Re broken piston etc. Is pressure the problem? Or as you noted the fuel setup isn't right, & what about timing? So, could it be detonation?..

I think that was just a symptom of old cast piston and a big volume of air mass coming into engine. i don't think detonation as an issue as both head gaskets were ok this time and on that left bank there was a Fel-Pro blue gasket which I installed there back in 2007. But, anyway that was totally a shot in the dark as we didn't go to dyno with that old bottom end. With the new engine we will definetely do that before going to the track. It's a bit hard to figure out those wastegate settings etc. without dynoing the engine.

And, when Simo gets all the data out of a laptop, we will know more. Anyhow, that 0.52 bar pressure was present at only 4200 rpm at the end of the track. The start was at about 1500 rpm and it really didn't pick up well. Time was someting around 13.3 and we didn't even bother to pick up the time slip. Well, it would be nice to know what happened between half of the track and the end because jyrki said it started to pull quite hard at that point...BigGrin

Guys.  That’s a big ouch.  Those pistons being fifty years old sure didn’t help.  The new engine will undoubtedly alleviate some of those breakage issues.  Thanks for the pics though.

I spent the whole morning in the garage and just got the autopsy done. Just what we thought and seems that the crank survived with external scratches. Camshaft atleast in four pieces and bent pushrods all over the engine Smile.

But hey, that's racing! Don't try this with over fifty years old parts BigGrin.

Gotta say The Rapture looks BAD just sitting in your pit area. Did any of the "fifty year old parts " pass thru your turbos? w00t And do any damage in there?

No damage in turbos. The boost put all scrap down and valves went close just after "white smoke" and big bang... Whistling
