It isn't all their fault my engine let go. I know it didn't help. When it comes to temps at the time of failure, my coolant and oil were probably around 170° F or so. I know it wasn't an overheating issue. Fuel trims were below 5% also. Detonation is what killed my engine. On the power stroke, something exploded and blew my piston into a hundred pieces. I've thought about it for many hours and that's what I've determined. I could've gotten another 2000 miles out of that engine before blowing it up....
If that wouldn't have killed it, a rod or main bearing would have. A bearing did actually weld to the crank. There a nice Cali engine in it with plenty of service records. I will say it doesn't have the horsepower the other one had but it does fine. Probably higher compression from all carbon build up in the old one.

Arith2 im sorry to hear about your motor bro. Thatās horrible considering their tunes are complete shit to begin with and donāt even make good numbers. Now their tune is blowing up cars? Unbelievable.

I know of three blown engines on here with their one size fits all tune. One was mine and had other circumstances involved. One of those engines had predetonation from E30 and it gouged his cylinder walls. It doesn't do much of a remap but rather pulls back the knock sensor. Instead of the engine retarding the timing where it should, they cause it to advance more into a danger zone. The zone is where fuel explodes before it should.Originally posted by Triqzy View Post
Change injectors to higher flow or new oem? Also what issues did you experience with the buildjournal can tune?
I also meant larger injectors. Stock ones are great until you need ALOT more fuel.

Besian and torque docs both would be good ones as well.
Picked the rod bearing doc up today and it puts the scope of work in perspective. 300 pages and 134 steps. This is printed double sided. Color would have been nice but it's 3X the price and the pics are high quality so B&W is fine.

Damn, Iāve been wanting to print and bind the 100 page torque value PDF for a while now :/Originally posted by Phoenix///M3 View PostForgot to mention an out of the ordinary one. The UPS store had 30% off print services so I had the complete 300 page rod bearing DIY printed and wire bound so it's like an instruction manual. Came to about $25 in black and white high res. I'll be doing it over the course of weeks so thought it would be nice to be able to physically check off steps, look back, etc

Damn! I really wish I would have known this, I plan on doing that same thing for the Beisan instructions as I hate having to use a phone/laptop with oily and dirty hands.Originally posted by Phoenix///M3 View PostForgot to mention an out of the ordinary one.

Ahah were on the same boat. 15 year ownership at 72k miles. I donāt see myself getting rid of her anytime soon so the lifetime warranty is a good thing.Originally posted by antknee View Post
Yeah i thought about it but since Iāve owned this car Iāve never changed the brakes. Thatās 12yrs and 70k miles so i figured Iāll just take the savings now lol.
I was about to pull the trigger on an entire header install kit, exhaust nuts/bolts/gaskets from thebmwminipartstore and someone in this thread reminded me about the lifetime warranty. In the event I decide to go with Supersprint headers I can get a replacement kit for just nothing.

I was going to say with something like ZCP rotors and pads FCP Euro is the way to go since theyāre Lifetime. That 10% Off right now helps too.

They do! But of course you only come out ahead if you hold on to your car longer than the lifetime of the brake kit, which, let's face it, a lot of people won't (even if they're planning to).Originally posted by DropTopKingM3 View Post[USER="503"]antknee[/USERAlthough if you did get them from FCP I wonder if their lifetime warranty would cover rotors and pads?
