I'll take the credit for that,

Plenty of horses in the yard..

 

"This is not a Test Track" :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

The boys got a little excited once they had their repairs done and took the cars for a drive test..

One of the neighbours put out a sign reading
"This is not a test track" :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

anyone get a picture of the sign?

 

Didn't get a picture, But........

Did ya see the look on the guys face as we were all leaving. Noticed someone in front of me gave it a boot to piss him off as well.

LOL

Was shaking fists and his head as well.

LOL

Apologies to the Neighbors:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:

Cheers Fate

 

Back on the road again......

All up it was a great tech day.

Unfortunatly we were unable to completly remove and replace both O2 sensors due to rust and siezed passenger side sensor. Fortunatly we were able to jerry rig the old sensor in to plug the hole so I could get home.

Thank you all those who helped out, I know I couldn't have done it myself if I tryed.

I did manage to get home safely without blowing out the 'plug'. It was slow going trying not to spool the turbos.

Thanks to Garry's donor Dump pipes the white beast is back on the road. hopefully wont have to go through that again for a long time.

Thanks again for a great day.

 

Good news Andrew. :thumbsup:

 

POST TECH DAY .... FOLLOW UP JOBS >>> !!!!! many thanks ..

to zed4life for identifying my potential power steering bearing problem ... by tuesday, over at rob's place, the noise had developed significantly and on rob's advice we whipped it straight up the road to autotech (Gavin woods)... first check, no fluid in reservoir and after top up, a pool of fluid on the workshop floor .. diagnosis, split high pressure hose and now repaired ... SAVED !!!!!

and many thanks to k-zed for his incredible patience and time in identifying and repairing my r/s mongoose alarm/central locking issue ..now have remote lockie/openie back in action ...hallelujah ..!!!

black baz ... happy boy ...!!

 

Re: POST TECH DAY .... FOLLOW UP JOBS >>> !!!!! many thanks ..

Great news to both Andrew and Black Baz,

Baz isnt it great when it's something easily rectified .. !!

 

Changing the TPS

hmm...

on the wednesday before tech day i got my car dyno tuned...

at the tech day the consult showed me that the tps was 0.1 out (was 0.32 should of been 0.44)

we reset this, car felt good but was detonating after 5000 RPM........

Took it back to tuners today and they said.... Changing the TPS affected the tune, and that it was advancing too much! The guys retarded my timing until it stopped detonating, all is good now......

Be warned....


PS Me and another guy had to sit on the back of my car so it would hold traction on the dyno! Damn those turbos are noisy!

 

What ECU & boost do you run?

Correct TPS setting is circa .45v, [anything between .40 & .50 is ok], therefore something else is wrong with your tune and you may not be getting all available power as the ECU relies on a correct TPS setting for fuel mapping.

Might be a good one to post up in Zed-related forum.??

 

chiptorque chip

16psi boost!!!

 

I had similar problem

Needed timing pulled out at high RPM.

 

timing pulled out?

so how exactly is this done?

i think i'll get a power FC.

 

Re: timing pulled out?

Gavin Wood re-tuned my ECU & retarded timing in the high rpm maps so I could run 14psi.
