I found a bunch more videos, and this time they are with a Holset HX40. The digicam was a bit hard to hold while shifting gears and steering :shock: which explains the unsteady recording.

Here is an old video, but it gets the job done:

I will have a look for some engine photos, and videos as well.

I am from DC, and the photos are some backwoods roads in Virginia. Tread lightly and it easily yields 50 mpg. Even with no regard to mileage, and you still get mid 30s.

There is no reason to mess with any oiling with the engine, and every myth about the engine, has proven to be totally false. With all the time and evolution of tuning over 10 years time, nothing has cropped up. In addition, I've had and tuned many engines, and there has been no issues.

They are silky smooth, sound amazing, very easy on the drivetrain due to the close to constant torque output profile, last forever, and make serious power :twisted:

Deo, I am that guy, I read the board frequently, I just do not post that often

The car does have an electric oil pump for pre-oiling, and switch-off oiling, but it is just a precaution, and makes changing the oil a snap. It also adds an additional 2.5 quarts to the oil volume.

The engine is fully built, has a metal head gasket, as well as studs, and turns a 14mm pump built by me. Even in stock form, a metal head gasket coupled with the studs allows very high boost levels, driven by the factory 10mm pump.

If you like to know more, just ask me. The link above is corrected.
