FP Black w/Built 2.0L & E70 - New Manifold
Just a quick update for the guys that never check out the other evox forum.
The motor is out, torn down and the shortblock is at ERL performance now being built. It's getting sleeved to a 90mm bore with 10:1 compression pistons. I am E85 all the time and will be E98 sometimes now so higher compression made sense. I am very much looking forward to the 2.2L high comp motor should be a blast.
Once the shortblock is done my shop is going to be re-assembling the longblock and putting it back in.
As far as what happened. The motor spun a bearing for those that didn't know. I chose to ship the shortblock off to ERL only due to timeline. My shop is so busy they couldn't give me a timeline so instead of waiting I just wanted to get the car back asap so I shipped it off. With all the debris everywhere my tuner/builder said he couldn't really tell why the bearing spun. So who knows...probably just a **** happens type thing. The general consensus is that it wasn't my builder though as the motor would've failed much much sooner, prolly on the dyno. If anything it was probably how I drive it or 1 or 2 other theories that I won't mention. Regardless my shop is helping out the best they can and hopefully in 2 months or so I will have the car back ripping around again!

Well I didn't get pistons from them and I am reusing 3 of my rods probably so I just need one single Manley TT for the one that had the bearing go bad.
But if you still want to know, PM me.
