Managed to blow my engine going over the line at rotorstock (in 12.4 seconds though:wiggle ) due to fuel pressure reg vacume hose splitting.
Well the engine is out & stripped in super quick time (cheers to Davehg).
It obviously ran quite lean & as a result i\'ve-
Thrown all 3 tips on the front rotor
Wrecked front rotor & housing
Chipped 2 tips on the rear
Wrecked the rear Housing & possibly the rotor &
Damaged the turbine blades on my GT35R!:mad: Hopefully it\'ll be reusable??
So on the whole not a great weekend!

Thanks mate!:Thumbs-up Well i\'m goin to RX motors tomorrow to see tim and get all the bits i need! If The turbo Damage is deemed not to bad then it should be back in a week or 2!
Otherwise i think a T04Z may be on the cards:wiggle

Universal turbos in Ringwood are excellent at rebuilding, and aren\'t too expensive. They are just north west of Southampton.

Sorry to hear that mate but you took it well.
Trust the money for the lights will come in handy.
Keith
you can\'t rebuild the GT35R,the whole centre core has to be replaced.Best to get it trimmed and rebalanced.
Some of these seals would have saved your housings and your turbo, makes them look cheap now.

it would\'ve happened anyway regardless of being at santa pod so its not always drag racing etc that kills the cars its the cars etc to begin with.

Cheers for the kind words guys!
