The END of the Civic Type R..

[@maperformance]

It's always a bummer when stuff like this happens. BUT we all know you'll come back even better. Now, about building that engine....

[@cruntanian300]

@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.

[@upbeatmantis86]

Everything happens for a reason bro.. at least now you have a future plan to build it. Make sure you fully built the engine. And have endless fun. Yes it cost more but long term its for the better

[@Dan_AYP]

Fuel cut normal? Are you sure it's not VTEC cutting? My experience on track with road cars on high G corners are when the oil pressure drops, the VTEC system cuts out. So maybe try a sump baffle?

[@st0ic12]

Sounds feasible, I don't know if duts got a baffle already?

[@shiftpinoy]

Race,break, rebuild (should be the theme for your next drop) sucks to see the type R not finish the weekend. But I can’t wait to see the TYPE R V2 and it’s awesome to see the support of the fans. You deserve it Dut!!

[@zackellis23]

Dude, You and Tim just can't catch a break! BUT like you said, Use this as fuel for what's to come next. Keep pushing Dut!

[@moisescabrera8622]

Only up from here boss! Its an honor being part of the video and I’m pumped for what’s coming bro 🤙🏽

[@TerenceY]

Never the end. A new beginning is always around the corner.

[@chancewithcollectibles6934]

Tuning is usually the main culprit. The K20c1 can handle more power than that and not grenade. You usually don't need to build the motor until over 500hp.

[@spoonv]

You, Tim, and the rest of the team really need to celebrate how far you've come, and roll out of this. Blood, sweat, oil and tears aside, watching this build and your training for this event has really put the FK8 into better light for me; I've been converted!

[@jamieshotter3655]

You and Tim work so well together on the cars and what yous do is amazing people who love cars every where around the world much respect from New Zealand 🇳🇿 keep up the hard work

[@Slator77]

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!

[@scottfurtado3504]

I’m so sorry brother. Keep your heads held high. Like you said use it to make you better , the car better and the team better. You will be back and it will be better than ever just like you always do.

[@DenisDamulira23]

I understand the frustration but there's only one thing to cure the disappointment...Just keep going. you'll eventually get it perfected. That's the reward. Just don't go for crazy numbers...that's always the temptation.

[@BaoHa-iv3ms]

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. Anyway, I wish you good luck and health, don't let this bring you down

[@skateecho]

Oh man, after seeing what happened on IG i almost didn’t want to watch it but well made and beautiful video even with the sad ending! We know it’ll be back next time! Hopefully a bigger or better engine will have it back better then ever!

[@kaleidoscope8914]

Should have brought up Power metrics has a history of blowing Si’s and Type r’s. Should have gone with Pherable, Red star or Fk8TD.

Dut, I know you love the type R. But dude they just have too many problems. Not worth a track car imo.

[@willhendersondigital]

@@Kooldood. No way you just said civics are unreliable

[@cruntanian300]

Really respect what you do. Don’t want to blame anyone or any products but what ever you do next, really recommend getting tuned by John over at FK8 tuning and development.Type r community really respects him for what he does and his knowledge. But do your research first and find out what happened. Much love from a fellow type r owner🤞

[@justrk2]

The resilience you keep showing in these kinds of situations and the way you are able to see through the negative with a positive is truly inspirational.

[@justburns1317]

I suspect piece of the 1st aftermarket turbo definitely made it's way through the block. I was shocked when you guys didn't take more apart to ensure it was sound before putting the new turbo on. Somehow survived dyno day like that..

[@lexkingvlogs1582]

Yes, this exactly.

[@angelhernandez-ln8ik]

Seems like a tuner problem

[@JonHop1]

@@angelhernandez-ln8ik Tuning the fk8 for power is easier said than done with these new direct-injection motors. Not a fan of the new direct-injection motors at all.. I am a Honda Tech and we deal with tons of blown up SI's and Type R's.. They are just not the most reliable engines for power increase.

[@justinviray9735]

Just here to appreciate Tim. We see you and your hard work Tim, you don’t go unnoticed! Keep working hard man, you’re awesome. Dustin, don’t give up. Everyone successful has failed numerous times. Keep on keepin on bud! 👍🏼

[@champcoupe]

If the stock oil pan isn't baffled, it's high probability that's where your oil starvation came from. I know it sucks. But it's apart of racing. Build it, race it, break it and do it all over again. But for sure look into a baffled oil pan. Good luck!

[@Prodigy70]

My dad recently blew up his 1k hp 8th gen Civic Si. Just cruising at 25 mph and it let go for some reason. It really sucks but now its on to bigger and better things. Sucks that you had to go through that at a 3 day event man. Bounce back!

[@audifreak918]

Tests like this make us all stronger bro. Rebuild the type r bro. Move forward. 👌

[@JDevil503]

After everything Dut keeps a big smile on his face and that means the world to us 🙏🏻

[@kennethhavoc6920]

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 💪

[@Fliique]

Loved the cinematography! i'm sure you guys will come back stronger!

[@dkylewhitley]

I know that had to be heartbreaking, but you and Tim definitely should be proud of what you've done so far. The car looked and performed amazingly until the motor gave. I can't wait to see all that's to come with you guys and the Type R!

[@karlsumida2848]

Rebuild, port and CC the head , aftermarket rods, big inspection of the oil pump

This is definitely a good learning opportunity. I spun a rod bearing on my 05 Subaru years back. I know the pain. You’ll do great! Keep up the content!

[@6speedRWD]

Sorry to see you go through this. For the rebuild of the engine, you should check out installing a Unit2 fabrication baffled oil pan to help prevent oil starvation.

[@BURN.365]

Sorry to hear about the engine. The car looked so good, the yellow headlights looked wicked! I know next year will be another story, look fwd 2 it!

[@Qius_Cars]

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! Hope to see you back up and running again soon man, I'm glad you're back into a Type R after the first one

[@emper8658]

+1 to this big facts about RV6 and Derek being the goat for the Honda/Acura platforms.

[@jrizzyjoe]

I blame the powermetrics tune. Seen enough being in the 10th gen community from their tunes blowing shit left and right all they care about is limits and power. Derek balances everything like a god. Derek is the GOAT. IMW is the move no if and or buts about it.

[@emper8658]

Hate to be that guy but you might wanna look for a new tuner. The type R’s motor CAN handle abuse. Either the previous owner did stuff before selling or the tune is just too aggressive.

[@coderock3]

I think it was the turner because even the last setup he had was only 350ish for a upgraded turbo was low thats fbo numbers i suggested redstar before but oh well

[@jacobrev6567]

Dustin don’t give up you still have a chance next year and don’t pressure yourself about the car

[@JonHop1]

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!

[@Aerospacegod]

Bro at the end of the day you showed up to prove to yourself that you could do it. Despite the results you still made it on time and set a great lap. You always have my support. Thanks for being such a great guy!

[@Felix.Garcia]

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.

[@TheGreatBabyPigs]

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.

You guys should absolutely be proud! Please don’t give up on the FK8, it’s such an amazing platform. Go back to the drawing board and get that motor built. Y’all will come back 1000X better.

Just a tad over 5000 miles from Cota, across the ocean I was so bummed for you and Tim when I saw that you were looking for a new engine! It is commendable how you and tim switched gears and started looking for possible solutions. I'm sorry they did not work out for you. While it ran the Type-R looked mean and sounded even meaner!
