Another Very Happy Boostworx Customer!

[writeoff]

Ahh ok that looked nice, yeh it was just in there for its run in tune....freshly rebuilt engie, within the next month we are doin the full power tune when its run in.

That's the one I'm selling. My real GTR is waiting on new HKS turbos from Nengun. What are you expecting/hoping to get at the wheels?

[sinistaGTR]

yeh found my prob now wil call shaun asap and paully yes i remember i got myself there....yes you got me home lol

[whatsisname]

Sinistagtst, I had a quick look at your 33 last Sat'. It looks like it has all the required 'goodies' in the engine bay. Is it a GT3540? And what cams are you running?

[Deluxe]

Was that yours in the dyno room this afternoon? Were you in the camo gear?

Im surprised you could see him.............

[sinistaGTR]

haha lol i was trying to hide nah lol, yep ANOTHER VER HAPPY boostworx customer here got car back 2day

[whatsisname]

Hey Dan, I'm guessing you want to keep the answers to my questions (see my post above) a secret.

[sinistaGTR]

just for the moment lol until its run in and there might be a cam change by then aswell lol

[Tangles]

bah !

get to boostworx today, car engine hot as *%#@ coolant leaking out, temp guage sky high and smoke from engine.

Lol; busted radiator, right on time, replacing with thicker item.

take off turbo and manifold and the manifold drops into 2 pieces, was split in two. only done 100km since I last had the car here as I knew it was sick. Lol; replacing with a standard unit as I reckon a cheap stainless steel jobby isnt worth while.

expensive day, looks like shell cost me a grand all up.

pressure test radiator, shagged, get replacement thicker item, fit, flus and fill, take off pipework, manifold splits in two, get replacement same item, drill out and replace all exhaust studs, fit new manifold gasget, replace etc etc, install (perhaps, time permitting) adjustable exhaust cam gear pulley, drop front driveshaft and tune safc / sitc for the Slide highflow turbo.

Im awaiting for another phone call from Shaun, lol, you never know.

better be reliable after this, Im broke !

new battery for the bike today (advertiser tomorrow, $7700), doctors and painkiller script, mates up for dinner (chinese & carton bourbs)

very expensive day, lol. damned 'lucky' so to speak I didnt pay the mortgage this month

Tehehehehe

Sometimes it can be bad fuel that was put in your tank, as though this happened to us..We always use bp 98 and it starting knockn high again, so we adjusted the timing on the power fc..if u got one you could just so that, otherwise, just give them a bell and let him know, he might b able to lead u in the right direction b4 you being to feel disapointed.

Take it back because some thing is obviously not quite right with it.

Once its tuned its tuned, unless you manually select to initialize the powerfc it shouldn't start knocking.

Another place to look is dodgy knock sensors, bad crank angle sensor or excessive blowby that is causing the knock.

There's obviously something up with the car. Get it back on the dyno to see whats wrong with it.

IF its just a bit of high knock when loading it up in a high gear at low rpm this is because its near impossible to simulate road conditions on the dyno.

[Cubes]

LOL Tangles.. Always the way. Mind you thats some pretty bad luck. Cast manifold splitting in two?!?!?! :S

lol

yeah I'll see it abit later today hopefully, not sure exactly on the end result, but by the sounds of it either way the manifold is SHAGGED, split, kaput. just replacing with a stnd one, but still there goes some wasted ca$h hey

[Adz2332]

Ok im new to this so plz dont call me dumb (actully go on u kno u want to) is it ok to get a knock say in forth gear doing 60 when u say accelerate hardish up to lik 80?

What sort of knock levels are you getting on the hand controller? or is it audible?

That depends if its always done it or was fine for 4weeks after it was tuned like you said a few posts up.

IF it was fine then all of a sudden it has started knocking again then no its not fine some thing is up with the car.

IF its done it since its been tuned then also.. no its not fine, but its just a slight tuning issue.

Take it back for a touch up as its difficult to simulate all road load conditions on a dyno. Tell Shaun what road speed and gear its doing it at and he will fix it up.

Its no big deal, just give him a buzz and let him know whats going on. But do make sure you make mention that it was fine for the first month or so and has started knocking and explain the conditions of when it knocks.

Regarding high knock... I'd be concerned with anything over 45ish. Occasionally you might get the odd little spike to 40 odd but thats nothing to worry about. If its always hitting over 45ish then all that is required is a degree from one or two of the load/rpm points.

I've been going to Shaun for ages and he is the best!

I've had many different types of cars and been to many different places but he is still by far the best!

I wouldn't go anywere else!

[Tangles]

I wouldn't go anywere else!

yeah, I wont be.

very happy with there level of service.

ended up being a $800 experience, exhaust manifold was definately snapped clean in half, quite a site.

replaced with stock, and a stockish radiator. new exhaust studs, redid all the intercooler piping (they asked who did it, dodgy me lol!) for me, tuned.

the rear muffler is hugely restrictive (sooooo quiet), was going to replace over xmas but didnt so now I will get a higher flowing item when possible, and have the adj.exhaust cam wheel installed, all tuned to 16psi. would expect around 210+ rwkw then. but for now, it feels super responsive....... comes on boost so nicely, cant tell this is a 1900kg vehicle (full wet weight + me).

for cube's analization:

almost quick enough for a family wagon, but time to shop ebay; muffler lol :sorcerer:
