Glanza_Ragger Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 FridayFinish putting engine back together CHECKFinish wiring pfc fcon in CHECKFill with oil and fire up CHECKSaturdaySet air/fuel ratio up CHECKSet boost controller up CHECKSet ECU setting CHECKTest drive... CHECKSunday Go out for a random drive CHECKSmash 2 holes in either side of the block CHECKGet poorly V recovered CHECKPick up the remains of my conrod and pistons CHECKResort to public transport AGAIN CHECKTwas not a good weekend for the 4efte... May it rest in piece..For the time that it was driving, i was keeping up easily with a 450hp evo6..Now i know the ecu was set right, and i know everything such as oil pressure was just dandy... So it leads me to the conclusion that the turbo dynamics hybrid ct9 running at 1.1 bar along with all of my other fuelling and ignition mods couldnt help the internals..Im now on the scavenge for cash... Im going the forged route.. Saving the cash up and getting it trailored to ses services.. to have a full rebuild in a few months..Pictures and a nice video to follow shortly of what you DONT want your engine looking/sounding like !

Jozinobi Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Just talking on msn about it.Good luck with the rebuild Craig.Everything was going well besides the internals, you were prepared in everything else tho.Can't wait to see the starbo back even better mate, when that will be, we will be waiting Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nick_p Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Shit dude sorry to hear the bad news. Hope you get some cash together soon to get her rebuilt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 haha thanks lads.As i was just telling joz over on msn, everything was set up fine.I just didnt have a clue what kind of power id be looking at with this pfc fcon. Ive never seen an e3112 chipped one made for hybrids/larger than ct9 turbos..So it was all guess work..Obviously i needed to do the extra work on the internals.. thats what happens though i suppose when you experiment.. I was going to go forged any way sooner or later.. but tbh, not this soon Im just going to save the cash up and give it to the capable hands of rob and dave, im sure you all know there experiance with the starlet.And at least now, i can make a nice shiny ornament out of the parts that got spat out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 As soon as i drove it, the power curve was insane..So aggressive when it was on boost, ive been in starbos with power fc's and emanages on hybrid ct9s and i cant say ive felt one that pulled that hard ever.Im considering going for a larger turbo though.. Sooo if i do, there will be a practically new turbo dynamics built hybrid ct9 for grabs.. Ill keep you all posted though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick_p Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 sounded like fun untill it went bang, what kind of power did it have?How much do you reckon it will cost to get rebuilt? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 for all the work and parts im going to have done, im looking around the 2k mark... rough estimate..while its stripped, i may as well get it prepared for if and when i decide to move on from a ct9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 bodged home tuning + monstrous air flowing turbo = lots of lovely holes in block.gg boost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 its allright saying that ecks, but the exhaust gas temp was 850 degrees, which is spot on isnt it?!afratio was spot on too... i lowered the pfc to 1 setting lower than it was previously set on, on the previous v it was fitted too..

Stevie B Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 all sounded well till you mentioned the "Smash 2 holes in either side of the block CHECK"unlucky dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WallaceGlanza Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Ouch sounds sore! Whats the spec of the hybrid to do that damage?How much would you be wanting for the turbo and did you get it direct from turbo dynamics, or does dave sell them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
