Makes the N1 block you had 12 years ago sound cheap now. 🤣

Yep agree. New N1 block is $6k+ now which is a bit of a rip off for what it is.

And from what I’ve seen the new n1 blocks aren’t any where near as good as the old ones

That's still all hearsay really, I don't think anyone actually knows. Some say better than old N1 because of higher rumored nickel content, blah blah. If the PRP tests on the old N1 are anything to go by it's still not worth it over an 05U.

had arp2000 head studs in it and was torqued down to arp specs 

I know power can cause blocks to crack due to twisting, I’m just not sure if it can cause them to crack where this is 

Yeah I'm not an expert in this sort of issue, best to talk to the engine shop. But I understand if you bottom out a stud in it's hole this could be possible, same if there was some sort of fluid in the bottom of the hole under the stud. 

I would have thought twisting under power issue would show up between cylinders  middle/rear  of the engine...if so time for a shiny purple block brace...

Me either could have been a number of things including the block just being weak in those areas. At the moment I’m looking into a couple of block options

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
