Yes, they did like 3 months ago. Not sure now.

Why buy a new one, did you already sell your old one ?

Yes sir. I am running 2-850s and 2-1600. The ECU is a E11-V2. I am going to have to redo my entire fuel and ignition to suite methanol though.

Well Chris had hinted around about true direct fire (one amplifier and one coil per plug) So i will either get another DIS ignition and two more coils or get three more digital 6s. I like the digital 6 better so i may just nut up and buy three more. I looked around but couldn't find the price for a 500R. Everyone says their expensive but i doubt they are more than 4 digital 6s. I don't know if my ignition is up to the task but i don't want to take a chance.

I took a close look at the JW intake and it looks like it is going to be harder than i thought to semi p-port it. The design of the jay-tech looks like it would be better suited. I searched for the semi p-port version of the jay-tech but i could not find it. If it is too much trouble i may just remove the side ports and make my own intake .

Damn I don't know how I missed this thread.

A) Damn nice run man! I can only wish to get those numbers one day.

B) Sorry about the motor issues. Can't wait to see the new setup!

Thanks.

I finally tore the motor apart to inspect the carnage. It absolutely destroyed the rotors and rotor housings. The irons look great, even better than my spare set. There is even one spot on the rear rotor where it almost pushed a piece of apex seal trough the face of the rotor. I will post pics later.

Other than what damaged i caused the motor looked very good. All the bearings were perfect, the side seals and corner seals were still in one piece (other than being crimped in the rotor), and it doesn't appear that rotor had contacted the housing even after repeated 10,000 RPM launches.

I keep forgetting to tell you. I looked at the map the other day and Gaby had the limiter set at 8500, it was my pump gas map that i moved to 10k when messing around with the 2-step. So it bumped the limiter at 8500 when it died. I don't think thats what killed it but i know it didn't help.

No i didn't, i guess i should let everyone know before someone gets the wrong idea. Gaby only tuned to 22 PSI all i did was raise the boost without doing any thing else so i pulled the pin. Had i left it at 22 PSI i am sure i would still be driving it.

I do need to contact him about my next motor though.
