Know your limits

Sooo. i found the limitations on an 82-T. After yet another engine rebuild and tune with new bits i have broken it again, and am nearing divorce at a great rate of knots. EA82-T+Highflowed VF24+forgies+Rods+prepped crank, o'ringed block+big squirters and pump and massive duration cams=Fun. Buuut, all of the above+gas+tolulene and 7psi more=catastrophy. I bent a crank and 2 rods and destroyed an engine block. I have salvagable pistons, maybe, and a sump. Was spectacular to say the least. Made the most disheartining noise known to man. Anyway, we made high 400 crank horsepower before it went burrrddddd thud bang. Guess thats all it would cop. Watch this space for the new engine build. EJ20G+Brian Crower 2.2 kit and cams, T04Z and lots of money

400 HP ?! I have got something to look forward to then with my budget tinkering
just so long as I keep it below 400.
Next time, think of the rest of us and video it, imagine charging a few bucks to everyones credit card who wanna hear or see it - pay for the next engine encounter

Thats simply insane!!!
I thought 250hp was about the limit of the internals.
Have you got any dyno graphs you could post up, id love to see the torque curve and how much it differs from standard

Good move on the EJ swap. Those poor old EA motors are just not worth the effort when the EJ will slip straight in it's place and make half as much power again, stock.
Keep us informed....
