Total washout today, sat on our arses till 4pm.

Let us out for restricted laps, somehow blew a coolant hose off when on the gas one lap :(

Then found the oil cooler leaking pretty bad once on the garage. Going to use a 180 fitting to bypass it and throw this cooler in the bin. Pretty bad quality for an Earls item, both fittings snapped off in the past, the brazing is just really bad.

Anyway, hope to be fixed in the morning for more aquaplaning :rolleyes:

Here is a skid from the other day.

Took it back to Earls when the second fitting snapped off, Martin wouldnt replace it because he said I should have come when the first one snapped?!

I said the brazing is obviously not strong enough as both fittings have snapped off... No dice.

Brand new cooler, both fittings broke off on first use, no refund?

Pretty open and shut, try once more then take it to fair trading.

Only questions I'd have are were the hoses supported well or able to move around fatiguing the joint? And when the fittings were done up was a second spanner used on the cooler end to make sure it doesn't twist.

Crap summer to be doing skids in a high power car, eh?

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
