Geez I thought Honda engines were supposed to be good at high revs. I'm thinkin this is one of those rare unusual cases where somethin just goes wrong (like the whole 335i turbo overheating issue)

That or he sees a lot of blown motors at that shop

When I had my 350Z I modded it out and dyno'd it after every mod, every single time I would worry that it would blow out and that was a Nissan. Why you would attempt to dyno a brand new engine I'm not sure. But, I guess that is one way to break it in. Love how the poor owner quit recording as soon as it went up.

I was down at MIR a few years back and watched a turbo'd Eclipse make 430 to the wheels then when the guy let off the gas the turbo went bye-bye....
