Hope all goes well for you on track ryan. Is it going back to RS tuning anytime soon.

Nope not till i have a controller had it fully mapped now

shouldn't need it if it's been mapped right. Normally good practice to reduce boost slightly for the track becuase of heat soak, but this is fairly low boost anyway so debateable if it's necessary IMO

so nothing can fail out on track then to witch will make it lean out??

at least det monitors will give you this indication.

 

[RSTuning]

If i had to choose, EGT gauge IMO

 

[n0rm]

^^ indeed paul he needs something fo sho!

 

[RSTuning]

And as it happens i have a PLX devices EGT gauge sat on the shelf lol

 

[n0rm]

haha ching ching

How much are they though?

 

[n0rm]

i paid 200 quid for my aem wideband...that includes O2 sensor

 

[LegoHead]

I got a techedge wideband and sensor datalogger for £100ish off the ebay. You can add four thermocouples and a couple of voltage inputs and log them.

 

[RSTuning]

About 150 quid

 

[Ryan k]

About 150 quid

What do they look like?

 

[RSTuning]

Juat a gauge and module with a k-type sensor to go into the exhaust.

[Ryan k]

Might think bout one soon

Where would you put all the boxes to them???

 

[RSTuning]

Just a single sensor module, can put it anywhere really.

chill your boots and stop taking thinks the wrong way. I run a Phormula KS3 knock meter, an Omori EGT gauge and various other early warning meters so I do know what's necessary on a highly tuned turbo car. I just regard this as it is as fairly mild in the boost it's pushing so it's fairly on the safe side already.

I'd regard oil pressure and temperature as highly important for the track as even if there's no fault with the running of the engine, you can just keep going and thoroughly cook the internals.

 

[Ryan k]

I want to get the stuff but i cant get them before Friday that's the only problem

 

[Ryan k]

Whoop just turned 2000 since i finished car. Checked everything an all is ok not burning oil not smoking. part from the battery wont keep its charge but i think thats fixed not, all is good. Will get some pics up after the track day.

 

[*Danny*]

good to hear ryan hope it all holds together

 

[Ryan k]

good to hear ryan hope it all holds together

I checked everything today an all looks ok so fingers crossed

 

[Chrisjk]

Some vids soon of it getting poked with a stick?

Some vids with your foot down?

 

[Ryan k]

Oh right, I need to get someone with a video camra

 

[Ryan k]

Finaly fitted a oil cooler dont know if it will make much difference on road but track i think it will. One step from being ready for track new brakes

 

[Ryan k]

Well im happy went really well round the track. other than braking a bolt that to 5 mins to fix it was fine. Only used 1 and a half tanks.

And a very hot exhaust
