DJ Swears by it. It will give you more midrange for sure. Just needs tuning. The only major issue I have is that the bridge causes a surge up the secondaries. This makes the SSV tick at idle as if it's stuck. I was going to make a spacer to dull the sound.
The other effect of this surge is that it deposits some fuel / oil on the SSV valve and eventually causes it to stick like the oil blow by issue from the crank case vent line. Mine is the second one that I've heard this happen to, so I've all but accepted my theory as fact. It doesn't happen often, but it's something that you have to keep an eye on.
I prefer the feel of this motor over the stock renesis, but I'm bored with it, so it's probably getting sold soon. Just make sure you tune it well and you should be fine. I think Vinnie has a template of my bridge.
I'll let you drive it once it's fixed before I sell it if you want. |
