its all to do with how its delivered and when its delivered in the rpm range. its a tuff one to explain but a sc running 10psi will hit full boost at top revs so delivering linear torque (constantly trying to make more and more power as its flow is based directly to revs), a turbo one will chuck...
some last and others dont, my other clio used to bounce at 7800 with bodies and 428s all day long and never batted an eye lid, ive not tried to go past stock revs with this one tho
goes well bud, gota be in the 5secs to 60 an pulls like a train top end. shame the response to most on here who ask about the 1.6 engine is to swap it out for an f4r
see for me i like to find the limit of things before i go to the next step, im going to see if i can go for 300 for a while on the stock lump, if it blows it blows if not its all fun.
depends what you want, i see the fun in going all out forging it then blowing it and having it all there...
i need to get to brunters for a run, i may have seen a gps 150 with revs left to go and it got there quite quick. would act be nice to see what it could do
mines fine, engines on 100k and still going strong and as bomber said we run more power than the normal kits. i have done one gearbox but the curent one seems to be holding up well, the last one was an unknown when i fitted it, this one i striped and put back together myself. i use mine everyday...
Plus the slating of certain rollers? You were happy with your result at the time until mine ran more? U then spoke to Ktec and then said to me "rich maps them lean so it won't last long" my cars done 10k since with alot of abuse and track work?
It's the contradiction that I question. If The car was all good then why then take it to tdf to check out? Them say it was as good as it can be but then say they couldn't unlock the ecu? How would they even know if the timing or fueling couldn't be taken further if they cant get into the ecu to...
I did all 4 on mine in situe after they blew out on the dyno, but I'm pikey and would of then stripped it if it didn't work. Lots of grease helped but if it wasn't mine the head would be off to do the job
I'm sure they wouldn't sell it without fitting if it was a specialist job, if it cones with instructions your on to a winner. Everyones different and I'll usually give most things a go before getting a specialist to do the work, if your handy with a spanner you'll be fine. Give it ago and if...
id try ringing them to start with, unless your actually driving the actuator will always be pulling the wastegate closed. plus the actuator wouldnt cause a missfire evenif the pipe work to it has a leak.
when did it start, when does it do it?
dont do it, leave the car alone for a few months then come back to it and see how you feel. ill chuck mine back together when the sc unit is back and you can see how it can all be ok, u worry too much about it.
