3. Beat the crap out of it tonight. Several launches, 3rd gear pull, 4th gear half pull. Several runs up through the gears. Couldn't break it and I tried.
Power drops noticeably at 5k when boost nose dives. Stupid 6cm hotside and tiny compressor is way too small for a 2.4l! Need more powaa!
Interesting 4g oil pressure data....fully warmed up idle pressure 25psi (10w40). Beat on it with no oil cooler....still 25psi :D
This is with an engine that has had way too much ferrous metal cleaned out of the pan (twice) after I got it. Previous owner rebuild it. I speculate rod pieces and not a good clean up job. BTW, still rocking the bearings it came with! (I don't imagine it can live forever with this abuse but that's what the other block is for:))
A buddy fixed my power windows today!!!
Busted wire harness in the door jamb?
Not totally sure. The relay was acting up too so we wired a new fused wire to the switch to power it bypassing relay and jam. Works.
Adjusted exhaust so it doesn't hang as low then cruised with the windows down to a neighboring towns folk festival. Swapped stock hood back on. Can't rock a ratty carbon hood. Parked it at a friends to sit and look pretty....

You can't tell from this pic, but if you look at my sig pic, the tip of the muffler now touches the top of the opening instead of a couple inches below.
