If I wanted a track or drift car that would be a good start. Body's not in bad nick, though. It's what these idiot P platers should be buying and storing instead of spending 10k on an N/A version of that.

almost a week untill the piece of shit gets tuned.

aw yes

scotty, hows cihan as a tuner?

heard all the good stuff lol

nice.

do recommend. gave positive feedback and seems to know his stuff. struggled big time to book him in. he just chose to not rock-up a couple of times...

however, we'll see what sort of damage there is in my engine first...

He knows his stuff, but it's a hobby for him these days, and his work comes first. It can make him difficult to contact.

What fuel were you running?

Can you prove that a lack of E85 wasn't the reason?

yeah because springs broke, causing rockers to scratch, causing cam lobes to be damaged.

all the while bottom-end bearing fails, rod comes loose, whacks the block and scratches piston an cylinder walls.

would E85 prevented that and engine would still be running 100%? I think not.

would the tuning required for E85 continually melt my external ignition coil? possibly.

would the extra power/torque cause enough power/torque to destroy my headset? possibly.

would the 50L fuel tank need constant jerry cans on standby? probably.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
    • i need a complete tail light for my R33 GTR if you have please let me know.
