Thanks for the kind words, no hero, I just play one in my car
Halim just built a custom "Stage 3" tune for her, 18.5psi top of 5th gear...completely stock fuel system http://www.bootmod3.net/log?id=5c758ff3c090c609408878e4 Last edited by M-Supra; 03-09-2019 at 10:42 AM.. |

Weather just provided me a window to take her out for a spin.
Man I love this car, too much fun. Decisions, decisions...I'm not sure I would ever use/need what the M2C offers given the good deals on OG m2s right now. |

https://www.jdpower.com/business/pre...ility-studyvds Times have changed. Hondas for example are junk. Their reliability has been dropping for years. Despite being the last automaker to utilize DI and FI they still couldn't get it right. I can't believe in this day and age you could design an engine that has such poor tolerances that that the oil crankcase actually fills up via dilution. This is the kind of stuff we would have expected from Hyundai decades ago; https://www.wardsauto.com/engines/ho...lution-problem |

The N55 in the M2 is the same open deck block as all other N55s. It's plenty strong. The N55 in the M235 and M2 have a stronger forged crank and cylinder oil squiters. All 2014+ N55s use the S55 rod bearings and rods. The M2 N55 has a more race focused oil pan baffle.
Barring some of the earlier pre 2014 N55s with rod bearing issues, the N55 is a pretty dang reliable motor. The motor is generally simple compared to the N54, B58, and S55, easy to work on, and relatively cheap in terms of parts. The common issues are leaks from the oil filter housing gasket and valve cover gasket and the coolant line from the radiator to expansion tank. Water pump and coil packs will likely need replacement at 70+k mileage. The N55 in the M2 is a factory pumped up motor and doesn't have the "M" expense. To me, that's perfect for most people. It's plenty powerful and faster and quicker than 99% of the cars on the road. |
