lowlancer Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Little bit of both really Shot on the WOF front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWD4G62NZ Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yea I was real concerned about the testn station dudes not given me a WOF due to a bit of smoke. She is still runnin to rich on the base map and was blowin a bit of black. Talked them around which was pretty easy when you can see the Link ECU unit standing prouder than a honeymooners dick on the passengers kick panel! Hanging to get it tuned now.

ProZac Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Absolutly loving that car, really kickass work . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWD4G62NZ Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Cheers Fellas, Much to my horror I have found that while she had been sitting waiting for the Multipoint gear to get finished moisture got into the engine and has done damage. It's producing loads of blow-by gas and pressurizing the sump becuase the rings are not sealing properly. Totally fucken gutted cause I was getting set to take it to Nelson to get tuned very soon!!! New plan is to bore out my spare block either 20 or 40 thou and add Hypertec semi forged pistons and Perfect Circle chrome-moly rings. While this is being done I'll hoist the motor out and pull it down so I can use my shot-peened rods in the new block. Can't really justify the expence of going for fully forged internals but this will be a good solid setup for the kind of work and boost that the car will be running. I'll put up pics and prices of the parts if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Havn't seen this beast before. Looks really sharp. Bet it goes good too. How much did the link dyno tune cost, if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWD4G62NZ Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Cheers man, Havn't had it on the Dyno yet sorry. As the engine is freshly rebuilt I went for a mild road tune first so I can run the engine in and sort out any potential problems. I'm probibly going to open up a hornets nest of disscussion by saying this but my opinion is that Full Power Dyno Runs on a fresh engine are dangerous due to the massive loads placed on them. My road tune cost me $350 and has the car running perfectly at 10psi boost. When it's run in I'm going to have it dyno tuned to get the most out of it and also to establish a power and torque figure. I'll be posting those figures when I have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I agree wholeheartedly on the dyno tune on fresh engines. Best bet is to do what you have done Be mean if you could bring it up for a trackday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWD4G62NZ Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Fuck! Would so be keen for that eh but unfortunitly I'll be over in East Timor again eh. Yea was out and about on Friday night putting some miles on the new engine. Did the Queen Charlotte Drive on Saturday too, that was sooo much fun with all the corners and off camber. I wanted to turn around and go back through again eh!!! I might enter in the River-Lands Street race down here in September 2nd tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
