I did go to another workshop and they told me that standard injectors world only handle 210kw and i have proof that mine did 265kw. they also said that my turbo wouldn't handle over 250kw but is has, twice, on two different dynos. so i don't know who to talk too.

they were right... standard injectors pushing 265 rwkw is just stupid... 220-230 is the general consensus. of course you CAN cheap out on an fpr and bump up the rail pressure on your 15 year old squirtes to run them at 99% duty... but why would you? would you bungee jump with 15 a year old bungee that was stretched to 99% of its capacity? didn't think so....

Been there done that with this sort of issue.... a number of times.

Unless you can prove their work is the cause of the problem you probably going to have a hard time getting any money back. If it gets nasty id give them the option to fix and tell them you will trash their business as much as you can if they dont.

Threaten to post an add in a local paper or something like that.

be reasonable 1st - see what the guy is offering. if he wants to charge you 5k+ to rebuild the engine, then see if you can reach some sort of agreement. if he won't budge you can always talk to Consumer Affairs.

as most have said, yo may be better off going elsewhere.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Ha ha, yeah, I've had one following me around in my parts boxes since about 2007 I believe. Just a little iddy bit hole drilled in the one I have to let it vent out once pressure was removed from the engine side. Still no idea what I'd put it on, ha ha.

      Anybody affected by the M1 minefield this morning?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...

      Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.

      Or you mean the age old problem of early 2000's manual boost tees, where they never let the pressure out of the line between the boost tee, and the waste gate, so after your first trip on boost, the damn wastegate liked to stay open and be laggy on gear change?
