JUST BEFORE ROTATION & DURING CLIMBOUT FROM RWY 26L THE ENG STARTED SURGING. THE ACFT MADE A LEFT TURN, INTO THE WIND, & THE STUDENT PLT ATTEMPTED TO LAND ON RWY 8R. THE ACFT BECAME MISALIGNED, OVERSHOT THE RWY, & MADE A HARD LANDING IN THE GRASS ABOUT 200 FT NORTH OF RWY 8R. NO ENG MALF WERE FOUND. HOWEVER, THE ACFT WAS REJECTED BY ANOTHER PLT THE DAY PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. THE PLT INDICATED THAT THE ACFT WAS NOT ACCELERATING PROPERLY, BUT DID NOT WRITE UP THE DISCREPANCY. A MECHANIC REPORTEDLY RAN THE ENG FOR THE OPERATOR BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS NO MENTION OF THE INCIDENT OR ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION IN THE ENG LOG OR OTHER OPERATOR MAINTENANCE RECORDS. THE ACFT WAS 62 LBS OVER MAX GROSS WEIGHT.
