I have an engine sitting in my back yard with a gaping big hole in it proving otherwise.Sorry Jim, I don't blame you, but my engine blew with the exact same power figure.I knew that power was pushing it, and I told Jim that. Once I drove it, I was addicted, and told him to leave it as is. (After wanting Jim to detune it back to 330)Goodluck mate... But it will let go. I'd put money on it. The BA motors just aren't strong enough. Upgrade the internals sooner rather than later. In the meantime, get it detuned, and save your block.

The gearbox is just a "torque multiplier" so the only thing that "should" change is the torque and not the power or the way the graph peaks.As we use a Dynapack Hub Dyno, Different gears do not give different power readings.As for ExAreSix, I know you don't blame me for your engine failure. As I recall your engine had been previously tuned and pinging prior to me. All the risks were explained before we commenced any work and tuning. All my customers that have had my kits from start to finnish have achieved these power levels safely and consistently with no problems.Like I explain to all my customers, there is no such thing as a "Safe" power level, safe boost or safe afrs . An engine can still blow at 250kw with no modifications on it at all and just a tune. It is about the engine not "detonating" or "pinging". This is where most of the damage occurs.CheersJim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
