No meth yet, just a stage 2 tune and then I watch AFR's via a tablet and the Torque app. I'm still trying to sell my Aquamist setup so I can buy the BMS JB4/BCM and meth setup so I can be assured of Terry's help.

Hey guys,
We at BPC wanted to share with you that we've successfully completed our built short block and its back in the car, running, with our custom big turbo setup. We've began our tuning and are making large strides daily. We will be offering these parts for sale for those of you who want to have the motors rebuilt locally, as well as a motor build program which includes machine work. This is a sleeved motor, custom pistons, custom rods. Please feel free to reach out via PM or email Thank you, John John@bimmerperformancecenter.com |

So I guess if people are building short blocks its safe to assume around 750-900whp you are starting to get into the you might have problems if you tune it wrong category.
I really wish people would speak up, again its a forum lol, don't have to even mention your location just symptoms and what you did and go about your day. Pretty sure nobodies gonna try to track it down. 50+ engines I could see BMW starting to look at it closer lol but even that... I mean just using all of the new/ used 2012-2017 cars as a sample size off cars dot com... That puts failure rate at like 5ish-7ish%... And I'd bet half of the failures were attributed to incompetence/ laziness from shops/owners. Who because the platform is so under utilized didn't do it right. |

We wanted to share these pictures of our customers M5 which was making so much torque that it bent a rod, causing it to score the cylinder walls, ruining the bore. This car was making 700whp SAE on DynoJet. This lead us to a complete build on the motor to repair the damage. The Rod is definitely the weak point in this case. |

From the Porsche world it is low end torque that kills the motors. My stock motor made 868rwhp/720rwtq SAE (on a Dynojet) on 25psi but towards the end I was running 27ish psi. When I decided to build the motor we had 4 of 6 rods that were bent that you could see when laying on a table; but the car was still running when motor came out. The motor a month and half before was still making 840-850rwhp in the middle of a Texas Summer.
The thing with keeping the motor happy was killing low end torque by having no timing in the mid range. I figure with these motors the exact samething can be done as long as the tune keeps that low end torque down. Basically not letting cylinder pressure spike early to save the rods.

The effect of pre-ignition is MUCH worse on a rod than the torque produced by the motor. If only ONE cylinder has a bent rod... its more likely pre-ignition than a systematic weakening due to too much torque. |

Awesome ! Please share some pictures of some information on the parts you used. It would be great to see some of these "built" motors get some recognition |

i have been skeptical on running all that e85 with no tune for it so i tried it this weekend, based on my logs it didn't work well for me at all. the car was maxing fuel trims even at only 19psi, once i added meth and turned up the boost it got a little better but nothing like when i use 97+octane gas

Torque is the killer here. You have too much torque on stock rods and around 700-800whp/ 650+wtrq and you start to see this recurring symptom. Also there isn't a large enough sample size to say whether or not you are an anomaly or standard. Tuning, etc. all plays a factor, your guys might just have it more right than someone else, or you may very well just have a strong engine lol. Too many variables to say whats what, and especially on the M5 not a large enough sample size of power pushers to really start to develop a consensus. But its a great share by John to show high torque on these cars dialed in correctly will equally kill rods. |

Not debating that torque kills - my motor could very well be a time bomb waiting to bust.
My point after seeing 10-15 blown motors, understanding what happened, people's setups etc, tuning seems to play a larger role at the 700wtq level. High torque will break stock rods especially if the tune targets 30psi at 3K RPM. If the boost profile is more linear the motor seems to handle it better. |
