I know I'm way late but modern cars will even tell you how many times the starter has been engaged, how many warm up cycles it's been through, how many services it's had, how many over revs it's had etc. etc. So fuck your mileage.

Most vehicles do this nowadays. Which is also why they have such big batteries, reduce alternator output while cruising and ramp them up on deceleration.

I read that and thought "brah how did you miss a dead miss?" But then remembered not everyone spends every waking moment diddling with badly running engines. Bloody good that it wasn't head damage though!

On my last exhaust I looped the hanger around under the pipe, as I found having it welded to the sides it would eventually fatigue and rip a hole in it. As for hanging methods, I just replicated the factory method. Seemed to have held up well enough despite smashing it constantly into the road. I was gonna say attach the runners to the gearbox, but derped and remembered your engine is facing the wrong way.

Those noises play out in my head perfectly

That looks like it's gonna sound bloody impressive

On a properly designed exhaust, all the magic happens at the header / collector, the rest is just to get it out the back of the car. I reckon move the engine into the boot.

And a big intercooler

I'm thinking, that since you have blown out both sides of the block, the rod was still attached to the crank when it went for a flail. So I'm guessing that the piston was the first to fail.

There's a iQ in at work at the moment, I thought that would be pretty hilarious with a high revving engine. Stuffed knows what you can do with the NR engines, aside from swap them out.

Oh shit!

Your exhaust will run hotter if your timing is on the retarded side, but nah that's probably normal.

Nah mate, can still see light under it.

Reminds me of a story from my old boss, building up a 2L Fiat twin cam race motor. He did all the math on cams intake and exhaust runners to get maximum power. His mate built the same engine with slap together parts and guess work. Guess which was the better performer of the two?

Theoretical improvements yield real world disappointments

No lift pump in those suckers. Diesel bug could be an issue. Do you have the old filter still? Have a look inside, otherwise pull off the new filter. You'll know right away if it's there.

Some cars definitely fall apart with the axles missing, even just from pushing around the workshop.

Fuck yeah that'll play Doom real good

Unless you are also replacing the wheel /Ling

Time for a carbon fibre hood / 3D print one in 20 pieces

Big overlap pisses half your intake out the exhaust at low rpm so your dynamic compression is lower. Or something.

My vague reading in the past on static compression vs dynamic compression I'm trailing off now coz I can't remember the rest.... As you were.

Nothing like a failed reverse lockout to add excitement to your day. I saw a video awhile back of a high powered Honda doing a 1st-2nd-1st shift down the strip. It did quite an impressive reverse wheelie.
