EMPI Engine Battle 2024 Kick-Off - Benton Performance

[@Mikefngarage]

El Prado was that the show J bugs was at. I didnt recall seeing them there. or was this recorded earlier

[@Sam_Mebane]

I was there, but my engine apparently ingested a nut at Prado somehow. I patched it back together and laid down 149 horse and 150 torque before the stock (all we had on the shelf) fan came apart at 7800 rpm.

Hi Eddi.... How's things goin' greetings from Jogjakarta😅

[@mrkadron]

So cool Empi, Thank you for doing all of this!! totally sucks for Sam:( I'd be on fire.

[@Sam_Mebane]

I wasn’t pleased, that’s for sure but I can’t turn back time. Gotta move forward and make the most of it! I got it pulled apart with help from the guys at EMPI thank God. It’s back together and on the dyno ready for another shot tomorrow morning!

[@mrkadron]

@@Sam_Mebane i would be concerned with rod bearing damage, if you had oil psi numbers from before look to see they match otherwise red flag. Ill be at empi tomorrow wishing you best of luck!!!
