At least that way you can rebuild an engine and make sure its not gonna blow up Yes

Its a load of cash though.

But if you are gonna rebuild it you may as well do it right!

Just to clarify the failure mode here, it turns out Chris' pistons melted becuase he was using regular unleaded - 95 octane.

This isn't nearly as stable, and doesn't burn as controlably as super unleaded like V-Power or Resco 99 octane.

The result is detonation, and melted pistons as can be seen by the pics. So, all low-boost S/C users, please fill up with a high octane fuel like V-Power or Tesco 99 octane, as recommended in the installation guide.

The problem is high compression engines like the XU10J4RS, particularly when boosted, will be prone to det if poor quality fuel is used, or they run lean, too hot etc.

If you want to use regular unleaded [95 octane] I can supply some modified ECU software with less ignition advance [and slightly less power!].


Cheers
Rich

Rich, i totaly acept the blame for this, as both counts was my fault, shit oil then wrong fuel, the kit is an excellant kit and i was very happy with it, so i recomend it to anyone, as long as they use good oil and the correct fuel.

so if the right fuel and oil was used in the first engine then the money spent on the secongd engine could have gone on the high boost project?

bummer but then im guessing you woudnt be looking at high boost if it didnt blow up? lol
