Wow! Kenny, that's probably the biggest mess I've seen so far from a blown engine... Hope you have it up and running this Sat. still!
Hate to see that K, good luck with the rebuild, keep us posted!

Pre-ingition...detonation...running a untuned F/I motor at higher rpm and boost than the engine management systems were prepared for. The shop I left the car with decided to road test an installation prior to tuning and this was the result.
I am pursuring legal recourse so I can't comment on that situation right now. I had babied the car and installed every safety measure I could get my hands for a year to get ready for tuning....made the wrong choice on where to take her...but she's on the road to recovery now and in capable hands again.
I hope these pics will in some way help prevent failures of this type for other members who chose to modify their motors with forced induction.

The engine was blown do to pre ignition. the rod bolts were fine so were the bearings and the oiling system looks fine well other than the aluminum shreds in the oil pan. PS tuning was not done at GSC on this car nor was it done by Kenny we have a 3rd source to thank for the destruction.
Kenny's patientence with GSC has been wounderfull as his car blew up in December and we moved to our new location in charleston in late January and just now opened the shop to pull out his motor and start the rebuild. We have all new parts for the car and should have her back together and running in a week or so.

I was informed that the motor blew on November 30th....took a month to arrange safe transportation...another couple of months to get all of the parts and personnel lined up.
Many thanks to Greg at GSC Motorsports for his unwavering assistance and patience.

Heads if he's lucky & it looks like the major components of the TT itself.
I knew you were in trouble when you told me that you left it for tuning, but was hoping for the best. Let me know what I can do to give you a hand & it will be done.
