Does this mean that the only viable source for forged motor is Carbahn?

I've been looking at their stuff too. Carbahn now sells a built bottom end for those with good motors. Still expensive, but not nearly as bad as a full build with a blown motor. Plus, compared to what some of us spend on wheels/aesthetics/suspension the built bottom end is not that bad to be honest.

In agreement 100%. The logistics of getting this done seems to be the next big step. Anyone on the forum have any experience with Carbahn's engine work?

I had misfires, overboost, running lean, about 20+ codes. I have them all saved and could share. RK could not figure it out and kicked me to the curb, thus why I am in litigation.

Yes, I have a Carbahn engine in my M6. Runs fine. I had a shop that wasnt good with performance stuff do the other work and it had to get tuning and other issues worked out.

Good to hear that. Did Carbahn offer any assistance to ease with transition from the existing setup to your new engine. Do you feel that the upgrade was worth it to you? Performance?

If you haven't had anything done diagnoses wise, then what did you expect them to do? Send a tow truck based on the notion you said something is wrong when it may not have anything to do with what they did? That seems a bit unreasonable. You as the owner should atleast help the shop with diagnoses, did you do this?

Maybe I'm different no matter how much money I spend I don't expect shit from anyone. And I try and figure things out on my own before asking for help. Oh and I would have flown in and test drove before picking up / shipping back.

I’m not going to get into Skyler’s issues because that’s none of my business.
Sorry for not posting in a while. I was personally extremely bummed out over the last few weeks because my car was down. I discovered an issue with my EWG on bank two that wasn’t operating correctly. Car was running on a single turbo and was going limp. Took 2 weeks to get the part in and just picked up the car yesterday. It’s finally running solid without a single issue. I’ll do a few pulls this weekend to run some numbers. Also ugr charges you 6 figures plus lol so let’s not compare and they blow their motors all the time. I know the local AF1 lambo 3000hp and they replace all the internals after each event. |

The drivetrain error is from the EWG not being set correctly or not handling the higher boost. There is a way to bypass it, we just figured out by running an external controller (no my m5).

Sorry you want to come in here and come at me for this. No reason too. But the draggy numbers are false. The car fails on 11/12 draggy runs and cannot complete a quarter mile. I am not here to defend myself. If you want to have RK build an engine go do it. Have fun.

Restraining myself from being a jerk to you like you are to me. Both my cars came back from RK and both INSTANTLY had severe issues. He refused to pay for return shipping, for diagnosis or anything. He began blaming me immediately. I've been around the block a few times and can sniff a scammer. But of course I gave him every benefit of the doubt and kept trying and he made me 1000% sure he's full of crap. On top of it, 9 other people with fucked up 1000hp builds have contacted me. Sounds like a trend to me. Question is why are you defending him? Just an angry keyboard jocky? Chill man, I don't fight online. I filed a Lawsuit were in litigation. RK is being exposed, so many people have been screwed by him. Oh ya he admits he gets interns to build the engines that aren't getting paid btw.

So I just want to confirm you've done nothing to figure out what's wrong with your car but you've had enough time to come on here and bitch. Has it been to a mechanic lets start with that? If not go take it to a mechanic and then come back and tell us what's wrong with the car atleast the story will be better at that point.

Thanks man. No point in fighting online. Raza sends guys like this to any thread thats critical of him a lot. Maybe its even him? lol. idk, in all seriousness it just ruins threads and forums, maybe that was his goal.

You know similar to what you did with Carbahn | Mission Performance | DME Tuning ---- All thrown under the bus https://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1586970 "Mission performance... that maybe the issue. My clutches failed though so I am addressing that first now." "DME tuning tune it but it wouldn't make much power. I gave up and had it brought back. " Enjoyable thread to say the least. So I'll leave you with this because honestly I don't give two shits about your car / money you lost or anything else in this thread other than finding out what the actual cause of issue your car is having. "Its those wanting to push the envelope further that run into complications." --- Skyman ---- isn't that what you wanted with this F90 to push the envelope?

All the best to you friend. You'll get the details when everyone else does. And it was the shop I was at before that blamed Mission/Dme, turned out no one figured the cats were clogged and plugs were screwed up. This go around is the car came home rolled off the trailer (both cars) and couldnt go around the block w/ out major issues. I deeply appreciate your concern. Maybe just pull the aggressive undertones next time around. xoxo

I mean, you can always start your own post on the forum... Not sure why you jumped on mine when the original poster is not even RK but CSF. I'm not going to bash Raza, and I'm not going to say the build was perfect. I will say that I have zero issues with the engine. I had it tested/inspected by Parts Score in Scottsdale and by Lusso Motorsports also in Scottsdale. All my issues have been either electronic 2020 ECU bullshit or tuning issues. Considering that we are the "first" in the country to push the car to this limit will come with issues. It's not like you are buying a Calvo 65k motor build that has been tested on 30+ other cars or UGR 200k full turbo build with a warranty.
All of the issues that I have had with my car have been electronic or tune-related because of electronics (2020 ECU). My car finally runs solid as fuck and consistently doing the same power over and over. I also invested a lot of time trying to figure this out. Driving it every other midnight, logging it, adjusting it, doing research, and talking to all shops trying to figure everything out. No errors, no codes. I can do this all day long. This is just a base map on 91pump at about 29psi. - "omg but that's just a stage 2 tune" - Yes it is, you are pushing your car to that limit running on some kind of Ethanol mix. I can do this all day long on the pump and then turn it up to 36psi on race fuel. Last edited by RuskiFiver; 04-12-2021 at 04:56 PM.. |
