Grip Addict's project: it's always the small things

Whose fault is this? ATS or Nixspeed?

How much damage has been done?

I am happy with the work and post sales support Nick at Nix speed has provided.

How much damage has been done?

Fortunately, it appears that this was caught very quickly. I fished around with a magnet around the head and did not pick up any metal bits. The cam position sensor location is very close to an oil drain from the head so I think that what little that did break off just went straight down to the pan.

He is sending me a racerx cam position sensor to get me back up and running. I'm still not even in double digits for break-in miles, I'm looking forward to racking them up soon here.

Well, when something like this goes wrong so soon after build I always look at the builder. It’s just the way it has to be. Glad he’s there for you.

Glad it doesn’t seem to have wrecked anything!

another nice garage!

not bad for e10 93 octane
i'll be back for an e85 tune in a couple weeks.

That is an massive amount of power, certainly if it is wheel horse power.
Well done.

Thank you! This setup made as high as 382 at the wheels, but we backed it down a bit for safety.
I'm an absolute convert to the ctxona. It spools like my gtx2860r but it makes soooo much more power. I'm over a 100whp more than my last setup
at the same boost pressure. The drivability is superior in every way.

It appears that I'm going to have to install a bigger fuel pump to do the ethanol tune correctly. I'm going to also up the fuel feed line to 6an flexible PTFE hose and run a 10 micron microglass fuel filter.
I am really hoping to get that done before winter, but time is not on my side in Kansas City. It's beautiful now... but fall never gracefully ages out here. It goes from very pleasant to freezing on some random night and it stays that way for 4 months straight.

DAMN 360 is huge! Whats your boost? Im trying to get 350-400 at the end of my build. Are you strokered?

Thanks! This thing is really fun to drive. I'm just happy the speed finally matches the looks.
It's still a 2L but it is 9.5:1 CR. It's about 22ish psi on the E10 tune.
