2011 GT/CS (Turbo content)

[jrhaden]

Heres my 2011 GT/CS I picked up in December. Was planning on some minor cosmetic mods, turbo kit and some wheels.

Got my hellion single kit installed and it was a monster. Was well on its way to just getting the above mentioned mods. Well I had #8 failure and have since parted ways with the original plan.

Update to last week where Forged manley rods and pistons, MMR head cooling mod and oil gears, circle d converter and clutch upgrades, aluminum driveshaft, full upr suspension(k member, upper and mount, lowers, panhard bar and brace), 2013 GT500 wheels, return style fuel system, Strange 10way struts/shocks, eibach pro kit lowering springs, magnaflow exhaust and braided brake lines.

So the plan got slightly rerouted but this thing should be a monster when its done. Just playing the waiting game now, waiting on the big brown truck to show up.

Heres some pics from when I got it to now.


All stock

Windows tinted and homemade shorty antenna mod

Up on the lift getting ready for turbo test fit/install

Complete

After #8 failure, let the tear down begin

How it sits now. No engine, trans, rear, suspension, etc

Rears dropped for welding tubes, braces and paint.

Well that #8 picture doesn't look familiar. Definitely not a problem with factory part lol. Every freaking one looks like a copy/paste.

It was a BBR 93oct tune. I think it was more parts failure versus the tune. Shows no signs of detonation and looks completly different than any other pic of #8 failure I've seen. I bought the car used so I have no idea what was in/on it before I had it.

The turbo is a Precision 7675.

Thanks and true that

Almost spun out into a wall. When the piston let go it started puking oil out the exhaust, it was leaking oil out of the slip joints on the turbo piping and downpipe also. It coated the bottom side of car and the rear tires. Was smoking like a freight train so we pulled over and trailered it home. Car was still running surprisingly well. Just had a very slight miss.

hmmmm? looks like a tune problem to me. sorry to hear about your engine problems. good luck with your build. ;-)

 

[jrhaden]

Anything is possible. I put about 170 miles on it the night before, then another 60 or so before it happened. Made a few other hard pulls and then it let go.

Obviously you would say that.

 

[badbiach]

I don't think JR is blaming BBR. I know some specifics about what may have happened, but not going to talk publicly.

 

[jrhaden]

Im not blaming them. Could it have been the tune, yes. Could it have been bad gas, bad part, just a lean spike, etc. Yeah. I know at the end of the day its part of it and if you can't afford to fix it if it happens you should probably just keep it stock.

Good kit, good tuner.
Bad driver.....

Zing!

Good luck with the new stuff Jack, I can't wait to line em up....

Like I said dunno of many areas in the US that the coyote is alive and well like Oklahoma!

Blake is first to get dealt with....

I'll wear both of you out at the SAME DAMN TIME!!!
