what boost was it tuned at?

[Hanaldo]

This has gone full retard.

[LANDSCRIBBLE]

You never go full retard!

yeah i meant i would be doing all the stuffing around while on the dyno. if its all caused by detonation then there is my answer, i didnt realize detonation could wear out rings. but it is good to know that the tune is to blame. so thanx *** *********** for all the problems you have caused, apart from the oil pouring out which was caused by the rings dieing due to prolonged detonation im guessing. that same detonation sound could be heard from the second i picked up my car, thats half the reason i called them 10 minutes after i picked it up, and never got a call back.

oh well new motor and new tuner, lets hope it all goes well.

25 psi was the problem not the tune per se. Please understand this FFS. Just a few secs of det at this boost level toasted your motor not 'prolonged det'.

If you go back far enough the issue was setting up boost control on an untuned stock ecu and had moments of uncontrolled boost. Was warned not to do this.

Advised to get engine management asap and to drive the car gently until tuned but he continued to set up boost control with different actuators with an untuned Nistune. There was audible knock while doing this. On more than one occasion.

Then finally took car to EFI for tuning.

IMO the damage was done prior and EFI were left with a sick engine to start with.

i wish i knew if it had been tuned at all, if they did actually tune it, im not sure if they actually did now that i think about it but thats not for discussion at this current moment, i would assume it was tuned with the 20psi dropping to 14 psi.

im sorry i that didnt realize that even boost cut was too high for engine to run at for the split second my hit it oh wait that has been happening for 3 years with the stock turbo.

[wolverine]

Did you set up your boost controller with the HG SS1 turbo with an un-tuned ecu?

Did you hit >20psi while doing this?

Did you hear audible knock while doing this?

Yes, meaning it wasn't tuned for 20psi in the correct load cells. You put more load on the engine and add more boost without tuning for it then of course it's going to detonate.

I don't get your comment about the TP cut. If you increase the boost at all over factory then there is a chance it will detonate. This is why you get your AFR's checked when you do modifications like that, you don't just let it hit TP cut for 3 years thinking that means it is safe

I only ran the 18psi for a short drive, I thought it had the smaller actuator on, later confirmed that the smaller one was the second one in the box, until I took the car to the dyno I had the 7psi actuator on and wasn't revving past 3500/4000 as that's when it got to 10psi.. I swapped it about 30mins before I got to the dyno and I drove very sedately for those 20km.

And no I didn't have any audible knock as that only hit at 6000ish rpm. That all started on the way home, that's why I was concerned.

[lilcrash]

The boost cut issue wasn't something I tried to make happen, it normally made 11/12 psi. On cold mornings it would spike ocasionally without warning.

And before this gets turned against me too, yes every time it happened I turned it down a bit more.

I doubt anyone is still reading my threads but I got my head back today, $36 for a valve and $658 for the machinist and it's like new again.

[GTR260]

Thats cheap compared to what i paid last time i had a head done

[DVS JEZ]

Good work dude. When do u reckon it will all be back together?

[lilcrash]

I'm not sure, the machinist hasn't touched the block yet. I've had to put it off until I have more cash. Christmas has emptied my pockets. But with any luck I should have it back on the road and fully tuned for my birthday in march. If I decide to keep it. I'm wondering if someone would be interested in buying it before i even turn the key.

[lilcrash]

Ok I'm stuck again, is there a way to get around having to remove the drivers side cv, I need to be able to push the car back in the garage after the engine comes out.

[Rolls]

Put the front of the car on a trolley.

[lilcrash]

Yeah that's my next idea. Just thought it was worth asking.

[lilcrash]

Ok all loose just won't slide out of the gearbox. On a positive note. My cv is rooted and I had a broken engine mount. explains my horrible vibrations.

[mico]

thats positive ? whats a negative ?

[lilcrash]

i thought i needed to get new brakes broken cvs are a positive.
