Simon-S14 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Just a suggestion but the tuner could have set rev limit to hard cut at 2000 which would have made it easier to diagnose Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/400089-massive-air-leak/page/2/#findComment-6367232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanaldo Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Oh hey guise Just a suggestion but the tuner could have set rev limit to hard cut at 2000 which would have made it easier to diagnose They may have done this, I'm not sure how they found it in the end, I went in to give them a hand on Friday and they had already found the problem and sorted it out. Just kept me in the dark about it, they must like suspense almost as much as me I'll post pictures hopefully later today guys, pictures are worth a thousand words...

Hanaldo Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Well... Sort of. Not really. I can't for the life of me understand what happened. I certainly didn't do it. But I can't see how my workshop would have done it either. Will make more sense when I post photos. Which I can't do yet because I haven't got the car back yet Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/400089-massive-air-leak/page/2/#findComment-6368422 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanaldo Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Sort of forgot about it with all the other problems now. Was a huge hole in the cylinder 1 collector on the intake manifold. No idea how it happened. Seems incidental now. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/400089-massive-air-leak/page/2/#findComment-6377075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVS JEZ Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Explain the hole. Could this have damaged a valve or stick a valve open? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/400089-massive-air-leak/page/2/#findComment-6377084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTScotT Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Explain the hole. Could this have damaged a valve or stick a valve open? IE could it have created debris that the motor could have ingested on its maiden limiter bash?

Hanaldo Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Explain the hole. Could this have damaged a valve or stick a valve open? Possibly, I imagine when you shatter a cast alloy manifold like that there will be some debris. But I don't know which cylinder the valve problem is on, if it is only cylinder 1 then I imagine the shattered manifold was the cause. I'm just waiting for my tuner to add up how much I owe them and then I'm going in to get the car home, so I'll post photos in a few hours. IE could it have created debris that the motor could have ingested on its maiden limiter bash? Again, quite possible. Thing is, I would expect that shards of cast alloy getting stuck in the valve guides would cause more of a permanent problem than just on full load power runs, ie. bent valves?
