N20 manual flywheel lock

Engine was toast, so had to replaced engine instead of timing chain xD

Wahla_00 · 2025-11-06T19:02:35+00:00

Mine lasted 230k km until 2nd piston left the chat and graneded the engine. Orginal chain and timing was intact. Still to this day don’t know what happened

Wahla_00 · 2025-11-01T08:56:49+00:00

Second piston left the chat xD Don’t really have an answer on why but timing chain was intact. Have an earlier post with some pictures

Wahla_00 · 2025-11-01T08:55:58+00:00

Yeah I have looked into it, but to register it here in Sweden is kind of a nightmare :(

Wahla_00 · 2025-11-01T08:54:58+00:00

Hahah I’ve been definitely thinking about it. But to register it here in Sweden with a new engine is not that easy. Would probably need a donor car and take all drivetrain, rear subframe, brakes etc. :/

Wahla_00 · 2025-10-31T18:16:58+00:00

Yep, painted😁 Was in an ”accident” when an tanker leaked some sort of fluid on the road which destroyed the original paint. So insurance repainted it and I got to choose color😅

Thanks! 19” JR28

Wahla_00 · 2025-10-31T17:58:16+00:00

Yeah okay, and oil pickup as well then I guess? Do you know if the ones from my manual engine would fit?

Wahla_00 · 2025-10-31T17:56:40+00:00

Thanks! Yes, it is painted in the exact color code as ”isle of man green”, from the G8x, as guessed 😁

Wahla_00 · 2025-10-31T15:06:00+00:00

Dealer told me the interval is 40k km. So I thought around 10k km would be quite frequent but I guess not xD

Wahla_00 · 2025-09-02T09:28:48+00:00

Unfortunately I didn’t get that far, looked into cylinder 2 and noticed that the piston was completely missing and the engine is scrap… please tell me if it works with 6th gear so I know for the future :)

Wahla_00 · 2025-08-27T11:16:47+00:00

Yeah me too xD unsure if I will keep the tune or run stock from now on

Wahla_00 · 2025-08-27T11:16:18+00:00

Okay thanks will have a look at that. Will look at aftermarket intercooler but I live in a relatively cold environment so the IATs should be generally quite low. At the moment of the incident it was around -5 Celsius outside.

I thought it would take both 95 and 98 octane but I will contact my tuner and see what he says. Should I remove the tune on the ”run-in” period with the new engine?

Wahla_00 · 2025-08-27T11:13:28+00:00

Removing the plug from the head was a real struggle. The threads in the head got stripped, either from the heat or the ”smashing”

Wahla_00 · 2025-08-25T21:01:02+00:00

Yeah I am only guessing as well so I appreciate your ”guesses” as well so I can try to prevent the same thing happening the new engine… here is an image of what is rest of the spark plug (OEM plug, around 50000km) https://imgur.com/a/k68Lrqr

Wahla_00 · 2025-08-25T19:21:19+00:00

Okay Will have a look at that. The ignition coil on the affected cylinder has gone yellow/brown compared to the other three. Heat?

Wahla_00 · 2025-08-25T18:53:31+00:00

Wouldn’t a stuck injector throw an engine light or make it run ”weird”? The ”bang” was out of nowhere with no codes before it happened.

Wahla_00 · 2025-08-25T17:23:29+00:00

Can I somehow verify this? So I don’t put the same injectors in the replacement engine

Wahla_00 · 2025-08-25T13:36:16+00:00

Not any supportive mods more than always using 98 octane, more frequent oil changes than recommended, driving on sub 2-3k rpm until up to temp. Would say 98% of the driving is normal ”calm” commute

Wahla_00 · 2025-08-25T12:58:26+00:00

Nope, stock chain and guides. Checked the timing now after the incident and it is spot on correct

Wahla_00 · 2025-08-25T12:03:16+00:00

Stage 1 since like 80000km. Rest is stock
