Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

After a few the oil in the SS got so hot after only a few hot laps on the weekend I'm seriously looking into a cooler for it. What are the views on thermostats? Required or not, remembering that my car gets used as a daily.

We rarely get cold enough to warrant a thermostat imo

This is what I was thinking but I also read a lot of posts (admittedly not on australian websites) recommending against running without one. Anyone running without one? Does your oil come up to temp fast enough?

I have had 2 cars without one and had no issues. In the depths of winter I have heard of people blocking some of the flow to the cooler but they were Sydney people.

I guess I could always add one later on if needed.

Greg do you think I was born yesterday, actually don't answer that lol. I'm not into leopards...

Interesting way to go. Same motor that is in the new CLA maybe? I was reading an article the other day that predicted in 20 years there would only be 6 car manufacturers and even the likes of BMW might not be big enough to survive on their own.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
