This is how you destroy a 2010 GT500 motor

[Mook]

Friend of mine recently grenaded the motor in his compound boost (Hellion Twin Turbo kit) 2010 GT500. The car was making 22lbs of combined boost using a triple fuel hat on stock internals. Car was making 740RWHP/7XX RWTQ. No sure what the A/F was at.

I have never seen anything like this. The bottom end is was completely destroyed. 7 of 8 rods and pistons shattered and bent and the block had holes and cracks in numerous locations. Some have suggested that he may have sucked up some water but it happened during a consecutive track pass. What the heck causes this kind of failure? I've seen one or two rods go, but not seven.

no rod mod, i know that feel bro

 

[daturbosix]

built ford tough huh...

 

[blakbearddelite]

A GM would have destroyed all 8 rods/pistons.

 

[Yaj Yak]

Nope. GM V6s can put down over 700 at the wheels on a regular stock bottom end. /troll

...yet the said picture is that of a Ford. Period.

pshh im pretty sure it was 790 something on stock internals

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Probably didn't even run 8's. Not impressed.

Sweet carnage

No wonder it blew up, there's a finger stuck in there!

There's an awful lot of rust on those rod caps and on the inside of the block... either that thing has been sitting for a little time before they tore into it or water is a culprit...

Whatever happened, holy crap, grenaded

 

[RICH17]

I just noticed the rust as well....then I noticed the FRAM oil filter....

EDIT Nevermind I was looking at part of the engine stand

Maybe for one pass.

Should had a LSx motor. That wouldnt have gernaded

 

[1quick]

Maybe for one pass.

I honestly dont think the motor ever broke, the trans has alot, when i was at the shop talking to matt the owner of the car he said they ran the fastest time with the car on a stock short block, but he is also crazy awesome at tuning

except for the 13'... GT500 motors FTL

Maybe for one pass.

you mean multiple low 9 second passes and a lots of dyno runs?

ford guys doubting 3800s

 

[BoostedK20]

Tmbutitta's ls2 gto made 773rwhp on 13psi and still runs strong for the new owner 2yrs later.

I believe when Tad owned it; (2) 8hr dyno sessions, a few track days, and maybe a few street passes. Its now seen more dyno time and track passes with the new owner.

I guess its just another example of a "high" hp "stock" lsx.



What do the '03 cobra motors make with the removal of the blower and then a turbo install? Those last awhile and make good numbers, no?

 

[UWISHU1]

They good to 1000hp, it's all in the tune.

 

[Yaj Yak]

Maybe for one pass.

As everyone else already said, no, many many runs and dyno pulls

 

[PANDA]

Yep $300 junk yard stock 3800's hold more power. What does this motor cost $30,000?

 

[jason05gt]

They good to 1000hp, it's all in the tune.

Ain't that the truth. When the guy said, "I am not sure of the a/f" that's a sign right there.

 

[greasy]

This is the perfect sample size, 1 motor...........

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Maybe I'm in the minority but I'd rather have a full weight gt500 making 700+hp then a stripped out tube chassis front ended grand prix making more then that.
