The NEXT step after ecoboost is ELECTRIC.

it really is incredible.. i agree... but dont be a "douche" and say anything. Trust me, its not worth it.

The concern on your end (with the engine getting hot like it possibly did).. is wanting to make sure the head isnt warped and the headgasket isnt compromised. A leakdown test fills the cylinder with air pressure (and ALLL engines will have SOME leakage somewhere)... YOU just want to make sure...

I think 98 saleen puts his car in the street though. He probably knows EXACTLY how fast it is in the 1/4 mile also. I mean.. he is probably pushing the car hard.

well.. he is also at 1200HP. u lose motors at that level from time to time. But if u feel like u dont need a fresh set of eyeballs or have an underlying issue. u dont have to.

@freebird50 ... this guy is a hardcore cobra guy, this is great advice. ALSO... the builder had issues with blowing out spark/ AND a mass airflow issue AND it kept smokin alternators... He even had you go COIL ON PLUG ignition. I would heed 98s advice..... hes got a 1200HP cobra alive and...

i know u invested alot of money into this and respectfully, it needs to be put right. Probably something small, but sometimes the small stuff really matters. SOMETHING burnt up those alternators. Its probably had a small electrical issue since day 1. it happens. Hopefully someone chimnes in with...

its a joke. In this particular case, it was suggested in another thread that this particular car has electrical woes or an underlying issue. he burnt up 5 alternators. FIVE. They ran 26 pounds of boost through it and it made 670HP, or somewhere in the 600 range. He is gonna bring it back to his...

I Would just remove the engine and replace with a 632.

I just cant believe he can push past those liter bikes.... its surreal. The guys skills on that big busa are unbelievable. The only mods he did were gp4rx brakes/ ohlins suspension/ pipe/ and set of dymag wheels. standard issue racetrack stuff. Bike is still 500 pounds.

Have you turned off allllll the electronic controls and nannies yet and done a WOT pull? Ill bet that thing is like a pogo stick with no electronic controls! That short wheelbase and over 200HP is gonna come waaaay up. CAN YOU defeat the wheelie control/traction control completely? I figure u...

I came to the exact same conclusion... the master cylinder is really cool with the adjustability, and everyone ranted and raved about these nickel plated brembos.... I just dont see the same thing as they see. They arent bad... but i dont think they are doing a 1500 dollar job. The nickel...

If they have those numbers... would be nice to have, just for comparison later on. (The leakdown percentages per cylinder.) You are not out of line in asking for that. Orrrr... highest observed leakdown percentage and which cylinder. The tech should remember that........

Just sayin.. a STOCK gen1 hayabusa can be bought for 5000 bucks. A stock gen1 hayabusa will take an 80-100 shot on a stock motor(when you feel ready). that nets 260/270/280HP.... a Gen2 will take some spray also, but its got light ass valve springs and ti valves and higher compression. a gen2...

bren tuning.... BT Moto | 50 State Legal Performance ECU Tuning And Race Parts . I doubt you will get too much out of that bike though. Its not restricted like the liter bike monsters. The throttle blades are in fact almost wide open at WOT... not 60 percent open like most liter bikes. For...

bikes are always fussy..... This busa is a gen1. it wasnt even a radial brake setup on the forks. a axial to radial conversion was necessary. I had adapters made/ custom lines. Let me know what you think about these calipers please. I have my opinion, but i would love to hear what YOU think...

What exaclty does the warranty cover? was the leakdown done?

If you dont wanna get the brembo z04 pads... Fedoro makes a really good brake pad also. Braketek makes a hell of a rotor (not that that makes any difference in performance, but the pads will. These are track pads... dont know how well they would like getting wet. I went through ALL this bs when...

Shelbys original 427 cobra... (the one he had re repainted to appear as though he had multiple cars).... twin turbo Calvo viper... and a zora. Listed in order of desirablity.

it was a 2006 bmw 750li... bought from orange county BMW... and my little cousin had a 2015 5 series bmw that bmw put THREE transmissions in his car. THREE.... under warranty. They still use these damn valve bodies The gaskets fail/solenoids malfunction/ plastic cracks and the result is pressure...

ohhhh boy........ the butt dyno tells no lies!

It would be soooo nice if they put a sticky tire on the mustang.... it needs it. everyone understands that.

mine too. i had a 750li and it was the worst experience ever. In the end it threw a 9000 dollar transmsiision. STOCK power level. unmodified.,

Having the compression and leakdown done tells the whole story. NO SET of eyeballs can see inside an engine. It doesnt matter whos set of eyeballs it is. I think you know this.

Getting some of your money back is the only thing that can be done. Getting a new motor is a fantasy. The first thing you should do BEFORE... repeat.. BEFORE u buy a blown/turbocharged car is to do a leakdown/compression test. The reason why should be pretty clear now. I think the motor will...
