Indy,

Have you sent the injectors to DW for testing? I feel like they are trying to stand behind their product in the post above, but it would be really nice to get proof why the engine failed instead of just subjective thoughts.

Yes, I sent them into DW over a week ago (over night mail at my cost), and I've called them several times to see if "the've been tested" and there response was always " no, we're just going to send you out new 1300's". I'm NOT vendor bashing in any way shape or form....just simply stating my experience. I'll try calling them right now to see what's going on. I'll keep you updated as to what happens.

??? I'm not an expert on e85, but this could be related to your engine failure.

or did I miss something?

thats terrible.. no one likes to see a blown motor... but on the glass is half full side.. the motor blew before the tranny... go to show with a little love from SSP the tranny can handle its self quite well

and now youll build a motor far stronger then before

just got the phone with mike from dw. he was very informative about the testing and the processes they put injectors through before they are sent out.

the tests dw performed on my 1500 injectors showed NO problems. mike told me these test catch 99% of all failures.

my problems where very intermitent.

i will also say the 1500's are not are part of the dw evo x product line. they where a pre-released set of injectors.

i will say this again, i was not bashing dw. i just want everyone to be aware of the experience i had.

though the true nature of my engine failure may never be known.....

i will post anything i find out on the nature of my failure once the engine is tore down.

South Side Performance is arranging for the car to get transported to Akuma Motorsports for the joint project build. The car is getting picked up tomorrow afternoon, and I'll make sure to take lots of pictures and video.
