That's the explanation I came up with. But was it the standard injectors used to run the engine in or my new ones? how can I check my wiring?

When it was run for 800 miles it was just swapped into another car. So basically a low comp standard engine. It was just done to run it in. The he only time it's seen anything from the turbo was a quick blip of the throttle when I started it the other day. I'm not talking bouncing it off the...

Yes

I'm not bringing mapping into it a minute. It done 7-800 miles on the standard Renault map with standard injectors. Then it's been run for a few mins here and there on a base map and brand new Siemens injectors

It has done 7-800 miles on some old injectors that I don't know if they were good or not. The rest has been starting if up for a min or 2 with brand new Siemens deca injectors. Those 1-2 mins were barely enough to get it to overheat

I'm up for that dan. If there's nothing that can be done for these... I've got a new block on it's way so I have everything apart from gaskets required to build the engine back up then (minus the machining)

any more info? was that just a guess?

does anyone care to offer a possible explanation for this? gonna get my injectors checked just in case for the detonation, but the pickup on the block and piston skirts is worrying me now. Det by JaffmanRS, on Flickr Det by JaffmanRS, on Flickr Det by JaffmanRS, on Flickr Det by JaffmanRS, on...

ballers have semi-detached houses or above with detached garages with enough room to detail and mechanic around with 1 or more cars ;)

ballers do it in a garage ;)

Theres a 2.0 ecoboost in America that's up to 400bhp on standard internals. I could well bilieve 350 in the 1.6. Although it's pushing believability a bit

Kick the misses out, normally stops the moaning

You speedo needle on your telemetry bits seems to get a bit stuck towards the end...

as a general rule, if you feel it through the steering wheel its an issue with the front (anything that turns, wheels/disks etc.) and if you can feel it through the pedals/your arse, its a rear issue

Unless he is the bellend in one of the videos?

Not sure his car has enough power to get out the door...

mine is weeping oil down the flywheel end of the block. no idea how. with it being a turbo engine do i need a 1.6mm gasket? or can i get away with a fibrous one to take up any potential "non flat" bits

thats the general consensus mate, but i have heard the MLS gaskets can be re-used. i think this gasket is shagged anyway so im gonna change it i just dont know what to replace it with. this one has only lasted 800 miles lol

no one able to help? im gonna have to do it before putting it back into the car so need some ideas?

It was removed iirc. Someone in here has a copy though

thought it needed bits cut out of the subframe?

I don't want it lol I know exactly what my wires in my car do

do you have a multimeter? i have to say if you dont know what your doing with electrics you really shouldnt be messing about

Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6] Lol no mate, still a relative youngster! you have no idea how close it's been to scrap the last 4 years anyway lol. Ill refrain from spamming your thread anymore though :) I'll see you and it at llandow :)

So my turbo engines head gasket is leaking only weeping down the gearbox side of the engine but as it's out I thought I'd sort it now. i bought a 1.6mm multi layered steel gasket last time and I was under the impression these could be reused. Was I wrong? if yes, can someone point me in the...

Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6] It's linked in my avatar if you want a look mate. If it's not done by dec I'll scrap it lol

Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6] That sums the focus up tbh. Coupled with being an outstanding family car. sore subject lol. I'm hoping to have it in the road for my 25th in December but it should be ready before that. So then it all depends on insurance. It drops £300 once...

Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6] i was being sarcastic lol. The focus is brilliant! When the meg is done we will have to go out for a spin!

Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6] Must admit aside from the last 3 or 4 pages the previous 20 were f**king dull lol. Bit at least your getting there. Yeah 4 years and counting. It's nearly there though ;) ive be had to suffer with a focus st in the mean time :( lol
