Blown a hole in my LCR engine, help!

[Nath.]

I have a cupra 180 with a fare amount of upgrades hybrid etc it's now 285bhp and I have standard rods it's been fine though?

Have you got some wood near you to touch?

Loads are mate, I'm running just shy of 300 and my rods were fine, I still changed them for peace of mind. I'd hate to spend all that cash on mods for the engine to blow.
Although like I say there are plenty out there with OEM rods that are fine, it's a lottery

I'd want to know what caused the failure, Can't just assume it was the rods.
Maybe a ring snagged and caused a jam, Bad oil pressure or fuel pressure? Not saying they can cause such a failure but the cause needs to be found.


Would be best to find the cause in case the same thing happens to new block.

all this talk makes me worry, i wont be going stage 2 anytime soon but it is mapped, i want to fit a down pipe and decat and have bill map it for me but all this make me scared to drive lol

Who mapped the car? Perhaps it was a spikey map,
A mates S3 just bent a rod on a stage1 map, It was an early Revo map though which got some bad press.

Yeah I guess. Fingers crossed I have a gd one I no it's been well looked after and it's low mileage

Bill did mine and it's been great

Is everything else still intact ? ( turbo ? )
When my engine blew , it was because the turbo crumbled inside. Parts manged to fall into the engine , bending all my rods. Piston shot out the front and spat the oil out my exhaust .
That went at 92k with stage one revo. New engine now with 112k all mods for stage 2 and hasn't missed a beat ( until now - split pipe somewhere ) .

What other kind of issues could have caused this boost?

 

[BoostHard]

I wouldn't like to say. I'm not an expert in any way but something went wrong and the cause needs identifying to avoid it happening again. You say its run fine for 55k on the remap so something went wrong.
