squeeze had some faulty injector and a cylinder let go (that was almost last year I think) not sure about coop but based on the numbers I saw him pushing, id say the same as the nismo, too much torque for stock rods. I'm pretty confident my bearings are shot due to the underdrive pulley as mentioned. |

Mine died 15 months ago cylinder number 2 took a dump on me. Nismo Blew a few holes in his block just drove the thing way to hard, to many 170mph pulls on 12 pounds. Coop tracked his car and was up there in power like Nismo he got lucky that he didn't blow a hole in his block.

Boosting a stock high compression NA engine is not for the timid. Nor is it for those who will get hungry for more power and just turn the boost up. Do I want more power? Hell yeah, but I keep telling myself that I'm pushing my luck as it is. So more power will have to wait. Maybe even longer than I was originally thinking.....
