rot808 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 use paper cup and string method of tuning, tie string to block and listen in cup for knocking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Dial timing till rod exits from block, then back it off a couple of degrees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP_wag Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Theres a boss already on the downpipe mate, unless you got some funky oxy sensor with different thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Theres a boss already on the downpipe mate, unless you got some funky oxy sensor with different thread... Too close for permanent wideband installation to last really. Would probably be ok for bits of tuning here and there, but since I'm not borrowing the wideband I'd rather install it and leave it in there. Piece of mind to pop the bung in downstream a little further away from heat I think, have read a lot of comments on people having put wideband oxy's within 5" of turbo and having them fried under 6 months.

fuel Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 that's impressive! quite high power for relatively low boost! when did the HG pop in regards to that run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 that's impressive! quite high power for relatively low boost! when did the HG pop in regards to that run? Couldn't say, after that run when it was idling the lower hose blew off (due to rad cap not opening) he then tested with overflow bottle slowly running it up and 6000rpm it started to push water through.

Truenotch Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Wow... I'd suggest that you bring it to the track, but you will almost definitely die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP_wag Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Good numbers man, torque curve is fat as! I always knew there was more left in it, though gave up trying to get more power after kris tuned it to white knuckles @ 16psi, will be super loose on new tune! Much left in the injectors at 19psi?

Beaver Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 1000nm torque? or is that not actual torque? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep injectors were good to go, the limiting factor would have been the map sensor, which was the same issue I had on the 4e at 21psi haha. Was even good timing there still!

peteretep Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 could it be that once the water fell out of the engine it cooled too quickly? and something warped, or maybe just a part of something cooled too quickly and warped? amazing power though gotta say, with that avatar, I keep imagining peter griffin is making the comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 would have blowen before dropped water. pressurized the radiator and popped hose off. they suffer from weak headbolt syndrome. whack some decent bolts in them an will be ok. alistair: giz a gezz at that fancy speedtech tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
