A collection of pistons and bent valves collected over many years
from 3 different meltdowns and a cam belt failure!

I should add, ALL using standard engine managment with too little knowledge (at the time) and too much boost.

No meltdown for over 3 years now - must be doing something right at last

Luckily mine are liners - so Ł500 on some uprated ones and I was back up and running again

Comes through trying to put 200 bhp through something more used to around 87 I suppose

IMO Any tuner who claims that they have NEVER had a meltdown is
either lying, an amnesiac or just hiding the truth to look good !


Its all part of the learning process !!!

Meltdowns happen for many reasons NOT just bad mapping.
Too many things external to the engine can cause these random aluminium sculptures.

E.G Fuel pump failure, wastgate jamming, map sensor failure etc......
