thanks for the reply guys... yeh i think im very mechanically minded and id like to give self tuning a shot..... u guys road tune?? using wideband? and what wideband have u guys found/using and approx pricing :/

GTRpowa where can i download the software? also where did u guys purchase from? NZ? or distributor in aus?

+1 for the innovate widebands

Borrowed my mates LM-2 last night so I can use it through NIStune for the tune tomorrow.

Will be getting myself an LC-1 for tuning soon and another LC-1 to replace the narrowband in the car.

either way tunning is expensive to get it done correctly... i already have a POWER FC then im gonna source a wideband gauge + datalogit system and all that combined is abt 2K... then essentially after that its trial and error for me anyways

    • Depending on the hose, sometimes engine out is the easiest option  
    • Get an inspection camera up there. 
    • Yeah, but look at the margin in viscosity between the 40 and the 60 at 125°C. It is not very large. It is the difference between 7 and 11 cP. Compare that to the viscosity at only 90°C. The viscosity axis is logarithmic. The numbers at 90 are ~15 and ~35. That is about half for the 40 wt oil and <half for the 60. You give up viscosity EXPONENTIALLY as temperature rises. Literally. That is why I declare thicker oil to be a bandaid, and a brittle one at that. Keep the oil temperature under about 110°C and you should be better off.   Having said all of that, which remains true as a general principle, if you have indeed lost enough oil from the sump that the pump was seeing slightly aerated oil, then all bets are off. That would of course cause oil pressure to collapse. And 35 psi is a collapse given what you were doing to the engine. Especially if the oil was that hot and viscosity had also collapsed. And I would put money on rod or main bearings being the source of the any noise that registered as knock. Hydraulic lifters should be able to cope with the hotter oil and lower pressure enough to prvent too much high frequency noise, although I am willing to admit it could be the source.
    • Thanks for the reply mate. Well I really hope its a hose then not engine out job
