He's busy enough on the phone with enquiries I'm suprised he ever answers Pm's.
Just keep ringing him back though.
Ask for Matt (don't think people who answer the phone will know why j3ned is)

Not my engine exactly, its my dads 182, didn't really do anything! 22k miles and pop goes the weasel!

blimey, 22K on a 182 and pop goes the engine? what mods are on it?

 

[cat171]

take it back ? surely its still under warranty ?

 

[Spammy]

Cams, inlet work, maxogen and piggyback.

 

[Neil82]

Who did the mods on it?

 

[Final Maxim]

gdi iirc. i remember the thread on the old forum

 

[theduck]

oh dear thats not good

 

[Spammy]

Im sure none of the mods were anything to do with it! My dad (who's 182 it is) gets a bit over excited at times and tends to over rev and in this instance missed a gear! Oopsie

 

[BexKTR]

just called chris (the owner) re this, we are going to help out in anyway we can.

looks like it was "ever so slightly" over revved though.... ooops.... did that once myself.

[Floodie]

sorry, but whats "over revved"?? as i rev quite hard and already been through 1 cup engine!...

 

[BexKTR]

missed a shift......... like 8500 rpm!

 

[BexKTR]

rev limiter is fine.... its kinda like when you mean to go into 4th and you get 2nd.... revola!

 

[Neil82]

I nearly did that (2nd instead of 4th) on the first day I got my Cup, nearly soiled myself. New 182 engines aint 'that' expensive from J3ned so hopefully it will be back to full strength asap.

 

[Andy GDI]

indeed. the price is supprisingly good from matt, there are a few others as well that do well priced engines.

surely over revving it once wouldnt make it go bang,are you sure it wernt a fueling problem?

Go for a drive in your car rev it to max revs in 3rd gear then put it into 2nd instead of 4th and see what happens.

 

[Andy GDI]

matty

it was mapped to the correct fueling about 12 months ago.... i guess one of the injectors could have caused it.... but

i called chris earlier about it, and he buzzed very shortly before it let go.... slightly coincidental.....

i am taking a look at the old engine to work out what happened.
