If you read the posts they say no chance just a canned tune caused whatever that guy had happen. Even that dude says he isn’t blaming bm3. I bet he did something with meth maybe turned shit up or just out there to mess up and talk shit hard on bm3. They even had an email posted from that guy from like 5 days ago asking to run meth but now suddenly claiming he wasn’t. Sounds fishy

I'm just curious with what actually went down, I know you are about as far from neutral when it comes to BM3 as anyone could be which is fine.

I sincerely hope in time objective information will bubble up and we don't spend time speculating. People that support BM3 will say to use your words this guy did this to "talk shit hard on bm3" people that are in a different camp will take this as an opportunity to pounce which isn't cool.

And people like me who don't care either way but are curious as to what the root cause was will wait for some real word info. As an engineer this stuff intrigues me.

Personally I don't think this happened in a vacuum but there I go speculating

Sub’d. If he added meth and didn’t listen to what bm3 advised, he had it coming especially if he had way too much spraying. Even when I started to run very little e85 when I had a jb4 I posted logs for bms to look at and make sure everything was good.

No meth implicated at the time of the incident; but he says he used jb4,intake, dp and meth before (for 20k he says). But at the time of the incident, he had just a DP, intake and bm3; thing is he left his JB4 hooked up on map 0 at the time of the flash. He also states that he's been told by bm that it was ok to leave it on as long as its on map0.

He says that everything worked fine for two days; and logs are looking good. Then accelerated from 50+; not at WOT and then it happened.

Cant wait to find more details as well.

Interested to hear the outcome although I have absolutely zero sympathy for the deceased. Especially when he overdosed on Meth.

Gotta pay to play!

I can attest that on map7 with meth I would occasionally have spark blowout around 5-6k rpm and it sounded like backfires. Mission was talking about my car because when we left the jb4 on and added the tune, it screwed with everything. Once we took the jb4 off everything ran perfect! I’m currently at 22.8 psi and have had no problems. Something isn’t right here

Just want to clarify that we don't even know if he actually "blew out his bottom end" yet. Could be something like an oil line letting go.

Speculation isn't that useful until the guy with the issue gets his car torn apart to see what actually happened.

I saw the log and story and it seems a little fishy to me too. The log shows a 15psi map, that isn't really much more boost than stock?

I have been testing the MHD B58 flashing system making a back end for our pure stage2 turbo and so far what we can do on the flash side has been awesome. Combined with JB4 to run our new chargepipe port injection kit for extra fuel pressure when using E50+ this is going to be the winning combination I think.

I must agree, MHD back end paired with Jb4 is going to be a killer combo I have no doubts a stock turbo will put down 500whp with meth. I’m on the back end flash beta and so far it’s great, but definitely needs some tweaking.

If I had to guess his engine probably blew from knock or something dangerous that simply blows engines....

Maybe it was the meth that he over sprayed. There are 100+ b58 out there with BM3 tune. Only time can tell. Honestly it's making me a bit skeptic of getting BM3 tune or any tune at this moment because it's still in its infancy stage.

He bent a rod and it shot out of the motor. That's usually caused by high heat or shot rod bearings. Something isn't right. 15psi isn't doing that unless he was starving the motor of fuel or else, but his AFR from his logs didn't seem abnormally lean. Hmmmmm
