Yes, the bottom end has a rather stupid 12mm thick main girdle, will post up some pics when I do the rest of that article. Basically all the caps were machined flate and the girdle is sandwiched on top with 10mm studs holding it all together. Th ehad has custom made 11mm head studs instead of the factory 10mm, I Was concerned about 10mm size studs and 60ft/lb of torque holding down 800hp and 40psi![]()
I'll be interested to se if it stays together too. Already had 1 oiling system drama, these 1G's really do have a poor oil system, I've never heard of an engine having so many drama's smashing big ends, and once again, no its not the tuning, if the thing stays in 1 piece, I have no doubt that with 35psi up its arse it will run an 8, I'm being realistic and hoping that at 30-35psi it should make 730hp, although most of the calculations and tesing we have done point towards it making over 800, I just can't be certain as to what happens to turbo efficiency when we get to that power level, if it drops away, so too will the projected power output.
