Dude was whining about 18k for a built motor. I am calling it, Mall Crawler....
He will be asking for a sponsorship soon. I can tell it.

I saw your posts.:rofl2: That was great! :owned:

Where can I read the full conversation?

1 Rule: No Drama

I am sorry but I was rolling after I saw that. :inoutroflpuke:

Elmo, is this where you posted my dyno graphs? Don't post my stuff there. I feel like I have been violated by the MyFace crowd. Dang man, I got to take a shower now.

No f aq’s given when it comes to mike mixon

No I didn’t post in that group.

I saw his graph posted on Instagram. It was posted by @trackdaytherapy.

So things are kept in context. The closed deck thing is not the issue with head gaskets blowing. Pretty much anyone attempting to make up to 1000whp blew their head gasket. The closed deck was thought to be a panacea for that but it still did not deal with cylinder pressures like everyone thought it would. It still not a bad thing just not the right thing to deal with the issue at hand. It may not be needed in that equation but let's face it we all look for the next best thing that will get the outcome we are looking for and it is all the rage until it's not!

Well that's my story for now and if my closed deck build fails...well I will join the others in the it was fun until it went boom club!

Seb put together your motor it’s not going to fail. But I’m
Curious to what he did with your heads

All these post I have been putting up are to help people be informed and not join the blown headgasket club. We can always keep the boost at a lower level and stay safe. That is really the big question. What level is safe. I thought I new about what that was but there is so much misinformation out there it is hard to tell. It does come down to cylinder pressure. So if you are at 11:1 compression the boost level will be much lower than someone with 9:1, 9.5:1, or 10:1. People trying to make 900hp blew their headgaskets with a closed deck block.

By the way, the cylinders will still rock with the RJM closed deck. That has been confirmed. I am not sure about the CSS. If you call and ask JWT what to do for a high HP turbo build, they will tell you to sleeve the block.

That was the big disappointment with the RJM closed deck, everyone was counting on it to handle the cylinder pressure and stop the cylinder rock. It is all about next. Hell people are driving oem motor and interals with 700whp now and that was not even considered a thing a few years ago.

That is because they have them de-tuned to reduce cylinder pressure so the rods will live. I wouldn't worry about your engine. Seb will know exactly what he can and can't do. He has done a ton of testing.

As you all know Chris F. and Brian are good friends because they did Formula Drift together when Chris lived on the east coast. Everyone knows that Chris went to a VR38 engine. The reason, he went through an engine every event when he was running the VQ37HR. They tried everything to keep the heads from lifting. His next step was to Sleeve the block with Darton MID sleeves. If you go back and look at his Instagram stories he has one driving back to the pits and the engine was rattling. His statement was, "She's tired". That is exactly what it sounds like if you pop a headgasket. So I just skipped through all that experimentation and went straight to the Darton MID sleeves. I just saw no reason to do anything else.

Back to a video.

Closed deck block “ never had any failures”

https://drifting.com/this-year-amspe...ssion/drifting

Ahh found it. Failure

LOL, I wasn't going through all that chit. NO WAY IN HELL!!!

You can see the LA dry sleeve in that block. Guess that didn't work either. That would have been a miserable 2 years.

Elmo370z, I guess we can take that list of highest HP Z's that was posted on Facebook and start checking off the ones that have blown headgaskets and we haven't heard from again. Let's get out of the shadows and start bringing the truth to light.

Yeah good luck, you know they don’t speak on it mich

This is brutal. Ready to go pick up my car and have some fun.

Vince get all the tuning done?

Yup, he may have even scared himself a bit. LOL I know he got to drive the car on the street this time.

:excited:

You’ll be getting it back at a good time; as cooler dense air is otw :eek:
Tires may feel greasy :icon14:

Every one Yada Yada Yada's about boost weather. In a higher Hp Z it just makes it more difficult to get traction. Greesy, ah no. More like dangerous. Have to drive longer to get heat in the tires. Pass a car and cross over the white lines, The car wiggles across those lines while you hope it stays somewhat straight. I prefer 80 degs and up.

My miata does fine in cold weather

You will find out soon enough.

By the way, just because it has turned cold outside my car won't be parked. I will continue to drive it year around. I spent all this money to enjoy the car. I won't be driving some daily driver boring car.

:driving: :wtf2:

As you should. Sometime I wish I built mine to be driven everyday

Any day old man :driving:
Keep waiting & you’ll be strapping on some All-Season’s :tiphat:

The Rack has your size’s in Runflat All-Season’s :tup:
I know you ‘ont like them; but they’ll be much safer through the winter :driving:

LOL, Ah good luck with that. If the weather gets crazy enough I will drive my truck. Just Say "NO" to all seasons. I am still working from home and won't go back to the office until next year some time.

That would be a death trap
