Define “blew out”

 

Was driving home from work, turned onto my street, had 0 power on acceleration.  Engine "shook" got power back, but there was so much smoke blowing out the exhaust that I looked like I was doing the sickest burnout ever.

When I pulled into my driveway the idle was terrible the engine was shaking, I turned her off, tried to start her again and she wouldn't.

she spent 2 days at C-Red and they told me that 2 cylinders lost compression, the oil line to the turbo split and the turbo blew up too, and the head gasket went as well. 

While they were looking at her she seized up completely.

Bummer. Part out or fix? At least it made it home for you.

Sounds like the oil line blew and it ran without oil pressure

What turbo does it have?

What’s the plan?

Stock Turbo. It was just an old, high KM Engine, remember the car was parked up in a Trucking yard with no Rego for years and had a very questionable past.

 

So now I'm looking for a new engine which, these engine are stupidly expensive, and I'm going to sell my old engine to anyone who'll take it for maybe $500...

*joins the queue for a 20 year old seized nissan import engine with dubious history and blown turbo*
 
I was told there would be cake?


Wait. There was supposed to be cake? I never got any cake when my 25 ate it's bearings. I feel ripped off.
