Yup, all stock. Just put in a clutch this weekend as 12psi on E40 destroyed it in one pull.

No, the stock ECU already does that with a mind of it's own if you watch it enough.

Your motor is unfortunately living on borrowed time pushing stock internals to such limits.

Well I could tune a stock motor with a big turbo to 500 hp for one dyno pull and then drive it 12000 miles too if I never got on it.

Take the car to the track everyday for a month and let me know how its doing.. Even Vit know he's on borrowed time he stated it going into this. While the tune does have something to do with a motor living for awhile, it will not take the place of a built bottom end.

Their is absolutely no way to apply 500hp on the street efficiently in one of these cars no way.

Do I think VitViper is a excellent tuner yes. I seen his work on the Honda scene and even looked at his software which is very nice. Do I think he drives his car pushing it up to 500hp on the street everyday, no not even a chance of buying into that. Their are other tuners that have hit 500hp on stock motors, some of them went over a year like that. But in the end they all have gave up the ghost at some point.

So in closing I'm not flaming Vit but pushing a FA20 500hp and saying a tune is the only reason it still is alive is debatable....
EDIT: I am not claiming Vit is stating his tune is the reason....

It has also been through something like 30-40 hard pulls on the street just for the fuel return system testing a couple months ago.

That doesn't even begin to count the normal daily driving "sprited" driving, haha.

But it sure is amusing to hear someone else talk about what I do or do not do with my own car :bellyroll::bellyroll::bellyroll:



I've seen people wreck completely stock cars, and even built bottom ends, while at the track. So ....... what?

In other news... not everyone builds or wants to build a track car. And the ones that do... don't track them every day? Or are you saying only the unemployed build track cars?



There isn't? That's probably the dumbest thing I've ready today. We have 900-1000hp 4 cylinder cars that lay it down on the street with no problem. 500hp is a joke when it comes to laying it down on the street, especially on a RWD car :bellyroll::bellyroll::bellyroll:

You can ask @Ultramaroon how it "lays it down" on the street. Plenty of joy rides have been given in this car, Rofl.



It's a flex fuel car, it's spent the last 4 months on E80 fuel in the tank. The car sees 7800 rpm and 15-16lbs regularly. That's why we turbod it... maybe YOU would turbo yours and then baby it because you're scared.
