My car makes 800nm on the Edge dyno, the Soarer was making 1200nm at 10psi. Torque is what kills rods I imagine, and this had it in bulk. It would have been stressed from the previous runs, but the sintered rods just fracture and let go, no bending etc like you would see on a forged rod before it failed.
Yes, the Evo is running, just a few small issues to sort out and I can fit the 1400's and tune it.
