I guess you owe $5

Frankly it's not a big commendation of the quality of the tune.

No surprise there. Which is good.

I don't know much about tuning but i own and driven a car that i know for sure ran rich for a while and it certainly turnt into a slapper, not saying yours will, but it must create more wear so wondering if this is a running in strategy?? could it be or not..

I had a chat to croydon about this build.

I want the same motor!

[Duncan]

umm no. running a motor rich while it is new is very bad for it, fuel in the bores causes glazing, preventing the rings from bedding in properly.

in bad cases it can need a strip down and re-hone to fix it.

This, excessive rich is bad, just not as bad as really lean

[Gts-t]

What plugs were they?

thats all I need

new plugs in and will not be driving it until they have a look at what is going on using the info I give them and connecting to the ECU and adjusting the tune.

[Duncan]

yeah sorry, not trying to alarm just inform.

also the other issue for excessively rich tune on a new motor is fuel gets past the unbedded rings and into the oil...and petrol is terrible for bearings.

I think the motor is fine and once sorted it will be a very good all round DD , just frustrating

Why would you want the same motor

Cold plug ,, they have run the same type since I had the car BCPR7ES , think it is a 0.8mm gap

What did they say?

When are they starting?

[zebra]

hah They said I can't afford it

[Scooby]

Can't afford it if you live on the central coast and need to take it there three times, petrol and accomodation is expensive.

How rich does it need to be to foul plugs, and how rich to cause running in problems? Big or small difference? Hopefully rich enough to foul plugs doesn't mean rich enough to cause problems running in.

Accommodation or transportation are equally expensive and a pain in the arse, but that is my problem.

I would also like to know "how rich" is too rich and how long before it can cause damage? I see it can even contaminate your oil if it is bad enough and that cant be good!

It seems too lean or too rich causes problems, but rich seems to be preferred to lean

[Nismo 3.2ish]

just about back to the original thread topic, my fuel is too rich and then once it is leaned out a bit, will it give a better power result..

I know now that after a short time with new plugs you can feel the car getting more sluggish and it is not long before it wont rev much past 6000rpm without playing up.
