Guest Guests Posted 01/12/08 03:37 AM Share Posted 01/12/08 03:37 AM Bad fuel will also kill an engine with 280rwkw & aggressive timing. Like I said before, tunes kill cars not peak power figures The main things to be mindful of with BA's are:- Keep midrange fairly tame to limit stress on Toothpicks... I mean Rods! - Don't run too much timing up top (to allow for bad fuel)- Stay away from the limiter to avoid smashing pump gears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it takes is a bad batch of fuel...Too much power will not kill a stock bottom end, too much torque would do it.. Bad batch will make a difference if its tuned right to the edge of detonation BEFORE the bad batch.Bad fuel will also kill an engine with 280rwkw & aggressive timing. Like I said before, tunes kill cars not peak power figures The main things to be mindful of with BA's are:- Keep midrange fairly tame to limit stress on Toothpicks... I mean Rods! - Don't run too much timing up top (to allow for bad fuel)- Stay away from the limiter to avoid smashing pump gearsKeep torque down (ie, power) coming on boost, avoid detonation/pinging especially at the region coming on boost, and dont load up the engine in a taller gear in a manual.Its been proven you can push HIGH RWKW out of these engines, but keeping a nice balance of midrange torque, and precice boost control And yeah, Don't bounce of rev limiter as that will hurt your pump.... and your pocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont know how f*cked up the driver before you was???Is there a test that can be done to check and see if your oil pump is going to disintegrate? Does your oil pressure drop when it is on the way out? Just curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
