Hi Abri,I guess I've done about 30 000km with thie engine with no problems at all.When I first built it I could only get 120Kw out of it and I was very disappointed with the performance after expecting 160-180Kw,I was told that I needed a bigger injector pump, so I baught a new pump in Aus and got 150Kw out of it which was a major improvment and it pulled like a train.We did the Outback challenge which is 8 days of sheer hell without so much as a missfire .As for reliability, the Aussies are running 200+Kw without any major problems,which shows how under stressed these engines are.When I was running the engine in the competition I was running 1.7bar boost but I have now dropped the boost down to 1.5bar to reduce stress on the turbo,the EGT have gone up a bit so I need to reduce the amount of fuel being injected.I have never had any over heating of the engine. :woo:
