Lessons learned on the TT install

What was your time around the ring?

Think you might need a sundial.

TLDR: Avoid AAM

Seriously, nice post. I was looking for honest feedback and this thread helped me discard AAM for the future. I'm glad I have removed that AAM sticker on my car. I must have gained back all my original power now.

My time is 07.58 BTG

And yes, i would only consider AAM if you can get a very good financial deal on a kit second hand. If youre in the market for a new kit, go with something like FI, BP or Soho makes.

I also have aam kit and I had them install the kit. Really hard to deal with. That being said I'm really happy with the performance. I plan on making some changes, probably send it to Z1 motorsports. To finish everything.

SO, as any self respecting Turbo Z owner would do, I blew my engine at the track ( piston disintegrated at 7500 )

Im in the middle of swapping blocks ( and upgrading my retuern fuel line, and "reflect a gold"'ing the engine bay, and adding the braniac dash kit, etc etc)... I know that spot with the 180 degree fitting... Its really a weird spot. If the fitting position if off by a hair, your line ends up touching... same as the driver coolant lines... a whole lot of finesse to get everything to meet clearances.

If considered dei sleeves for the lot.. luckily enough, i dont see any signs of burn or deterioration in those lines as of yet.

The other spot of concern it the silicone intake fitting to the compressor.... likes to nudge up against the manifold and cinge. im considering just wrapping the clamp with lava wrap to make a buffer.

Im also working on 2.5 hose to 1.5 aluminum elbow that slips through the frame rails and elbos up for a fresh intake air source. I hope that also introduces some extra air to mitigate some heat soak as well.

Thanks for sharing.. Do you think the failure was due to fueling?

I dont think that it was anything fuel related that made the car go boom... The car was properly tuned for flexfuel and I was running e85 on that day. Fuel pressure has also been consistent through all of my logging and tuning..

tbh, the engine had seen a lot of track time and mountain runs among other things, so the abuse was more than any normal engine gets.

The engine going in now - ill back it off a bit until i get the $$$ to build the engine.... I dont want to think about limits moving forward... I want to hammer and still have reserve in the engine...

This second time around is actually a fun experience, though id rather be rolling down the road instead of under the car on a creeper
