Hey Everyone,

Never really posted here before but I have been actively reading for awhile now. Included below are pictures of my current set up on my p5. Unfortunately after running 15psi for a little over 10,000 miles the motor is done. As I'm sure you all know it has been a battle trying to find forged parts for this engine until I recently came upon the SpeedCircuit Engine (http://www.speedcircuit.net/product_info.php?cPath=21_38&products_id=171&osCsid=4eeff4c065634becf34923d66adc014c).

I know there are a few SpeedCircuit guys on here so I basically just had a few questions; how many miles have you had your motor? How much boost are you running? and what whp are you hitting?

Any advice from anyone that knows about this company / product would be extremely helpful, or if anyone has any other ideas of which direction to go. Another key thing that I like from SpeedCircuit is the 8:5:1 compression which will be necessary for raising the boost once the swap is done ;-)

Thanks all,
Matt

welcome to the community. sorry to hear about the engine giving out on you. if you want to contact speedcircuit directly about the motor his name here is Kooldino. we also sell this engine and know quite a bit about them, so feel free to direct queries my way if needed.

thanks! I will post a thread as the swap happens and with the dyno tune results as well.
