high flow fuel pump internals... $249??

And the fuel pump mod would have saved any of these engines?

That I did not say. I was only responding to the "If you actually read threads you'd know..." comment to correct the fact that there are people who's motors have blown stock. It's a known issue that the disi knocks in stock form though, which could be a contributing factor. Who knows though. If your car is stock, chances are you don't have a dashhawk or other tool to monitor what's actually happening.
/speculation

Will it add power? No
Will it give you a bit of head-room if you are planning other upgrades? Sure
Would I personally add this if I was going to keep everything else stock? Probably not

My .02 cents...

Believe what you want, sheep are easily led.

Awesome... (2thumbs)

So sad you still believe them. Really, knocking is a known issue? Who said it, another with 5 posts in 8 months?
 
folks with stock engines have run dashhawks, discovering a more than just coincidental amount of knock on the logs. Whether this is a bug in the ecu or whatever else is not known at this time that I know of. I would also like to know, as mine is stock other than a cobb intake. I personally have noticed that my car has suspicious lumpiness at times, which could certainly be knock retard, or fuel cut. There is no other really good explanation for it's tendency to stumble from time to time under heavy acceleration.....
 
Some knock sensor hits are normal. The ECU constantly probes for the optimum ignition advance. It will tweak it advanced until it gets a knock hit, then back off. It keeps doing this so your dashhawk will always register a few knock counts. Now, if it reads hundreds of counts, you have a problem.
 
i think all three of those were people going less then 60 in 6th gear and trying to speed up rapidly, down shifting would have saved their motors, i remember reading some of those and i never try to accelerate rapidly in 6th gear

Yep, people who can't drive blaming the car then wanting sympathy.
 
No matter a person's tendency to shift down or not, an engine in a modern car should easily handle a full throttle tip in from 2500rpm and up in ANY gear.... wagging fingers and tsk tsking someone for that is pretty narrow minded. Truth is, IF engines are blowing from this behavior there is a serious design defect going on here.
 
Get it trust me. Even if it blows the dealer wont even think about opening the pump. For everyone saying dont **** them, its a good investment.

I sure don't want to be your motor. Lugging a motor can cause severe detonation and lash problems. Please don't pass out misinformation.
