You'll eat your words one of these days !

 

[Steveyb_evo3]

Woo hoo she's alive congrats mate mines done 600 miles running 4 oil changes and 4 full spanner and torque checks so far lol mapping soon

oh and don't let foxy get to ya that spoiler won't let her do over a ton so u will be fine lol

 

[B6lee]

Steve that's alot of spanner checks. You paranoid or what ?

 

[Nickygixer-k5]

well done mate lets hope it stays going

 

[leo]

hay back in the land of the living well done and like above lets hope it lasts good work m8

 

[B6lee]

Ir it will last. Stupid fuse holder won't spoil the engine this time

 

[Steveyb_evo3]

Yes very it's the 3rd time it's been done lol

 

[B6lee]

Well done 30 miles in her Saturday night and got her up in the air for a check over. Discovered a small oil leak from the oil return pipe on the underside of the turbo. So changed that for a better one and been out and done another 60 miles tonight to go meet some of the Bristol Evo owners and all is now very well indeed. Drove there and back in convoy with a mate of mine in his normally lower powered evo V and he was more than happy to blow me away for a change as I'm unable to give mine to much of the loud pedal and with only running 1:00bar boost it ain't gonna get me far even if I did try lol

 

[Steveyb_evo3]

U bringing it on boost already?

 

[And@fcm]

thats good to hear well done lee

 

[B6lee]

U bringing it on boost already?

Steady as she goes yea

 

[evoaps]

Steady as she goes yea

fair play mate

 

[B6lee]

I have always been led to believe that if you don't run any boost then the rings won't bed into the bores and then they will glaze over.
This is due to the fact that unlike normal aspirated engine a turbo engine runs much lower compression so you need to run a small amount of boost to help force the rings into the bores like they would do on a normally aspirated engine

 

[Steveyb_evo3]

Mine has now done 1100 miles and giving it standard boost the last 600 no oil used at all and no boost b4 that at all

 

[B6lee]

600 miles under the belt now and final oil change done. Back to running silcolene pro s 10/50.
I've lifted the boost level back to it's normal level and normal power has been restored

Gave her a couple gentle squirts and yea, I've missed that 500bhp happy boy again now

Just a trip over to see Antony at indigo-Gt to get him to check the fueling is all ok and to show me what this should read and when.
Something I wish I bought sooner lol

lee you should be looking for about 12.5 on peak torque then tailing off to about 11.7 at the redline, idling and general crusing about 14.7

Yea that's what I thought lol idle is anywhere between 14 and 16 at the mo. Needs smoothing out a little. Gauge does fluctuate alot so hard to pin point exactly what it's doing. While trying to keep eye on the road at same time lol

 

[And@fcm]

sounds like you need a co-pilot
