Given your altitude, how much more WHP will this make at sea level? Great Numbers!!!

Valvetronic issues came back, but I coated the Eccentric shaft with Dry Film Lubricant coating to reduce the friction and so far it seems to have helped.

Im going to enjoy the car for the next couple months the way it is until snow comes, then the compressor cover will be taken off so I can weld on a bung for Methanol injection, and mount the turbo speed sensor so I can ensure the turbo is running in a safe RPM range. Once that is done, I will go back to the dyno with the goal of 900 whp.

This is amazing!! Hope you reach your goal for 900whp. Heck let's aim for 1000whp single turbo S55!!

Yep. But im not going to run it at that level for long, its plenty fast at 750-800 whp. Just to say the car hit that power level is cool to me.

Why isn't this post front page!? This is crazy. Do you tune on BM3? If so, I'd def like you to tune my next setup. Im considering a single as well. Please keep us posted!

Holy fucking shitballs this is bonkers.

I don't like the cloud based tuning software, I love ECUTek and their software so that's what I tune with.

Valvetronic reared its ugly head again, so im in the process of changing out the intake valve springs to the Carbahn valve springs which are softer than the headgames. Hopefully this is the last time I have to mess with valvetronic. If it happens again, the head is coming off.

I figured while the car is slightly apart, I may as well weld the meth bung on the compressor housing so I can go for 900 whp soon.

Klapped_Ty · 12-23-2021, 10:36 PM

Amazing work, I wish single builds were as popular as pures.

McBobby Jr · 02-26-2022, 11:25 PM

Is there an update? Can't wait to see 900whp on a stock bottom end engine.

chetrickerman · 02-27-2022, 09:52 PM

The head is off and is being rebuilt by Billiam. Hopefully he is able to see a possible cause of my valvetronic issues. While the car is apart, I'm installing the meth bung on the volute and the turbo speed sensor so I can monitor that to ensure turbo longevity.

Don't you currently have CNC Head Games Head? It's giving you valvetronic issues?

Can't think of any other person besides Billiam who I would send an S55 to be worked on.

Correct. I installed the CNC ported head November 2019, but I didn't start having valvetronic issues until April 2021.
