This is on the other forum.. It is known that he threw a rod through his block, teardown pending.

Bad new bear:
Blew my engine yesterday half way down from Jacksonville to Miami. Rod shot through the side of the block. Metal and oil everywhere. Any recommendations on sourcing an engine and advice to ensure the new engine last forever.
Story goes like this: I was running a mustang, car blew, metal heard, oil everywhere but not through the pipes.
I wasn't running meth (stop running it a while ago). The car has 82k miles on it (mods listed below).
Believe it or not, the engine still ran!! I had drive it up little hill to the backyard of the house its getting fixed at. What a beast!
Earlier in the thread we tried to diagnose a consistent lean / knock retard situation, and we got these pre-explosion logs:
METH: http://datazap.me/u/qubansailor/fuel...5-6-9-10-11-12
No Meth: http://datazap.me/u/qubansailor/ffpr...eth-dump?1-5-6
Following my suggestions:
Map 1:
Start Boost 40 or 65 (Test consistency).
Start Ign Correction 100%.
Map 2:
Meth maps you can run 70,85 (if you h8 your turbs.)
Start Ign Correction 0%.
Confirm you haven't changed the Map 1 Ignition Correction Values? I thought the 'cede should be pulling out more timing than it is...
Something to keep an eye on: From fuel trims it looks like Bank 1 is having a slightly harder time hitting AFRs, but it doesn't seem to be a problem for you yet.
This could mean one or more of your injectors in Bank 1 is wearing / failing versus wear / fail rate in bank 2 (or some problem with your O2 sensors.).
!!! Someone more skilled than me will have to comment on your AFRs going lean when the DME dumps out timing. This may be normal, but leaning out to 15 at several points looks dangerous. !!!
His log was:
set 100% ign correction
http://datazap.me/u/qubansailor/100-ic?1-5-6-7-8
From that we recommended he lower his boost and sort out his hardware issue before continuing. Not sure if he followed the advice.
This is a car that rob@vishnu apparently looked at and declared 'running fine'. Would be interesting to see root cause analysis pick this one apart.
