Vargas CBC installed

My buddy who was a BMW tech installed the Vargas Crank Bolt Capture over the weekend at his house. Paul Johnson e85 tune here I come!. Came out perfect and no issues. He is located in Avon, CT and if you're interested HMU, he is very affordable and knows what he is doing.

I’m actually interested to know how well the CBC functions. More specifically on a regular 93 stage 1 or 2 car. I understand the ch can still slip but hopefully the CBC would keep it from being critical.

On a stage e85 tune I would absolutely get the crank hub done lol.

Waste of money, you’ll need to take it out again to do the actual hub

From what I’ve read only one person spun their crank after installing the CBC and that was a manual that money shifted. There’s a lot of people running modified cars with just the CBC. Just saying

Heres some of your logic, there are an INSANE amount of us running full e85/mods and stock crank hub.

Just saying.




Vargas never has and never will make a product that works as intended. The capture is a gimmick.
