Blew up the civic on the dyno... (Patreon)

Bad bad bad news ladies and gents... the dyno didn't go so well...We don't know exactly what happened since it all happened so quickly and unexpectedly. We were doing part throttle tuning, going through the rpm range with some boost, and BOOM! A bunch of smoke poured out of the exhaust, water shot out of the headgasket, and it was toast. A few things that happened for sure: the wastegate never opened and the ecu had no boost control or boost safeties. It SEEMS like we had some runaway boost since the wastegate didn't open and just destroyed the engine. Since the ecu is a stock chipped ecu, there was no way to really prevent it. I'll have a video out about it soon, explaining things more. Unfortunately I dont have the time or funds to rebuild this engine. We'll be throwing a stock motor in and making something around 250hp on low boost. This time I'll get a new wastegate....Oh, and the LS6 arrived...
