    Well, definitely not the outcome we wanted, but it was the outcome we were handed. The Type R felt absolutely great during testing and i was driving great as well. Unexpectedly, the type r's engine blew up during the end of practice and we were unable to compete.

      @Kaleidoscope john over at FK8 tuning and development said that you can blow up a type r engine at 400hp when too much torque is requested and he is making type rs go 500+ on stock engines and everything works golden. Really believe is a tune issue cause engine shouldn’t blow up that easily. Also, Dustin is FBO, has upgraded fuel system and big turbo and they were only able to barely make 400hp. Really don’t know why but should be well over 400 easily.

    If you really want to learn from this, go back and rewatch your practice laps and pay attention to your RPMs. Def over revved the engine multiple times, too high of RPMs into turns, like dangerously close to redline and even passed over redline on corn exit acceleration. Rebuild the car, out learn some bad habits and try again 💪

    Been watching for months now and this video finally got me to comment. I was invested in the Type R. This hit me deeper than I thought. I was stoked to see your runs this weekend. Like you say build back better! And even though it might be cliche and nerdy I think back to Initial D. Bunta said that Takumi needed to learn to lose/fail to progress. And he did that at Irohazaka by...blowing his engine. Its something I always remember and took to heart. I can't wait to see the Type R 2.0!

    I'm very sorry Dustin, seeing this breaks my heart as well because I've been following the TypeR build from the beginning, and seeing how hard you guys worked on it, I was really looking forward to see the car performs. In my culture, there's a saying, the materialistic things go so you don't, and depends on the year you were born, certain car colors that you drive also means prosperity and luck too. This might mean something to you or it might not but at least, you're safe and you'll still be able to restore the Type R. Keep your heads up, this might be a blessing in disguise, if you're interest in finding out which color works best for the year you were born, let me know haha.

  • @Qiu_Media

    Not sure if it's the turbo that blew or the tune that blew the motor, but I highly recommend three things - RV660 Turbo from RV6 - they're a good engineering company that took a lot of R&D and testing of their turbo that they just released.
    I'd also see if you can get a tune done by Derek at IMW (Innovative Motorworks) -- he is the go to guy for almost every 10th gen turbo application and will get you squared away with a solid tune. For reference, he's the one that does most of the OTS maps that come with KTuners.
    Baffled pan -- I'm sure you've got it on the way for sure!

    You guys are constantly fighting an uphill battle! But think of it this way. You guys are gonna learn how to prepare and compete much faster!
    Don’t beat yourself up Dustin! To me what this incident means is that you are capable of much more than the engine can handle and you should remember that.
    I discovered your channel few weeks ago and I’ve binge watched your videos from 2022. Even during that short time I can see how much you improved and how serious you are about track racing. You and Tim make a fantastic team and the only way is up!

    Tough break :( Keep your heads up and keep pushing ahead. Let this be an excuse to build a sicker motor!

    Hey dude, better luck next time. It’s always a pleasure to see a video like this. Keep up the good work like you said, learn from the mistakes take in and get better for the next one.

    Thank you for continuing to be such an inspiration. I get emotional when you talk about growth and that mindset when struggle tries to overpower us. Thank you for being you!

    Sorry to hear about this. As someone who has experienced this more times than i can admit, it does gives you the fuel to carry on and come back better.... (after some mourning and some beers lol)
    Look into adding just a bit more oil to engine to compensate for the cooler, lines, and extra G forces during cornering. All it takes is got a few good turns where the pump sucks air pockets, and with the engine speed temps, is easy to FUBAR the bearings which brings you to this. To me this sounds like oil starvation.

    not sure how you stay so positive, i would have been destroyed. Props man you will be back for sure! definitely such an amazing influence.

    Watching the build and creating a personal connection to it (as I’m a fk8 owner too) this hurt me to see it go this way. Like most of the comments here and what you said, only the beginning and excited to see what’s coming next.

    Looks like you have been lifting hard in the gym, looking pretty stacked in that shirt Dut. So sorry to see your engine had some internal failure. Sounds like rod knock or piston slap. I know the feeling of needing and engine rebuild. My RB26 had issues as well and is in the process of a rebuild. Feeling frustrated and disappointed as the same time, not to mention the financial aspect and added stress to figure out how to fix everything. Your footage was very cinematic. Not sure if you switched to SLOG, codec, but man video quality was amazing, plus the editing and music was spot on. Great work , love this content, keep it coming.🔥

    Unfortunately, it's the tune that "send it tune" that probably caused this. Not to shame that shop that tunes it, but i've heard some things from other GenX owners regarding their tunes.

    I would review my whole build process because this seems to be happening a lot. Is it just a bad tune or a problem in the builds? A bad tune can ruin all your hard work.

    • @Solefresh10
      @Solefresh10 Před rokem +1

      I have a feeling it’s a bad tune. Cause the guy that tuned his ctr he had a SI and he also got rod knock also.. just seems like a coincidence

    • @JonHop1
      @JonHop1 Před rokem

      @@Solefresh10 This is a super common problem in these new direct-injection motors. They are hard to tune, and not super reliable for hard driving and power increases. I am a Honda Tech and we deal with a ton of blown up SI's and Type R's. Many times with very light power increases.

    Beyond gutted for you and Tim - but I’m really interested to see what you find as a cause - that’s the realest part. I am thinking of buying anFK8 for daily plus track days but watching your struggles with the platform is making me rethink… good luck with the rebuild Dut 🇬🇧🇬🇧

    Gutted for you Dustin you and Tim worked so hard for this and the car was doing great that’s racing tho things happen bigger stronger and better next time

  • @JonHop1
    @JonHop1 Před rokem +1

    Not a Fan of the K20c1.. I am a Honda Tech and these newer direct-injection motors are just nowhere near as reliable for power as the older port-injection Honda engines.. We deal with SOOO many blown up new SI's and Type R's.. And many times, just lightly modified with minimal power increases. Ive been talking about k24-swapping my fk8 now for like 3 years lol. I will make it happen one day!

    Welcome to Austin! It was nice seeing the type r rip on cota! Sorry to hear about what happened but I'm sure you will build it back better and stronger than before!

  • @mamoruokinawa
    @mamoruokinawa Před rokem

    Dustin... Sorry that you couldn't race, but take it as type r saved you from having a bad day like wreck during the race... You are more important than the car or the race.... I like how thankful you are even when car gave up before the race.... I like to think that the car knew something worse was about to happen so.... Like you said, it aint your first rodeo.... Cant wait to see you next year better then ever... Always proud of you Dustin, and your Legend team

    It's a shame what happened but you have an amazing spirit, at least you can probably just throw in a new engine and away you go.
    One thing I can say as a total amateur is I notice you turn in a bit early, make the most out of the entry and the exit,
    Anyway i can't wait to see you back out there man.

  • @chrisschard
    @chrisschard Před rokem

    So sorry for this! That fail-forward mindset is 👌🔑 and will allow you to come back even stronger and better. We can't control random events, but we can control our responses. Good responses = good outcomes. I'm excited about what's to come in your future. That 1M is on the horizon!!!
