Is Bad Tune To Blame (white Plugs/engine Failure)


Recommended Posts

Well my options in sydney are well regarded and i did attend one of the below listed nit saying hes not competent just saying that in my opinion things wernt done properly to ensure safe tuning add to that the fact that the car was in his hands the whole day

Options in sydney are:

Jim from Tunehouse, Marrickville (HKS Pro Gold Certified Dealers (Performance wholesale network))

Brian from Bel Garage, Regents Park (HKS Pro Gold Certified Dealers (performance wholesale network))

Tom from BD4's, Gladesville (independently certified by HKS Japan)

ok so let's say your injector failed all of a sudden.....or you pump....or wastegate diaphram perforated and it hit 40 psi all of a sudden. All of these things are possible yet they are not the tuner's fault.

It takes half a split second for a weak link in a chain to break. What part failed? What is broken? With all due respect, stop blaming the tuner until you have that puzzle together

^^^ point taken,

comp and leakdown test will be carried out.

Then well go from there, so do i just take it to anyone to perform theses engine health checks or na?

any reputable workshop for comp and leakdown test. don't let anyone open the motor unless they are qualified in engine forensics and are going to pull it down and give you a signed, written report on the cause of failure.

    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
