Is the car in the pics the one that blew up?

335dsleeper · 10-12-2018, 10:11 AM

No.

No idea about the car in the pics. On their photo site, it looks like the motor went back in the car a long time ago. Who knows.

Skunkwerks · 10-12-2018, 04:34 PM

Did they fix the car?

335dsleeper · 10-14-2018, 08:42 AM

BPC replaced the turbo.

The engine rebuild is being done by another shop.

Yea....not exactly correct. The donor core was replaced - I still paid to have a second hybrid made.

335dsleeper · 10-15-2018, 09:24 AM

I meant they installed the turbo. I have no clue who paid for what. I know the bill you told me about was insanely high.

From the picture I see a stock crank pulley? Why not use this opportunity to upgrade?

335dsleeper · 10-25-2018, 03:53 PM

It’s because it’s an open checkbook, push the limits, no one has done it before build.

In all seriousness, they just don’t want to support a certain competitor, which I don’t blame them one bit, in-fact, it’s the same reason many of us still run stock dampers.

That said, BPC should at least give credit to Matt Whitbread for leading the way forward and having the ARP studs and colt cams made for the M57 community.

We have installed quite a few fluidampr balancers and dynoed a few to see what kind of performance is gained. Since we haven't seen a performance gain on our dyno with these balancers we decided to stay with the stock crank pulley.

335dsleeper · 10-26-2018, 10:58 AM

Looks like the rear cylinders are gonna get a lot of nitrous.
