start wearing arm restraints when racing and hooning. Really don't want to get surprised by a post saying Kyle lost an arm in a rollover
Well I guess it's time for that billet block the stock one couldn't hold anymore, it's crazy to see how car that car has come I remember the first day you got it and the first time it blew up on the highway in Mexico, it's came so far and is so fast now💯 keep up the hard work Kyle you cane so far I remember when it was just the hatch in the og house then you got wago so you could wrench on the hatch🔥💯 can't wait to see what else you accomplish bro 🤘
Yall inspire me to boost a honda so bad I should have kept the one I had after she blew up on me but I needed the space and I didn't have time to work on it, I'm forsure going to pick up another honda and do what I always wanted and boost her and go surve some gapplebees in Mexico 💯🔥
It's the block that failed tho its the rod . It seems like they need to start replacing the rods more often aluminum rods have a certain amount of passes you can make on them before you need to replace them of else they will fail. They lasted a while tho
@@rushking19 yeah true it was the rod ig I wasn't thinking but yeah the rod just snaped then kicked a hole out the block in the #1 cylinder, but them stock blocks hold Hella power forsure, but it would have probably gave up pretty soon or eventually
Aluminum does not have a distinct fatigue or endurance limit, so its S-N graph curves down from the upper left to the right and continues to curve down lower and lower toward the lower right corner of the graph. This illustrates that it will eventually fail even from low stress applications, given enough of them.
Luckily for you having videos. You can spend a day or two going back and looking and footage and write some things down in that new notebook. I do a similar thing for myself and my customers builds and setups in car audio and engine setups
Seems as if you had the expiration date on your aluminum rods. If you continue to go the aluminum rod round maybe consider checking rod stretch on your aluminum rods
Hey man that engine went 192 Serious power into it and you've gt great runs out of it no shame it that. Love you guys and thanks for the great content!
bro you cant ask for more than what that engine did. This is also a lesson for the new block that after so many passes you have to pull the engine and refresh it.
I'm so glad I got to go it was a great experience and I almost couldn't get my size hoodie but then they gave me the display one so that was pretty cool and I love the hoodie
That was a tough weekend, but you'll get that on those big jobs sometimes. You got your money's worth out of that engine, safe to say it didn't owe you a thing when that rod left the building.
