after 5 years, different states of tune. a few melted pistons and a head because of fuel pressure loss, the engine block eventually let go this summer.. small crack developed in sylinder 3.. it did not overheat when this happenes, and no knock.. not sure why it cracked, but hey, it lasted 5 years of experiments.. clutch, some seals, a couple of manifolds(before we learnt the tricks) tranny wear and tear and diff.
the rerouted cooling system, twin oil coolers++ seems to keep everything in check. The ecu also has safeguards for overboost, overtemp, ++ and it has saved my butt a couple of times. all in all, i have had less problems running the 400ish whp engine, than i had running a 1.6 and greddy kit.
