Hi all,

The engine is now well run in. Has just under 1000kms on it.

But i now have a small exhaust leak coming from somewhere under the manifold(i hope its not the manifold) the exhaust note is very angry, i kind of like it lol

And my gearbox has developed a whine. Sounds like it has straight gears in it. The gearbox has seen better days and was planning to swap it out for a new OEM one. I guess it will be happening sooner than expected.

Im dropping the oil and filter again tomorrow to put some good stuff in it. It will be getting its full tune on the 7th of August at JEM's new factory.

So if anyone has nothing better to do on a Thursday morning swing past and check it out.

Ok exhaust leak is fixed. The flange on the wastegate to screamer was not bolted up correctly.

Now the car is alot quieter. Especially when the gate cracks open :rolleyes:

Thanks for the comment Marlon see you out at Adams.

Hi all,

Had the car tuned on Thursday and came out with a nice result. However the first few runs the boost was climbing like crazy,up to 25psi before Adam backed off. The wastegate is too small and will need a bigger one fitted. So as a bandaid fix Adam crimped the BOV vacuum line,we got a base boost level of 17psi.

So i asked Adam to do a basic tune to that boost level. With only 45mins on the dyno we achieved this result:

As you can see the power delivery is very smooth and is still making power over 7000rpm. He said with more tuning we will see 300rwkw at this boost level easily.

Adam tells me at 20psi and a good day on the dyno 320rwkw will be achievable.

On the road it feels bloody amazing,and just keeps pulling all the way to the redline.

But the car will be off the road for a little longer so i can get a few little issues sorted.

Hey Dave, like i said before great outcome on only 17 pound!! Spewing i missed you down there, i should've known you'd be in there first thing. Must be a nice handful on the street. Definately be watching your next dyno run on 20+ pound :banana:

PS how awesome is Adams new shop!? He'll be loving it once its all set up with 4wd dyno etc

cmon be fair. shit happens sometimes, god knows I've had 2 motors that didn't even make 1000klm due to unexpected problems.

Its up to Dave to say what happened if he wants to. pretty simple problem with nasty results.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
