FWIW, Tial technical support is top notch. They were working intently with me on my bov flutter issue. Couldn't ask for a better company to work with.

My choices are limited with the Fast Intention cast manifolds. The right thing to do would be to have a set of custom tubular exhaust manifolds made and put in a pair of G35-900. Unfortunately, money will limit what I do. I do not have an unlimited budget.

At your power level you almost need an unlimited budget :tup:

It would make things go faster, that is for sure. I am making do, it just takes longer.

The Video that he posted a month ago where he's doing part throttle and hits 16 psi of boost ?

Yup

AMS uses these on there Alpha 15 kits with huge 4inch intakes and 3.5 inch down pipes. Doing something like that in Z for sure would be all custom would be a bad*** setup though

Well, I have driven it twice since the last O2 code. No issues. As long as I get the cylinder temps up, all is well. It does have something to do with the fuel I am running since I do not run pump E85. Vince warned me of it when he tuned the car. He said to look out for a little stumble until I get the cylinder temps up. The only time I get an O2 code is when i putt around.

Down to my last barrel of E90. About time to order some more. LOL Thank goodness I don't have to put my car away like you folks do up north. I would be miserable. Nick's startup map works like a champ. Starts first try.

Carbon z posted his car for sale with his turbo specs listed

WOW, oh well. Guess he is giving up. Where did he post it?

I will never sell mine. When I build one, I normally keep it forever.

Facebook. Says he’s gunna put it on bring a trailer if someone from the Z group doesn’t want it

75k for a car the will still blow up. Rjm **** is crap. There closed deck blocks are 25/75 at best. VR30 crowd is finding out how bad it is.

So RJM is making closed decks for VR30? That is quite comical if so.

Are guys already turning them up that far to lift the heads? If so, WOW.

AMS has an 800hp package for the Qs.

They didn’t lift heads. The block failed.

They are also working on a lA sleeved long blovk package

WOW, a block that is worse than the VQ. Where did it fail? Sleeve or did it crack between the head stud and main studs?

Rjm deck failed

??? Would need to see pictures. If they are saying the sleeve is still moving, that is the same as what would happen with the VQ.

I actually purchased a RJM block. How is it failing??

The RJM closed deck is just pressed in. The CSS close deck is acutally machined into the block with a 3 or 4 axis CNC. The RJM still allows the sleeves to move too much. The fix will be what SOHO does with the top fuel hoops and the CSS closed deck. Mark at Mazworx is upgrading his engine setup right now. It will be in the testing phase sometime soon.

Well ****. Thanks for letting me know.

He's selling his car and doesn't even know what size turbos he has lol. He has it posted with twin 68mm turbos on Facebook and Instagram that's not even close to the correct size.

That info is buried back in my thread somewhere. I thought the Mazworx setup would hold but it didn't the way he built my engine. I am tired of being the test mule. Whatever I do next time has to be proven. SOHO is the only one to have done that for now. I am sure Mark will get it.

Cannot provide. He deleted it after showing me. If rjm doesn’t handle the situation in house I’m sure Fb will announce it

Don’t know why you would ever purchase anything from rjm.

Protect the crook. LOL

Had no clue there was issues

As long as it is not in the car you have a couple of choices on how you want to address it. If the engine is already machined and assembled just keep the boost turned down to around 800whp or lower depending on what other stuff you have done and what compression ratio you are running.

When they pull your engine apart out of curiosity ask them if the head studs were loose. I've seen it happen with plenty of arp lube and torqued to 95lbs after a couple hundred miles they loosen up, no one has been able to really give me a straight up answer as to why that happens. ARP claims you don't need to retorque them after the first heat cycle, and honestly very few people probably do considering the amount of work required to do so.

Not sure what the torque setting of the headstuds were. I would think they were set higher than 95 ft/lbs. But that is info that is keep close by the builder. We won't know their process or their TQ settings. Not something that is given out.

As far as me giving up any secrets. I won't do it. I paid for it. If you want that knowledge in your engine, you can do the same. Or you can do it as many times as it takes to get it right.

Not in the car yet. Has been assembled. Not sleeved. Compression is 10.1

What whp are you shooting for? That will determine if it will hold or not.

Google history will tell
You. Id sell that crap junk and buy a css.

800

Pop a high-quality MLS on it and use ARP 625's. It will last for a while. That is right where the danger zone starts.
