Oh Golly Gee, this thread has me lol-ing like I've never lol'ed before.
In my opinion, this dude has proved absolutely nothing. Like it has already been said, this has absolutely no relevance to anything. Congratulations your motor lasted 6 months, but what did it prove? It only shows people that tuning is essential for reliability. I guess if someone is only planning to drive the car for 11,999 miles, then I guess this is the perfect setup for them. This doesn't help anybody. It doesn't serve any purpose.
And Craig, you are B-O-R-I-N-G. And if you've been trolling this site for so long, I would think you would give NJHK a little more credit for his involvement with this site.
Edit: Wow, -rep. To whoever left it, I dont even know wtf you meant for your comment, "hes a band wagon jumper". haha. WTF does that mean? Really, whos the band wagon jumper, and is "he" jumping on or off. Maybe jumping over? I don't know.

You proved nothing about how much the engine can take. That's like draining out all the oil in the motor and driving it until it blows and if it lasted longer than you expected then "Damn, that engine can take some abuse!".

There've been people on here who have melted a ringland on a piston and driven for over a month afterwards with only minor problems. Very, very few motors go all in one shot from running fine to self implosion.
The people who are saying you didn't prove anything aren't saying it to bash you or belittle your project. They're saying it because, in reality, you didn't prove anything.
As you can tell with very little experience in the automotive world, not all motors are exactly the same. One person could walk out and buy two of the same exact car with the same exact options. One car may get a motor that will last until 250,000 miles with no problems and the identical car could blow up at 75,000. You just don't know. And just because your motor lasted 6 months doesn't mean someone else's will...so you can't apply a broad statement about how well overall the motor is built or how ANY L61 will hold up to boost without tuning...it just doesn't apply to any other car but your own.

But you didn't *scientifically* answer that. You haven't posted any of your data logs or any control measurements or, well, anything. Your car lasted 6 months and however many miles. OK. But when did the fault occur in the motor? Exactly. You don't know. You could have had a major internal failure 3,000 miles ago but it wasn't until that problem was allowed to progress that the motor completely stopped running.

Exactly what we've been trying to say.

Actually you're right. I'm unemployed.
Since we are stereotyping, put a intake on your horse and buggy.
By the way, I live in New Jersey...you could have tried a location stereotype...but wait...oh yes...a nice black stereotype would be so much simpler, aye?
