Wow! That L15 block is a strong little bugger! Looks like the con-rod cap came out the bottom and the bits of the rest of the rod and piston tried to come out the side. Forged pistons and rods and she should hold 10psi plus (not that I'm egging you on you understand) for at least another 25K miles. I personally really appreciate your attitude about the whole situation, you are showing the rest of us how extreme modding and all the ups and downs that go with it should be handled. + Rep to ya and hope its up and running strong sooner rather than later!

hey i like your sig. at this point with all iv done and going to do it would have been cheaper to do a k but..... its to much weight in the front of the car i like to auto cross and whip the car around and with all that weight in the front it would push like a dump truck.

the check engine light is due to the barometric pressure sensor not being able to understand what is going on or a cat delete with no o2 mechanical simulator.
so in your opinion josh what is the mechanical weak point on the l15a when boosting?

i would bet money that the connecting rod bearings seized up. that was a big problem with older boosted B18's

But as to "push like a dump truck" you can always get around it like this video can prove:
YouTube - vtec war 1
Featuring GE8 K20 and J's GD3 K24ed Fit(although this one is pretty much a race car)
AND I totally respect the turbo boosted path... And I'm glad you showed how far it can go!! Can't wait to see the new engine with CP piston combo.. and how far the L15 can go!!!
FIT IS GO!!... FASTER
