Are S63TU engines still bending rods/blowing up a lot?
The tuning scene here seems kind of dead. Looking to get into an F90, curious if tuning it is just going to make the engine a ticking time bomb.

> JB4 is your best bet for if it goes boom, you're "covered" That's a myth. Go read how they use GPS telemetrics and ABS settings from an actual engineer: https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1834548 |

Really? You would think there would be some on line chatter if a mod engine blew.

Forums are for sharing yes, but there can be a bit of shame that can go along with a motor letting go, and that can lead most to not share. There are also legal implications that rule many decisions.

I agree. I think 85% of blown F90 engines are going unreported on these forums.

It blew when I floored it with 2-3 liters of RON95 petrol left in the tank, I ALWAYS got the RON100 at Shell, this was the only time I was on the road and it wasn't available. Welp. Last edited by bpma; 06-21-2021 at 01:30 PM.. |

Looks like you lost the tip of a spark plug.

I'm currently driving a replacement engine (slight tune to Stage 1 / 700hp), the old motor is being built. Once it's done, I'll try to get it to 1000hp. Not sure how long that will last, but since I already have a second engine if things go south, I don't have many excuses.
Also apparently MY20 engines are more durable - one of the changes is that the cylinder liners are made from cast iron. |
