Keep in mind this is higher than a Mazdaspeed dynos at, and I have raced one to prove it (of course a stock Mazdaspeed).

The damage..
 
I finally took the head off when I got home from work this morning, and saw fist hand the damage that had occured. I just pushed the piston in cylinder #2 up out of the top of the block, and this is the horror of it:

Here were the 1st sings of damage..the MBSP (besides the hole in the block!) :

Good lord! Them pistons got owned!! lol

Hopefully the new stuff will kick ass ;)

sweetprotege93 May-1st-2003 08:18 PM

Duuuude that looks really bad! I thought my motor looked bad... well at least you have things up and running again. What exactly was it that caused that damage?

Here's an interesting example of a connecting rod breaking (or so I assume, piston going, whatever).

"M3s suck"
"your m3 is slow!"
"was that your engine?"
"my parents are gonna be so pissed"
