Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Would be a great test bed to find the real "weak links" in the chain !! What do you think the first weak link would be? Bore scoring?

Assuming some of them haven't made themselves obvious already.... From the ad: Number of Cylinders: 8 Engine: 3.6L H6 SFI DOHC Maybe the supercharger adds two more cylinders.

I wonder why somebody would buy something like that...

Just as an exercise in internet forum guess work, Assuming this engine had Nickies, JE pistons, IMS Solution, LNE h-beam rods, what do you guys think would be the first "weak link" to show it's self?? EDIT:: This is just a census, don't be afraid to give your opinion, there are no wrong answers.

That's a good one. Better than any Car Talk Puzzler I've heard. I'm going to guess, that your guess is going to be a lot better than mine. But I'll go with a real simple one - the AOS. Won't disable the engine if caught and managed, but it isn't on your list. Oh, and I have reason to have that damn thing on my mind. You will want to make an assumption on the adaptability of the engine management system. If it can compensate for the fuel/ air demands, then it would seem to be rather stout. Otherwise, you will have a lean condition that will find that weak link . Let's assume that it has been tuned properly (though doubtful). I like it.

My guess would be some kind of thermal issue; with higher charge temps. More waste heat etc.

POST 13Original post

When I read the title and then opened the link I expected to see ugly body kits, weird accessories and odd colours - looks okay aside from the supercharger! Porschetech3 i'd say the first thing to go given we're factoring in those upgrades - would be... the timing chains?

POST 14Original post

Quotes source post: 16113397

I'm going to throw cracked heads as my guess. Increased thermal imbalance and (likely) unimproved cooling system (still has center grill).

POST 15Original post

Found this little tidbit: What? It does have the much sought-after three spoke steering wheel though. I'll be putting my bid in soon. Oh - has anyone heard of: ECO Motorsports (in MD)?
