Boost is ~2,35bar or 35,5psi.
The overheating was due to the head lifting caused by excessive timing. When the waterlevel gets low the exhaust side gets hot first because the engine is tilted. I believe I solved that with the new expansion tank that sits higher than the head with a vent/airbleed at the highest point on the head and some spare water to fill the engine if it would loose some water. But no water was lost on the dyno and the temp stayed below 90degrees celcius all day

Perhaps I should have settled with 450whp so people dared to comment

It may take a while. On my first testrun I think the block gave up. Water in cyl1 and cream in the oilpan. Maybe my friend got a vid from the passenger seat.
But f**k me it was fast! A bit blurred sight and tunnelvision in third gear, shift to forth and still pulls the same. I hope I won't have to back off on the power to make it last. Had to go abroad for work the same day so I haven't taken it apart yet.

Still on stock gearbox, rebuilt and in good condition but I'm looking into gearkit. So for next year I guess I'll be running sqs straightcut dogbox.
Too bad I'm away for work so much. Been out for allmost a month now. I really want to get home and tear the head off and have a look at what happened. I may order a 5s-fe engine so I'll have a block if needed.

boy this thing sure did turn out to be a monster. that spool is nasty! really glad you showed the with/without VVT active, 800rpm is huge. so are you planning for another 5s block? or thinking of another route? or maybe sleeved? either way heck of a build and look forward to seeing new updates.

I guess I will just put in another 5s block but depending on what I find I may back off a little bit on power.

That's all I have but I could probably ask them for more details. What do you want to know?
Or I could take it to a dyno you trust when it's back together
I was thinking about taking it for a dyno tour just for comparison.Pipedreams":24emb18s said:sleeper":24emb18s said:

There should be a bar on the right side with more details about the dyno run. ( search google on dynapack dyno charts and you will understand. )
If you want to take the trip to Norway, you could run it on my dyno. ( Rototest)

Where in Norway are you located? I wouldn't mind putting it on your Dyno. If I find the time and get it back together I would like to go to Gatebil Rudskogen in september.

I had a -00 block. 11-1200hp I would guess is on methanol and fully concrete filled block? So then it doesn't matter that much
