KABOOM! Now off to Brenspeed for a B326 stroker!

[Greg Hazlett]

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

The question was bound to come up!

 

[Renesis07]

Still curious on how many miles he put on it. 2 years could mean he daily drove/beat on it or it was a garage queen for 2 years.

 

[Dark_horse]

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

I went 2 months.. LMAO!.. OP good luck with the build man... Im in the group of 326builders as well... Hope everything goes as planned.

 

[retfr8flyr]

I feel for ya. Same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago. MMR 1000S being shipped tomorrow...
Good luck withe the build.

Mike

440 rwhp and 7 lbs of boost wasn't the issue for the carnage.

Oh great.. What did I get myself into?

 

[Timmbo]

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

Oh yes...I've been keeping up with that thread over on fnsweet for a while just for general interest at the time. Now it's a real strong option for me. The thread hasn't had much activity since 4/15 so I wonder how Justins venture on it is progressing? I'd have to say for right now that's the front runner for me when I'm ready to up the power but that will have to wait till next spring or summer when I can pay cash for it because I'm taxed out till December for this build. I love the fact that I can retain everything with my current M90 kit to hit 600 rwhp with the 1.9 TVS head unit and CAI and that's the number I can hit at half the cost of a full 2.3 TVS install.

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

Wasn't personal my man. But you know how others feed off that stuff lol.

Still curious on how many miles he put on it. 2 years could mean he daily drove/beat on it or it was a garage queen for 2 years.

Close to 7k hard miles on the M90 kit. You could say I used the car for stress relief so the eventual outcome after two years was no surprise.

There are too many comments in support of my venture to quote but just want to thank you guys. I guess I would have freaked out if the car wasn't paid for or something. I have no kids, a great job and my wife has a steady job as a school teacher so this is nothing to sweat. An engine upgrade was inevitable for me. It just came sooner than I planned lol. Getting a budget laid out for a December pay off was a relief though. It's gonna be sandwiches, chips, beans and rice for my lunches for the next several months lol. On the plus side I need to lose 20 lbs anyway. Should help my E.T.s to offset the weight of the block lol!

Like I said I just want to add to the B326 thread info that's currently limited right now on the forum. I won't be starting with the biggest baddest F/I build but its a start. I'm excited about it.

Do a quick search on the site and find out

OP, good luck with the build. Buddy of mine went with the 326 and he has a 2.3 whipple. Thing is just an absolute torque monster!

 

[ZmanM3]

Good choice on engine and builder. You might want to just have Breenspeed tune it while the car is there too.

Absolutely. He's very interested in seeing how well the meth works on keeping the IAT's down on this M90. We are not upping the timing however as neither of us don't want the risk of a catastrophic failure should anything in the meth delivery fail. Strictly tuning for cooling purposes.

does Breenspeed actually build the motors? I ask out of ignorance.

I assumed they will be. I didn't ask Brent though.

[msczesny1186]

When you getting it put in?

 

[stkjock]

ok, they do the assembly, guessing not the machining, good luck with the build

 

[Timmbo]

Car is getting hauled up tomorrow so they should have it late afternoon. Installation date is set for June 3rd at the latest. They didn't have a B326 already built so they are in the process of that now. They wanted my car asap though so they could at least get the heads to the machine shop.

Thank you sir!

I saw the room where they assemble, I didn't see anything there for machining though.

 

[skwerl]

Timmbo, you got me scared with your comment about 7K hard miles. I bought my Bullitt with 13K on the clock and had the blower on it before it turned 18K. I'm currently at almost 37K miles and have well over 200 passes on the quarter mile drag strip (with either drag radials or bias ply Hoosiers). I also drive it fairly hard on the street. I absolutely love getting caught at red lights because it gives me another opportunity to practice my launch.

 

[HellsBells]

Good luck! Let me know if you find how to fix the oilpan / timing cover oil leak because brenspeed doesn't care.

I don't see where he took your comment about who tuned it as badly as you took his to not turn it into a tooner bash

K, thanks..He asked me to not ruin a thread. I had no intention of that. I was curious who tuned it, and how for how long the tune was there. Could have been 2 years, 2 days, 2 months. Do you see now?
