SBS 2016 Taurus SHO Build Thread - LOCKED

I do not know the independent lab Amsoil is using in their claims.  But Oil Analyzers or Polaris are the likely candidates. AFAIK, Oil Analyzers is a division of Amsoil, but I don't see much mention of this in the literature.

"Oil Analyzers Inc®. (715-395-0222) is a division of AMSOIL that provides cost-effective, quality oil analysis services"

Have not seen any mention of fuel not emulsifying into the oil.  The focus has been on neutralizing the effect of fuel on oil through stronger base stocks and proper additive chemistry.

That is my problem.  I cant find the "Independent Tester".  I will have a huge problem with it if it is Oil Analyzers.  That would be stacking the deck and being bias. 

If they haven't figured out the emulsification issue, then they cannot claim 100% to prevent LPSI.

All cleaned up and ready for the track!!!

Hell yea man , can't wait to see the times ! I see the tires are finally on ! Looking good

AFAIK New Turbos may require roughly around 800 miles on them (break in period) before the turbo seals seat properly IIRC! Might want to take it easy for a while! Z

So everyone I have talked too has stated that there is a misconception on "seals" with newer turbos. Journal Bearing turbos don't require a break in if they are properly installed and assembled...

There has been a dyno pull plus 10 datalog sessions within 500 miles... if there IS a break in period... oooooops...

I am a big fan of break it in how you will run it. Obviously after oil has gotten to the right spots of course!

Lol... we will see...not so much foreplay as documentation on a build... if it doesn't work out well then you know.

Yes sir, as said on the journal bearing turbo there is literally nothing there to break in.  Everything glides an rotates on oil film.

Of course it will work out!  Your track has good air too so I'm very excited.

So it looks like my 160F Tstat got stuck open yesterday... car would drop down to 160F and wouldn't get warmed up much past 180F... happened after I did a big pull on the highway...

Interestingly enough although I am not sure if they are correlated I had a pretty big knock event that hit +6KR on the livewire during the pull towards the end.. then was accompanied by some +4.5 ish knock at part throttle shortly afterwards...

Let the car cool off for 4hrs hours and everything seems to be just fine again..

Ordering a new tstat from GH..

[802SHO]

That's weird!   Glad it appears to be ok and a resolution in the works

[SHOdded]

Yikes!  First reported 160 unit failure, i think.

[StealBlueSho]

Seems about right for my luck...

Loaded the auto octane tune for the bigger turbos...

It's 450awhp/480awtq iirc..... I'll take it for pump gas! Runs well.
