It'll be way better next time, especially with more time to tune in the car so it can leave the line hard. I'm interested to see what ET the car can do.
Devastating news guys but what a effort!! Should be proud you drove all that way and go as far as you did in the comp in an old stripped out racecar AE71 haha! Such an achievement.
Oh bro… that so sad 😞 my heart goes out to mat. We all know the feeling when something catastrophic happens like that after so much hard work. But we also know that it will be back better than ever! Big ups to you both! I can’t image how tiring a trip like that would be in the Ausy heat. Can’t wait to see what you guys get up to next. Sending love from NZ ❤
Great show brother. Love the edited cuts at the start. Shame about the corolla block, but hopefully you're all back at next years race event! Gives you more time to practise your drone flying skills a 😅 j/k. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽
Even if engine protection worked, the car was still in gear and moving pretty quickly so hydro locking the motor couldn't have been stopped with engine protection. Mat's already made some big moves towards getting the car back on the road so look forward to a breakdown video and more driving content soon👍
@@NEVER-LIFT I wasn't meaning engine protection. I meant when Matt made the decision to send it, he was probably thinking "it will blow through the head gasket, we might have to dodgy deck the block or skim the head", he probably didnt think, the cylinders will fill up with coolant and spit the rods out the block :( Sounds good!! Hanging for the next video
@@ae86racer007 Oh I see. Honestly I had no idea how serious of a gamble it was but Mat said he's seen this happen many times before with RB engines, he knew what happened pretty much straight away. At least we know what not to do now 😅
We will do a teardown video and and show exactly what happened and what caused this fault so we can educate everyone on how to not have this happen to their own motor But no this crank won't be used again except for a trial fit crank for parts development
That sucks. Did you run larger studs? The Puerto Ricans I think were finding head lift problems between cylinders 20 odd years ago and I always wondered how baz got past the issue.
this motor was running standard size head studs, we've done a video series on his new engine which has half inch head studs you can find it on my channel under 800hp 4age build. Mat wants to do a breakdown video explaining what happened, the causes and the way he's going to fix it with the new engine, So be on the lookout for that video soon.
No drone is long gone, we didn't have time to wait around so I just saved the footage and we left. Maybe it'll fall down in high wind, we should stop in the same place and look for it next year lol
@@NEVER-LIFT I just laughed out loud like a mad scientist! I wish I could come help you. This is going to be really cool to watch. Thank you so much for sharing, great editing. You two make a great team. Btw Spicer's car is nasty!
@@mtperformanceengines3508Epic! You guys have obliterated my expectations of 4ages. I'm so happy I've found my ae92. I know, it's a stupid fwd, but it's still a 4a!
Both of the engines we blew up on this channel were slapped together in a rush, Hopefully moving forward Mat can show how a properly built 4a can hold together in turbo application. Keep an eye out because we'll be back soon.
@@zerohikari2685 I don't consider it bad luck. These guys are pushing the bounds on what's considered today to be a delicate block. I consider it a test of man and machine.
It's not bad luck, it's poor engenering I can explain in depth in the next video but I can assure you I have many customers on bulk hp 4a and 7a turbo motors that don't break, my new motor will give you an idea on good engenering I hope 😅
Spewing for you guys, no doubt next year will come back bigger and better!!
100% Mat has already been making moves so stay tuned for a update video soon
Good on you for having a crack bro
Sorry to see mate. Great video series looking forward to seeing you back running again.
Thanks for watching bro
9:40 got me in the feels, been there. Tough luck guy's, onwards and upwards.
Thanks brother. Mat's already got the new plan in motion so stay tuned
Bad luck fellas, looking forward to seeing you back out there with the higher power engine.
It'll be way better next time, especially with more time to tune in the car so it can leave the line hard. I'm interested to see what ET the car can do.
Devastating news guys but what a effort!! Should be proud you drove all that way and go as far as you did in the comp in an old stripped out racecar AE71 haha! Such an achievement.
Thanks mate
Thanks brother I had the best time and next year we are coming back stronger than ever
Great adventure onwards and upwards next year awaits, that v8 sounds great POWER 😂.
MORE POWER!!!!
That sucks but such is life. Also loved the video!! That drone footage lmao 😂
hahaha had to leave it in RIP Drone. Thanks for watching man.

Thanks mate, the heat stroke was no joke 😅
Whoopsy.
Bugger, Drag Challenge isn’t easy that’s for sure, glad you didn’t bin the car as the engine let go, there’s always next time bigger and better 💪
Thanks mate, next year will be way bigger and better. We've already been discussing how we can improve.
You guys are crazy, this is wild. I love watching your adventures you petrol heads!
Gotta risk it for the biscuit!

hahahah thanks for the support brother. The drone skills are limited for sure, I gotta work on that one 😆

Seeing as the rod still spins, do ya think the crank is salvageable for a shits and giggles tossup?
If it's still straight it should be ok
I wouldn't reuse it, considering you can buy brand new ones. I don't think its worth the risk.

@@NEVER-LIFT Ah bugger. I dont know if larger studs would have helped but it is something that I've heard of. Baz should know the solution.
The laughing at the end! 🤣 ...btw, dod you get the Drone from the treetop?
No drone is long gone, we didn't have time to wait around so I just saved the footage and we left. Maybe it'll fall down in high wind, we should stop in the same place and look for it next year lol
Just a question on the engine. Do you run a forged crank. If yes where do you get them
he's running a standard OEM crank. Marine Cranks do the best cranks but be prepared to pay a premium.
Youd think the boost pressure would of kept coolant out of the cylinder. Maybe on exhaust it squirted in. How many hours did you get from 400hp spec?
@@fuzzayd4601 must have sucked in during the exhaust stroke... scavenged coolant with the exhaust velocity?
About 13 years 😅
@ 🤣🤣
Is the big motor grout filled and no water to the head?
Yes its grout filled but water still flows through the head and the top half of the block
Sorry about your block, that's sad. Are you planning on putting 800hp build in it? That would be completely mental 😂
Yes but the plan is pretty extensive so we want to do a video explaining the game plan moving forward.
@@NEVER-LIFT I just laughed out loud like a mad scientist! I wish I could come help you. This is going to be really cool to watch. Thank you so much for sharing, great editing. You two make a great team. Btw Spicer's car is nasty!
I couldn't wait for niko to come and film the new motor install so mark and myself have already got it in 1 week after drag challenge 😅
@@mtperformanceengines3508Epic! You guys have obliterated my expectations of 4ages. I'm so happy I've found my ae92. I know, it's a stupid fwd, but it's still a 4a!
It's a bit nuts to think I've ridden higher displacement motorcycles that were slower.
Would you build a big block 7a instead of 4a like garage 4a have done?
He does plan to in the future but a plan is already in motion to get the car running again quickly so he's sticking to the 4a block for now.
4ag ftw!
You guys got a lot of bad luck when it comes to turbo 4As.
Both of the engines we blew up on this channel were slapped together in a rush, Hopefully moving forward Mat can show how a properly built 4a can hold together in turbo application. Keep an eye out because we'll be back soon.

@@LeviSkinner-l9n If you think a 4A has a delicate block you haven't worked with many engines.

@@zerohikari2685 not many inline 4s. Most of my experience is with diesels and v8s.
