Hey guys I'd like to get some info about the failures and hopefully figure out what is killing these EJ20Ks.
There's really no proof of what the issue is, all we know is that more EJ20Ks are dying than EJ20Gs.
My theories include these possibilities:
Here's the template (if I missed anything important someone let me know):
- Design flaw such as a weak oil pump, or weak bearings and rods.
- Too aggressively tuned for non-JDM fuel and detonation from the octane being too low.
