Steve Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I wouldnt 'blast' it at all mate. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Jon, what is the point of asking for advice if you are going to ignore it? My advice was and still is that it is stupidity to run that car with a stock ECU and therefore a map set up for a twin turbo configuration after changing to a single turbo set up. Now, that might not be what you want to hear but it is an honest opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 There is only one answer to that....thank you. I take all the advice i have been given and the car will be run, but be run off boost. Sometimes i feel it needs someone to kick you up the arse before you will listen to what you dont want to hear, so thanks CJ. Harsh but fair! No more big balls for me for a few weeks! Cheers everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Superb mate, and only running 0.8 bar! hope to run at least 1.2 when its mapped! The noise is something else though. A.K.A orgasm in a tunnel Its SOOOOOOO noisy, but really quiet at 70, and off boost so hope to get good MPG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I'll tell you what thought mate, It'll move a damned site quicker when it's been leaned out!! Yeah 10 is rich. It won't be like "foot to the floor - instantaneous BANG, engine is in pieces" kind of situation, but it's not the best. Leon at JPS set my car up so that it was running mid 9's (AFR's not seconds - I only wish!) at high rpm and I ran it at that for nearlly 2 years until I found out and got in amongst it. It dived from mid 12's (Too lean) in the mid range to mid 9's over the space of about 500 rpm or so. It was like a parachute was opening at the back of my car! Also running that rich, you may get the occasional mis-fire/stutter. Basically CJ's right. You want to get it mapped before you hammer it too much.

Jake Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 what do you mean by bore wash??I don't think anyone has answered this for you yet. Bore wash is when there's too much petrol going into the cylinder so not all of it gets burnt. The unburnt fuel can drain past the piston rings and dilute (and ruin) the engine oil. Obviously having the engine oil mixed with unburnt petrol is a bad thing. I suppose that high mileage engines with worn rings and bores would suffer oil contamination more easily.
