Not sure If its a Chinese whisper, however, I've been told once u crack over 600awkw u would expect to pull down and refresh the engine every 5000km as the bearings lose tolerance, rods stretch etc...is this true? I was actually looking at buying an r34gtr which made over 600awkw but didn't for this reason.

Btw great result u should be ecstatic :)

Marko there is some validity to that though this can be avoided by detuning it to 599awkw but be sure to use a mainline dyno for accurate results.

+1 :worship:

I know an accurate dyno out a Giarraween :thumbsup:

What retard told you that Marko?

maybe if it was using alloy rods as they expand more and also stretch/fatigue over time but even then good ones should last 20,000km with street/track use. though saying that, if you are going to that extent in your engine you probably arent using it on the street much if at all and are unlikely to leave the rods without checking them until one does let go.

If you look at extreme setups such as a drag car which is running thousands of HP, they need to be pulled down after each 5sec run, my mates dad has a 5sec drag car and he tells me the stories which is just mind boggling so u need to be rich with sponsorships.

Yeah I've heard it from a few guys actually but wasn't sure how true it was as to me, pulling it down every 5000km would be painful. 20000km on the other hand wouldn't be sooo bad for car which isn't a daily driver.

I was interested in buying Envy motorsports 'the jetters edge' r34gtr a while ago and he killed the sale when he told me it had its routine 5000km rebuild.

The veyron doesn't have a 5000km rebuild service interval so I'm guessing if you use the right parts, get the right person to assemble and tune it properly you will be fine?

Yeah but the veyron is an 8 Litre 16 cylinder engine. Not a 2.5 Litre 6.

Nytsky's engine is producing 91kW per cylinder, while the veyron is only pushing out 46kW per cylinder.

Thats a lot less strain on each cylinder. Also the veyron engine is built to the most ridiculous of tolerances in a humidity and temperature controlled room that is 100% dust free.

So your not really comparing apples with apples.

Nytsky, very awesome effort! However, what in the hell are you going to do with 546kW in a RWD car? lol

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
