19T + e85 too much for stock bottom?

seems like it

seems like it

the turbos were my old Phantoms, and the answer is yes

[bboyalan]

^Yup!

I already knew the gamble that I was taking after seeing Jeff's results with 19T's and meth back in 2010 on stock bottom.

Alright cool. Good luck with the rebuild!

Sticking with 19t's or going bigger?

[Hard AttacK]

Too much meth??

Too much meth??

Actually, it was too little methanol. I found leaks later that I never posted about. That is why it knocked and the knock bent the rod. The push on type fittings that all the injection places like to sell are freaking junk. I have converted the whole system to brass compression style fittings and no more leak issues. Prolonged 500+whp will eventually break things but that incident was because of the lack of octane.

At what boost level were you injecting methanol (start and full), what mixture were you using and how much knock were you seeing? What was your remedy?

I'm glad I didn't throw a rod through like that.

Torque is a hell of a drug

OEM bearings are not up to a 600hp task for very long. When you bend a rod its because you had a misfire or you hydrolocked said cylinder. Window'd blocks/bent rods are typically user/mechanical error.
