KABOOM! Now off to Brenspeed for a B326 stroker!

[Timmbo]

Ok, I have to ask..Who tuned it?

BBR. Been running that tune for two years. Don't blame them a bit. Pulled my plugs over the winter to inspect and reapply antiseize and they looked perfect as usual. Not a tune issue so lets not ruin a good thread with 'tooner" drama please.

The real question is how much boost were you putting through that m90?

 

[Riptide]

Couldve just been a bad fill of pump. Couldve been all kindsa things. Sounds like he gives zero cares anyway.

B326 will kick ass.

Yeah it may have been that as well. I just know that the m90s max out around 440 rwhp so Im guessing it was probably making 12+ psi of boost.

 

[Timmbo]

7lbs.

 

[W3bb3r04]

7lbs.

Damn I'm surprised it blew then

 

[skwerl]

Well my car has almost an identical setup and I'm pushing 434 to the wheels. I'm also planning on going forged later this year and I hope mine doesn't pop before I do.

Timmbo, I have another option for you after you get your car back. When it's time to upgrade the M90, you might consider the VMP TVS1900. It's almost identical to the 2300 but slightly shorter. It's also very efficient with very low IATs. Justin at VMP is having Roush make up a bunch of TVS1900 blowers that will bolt directly to the M90 intake manifold. He also has designed and made his own intake elbows for it. He's selling the entire kit with fuel upgrades and tune for $3600 but you already have the fuel setup.

The 1900 will only generate about 15 lbs of boost but on the other hand the guys with the 2300 can't push any more than that unless they are running E85 or race fuel.

Here's the link to pre-order. They should be available in the next month or two. http://vmptuning.com/index.php?p=product&id=1558

I love my TVS1900 blower. I'm making 9.1 lbs and am at 470 to the wheels. Definitely give it some thought!

 

[GreenTerror]

I'm sure a little JB Weld on that and you'd be good to go. Never give up.

Seriously if that were me I don't think I'd be taking it as well as you are.

 

[Taxman]

I always thought the magic number was 500 hp. It's an opportunity for an upgrade. Good luck with the new build.

 

[BruceH]

I'd take a guess that you will be around 500rwhp with the 326 and m90.

IMO there just isn't a safe number with those rods. Sometimes they go when not at wot. I think the big difference here is that this motor was driven hard. Not just at the track but it sounds like it was thrashed on frequently.

Good luck with the build. Have you thought about upgrading the transmission? The input shaft will be your next weak link.

yea but OP went 2 Years
Crap I hope for 1 year after my build

I wonder how many miles he put on in 2 years... I'm definitely hoping for more than a couple thousand miles and/or one season with my supercharger. I know nothing boosted is 'reliable' but I at least don't want to be afraid to drive the damn thing.

 

[Riptide]

If mine goes I'll be disappointed but I have a daily driver in case that happens. Mines been on for well over 2 years and it's held together so far. No track time but it's had a buttload of street pulls.

Mine is my second car, however I drive the HELL out of the Mustang during the warm months. Owned it for 19 months now and put 12,XXX miles on it (including winter storage twice now). Mainly because I go on a lot of local cruises and have taken my car on vacations as well.

Well, hopefully she holds together. If that motor pops the car will sit for a hot minute haha

 

[Riptide]

Mine would be sitting for quite a while before I got the money together to fix it. Six months minimum. It would suck but at least my daily isn't a bad car. It's not fast though.

The B326 was one of the options I've been eyeing actually. Just need to do so much work to these cars to build them up. I was figuring 12-14K$ after I tallied it all up. Minus labor.

 

[lethe]

Damn, Thats one of the worse carnage shots i've seen of a 4.6. Are you planning to open it up? I want to see what happened inside when it let go lol.

Man, take it easy. I was just curious who tuned it and how long you had the tune for..Jesus..
