Just got a call from CletusFD3s. They said his engine is done....Now he just needs to pay for the thing and Ill post some pics.



His cost $500 for 6 pins. Also, they said the FD block had WAY more room for the pins than did the s4 block I gave them for testing..... Should be effing bulletpoof once we get the tune spot on.....





Now, got to figure out what the next project for them will be. Thinking light rotors or a two peice e-shaft with a hydro bearing in the middle.



Anyways Im pretty stoked.

Like we chatted about on AIM Greg, I'd like to know the difference in engine knock chamber pressures vs. that of a very high horsepower engine producing high chamber pressures. It seems to me that for anything under several hundred horsepower, this might not be useful. From what I understand, the necessity for pinning an engine in this manner is to prevent rotor housing to iron housing deflection. Anybody happen to have any experience with 500+hp setpus that produced actual deflection not from engine knock?



The cars 've tuned so far haven't ever exhibited this but I have seen busted dowel lands as low as ~300's rwhp due to engine knock.
