You got me all wrong man. I've been many times. Just not 2 1/2 hours away from home. Best I've ever run was 12.9 at 111. That was about 1 1/2 years ago though.



You just wait
Now not wanting to race far away from home I can understand. I was just busting ***** cause i thought i heard you say once you didnt wanna race @ capitol incase you snapped an axel.

But I'll be waiting. You'll buy some DVD player for your Geeride before you ever get a turbo the way your going lately.

Something is messed up with my fans, so I just wired them to a switch. At the time I didn't have datalogit, I'll have to go back and find the problem and then control it with the PFC.

Ok I took it apart to day and the rear stationary bearing was toast, also killing the e-shaft in the process. All 3 apex seals on the rear rotor were blown right in the center on the seal. Cause alot of damage to the rotor and rotor housing, but nothing else. I was expecting much worse. I don't know why the bearing got ate up, oil starvation? Everything was done to spec,



So here is the question: If timing was mess up as IGY stated would it kill all 3 apex seals? Or did one just take out the rest? I think the engine died at peak torque, would a bad stationary gear cause all the apex seals to go?



I will post some pictures of the beat up e-shaft, rotor and bearing.



Anyone have some FD rotors or Zenki FC rotors they want to get rid of???

Really odd that the rear stationary gear bearing let go...I've only seen 2 bearings go and both were fronts.



Todd, what boost do you want to eventually run? I'm sure you could convince IGY to send you a map.

wait, wait, wait....you said that all 3 apex seals were blown in the CENTER...you have any pics? The first motor I blew I fucked up the timing and it blew out the centers in all 3 of the apex seals also.
