Built motor reliability

[JoshH]

Can you say who the manufacture of rods were Josh? Just curious and a heads up.

They were the same as Ben, Duramaxtuner brand, but he no longer sells them.

I thought about using the super duper alyoominium rods, but I decided to go with Carrillos this time... :angel:

thats funy i saw that quote on the counter in a frame store today

I only have 3,000 miles on my built motor, I would have to ask Winston how many miles he has on his since the rebuild. Ed Wayne has put quite a few miles on his latest build. If you drive a built motor on a weak tune for your daily driving it should last just fine. The harder and more often you push it and the less you take care of it, the sooner the bearings will need replaced.

I have about 20,000 miles on my motor. 10,000 with dual C's. Always on the race tune 600~800 hp. The only damage has been a broken output shaft.

i've got about 4000 on my built motor with the mods in my sig. duel fuelers from the day it was started. daily drive with a 600 hp tune which i also use as my tow tune. so far the engine runs perfect.

If i can remember correctly Ed Wayne (eds04max) has around 30,000 on his latest build.

Is there anyone that has a built motor and duel cp3s on a daily driver? And for how many miles so far?

I would say 70% of my customers fit that description.

I think Ed may have a bit more on his than that, he sled pulls, drag races, tows and daily drives it.

I have well over a year and over 20K miles on my STOCK motor with duel cp3's and twin turbos

How conservative is the tuning though I have over 3 years on a 600-700hp setup always DD the race tune 3300 pw... still runs great

 

[LarryJewell]

mostly 2800 pw, sometimes 3100 pw............pretty much 3300pw before the duels cp3's and twins though

 

[bluessmax]

My built motor has 20k on it, 18k were with single cp3 60overs and a 2300pw tune..:thumb:

Impressive I've got 100-120 passes at this level as well

 

[MACKIN]

This is what I'm getting when I'm ready, seems like a good deal.

:roflmao:

im staying out of it

 

[770JOHNNYW]

I dont have but a couple hundred on mine but so far besides injector rattle and intersection smoke outs i cant tell a difference.... smoother than ever:thumb:
thats with rough tuning once the rattle is completely gone should be about normal

 

[LarryJewell]

Impressive I've got 100-120 passes at this level as well

And how many total miles did you say were on your motor I'm over 140K

 

[S Phinney]

Well I will update my last post. I now have about 65k on it since my build without any problems. Smallest tune can run low 12's so its over 500 hp for sure.

Sadly I think he is still selling them

IMO that sale should be removed and all those rods should be melted
