He only had injectors from us, not the Esmeril turbo kit. An alz0rz is right, the engine simply flooded, if it broke it occurred later on totally unrelated to the injectors (it is not clear if it broke or if he just switched to a different 13B because the shop was unable to work with the Renesis). What was curious about the situation is more than one injector was stuck open simultaneously which is usually caused by EMS setup, or improper installation (which can include debris in the line).

Like we talked my setup is gonna be built to sustain the track abuse. Need max cooling and what not to keep it safe.
Now i think chris is the only that can tell us what the renny can and can't do at those numbers. Since he is the only one reaching them numbers or atleast posting about it. I did notice he was doing some type of water/air that will support his higher damand of power. Now will have to wait for him to discuss what he thinks about all this.

Yeah i don't plan to run track days too often. Prob maybe once a month or less. And its gonna be rebuilt a few times i'm sure. If i can keep the car stable and safe i might just upgrade to a skyline or something that can take more power. But will see what more things come to the renesis.

yeah, its the one thats close to the Mazsport graph. It's not the high power benchmark mind you, its the older 365 one. Who knows how sustainable the 414 one is, Chris would have to drive that for a real long time to make me feel safe :-P
oh and....
APEX SEALS! APEX SEALS! HURRY AND INVENT THEM! :D

You put the new seals in the 414whp tuned car? How long did that car run on the stock seals before you made the switch, and did you make the switch after the motor blew, or did you do it preemptively? Very interested in all this for longevity purposes.
Do you have any kind of tentative time frame in mind for releasing them? (matter of weeks, few months, a year, more?) Do you plan on offering them as part of a comprehensive master rebuild kit?
You've ran on the new seals for 15K miles already? Do you actually drive around that much, or are you leaving it running on a dyno all day or something XD
Sorry for the barrage of questions, we are thirsty for toys. If we can't have the toys now, at least knowledge about what's to come will make me happy.

Chris, if you didn't see, I posted a few questions a few posts above. Please address them when you get a chance. Thanks.

You found me in both threads! I agree the inter-X is no longer needed and the Cobb makes better use of the EMU we already have. Chris what do you think, of course I can't argue over the accomplishment!

Sumitomo HTR Z III's (245/40/18). Phenomenal bang for the buck. When I switched to snow tires for this winter, my notion that I wasn't spinning out because I wasn't making enough power was dispelled, because I spin those snow tires with only minor amounts of boost.
However, the difference in power between my base map, and Chris's 414whp tune is as night and day as the difference between my car and a stock RX-8. So if I packed that much power, my Sumitomo's would probably behave like my snow tires do at this moment.
If you were going to that kind of power level, I'd probably recommend wider rims so you can put more rubber to the ground.
