Message but out of 4 high comp TT engines 2 blew up. I dunno 50% survival rate doesn't sound too good to me.

Carl races his car, which means extreme stress, and is running fairly high boost levels. I think if he was running 8.5:1 comp at 14psi and race gas, his chances of engine failure are probably far less.

sfpearl's car is a DD and he drives it really hard in my opinion and puts lots of miles on it. He also ran pretty high boost levels. Now it's knocking and making scarey pieces sounds.

I'm not saying that this doesn't and couldn't happen on the 8.5:1 engine, but I don't see %50 of TT people saying they blew there engines within a few months of ownership.

I'm guessing your car is not a DD, so it gets used way less use than their cars, and you probably run more conserative boost, 7psi-10psi.

You should feel grateful yours hasn't blown yet. I'm not here to argue just stating what has happened and still believe that a engine built for boost is more reliable than one not

2+2=4; 2+0=2; 4>2 : 2+2 > 2+0.

Can anyone whos removed the headlights just by going through the turn signal hole, post a pic of their arms? Im just wondering if you have little tiny arms, or if you can somehow dislocate your wrists?...Im not saying im huge or anything, because im not - Ebola 23:10:42 01/20/05
