thanks.

ENGINE: *CP pistons probs more but cant think !!

*Eagle rods

*N1 oil pump

*Tomei sump baffles

*Tomei headgasket

*Tomei oil feed restrictors

*custom oil drian from the rear of the head to the sump

*balanced crank

*acl race bearings throughout

*N1 water pump

*Apexi cams ( not sure what lift)

*Aftermarket vavle springs

*Hks cam gears

*Hks timing belt

*Bigger Fuel pump

*700cc sard injectors

*adjustable fuel reg

*Nisstune ECU

*twin Garrett 2860-5s

*Huge intercooler

*Alloy radiator

*Front sway bar

*middle sway bar ( in photo of interior)

*rear sway bar

*Bilstein coilovers

*torque split controller( not working at the moment will try to get fixed before sale)

*drilled rotors

*gauges, oil pressure, boost

*Alpine headunit

If it was built right it should last as long as your usage implies.

If you pump your -5s to max capacity and run it on the knifes edge on the track every day of its life, you will get about as long a life span as you would any other race motor before it needs rebuild (not very long at all). Yet if you were to daily it and take exceptional care of it I anticipate it would possibly last as long as a factory built motor.

I would probably change that N1 oil pump to a Nitto or JUN item though, that is the weakest link at present.

The only way to know would be to strip it down which kind of defeats the purpose.

Who knows it could have been slapped together on the grass in someone's back yard with all the tolerances wrong and it might last a week, it could have had everything done perfectly at a shop and then run with no oil, or everything could be fine and it could last 100,000kms?

the speaker part was not ment to go in i just pasted and copied page lol...

the oil pump is it really a problem i drive it maybee 3 times a week and i dont thrash it everywhere i go. everything feels tight

it currently makes 314 kw but has made 450 kw with the old ecu that was pfc it now has a nistune because of defect

well.. if its lasted 3 years and is still running sweet today, not burning oil etc, im sure its been built some sort of standard - but as said earlier, it could go bang 2moro or could go for another 5 years - too many variables!

ok apparantly it didnt... saysss im just goin off what the original owner that built it from ice performance told me................................ thats all im not making up shitttttt if thats what u think

do u have any proof that the engine is even built? or did he just hand u receipts from when his friends, friends built a motor.

common misconception is that building a motor gives u fully awesome big power, when all it does is make the engine components stronger.

sure u can make 650rwhp and the motor will last 12months or you can run the same motor at 300rwhp and last 10years

  • Nope 1

do u have any proof that the engine is even built? or did he just hand u receipts from when his friends, friends built a motor.

I'd be thinking a similar thing.

If it was from ICE down here in Vic, I'd be even more worried... There were plenty of no-so favourable experiences that myself and several friends went through before they shut doors.

Defensive much? Perhaps those posters are thinking that whoever told you it made 450 is a liar, and therefore you cannot trust anything else this person has said to you.

Also

*middle sway bar ( in photo of interior) <= WTF??!!

*torque split controller( not working at the moment will try to get fixed before sale) <= if the controller doesnt work it will be taily but still put torque to the front wheels. If it doesnt, it could be expensive to fix.

*drilled rotors <= likely to crack with track use

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
