Dammm, can we have a moment of silence.................................. Sorry to hear that. Good luck bro.

 

I've been running on stock internals with my GT700 for more than a year now with absolutely no problems at all.

Don, have you been able to determine if this motor failure caused by boost, detonation or over-rev? If you over-rev a stock motor it will blow (has happened many times in turbo and N/A cars such as the CGT)

Wouldn't too much boost just lift the heads or bend a rod?

 

DMK - waht was th emileage on the car. I think I have pretty much the same set up as you. The car gave on pump? holly crap! LEt me know I think Jags and I want to dual the motor build. I beat the crap out of my car and its been lucky but this just makes you think. Steve(porschephd) chime in with a group IA motor build price. I think Jags and I will bite.

Again DMK sorry to hear that. GL

 

Joe, I heard that it had a massive range 2 over rev stored in the ECU........

 

Would'nt the easier and more cost effective route to blowing a motor be to swap in some good rods?

 

Yep, that's what I figured, that'll do it everytime. That would blow up a completely stock car. From what he wrote, it sounds like he went from 5th to 4th instead of 6th at 150mph

 

As for a new car s7 in may 1000 hp will be fine for the year its goin to take. Plus the bike that will be back in a month makes 800whp should do the trick for now! For the new motor maybe 5 liter twin turbo For the over rev in the computer. It was nothing porsche has every seen I was 6 k over according to the computer. WHICH WAS NOT TRUE. I was on the 101 did not shift nothing got into boost BOOM!

GT 700 kit forsale anyone?

 

very sorry to here about your motor, maybe one of the speed cameras on the 101 will have a nice picture of it...(now i'm just kidding) Best of luck in the building of your new motor, you have a very good looking car btw... how about 2 6's inline for a flat 12 with 4 turbos??

 

sorry to hear your car look amazing

 

23/25psi what does that equate to in psi?

 

23/25 psi equates to exactly...23/25 psi... or maybe you want to convert to bar...23 psi=1.58bar 25 psi = 1.74bar so says the online converters....Kevin

 

all this and no pix?!

 

1.74 Bar...Wow !!!

This could bring forward a very interesting discussion on

External Boost Controller VS ECU controlled boost.

 

That comptuer just reads what the car did, nothing more nothing less. As a matter of fact, it's usable as evidence in court and has been used in warranty denial cases.

Wow...I thought that you were joking when you said that you were ready to "blow the motor up" after our drag day

 

Marty, do you think the rods think 1.74 bar on an EBC is any different from 1.74 bar with Motronic boost control? ...Kevin
