Haha it's engine, started stripping parts off today, might go built bottom end and bigger turbo. It didn't spend much time on the limiter. More than i woulda liked but shouldn't be enough to blow the motor but who knows. Can smell the e85 everywhere on the tear down so far lol

Atm it's still got the 400rwkw tune in it. Once i empty this tank of e85 im filling up with 98 and loading in a quick 98 tune i had done. Goes in for real tune Monday. Gonna be at 12 psi on 98 I'm guessing around 320rwkw. Ford motor has weaker bottom end. Hence this solution is just to daily this car. Plan to cam an ls1 and put it in my vn calais with a t56

I beg to differ, the fact you got double the nm that motor was ever designed for says to me it was a pretty strong bottom end Lol.

I believe he meant the ford motor is weaker than the FPV motor?

So thought I'd update this, the car was shit after the retune and I barely drove it, probably a couple of weeks in the 3 months of rego. So I decided to go to a new shop because the previous shop just didn't have the time to sort my issues. So turned out the car had over 20 fault codes and the trans was leaking badly and the standard heat exchanger was useless. So new zf trans cooler, trans flush, fault codes cleared (a lot were caused by gunk from the motor popping) new in tank fuel pump and a new tune. It pulled 315rwkw and the driveability is a lot better now and with the cams it is nice and lumpy at the lights lol. Here's some pics even though I know it looks the same lol.

Get yourself an obdII interface for like $30 man and you can see / clear codes. Plus live readouts of all ecu values.
