Anyone know roughly the HP limitations of the stock main bearings? I just recently tore my engine down and was thinking that I should upgrade the mains to King Race Black series like I run in my rods. I'm about the 400 whp mark but if guys are still running the stock bearings with no dramas I...

Hey guys After 25000 kms on my built motor I have coolant leaking into Cyl #3. Will be tearing it down next week and buy a 2.0 Fusion/Mondeo(in Aus) block. Has anyone had a MLS gasket fail? Mine was a Supertech one. It's possible I have a cracked head as it was making some power but I'm...

Hey all I recently got a new long block due to a cracked No.2 piston. I've decided to beef up the bottom end of this new 2019 engine (for my 2017 EB) and I need a shopping list of parts. I'm thinking Manly pistons and rods maybe, a racing head gasket and good head bolts. Can anyone recommend...

Went to the strip for a street test n tune tonight. Trapped 111.4, 110.8 and 109 in that order. They call them Pzero's because they literally do have zero traction. Mine is an auto and I was spinning through first second and part of third. The track may as well have been covered in ice. I...

Anyone able to tune out their boost spikes between gears in their A/T? Mine will boost spike between 2 and 4 PSI between gears. The boost spike is happening over a 0.4 second duration. Can this 'spike' effectively be tuned out by your tuner adjusting the WGDC or is the stock WG solenoid too...

I'm in the process of checking my spark plug gaps as I'm now at 5000 km and would like to carry out a comp test with my snapon tester for a baseline/health check while the plugs are out. Does anyone know the preferred method to carry out a compression test on these DI engines? I usually just...

Currently running Cobb stage 1 93 tune latest revision. Anyone had any dramas with their A/T deciding to override your paddle shifts with trans in 'S' and driving mode in Sports+ or track? Was doing a few 0-100kmph runs today and my A/T was deciding it would shift itself (short shift in fact)...

Hey guys. Happy to be here on this awesome forum been lurking for a couple of months until I took delivery of my 2017 2.3T a couple of weeks ago. Have owned a lot of performance based cars over the years from Cordia/Starion turbos, Supras, Vr4, and 300zx to name a few. Yes I am a gen X old...
