I am glad that you are ok, however, I am sorry to hear about your car situation. If there is anything I can do, let me know. Can you inform us what happened that made your 2jzgte bottom end blow up?

Looks like something went horribly wrong with the timing, the way that the e-Manage alters this suggests that it might be possible for it to have been giving an erroneous signal, i.e. a 'double pulse' or what not. This is after hours of mulling over details with J.B. and Larry Prebis, the mixture would have to have been firing as the pistons were only partway up their stroke towards TDC. Never seen an engine fail like this, the reciprocating assy from three or four cylinders just blew through the sides of the block and oil pan with unbelievable force, a chunk of the block blew through the fuel line and severed it, I found half a con rod sitting on top of the oil filter. After a cooling off period i've decided to dive back into it, if only so it can come back out better than ever...stronger, faster, bionic lex . Gonna slice up the e-man with a plasma cutter and drive over the remains of it with the car. New TT block, Haltech, DIS4, etc....but this time i'll be building/tuning everything myself, to the extent that the shop will allow me to. Hopefully someone can learn from this (reason for this thread), I went top notch on every part and decided not to go all-out on management, in the end that decision cost me thousands in two blown motors and labour, and i've got to go standalone now anyway. Are we having fun yet?

To make some happiness to the situation ... I just wanted to say ...

... like me ... you are a lifer Good luck bro, we all have hard times. Sometimes when they hit home, they are very difficult to handle. I am sorry for your losses. I respect any decision or route you choose to take from this point and wish you best of luck.

Make it into a table! That is what I am doing with my broken engine.

edit - not my table! Just an example, that a engine can be made into a pimp table

I am going to have a straight 6 table

Why not just go with AEM? Wouldn't that be easier? Just plug it in.

I had a feeling that after enough time this would happen

And I'm glad I had a beer in me before I saw those pics


Nice table too!
