Still can't believe it took you this long to dive into ebc!
Was so frustrating to tune the pid of it at first when I didn't know what I was doing at all and then became less frustrating with practice and a lot of help. |

honestly they are pretty dang quiet unless it's really really cold like 32*F and below. I've run wisecos in this block twice. Once from 2004-2015 and now from 2017-2022. The wisecos that came out of the engine I could have reused bc they were in that good of shape but they were a 84mm bore and I went to 84.5mm this time around. I've had such good luck with wiseco I see no reason to run anything else especially not supertech bc IMO they are far far inferior to wisecos Just saw your latest YouTube video and your struggle fitting the Kraken low mount manifold was reminiscent of my own experience! It is a tight fit! Worth it for the extra performance, though. Really interesting you were able to get more ignition timing in compared with the FM manifold. Your car sounds amazing. :skid: |

Thanks Andy, you've convinced me. I've ordered 84mm 8.5 Wiseco's for my built engine.

It is a tight fit but totally worth it. So I have some bad news my turbo took a shit on me. I was tuning the EBC and it was 5th gear at 6000rpm holding 25psi... The turbo compressor wheel just took a bite out of the housing and then the chra just failed and it was a smoke show behind me. It was late at night and I made the mistake of driving about 6 miles back to my house. The car burned like 2qts of oil in that time and when I drained the oil it looked not the best but not the worst......I already have a gtx2867 that I'm gonna be fitting to replace the 2860, but the bigger issue is with the motor. I pulled the cam caps and they look great, but I'm not sure about the main/rod bearings. I'm gonna start it and let it run then drain the oil again and check for metal. I might be pulling the engine out to refresh the bottom end not sure yet.
Do you think, that it bit the dust, because you havn't had someone balance the assembly after changing the compressor wheel? I remember asking you a few months ago and right now I'm happy to say, that I have a balanced CHRA |

Hey Andy, sorry to hear that... Maybe you got lucky, my dad accidently drove his old bus with about 1/2 of the oil inside for like 50 miles and it survived! Remember that it didn't run all that long without far too little oil, the first few miles must have been with a somewhat okay oil level.

Do you have log at 25psi showing power? :giggle:

unfortunately no. Lol. I did the low boost setting 18 psi ramping up to 20psi. Then I went to do high Boost I got in like 2 pulls and then the turbo just ate itself alive. If my engine is infact ok this GTX 2867 should be nice.

Legit Garrett 2867 or a Pulsar?

Pulsar😬 Mike at kraken is a dealer I got it for 500 bucks or so. I thought I'm gonna give it a shot and see how it does. Especially since I'm not sure if my engine is ok right now

I've just recently heard about these Pulsar turbos. Was your previous turbo a genuine Garret? Keep us posted, and sorry to hear about the (more) carnage.

Hey Andy,
how's your engine? |

Hey Andy,
how's your engine? Upon entering the interstate we are greeted by a dodge charger so he wanted a piece and I obliged by rolling him up. Not 5 minutes later modded f80 m3 wanted some and I rolled him up as well. So the car seems to be ok lol. Only time will tell though |
And the 2867? Need to know these things :D
So glad your engine seems to be okay |
So many burritos to be tossed

Got a chance to datalog it tonight. Its running 18psi tapering up to 21psi by redline. I could turn it up more but the Deals Gap trip is coming up and I dont want to blow it up lol. The 2867 spools quite a bit slower but makes more power afrer 5500 rpm with less boost and lower IAT. The spool is slower but its still very good overall. This turbo feels like a ,86 hotside. Its stamped .64 but it was physically larger than the garrett housing so who knows, So far the Pulsar turbo is doing quite well but only time will tell the full story.

Looks a little like my 6758 spool up (pulsar seems a littttttle later, but not terribly so) — good stuff Andy!
