The NgoRX8 Build
3 Attachment(s)
Kicking off the new year with my own build thread finally.
For those who do not know, my engine gave in the week after sevenstock. Doing a 4th gear WOT run, I peaked at 15 psi and possibly held it for a while till 6000 rpm. I monitored my AFRs visually (which appeared fine) during the run but not the BC. Probably did not help that my tune/scaling was drastically off at the time (logging 500 g/s). Lessons Learned: Always set a Boost Warning/Drop Feature with the BC. Tune, Tune, Tune. Always run W/M at high boost. Blew the Front Rotor. Compression in Rotor 1 showed 40-60 psi through all 3 chambers. Car was still drivable, continued to boost 10+ psi just fine. The only symptoms that were shown were at idle: slightly rough, exhaust note sounded off, vacuum reading between 12-14 inHg when warm. Car continued to crank and start up normal most of the time. I continued to drive it up till Dec 31, where it finally hit 50,000 Miles. Thus, the tear down begins...

I really need to step up big time to be anywhere near Ngo's engine bay. So sexy...

Ngo has the sexiest engine bay out there. Also, I'm digging the mileage on the car.
So when does the tear down begin? |
