More the fact that I had to upgrade a bunch of sh*t to get the maximum out of it in stock guise.bjk wrote:I was under the impression that bennoz build is actually stock. But a lot of sh*t went wrong.

- Had to put in expensive coil packs so I didn't get blow out at high boost
- Used vernier cam gear to adjust exhaust timing. Retarding them by 2 degrees essentially gave me an extra 20kws.
- Larger injectors to keep fuel supply up for the high boost
- Larger (twin) fuel pump setup to keep fuel supply up
- Larger 3 inch exhaust to cope with volume. Smaller size restricted power.
- Gearbox keeps blowing up - fact of life, the primary bearing is of poor rating.
- Diff blew up - moved to Wavetrac unit.
- Kept tearing engine mounts, had to use hard solids
- Kept over heating, found slimline fans (and fans size) to keep it in check
- Used larger throttle body, had to bore out manifold to suit.
- Countless hours on the dyno getting the tume right.
So effectively, all I've done for everyone else, is R&D. I could give you a list of parts that will give you a 230kw engine. In bog stock format, it'll only make 150 odd kws.
