Borgwarner Twin Scroll 7670 With Dyno Graph
Ok... So I didn't buy a Kia. Short story: My oil pump failed... causing mass destruction...
Long Story:
The day before the DJ appearance, I had RRE make sure everything was good to go and they through it on there Dynapak Dyno as to have an accurate Baseline to compare the DJ graphs to. Well. they noticed some white smoke coming from the motor, stopped tried to source it... did another pull and well.. they found the leak allright lol.
Not too Happy... as this motor had ehh..300ish miles or something... sent a PM asking David wtf lol. After having some discussion as to what the best course of action was, I and My buddy took my truck threw it on a trailer and drove from LA to Buschur Racing.. (I had JUST driven 9 hours the day before from utah down to LA to take the car to the DynoJet lol.. )
We end up leaving Thursday night and getting to Buschur first thing Saturday morning. David met us at the shop and I said lets get it fixed. Come to find out my there was SOOO much damage... that it was hard to tell what the cause of the problem was. It most likely was a combination of the oil pump failing and my push style Tilton clutch.
This was my first time actually meeting David.. Even though I've spent tens of thousands on his kick *** products over the years lol.. He's a great guy... Proud, trustworthy, hardworking american... you can see the quality of his work and how he stands by it. Integrity is something that is very important and i have no worries when it comes to Buschur Racing, Road Race or Robispec.
Anyway.. he's hooking me up with another motor that should be done soon. Good news is, the car will 100% same setup (motor wise) as David's after its setup (including cams).
We're hoping to get things done quickly... but the entire block was trashed... so. its basically a brand new motor.. Between David and Robi@robispec and RREI'm getting hooked up. It another reason to support Great companies such as Buschur, Robispec and Road Race
Anyway..thats my update... I'd be looking for results in the next few days/week.

Nice meeting you DB
Nebraska is damn boring though. If I end up flying back to Ohio and driving back to SoCal, We're taking the southern route.......hopefully it's more interesting 
Wow, didn't know this thread went this direction.
Multiple problems took their toll on the engine. First thing I want to say is there is no better delete kit than the stubby shaft kit, end of story.
Now the problems. Oil pump was on it's way out, wasn't completely locked up but was very close. The other problem is if you convert your car to a push style clutch YOU HAVE TO INSTALL THE REQUIRED CLUTCH PEDAL STOP ON THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. If you do not do this the thrust bearing will be blown out of the engine in a very short time. Which one happened first is hard to say but the thrust was completely blown out on the clutch side only, crank was completely trashed along with the block from the crank eating into it.
There were actually multiple things that led to the failure, thank God none of them were on my end. Now the hard work of slamming this work done and getting the car back together so it can make a race he wants to attend. We had hoped for a quick fix, the block and crank being junk definitely put a hurting on a "quick fix."
