Bubba, they hold up fine if you use the right "ecotec". People try to cheap out or "do it better" by building a non-fsctory turbo engine and end up disappointed when it doesn't last. Use a LHU or LTG and you are good to go. I have 600+ hrs on mine with a EFR6758 turbo, 2.38 reduction and a 3 blade 80" Maximus prop set at 2 pitch that turns 5600rpm on the trailer. To spin that prop at that pitch with a 2.38 you have to be making north of 450hp. Only takes 1 person to create enough "noise" via negativity to push people away. You decide for yourself. Just look at how someone felt this video was worth a down vote. I mean, really? Decide for yourself. Good luck with whatever you decide.
Hows this engine holding up ? i want to build one but i keep hearing that they dont last?
