Built Blocks -

[Woodshop77]

wsfrazier - I agree with you. But if you are going to the trouble of buying a built block, why not hedge the positives as much as possible? The minor cost will save regret later. (I regret not sleeving because I limited potential horsepower later)

Did a rod let go and help push a crack through the block?

Out of curiosity, what kind of 60's were you getting to run an 11.60? I am cutting 1.6x usually, and still can't do better than 12.0@112. Seems like Adam is sand bagging my tune to keep the motor in one piece.

EDIT: Nevermind I see you were on the vargas, I am still on stock turbo.

It's a risk I realize I am taking, however I wasn't willing to go full out sleeved block for a daily driver. I would get a dedicated track car if I wanted to go that in depth. I only got the motor cause of the nice discount I got. My factory motor is 100% fine, and it will sit in storage as my backup in case something happens. Esslinger didn't need a core in my case.

This car went 1.6000 on the stock turbo, stock motor combo and went 1.602 on the built motor Vargas. My 60' has always been pretty consistent.

Be happy that your tune is sand-bagged, or you'd be buying your 3rd motor. Ask me how I know.

Judging by his comments in his build thread, sounds like Adam/Tune+ isn't taking care of him or helping out, even though it was his motor and tuning.

Sucks.

Yeah, there was nothing done for me. All out of pocket, again. They say the 3rd time is the charm though, right?

That bites, why won't he replace your engine under warranty? Especially if it blew while you were doing datalogging for his tune?

So what is your take on the whole thing. Are you staying with the eco platform or are you getting something else?

There is a reason why a lot of us who are actually trying to build these cars right have ditched him
