I am curious to who has a 2.6" or lower and if your motor has crapped out. Just trying to get an idea if the 2.6" is really worth it anymore

1.blown06: 2.6, no motor troubles yet
2.blown 4-banger: 2.6, blown motor piston ring

 

Unless you have a Wideband and can tweek your tune stay away from small pullies like that.

 

I have a 2.7. No issues yet that I know of!

 

i have a 2.6, never had any prblems....just gtta make sure your tune is good, good supporting mods, and the a uego gauge to monitor ur af

 

blew mine with a 2.8 60# not retuned for winter.

 

When my motor let go, I was at 11.8 AFR and wasn't getting any knock.
**** happens

 

Sh*t does happen which sux *****....2.5 pullied here and no problems whatsoever. I'm like the king of knock too, I had knock for about 15,000 miles and my engine is still running....its kinda slow for what it should be but still runs. Plus I also have hptuners as well which is DEFINATELY a good thing to have.

I won't run my car other than rich anymore....10.6's-10.8's across the board for me

 

2.6 is the shizzy and i have had no problems besides a blown clutch!!! lol but i think that has to do with my rough driving lol

 

Oh by the way, my pistons are fine. It was a burnt valve.

 

I have an aem wideband now, guess I will see what happens after I get everything retuned again

 

2.5 with ZERO issues

 

Blown headgasket with the 2.6

 

I am hoping since i replaced the headgasket and studs before any problems happend I wont have any problems with the proper tune

 

2.55 no problems for 10-12,000 miles now...

Nhoj- 2.6 (42's lol) blew up
yellow 06 (mike) 42,s 2.6 (lol no one listens to me) hole in piston
Phil (darksun) 3.0 snapped cam in 2 pc's

 

42's on 2.6 lol nice....

 

yeah some people just won't listen... and they learn the hard way

 

off topic sorry with a ported blower stick with the 2.6 or be ok with 2.5 with proper tune on stock internals other than gasket and studs

 

2.5" pulley here, no issues yet. (Knock on wood).

 

had a 3.0 woth no problems just got a 2.7 with 42's no problems yet, anything i should be concerned about ?

 

yeah... your IDC is gonna be around 130% if not more... ( I logged 142% on my friends car with 42's and a 2.7)

 

illaberate on that one, not sure what IDC is, haha is it badd

 

injector duty cycle... anything over 90% is not good... over 100% means you injectors are going static and the computer really has no control over fuel delivery

 

ok . . so i had the 2.7 injectors and the tune done by kenny and i dont really beat on it so you think ill be good haha

 

as long as you dont rev it out too much.. you shoud be alright for a while.. but get 60's when you get a chance

 

ok thanks for the info, i need my balt to last
