Re: y8 tuning tips needed

Put a real turbo on it, ditch the afc, and keep up with your oil changes. If I ever ran a Y8 oil pump again I'd have a whole pillar of oil pressure gauges.

Re: y8 tuning tips needed

There are of course y8 motors with tons of miles on them that are running fine, but I've spun a bearing in my old y8, my friend went through 3 Y8's that developed spun bearings, and if you look online you can usually find a couple y8's with bad bearings. The only cause of spun bearings are bad oil changing habits or insufficient oil flow. I can't say they are garbage for sure, but I don't trust them in anything performance oriented.
