Timing Belt Snapped at 9000rpm

Jason's timing belt snapped last week. Revving at 9000rpm or probably more using factory stock Mitsubishi (MMC) belt on his overpowered GTi. According to him, the timing belt had 30,000kms done and 1 year time usage. My guess after looking at it, it's high time for an uprated racing timing belt like Power Enterprise, Toda, Gates, HKS or anything that would fit 4G93P.

If you plan to rev more than the stock rev cut, especially those high revvers with EMS or even a chipped ecu, i advice you to change a better timing belt.

Jason had to change ALL his valves due to this mishap.

Life goes on and he is still continuing modding. (normal ppl would plan to sell the car by now :p)

As you can see the mods may not be as much like a Honda VTEC but he has put 300% effort on his modification . At the moment, he is happily revving to 9500 rpm (nothing to lie about as i was in the bloody car) everyday to school with air-conditioned and power steering.

I have heard so many fucken rumours about monsters with 4-throttle and Australian-parts-built monsters which are mythically breathing in Klang Valley but then again, how many of them are daily driven to Giant Supermarket and cruising under the El-Nino heat 35c during the midday with cooling air-conditioned?. He sometimes go to the track for a weekend session, with full interior indeed.

2007 year looks like a golden piggy year for Jason. He plans to rev this engine to 10,000 rpm with forged internals and new setup. I believe he is almost there with his plans. He has high hopes from his friends and family. I notice when someone spend less time talking, do their work and research, produce good results, i should give him/her throphy.

Jason has dynoed his car recently and he wish to keep the figures to himself. He is not being secretive about it just that he doesnt want anybody to do the same setup and not getting the same results as he is.

However you do it, cheaply or expensively, engine building and tuning has to come together. Jason might advice you the same thing and so do i.

All the best this year to 10,000 rpm.

Building A Super Satria GTi?

Another young buddy of mine, Jason, very young at heart, blew few engines in the process of knowing what's right and wrong, finally set his mind and wanting to cross the line and seek the darkside.

Whatever in his engine bay has been modified, the car may look normal from the exterior and interior, but the money that has been spent is a lot. Growing in such an influential world is not easy for him. Building the impossible is his aim.

160whp? 180whp? 200whp? As for a friend, i want him to reach 180whp smoothly if possible. With the latest Microtech LT10s and a Australian-trained tuner, we hope to extract a nice impossible 200whp. God willings with strong heart and bit of cash, i think he can succeed.

Daily driven Super Satria Gti quad throttles with air-conditioned and good idle. Sounds good to me.

Pray hard and stay tuned for the results.
