on the same note, the first thing I thought of when I saw the pics is that this car cannot be taken seriously with that plenum... Every car I see it on, I chuckle to myself; it is a joke. Please convince the owner to man up to the fact it is junk and replace it with a proper plenum

other than that, kind of premature on any congrats; I anxiously await the new fuel system and retune. Do you have any pics of the blown motor? My buddy just picked up a G35 with a blown motor that you could look straight through from one side to the other courtesy of what I would guess was a run up to at least 11K RPM @ 9 psi

 

just curious but how maxed out where those 440 injectors? 450whp on 440s is alot. just curious though because im stuck in the same spot. (financial issues)

 

Hey Louie.

Yes, and as I stated the car is still on the E-Manage blue, just for now at least.

 

The injectors are about out of steam at this power level, close to 100% duty cycle. We did lower the boost down a pound or so to 9psi for him to drive around on the meantime with, untill he brings it back in for the upgrades.

 

I have expressed my openion to the owner about his choice of intake, but it is up to him to keep it on or go with something else.

I agree, I am in no way looking for any congratulations from anybody, I too am anxious to see what this car will make with the planed upgraded work we have set aside for it.

No sory, I did not take any pictures of what was left of the engine, I will see what we have left of it, and maybe take some of it for you, it was a mess, might have already been picked up by the recycler guy that comes by for our scrap alluminum, steel, copper, etc.

 

sounds nice...get off that e-manage immediately though!!! get an fcon!!!

 

Not Good!

 

Hahaha, I know, I know.......... This is amongst the very next things that will be changed on the car next month.

 

This thread should be changed to 'help, what's wrong and what needs to be changed...'

As already pointed out, they're are issues with this car's build/components and if not addressed will lead to another blown ra motor, or the same below average performance...

 

 

RA did not build the first motor.

 

Did the customer have a timing harness on the eManage blue?

 

Yes

 

changing the EMS to the split second box is considered an upgrade?

 

Yes, I believe it is. You would be shocked with what we can obtain with the JWT SS box.
