And will affect response

nope they need to sort it out. if you bring it somewhere else they will wash their hands of it

Make sure its up to temp first....

Good power to 7500. So what if it doesnt make peak hp after this. Get it back and drive it and make sure there are no more gremlins. Enjoy the response because that is how it was setup. Dont worry about dyno queen figures......... just drive the f#$kin thing.

Just thinking to myself.... I feel more anxiety over and your car in than my own. Ha ha. Ha. Might have to drive up from Melbourne so you can take me for a spin when you get it back.

True. Sorry mate. Sometimes a bit of friendly banter gets taken the wrong way if your not in the right frame of mind. But the main thing is that Pete beat the Tiida .... That's the main thing even at 10000 rpm. Would have sounded awesome.

Bit angry today Pete

Meh...... There is always someone faster. I won't lose sleep over it. Would have been fun though.

And the issue was? .... Me no understando. Must have been a delight to drive.

Should be alright though. T4 split pulse .84 rear so should be huffing away by 4000

I like waiting.

All of the above. He he. Love it. Seeing you're such a fan of 26s, I think you will like to know I am putting a t04z on mine shortly. More lag, just the way you like it, he he

You've got me excited now. He he

The best.......rev the guts out of it man.

Based on others, 6266 is better for higher revs on a 3.2. Your 62 rear is probably restricting exhaust gas flow. Even if you increase boost its a scenario of diminishing returns comparing to a bigger turbo, but the trade off would be low end. But the 3.2 will look after that to a point.

Doesn't sound that bad Pete. The new dump will improve response, something you should really feel driving it rather than see on a dyno. Obviously the turbo was selected for response so that's why its running out of puff up top on a 3.2 and why the bigger dump isnt making much difference in the top end. Don't stress about it. As long as all the tuning is done right so you don't have the previous issues. Don't worry about e85 either, it would be a head f**k for a daily seeing that its becoming more scarce. See how you go but I recon it should be exactly what you want. Hope so anyway.

Yeah I agree. It was just an interesting read I thought I would share. I suppose his conclusions may be more relevant to tolerances of the engines he assembled.

True...... sort of. LS engines come to mind. So do turbo charged engines with forged internals.

^^^^^ Totally agree with this. Lubrication optimization is obviously essential but the less impurities and other waste byproducts it contains, the less wear on engine components. That's why frequency of oil change is just as important and weight. That's why I have always liked diesel oil with its cleaners and high zinc contents. Also talking about cold temperature wear, I find it hard to believe it is so significant at low rpm. I remember years ago in the bobtheoilguy site that an engine builder was talking on this topic and was elaborating on the fact that when the engine is cold, tolerances are increased significantly, therefore there is an advantage for a higher oil viscosity. His theory( which he practiced for over 50 years), was that it would minimise piston slap, protect the rings and assist the bearing from mechanical wear when cold due to the fact that the oil film was much thicker and could provide a structural support film. He recommended a 40-50 weight mineral and also mentioned that a simple sump heater to keep temp at 20 degrees would be optimal.

Its the lack of respect that leaves a bad taste. That they can't even spare 2 minutes to keep him updated. Poor form doesn't matter which way you look at it.

Don't dis slick50. It held my spun bearing together for ages.

Very sad man. Very sad.

Really? Monograde mineral?
