Unfortunately my engine collapsed again. I did allot of bin-tuning the last month and the car seems to be strong and reliable up to 250km/h. I never got above, too much traffic.
Now it was time to verify how long the engine can stand topspeed. Very very late at night i went on the autobahn an held the speed at 278km/h (286 on speedo) at 16psi and rev limiter @6600. After 3 minutes i felt a power loss and smoke in the rear mirror. I will get off the heads soon to verify the damage.
I think I need a reliable knock detection.
My spare engine is ready with new bearings and good compression-test. Tomorrow engine-change will be completed and the car is on the road again.
