I am glad you can afford to do that. Tell us what the weak link is after the event, so I know what to upgrade as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Opt 5 twin plate is the weak point after that....then the tailshaft. My skinny rods and stock oil pump are also the issue and need to survive their fourth Powercruise! Grudge racing sounds fun, keen for that!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eff xr6t Member 569 Member For: 10y 6m 29d Posted 12/07/16 10:45 AM Share Posted 12/07/16 10:45 AM You still have the stock ba turbo rods with 400+kW don't you@IH8TOADS. Have you considered doing the spool rods with standard piston combo for the peace of mind. I'm worried about my stock el rods holding up to 1000m runs when I turn it up to 450+kW wish my piston had floating gudgeon pin so I could put rods in easy without having to go full built.

IH8TOADS Silver Donating Members 3,618 Member For: 18y 9m 20d Gender: Male Location: OZ Posted 12/07/16 04:24 PM Share Posted 12/07/16 04:24 PM ^^ mad bugger haha. I thought I was keen. I re-tested the compression with Tony when I thought Inhad bent a rod and it came back at 180 to 185 so I reckon there was an issue with the last gauge I was using. Rods have crossed my mind a lot!! I really just need to get a motor built and ready to drop in. One day!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
