For all of you guys that have blown a motor what parts are breaking and what caused it? Are you breaking pistons ring lands, rods, blowning head gaskets? What caused it? Poor tuning? My AEM will be here tomorrow and I should be finished peicing my turbo kit together within 2-3 weeks. How many boosted my04's are around here so far?

 

Has anyone blown a motor?

 

There have been quite a few blown motors (few when compared to the total number of cars out there) but those owners may not have seen this thread yet. There is a guy here named Barry (can't remember his full username) who has kept a log of all the blown motors.
I'm going to move this to S2000 Talk for more targeted views. Some of your questions are, in fact, "technical", but I think this topic will get more attention in the other forum. A link will be left here, though.
(There seems to be a glitch with the site. I'll move it when I can.)

 

Thanks. I'm trying to decide if I should run inline pro's headgasket or just run 7-8 psi for now and build another motor.

 

I can't comment about the head gasket but here's that thread from Barry:
