Hello USA

What came out of the QSC test. Any good?

How are the quality they supply today?

I am T4 oxy guy. And the regular quality P&C are so and so. People start to use Porsche 964 P&C nikasil. They last long and are exceptional quality, if you can get your hands on a low mileage set.

Has 10cent torn down this engine? How did the QSC pistons hold up with 9.7 to 1 compression ratio?

That's the right one, and they fit just like stock. It's a really good filter.

Hey tencent....I asked about the Trasko oil filter on the Subaru Outback forum and I think I kinda got laughed at. I still thought they were a good idea but left the idea behind. Then....I see in this post that you use them!!!! So I feel much better about thinking of using them.

Would that be the Trasko TI-10S you are installing? And I am assuming there is enough clearance for the Trasko. Their web site says there shouldn't be issues but I figure if you have them on your engines there should be no problem. And it is the one with fins right? I see one on there without fins and the Trasko bee with the letters USA.

Well Jake has a lot more in the way of resources (wish I had a big building full of machine tools, and an in-house dyno), but I keep plugging along.......

I'm the owner of aircooled engine but for all you WBX owners...
Any questions why tencentlife is to WBXs what Jake is to my TypeIV?

if I owned a WBX I'd have a hard time rationalizing why I'd own anyone else's engine
the level of his craftmanship and knowledge leaves me in awe

I am "relatively" new here, and I just saw this thread today. Looking at that sequence from stop to go was an emotional experience, I had to break out a Cohiba and sit on the patio to reflect when I was finished.
Great stuff 10cent
