OIL leak sorted, Turbo Return to Block

[merc85]

As above after a new seal and washer's she is now all sorted,

And i can say she goes like Stink with her 18t.

5th gear acceleration at 70 ish mph is outstanding.

And the lower gear's By Christ certainly feel Rapid.

Hardly no lag And at 3k she really gets up and go's

Thanks for everyones help in sorting the leak

hey merc, well done mate. The persistance and hard work has finally paid off.......

[merc85]

This car is wearing me out Finacially and mentally lol

But she's really coming together now, although i think a Brake upgrade is Now required, the 302's just dont inspire any confidence.

Good lad. Glad you got it sorted!!

[volvo]

i know mate....you can keep spending on them...i was hoping the 302's would be OK i guess but not for 18/19T tuned power.....let the new year roll on and see how you go...in the mean time, SLOW down and dont let Gav line up with you teasing ya to race lol

[merc85]

Good lad. Glad you got it sorted!!

Thanks mitchy,

[volvolised]

Glad its sorted merc, thanks for the sleepless nights..lol have you had your ecu mapped for it. if not and to protect your rods never give it full throttle at low revs in a high gear as that will be bend rods territory...i'm sure you'll enjoy .

well done mate still no 19t though is it lol

The only time i will be racing is on the 1/4 buddy, i'm completly content with the power of her now.

Wanna get her all set up properly with another remap just to tidy any loose end's. and a rollin road session would be interesting.

1st second and third are ok if from standstill( you'll hold back cos of wheelspin anyway) just dont give it full chat if already in 4th or 5th at anything under 3k p.s did you fit a 3" downpipe too..a decat for a 1/4 will be excellent

Glad you got it sorted, i think you have the best turbo in the 18t

Would be good to see you at a few 1/4miles next year.

If you looking for a cheap map ask Hamish for a copy of the map i had done im sure he will do it for the standard rate as ive paid for the hard work lol, it was dyno'ed at 268 WHP and 456 n/m on my 16t, i then swopped to an 18t and it went even better

[Volvostorm]

Its good when its an easy fix
