It blew up using WI as well. I wonder if be was not injecting enough or if the problem lies elsewhere. 2mm stock 2pc seals.

There are many causes.
Stock 2mm apex seals don't have a power limit, but they do have a detonation limit.
Detonating a motor can be caused by many many things.

#1 is wrong timing use
#2 wrong ECU
#3 wrong spark plugs
#4 wrong fuel settings
#5 too much or too little water injection
#6 taking advise off Howard Coleman & or Brian D Cain


Not in any particular order either.

Like I say to anyone who cares if they think this is 'easy' to achieve your answer is in how many you see out on the street or at events at this level.

Not many can do it end of story.
Lots of people fall into the trap of letting the motor tune them rather than the other way around.......... and its all too easy to chase a dyno figure rather than make a car fast and reliable.

He has a pre-turbo mechanical WI setup and was using 50/50 Water/meth I believe.

There is too much to give a general comment on, you don't even know where to start but I'm sure lots of 'theories' will get thrown about.

I have never used an Adaptronic ECU so I can not comment on them.
