Hey guys,

after driving my stagea normally what happens is i put my car in neutral and i pull my handbrake up, i then hear a click and then i turn the ignition off and the turbo timer kicks in.

the other day i went to my car and it was beeping .. 3 beeps and then a pause and then two beeps

i then started my car and it stopped.

i turned my car off and then the beeping continued, i then went for a drive and was at the lights so i decided i would check to see if the turbo timer was still working, so i pulled my handbrake up, heard the click and then i turned it off, and no turbo timer....

Normally what happens is when i dont turn my car off with the turbo timer i let it cool down and then i hear another click and i know that the turbo timer wont turn on.

Now i drive for a few seconds and then it clicks off, while i am driving, it doesnt normally do that.....

so i ripped my dash apart and finally found what is making those clicks...

A-731E

s/n 51201118

halfway through the putting the dash back into the car i decided to test it to see if the car would start and just to make sure i didnt knock any wires out of place. Turned the car on and then off and the turbo timer kicked in.

but yeah. any help would be greatly appreciated , i would like to fix this issue and i dont really have the money to go get another one put in.

Thanks

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
