Didn't another member have a similar oily incident after a first high power pull?

Another reason to NOT make a build thread until impressive dyno graphs and kickass videos are ready to be posted along with pics of the build. I should take note.

Fix it you Baller.

It'd be funny of a member local to Fae snuck over to his car and poured a bunch of oil under it. I guess there's no word on the cause, or the exact cause at least.

It isn't the oil leaking out.. It is the asphalt melting under the car.

Poor engine. You have to admit its been a very long ride for that engine if it did go. Decent dyno numbers, a million different configurations, the tuning learning curve learned on it, and all the rest of Fae's general shenanigans.

I bet It just couldn't cope with all the swearing at its sensitive internals. It just gave up and took its own life.

Silently sitting back and waiting for the report. Fae, there is a reason you don't see 600hp miata engines.

Stop being so smug Bill :P Fae is pushing the BP motor into new territory, which is no different to anyone pushing any other motor into new territory. I think it's pretty cool
