Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

They're a super complex intricate mind field maze of an engine definitely super technical and difficult lol

Working for a jeep dealership that's Different avenue man how'd that come about

Haha yeah I've poked around inside a couple before. They are well made, I'll give them that much.

I'm glad you picked the 5.7 and not the 5.0L. What a f**king piece of garbage those things are.

Not a Jeep dealership. 4WD workshop that specialises in Jeeps. Apparently I'm their 'tech guy'.

I get to do a lot of cool stuff there. Different stuff you don't normally see in a regular mech workshop. I like using my brain a little so it's still interesting to work there.

I'm doing night school at the same time though. Freshening up on some old hat skills I lost years ago

Would never use a dirty 5l but on a very sad side not there is a 5l r33 getting around qld :( it even has a vs commo front bar ffs

But yer, shame you don't know the technical side of it would of loved to pick your Brian in regards to stroker kits/cams.... Oh well

You coming out for charity cruise?

I can offer advise, whether it's good or not would be another story.

Probably the best person in the entire world you can talk to is Marty White from John White Race Engines. He can even build it for you if you want a tough engine. Marty has specialised in v8 killer engines for decades (read 30+ years). They build all that sorta stuff for the speedboats they race. 1000+hp N/A etc

Long long long story that I'm still not sure I understand... I'm not involved so i keep my loud mouth out of it

It's not worth understanding. Better to forget and move on.

It had a lot to do with no one wanting to do the work the club needed to get where it needed, people putting their hand up because they knew it needed to be done and no one else would do it, then everyone complaining about how the job was done or whatever. That's basically the general gist of what went down....for about 6 years

Yep yep, is he still out if gympie?

I believe he built my uncles speedway engine not so long back :)

Shit! sorry I tagged that f**king aweful photo back in...

Haha yep, I felt so bad when i saw it at qr... I automatically understood how diehard Nissan fans saw my car.

But my car dosent have a dirty slow heavy 5l in it.... The thing could barley turn tire let alone drift

I'm not sure exactly where he moved to. He used to be in Deshon St Woolloongabba next to Chilton Engineering but moved about a year ago.

If you are doing the work all yourself, I'd offer him money to give you advise. He's an extremely busy man but if you are paying for a little of his time, I'm sure you'll get every bit of info you need

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
