@FastDriver didn’t wanna clog up Mikes thread.
Not sure why the rods let go. They were stock internals that had lived under boost for about a decade. Could have been fatigue. Maybe my tune wasn’t as safe as I thought it was. Maybe a HG let loose. Dunno.
But I was ready to be done with the turbo. So I’m happy with where it’s headed. Reliable and comfortable.

Switching to this thread was a good idea. Also, I fee like I've met ya, now that I've seen ya on the boobtube.
It's crazy to me that it blew up the same day you fixt the TFS stuff. Just morbid curiousity, now that removing the turbo makes it a moot point, but what did you have total timing at? How was it tuned (Quarterhorse, SCT, pulled spout connector/static timing). In the vid you said you thought it hit a ~15 psi peak... that's quite a bit on a car likely making in the ~300 +/- rwhp range NA, and maybe double that under boost, but I wouldn't expect that to be enough to dynamically disassemble the rods right away. I'd wanna see timing at no more than the ~15-16* range with AFRs in the mid 11s.

Ill have to pull up the tune, its still on Megaquirt. I cant remember what the timing was as I really only go in there maybe once a year, if that. I can say that the AFRs were on the fat side in the low 11s.

I’m realizing in real time that I can’t just slam this back together. There’s going to be a LOT of paint and detail work. I feel like a fish out of water.
Exactly what happened to me! I believe the term the guys around here like to use is “scope creep”. lol. Looking awesome!I’m realizing in real time that I can’t just slam this back together. There’s going to be a LOT of paint and detail work. I feel like a fish out of water.
I intended to work on the fox tonight BUT…
I’ve been on marketplace for a while to find seats and a console for the Bronco because the interior is roached. I scooped these up for the deal of a century tonight at $300!!! So, I’ll see how they fit this weekend.

Easy money. Swapped seat tracks and only had to drill 3 holes. 30 mins tops. The bummer is I’m losing all the power seat controls on the driver side but I’m really just interested in clean seats.
I hear you on the seat controls but when Eddie Bauer is stitched on them its like having 12 way power controlled seats with moto massage. Seriously those seats look great in there.
ALRIGHTY! This video covers everything from when I blew it up to current. Enjoy and as always, I appreciate constructive criticism on the editing and video itself. It's a difficult process and Im always trying to improve!

Just watched the video and great job!
Have you figured out the Volvo power steering pump is in limp mode? Only puts out about 75% of the pressure. This was a post I made on another site in regards to this issue:
I have no idea if anyone here would want to do this but I will be doing it on my Coyote powered F100 so I thought I would pass it along. You can use the following Volvo electric power steering pumps:
'06 - '08 C70
'05 - '09 S40
'05 - '09 V50
And this company makes a controller the allows the pump's ECU to get out of limp mode and either be manually controlled on the speed or GPS controlled:

Little bit of a wait being they are across the Atlantic but right now they are the only ones that produce the interfaces and are super clean.
I had previously posted the Corral thread but it’s been so li g that I wasn’t sure if the limp mode was addressed.

Oh it definitely is. I’ve been kicking the can down the road because… well I don’t know why. It’s on my to do list.
I finally hooked up the windshield washer fluid line today after what… 6 months? Lol. Baby steps.

now i can hopefully expect to receive the shaft
Yeah, you need to use Maximum Motorsports way of doing it or if that is a different brand of k-member then you should see if they have instructions on how to property install it. I have a MM unit and a Griggs unit and they installed the same way and I needed two plumb bobs.
None that are serviceable as is, need a beat 3/4 my self to send off a full gear set to liberty to faceplate. This guys has some parts still, but no complete assemblies. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ssn=transpartsonline&store.
Astro has a new 3/4 on flebay..
