so i recently got 2 step on a d16z6. so far i’ve 2 stepped maybe 20 times.. but how soon does your engine fail

 

On the 23rd time... so use the last few wisely.

 

im series tho

 

B series guys. It's 25.

 

Only one way to find out...

 

How many licks does it take to get to the center of tootsie pop??

 

No, you aren't serious... you posed a preposterously silly and ignorant question. You know the answer, you just don't like it. It isn't safe to do it EVER... but so far, you have been lucky.

What you have asked here is much like: "How many times can you smoke crack without dying ?" There is no standard answer... some people die on the first try... some manage to survive years before the drug wins.

So, the answer is that EVERY time to bang the engine off the rev limiter, you risk engine damage. The next time you do it could be the time it breaks.


Now, for the Love of God and all Horsepower that is Holy... MODS, please close this thread before any more bandwidth is wasted on it.

 

It's all in the tune. How much fuel is being added? How much timing is being pulled?

Why are you 2-stepping? Really the only benefit is to spool a turbo when drag racing. It can really stress the exhaust valves and rod bolts. As others have stated, if you're bottom end is stock, it can be risky.
