Simon about how much longer you going to be without a car?.......sorry if I opened an old wound but I remember reading about the demise of the old motor[&:]....

Yeah, I noticed your motor sitting there. Unlike you, I didn't have the luxury of waiting for Clutchmasters CNC guy's machine to start working.......so I just got a single disk. A twin is still in the future!

Pics next week boys!

Well it was supposed to be ready June 3rd but Manley for some strange reason ran out of the valves I needed so after several weeks of bitching, Manley finally delivered. Then he told me the clutch was hazed and the disc needed replacement. We discussed it andI told him to get a new disc from RPS and call it good. A few weeks later I asked himif he had received thedisc and he hadn't taken care of it yet (he's a busy man no sweat) and when it cametime to put the car back together he went to order the clutch and dicovered the clutch probably won't hold the power the car will make. So . . . he talked me into a Clutchmasters Twin disc setup that is almost identical to the GT500 clutch only ceramic. He orders them often and get them a few days after ordering. Then the CNC machine went down that creates the billet steel flywheels for clutchmasters. After some scraping for a new CNC machine, Clultchmasters got it together and should be delivering the flywheel today or this week some time. I'm hoping it got there today so I can fly down next week and get the car.

I confirmed with STS the turbo is good to 600 rwhp so we will see what Adam can squeeze out of it. Adam predicted 525ish on pump gas and 600 on 100 octane. We will see.

OH and he said, "You should put 'Professional Motor Blower' in your sig cause you did a number on this thing."

He said when it blew, it sent pieces all the way through the intake and filled my intercooler with radiator fluid. I drained the fluid a few days after the explosion and only needed to undue one bolt to drain the radiator fluid and the oil. That one bolt was the oil plug. Not good. Not like the hole pushed out on the side of my block was any better.


I'd say castostrophic failure is a good desciption of what happen to the that poor motor.

I am seeing 120-169 degree IAT's on the 3.4. I believe mine are higher due to the pulley I have on. I am seeing 20 lbs of boostwhen I punch itThe 3.4 just allows you to run a little more boost on pump gas.
