Like others have said, the ESC.
Not necessarily new in the purest form, but I would said the first successful aftermarket option. That really sucks. Beyond what is right (in a philosophical manner), is there anything wrong with the ACT clutch, or the one on there specifically? |

This is maybe the first time I've seen you post actual useful info besides "this car is a PoS, it won't last 30K miles". Listen, the bearings may still be the weak link even if upgraded. Mind you, there ARE ACL bearings available but still the most successful installers choose the OEM ones. Like you said very accurately, there will always be a weak point because well, something has to break at some point..... Where you rub everyone the wrong way is where you only see the negatives and no positives. I will repeat it. You conveniently use FRS300 as an example and choose to ignore FBM an Dynosty with their numerous 400 + whp install on top of the various stock block owners at 400+. I agree with you stock block 400+ tune needs to be spot on. But I also encourage you to read on E85 (which I know you don't like ). Find me a tuner that is able to knock E85 and I will tell you that is a REALLY REALLY but i mean REALLY extremely putrid awful tuner. Making E85 knock is nearly impossible in most normal cases. I don't know what is it that you expect form this motor in order to say it is good, it holds up etc.... I mean, you can easily double the power (325-350 whp) and with a VERY forgiving ECU that pulls a lot of timing instantly it senses something wrong, you are very safe (not bulletproof, ok I don't think anyone with a stock block should feel bulletproof unless its a motor 10+ years out tried and proven)......

Ok the word games are seriously getting crazy first I get chuckle at getting accused at not knowing what makes a bearing now that one can run a forged bottom end at 200 hp (which would be stupid). All I'm saying is that for most people buy a fucking Avo, an Oil cooler, Use Avo fucking tune and enjoy the car a few years while things get ironed out before turning it into a 450hp monster, its just common sense. Quote:
Maybe because you actual took the time to read what I was trying to say. I never claimed to be an author. Look I am not against these cars or what ever people keep saying other than I have been stuck with a 2012 ROM that the dealer refuses to update. At 0F it seriously idles below 900rpm from a cold start. But the thing keeps running and I just received my Tatrix cable so lets put any conspiracy theories that I don't love these cars behind us. And lets forget that the first car on this forum to pass 36k miles stock's engine blew up yesterday http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61452 E85 is like fucking nitrous for these cars. But again I keep saying this we don't all live in huge cities. I have never even seen an E85 pump, if a gas station put one in my town people would probably buy it to get drunk. Just like the real good tuners shops nearest me are a 3 hr drive into Jersey. Its just different when you live like most of the country, you wait things out.

This is again the type of post that give you flake.... maybe it's unintentional. .... but there's already 50K + miles car on this forum. It's again the pessimistic view but it's an inaccurate view. I have taken the time to read your posts and I admit haven't in a long time, but just hope you can look at the glass half full for a change. Sent from my SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Roller bearing, what? Might want to look into how bearings are made and what goes into them. You even commenting that they're designed for light weight oil (they're not, that's clearances), fuel efficiency (they're not, that's the oil), and daily driving (wtf does this have to do with bearings?) Funny, all the people over 400hp on a stock block (or the people with built blocks running stock bearings at much higher power levels) just prove how wrong you are. The bearings aren't an issue, the tuning is. I think it's funny you're knocking tuners when the stock tuning was popping DI seals. You apparently think tuning is some kind of magic... Quote:
They are indeed a shim to keep the clearance small enough for the bearing to work. It's well documented that detonation can cause bearing failure on piston driven engines. There's nothing "new" about this engine besides it's combination of direct injection and port injection (which are both understood just fine). Quote:
Yet again, tuning. I think it's funny you bring up the Supra when people have pushed over 700HP on a stock 7M block and well over 800HP on a stock 2J block. But remember kids, OEM bearings are shit Quote:
If you have the money to do this, you have the tuner fly in. Quote:
That's an R&D car and that's also nearly a year ago. Also, shit happens (breaking up above 4K is more than likely ignition system issues not directly related to tuning) Quote:
Overkill is the only way to do things if you want durability. This is exactly what the OEM's do, and exactly why you can push double the power out of the engine. - Tranny solution is already there. - LSD is fine, but can be changed if one so desires. - Axel solution is already here. - Brakes where here before the car as they're parts bin parts from other Subarus. 240SX? Well, that explains everything... FYI: Wanna know the big secret to why Supras got more and more powerful? People finally stopped ****ing with piggyback controllers and went full standalone engine management so they could properly tune it. With the ability to reflash the stock ECU on the twins, most of that functionality is already in the car. Quote:
Might want to read the post first... He had a minor accident that more than likely compromised the cooling system because it wasn't reassembled right, and then a major overheat, he popped the headgasket like any other engine would have. You sound like the kiddies that think the 7M motor in the Supras is crap because they buy a 200K mile car and shim the wastegate. Or the ones that think the SR20 is godly (it's crap) |

Also the AVO cars are running 300+ WHP now on 12lb's of boost (I think). AVO blew their engine at 19lbls but say up to 350 is reliable on stock block. Sooooo the kit you say is out shinning your agenda. Not to mention BOB has been beating the crap out of his car at 320whp for almost over a year I think.
