funny onion Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 1 bar on td04 and made 228.7bhp. Ill look into getting the map off the ecu but right now it's getting a running engine back in it that's the main thing :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Sorry to see this Charl, just when it was looking it's best too. Best of luck with getting it all sorted, give me a shout if I can help with anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletburkie Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 luck of the draw imo I went true 5 engines with 3 different mappers, 2 of which the best in Ireland as said by many Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Ha ha thanks for the comments, although what is the issue with running standard fuel lines, they are metal pipes the same as the ep82 and there were clean as a whistle, as for the hitting the rev limiter while i was running it in, I had already done over 1000 miles on the engine so it was well run in already!! So would appreciate you not talking utter shite, pistons dont melt because you built a bad engine. Its down to timing/fueling or the map! Reading this i am livid though with funny onions car, the piston damage is EXACTLY the same as mine WTF!!! All 4 of mine had gone too while driving at 100mph+ how can you compare this too taggys ? taggy was runnin standard fuel lines for an ep70 and sat at jae bouncing of the limiter whilst running it in, down too a poorly built car imo.I had my standard engine mqpped by td on td04 and that lasted 8 odd months off hard abuse till it died when i cooked it beingva doomroid,what spec is the car charlotte ?

Chris_14a Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I think before this goes any further that if there are issues they need to be taken up with the lads at Td as it is between them and the owners of the cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taggy Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I am going back to TD next Thursday, so i will get them to double check everything, particularly timing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 As said above as soon as I get home ill be in contact with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 feel really bad for you, sorry i knew you were a girl i put him by accident ha ha!!! you read it before i could edit it lol. Is strange though, in 4 years of starlet ownership i have seen maybe 2-3 posts on melted pistons and those were usually due to injector failure etc, now i have seen two posts in the same month!! I was convinced timing was the problem, now with you as well I am certain with it, either that or we have just be REALLY unlucky lol!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Got.boost Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I had mine mapped by td and its fine Im running a unforged engine with a ct9 at just over a bar and its never missed a beat and it does take some abuse but all ways do a oil and fillter change every 2/3k miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayc-glanza17 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 what ecu was used??their needs to be a through investigation into this failure..will help yourself in future and others to spot any problems.. good luck with getting the gt back on road.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Its just one of those things i guess, could just be a complete coincidence, best speak to TD first, see if they can sort it out, i hope they can for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Just out of interest how long/many miles after the map did this happen? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A L 3 X Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I had mine done very soon after you Charlotte, hope its not something they've missed across the board :/ I've kept my wide band in since and if anything my afrs have been on the rich side. Maybe a silly question, did you mount the EMB where you can see the lights? I have been told about EMBs losing the map before and therefore mounted mine so I can see the lights from it? Probably a stupid thought but you never know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 if there was such a problem with the fueling/ignition itd have shown up on the dyno.what were you running before the e manage ?i was running stock ecu, Fcd and rrfpr, so would have been rich as hell then put onto emanage blue Think i am defo putting a wideband on 2nd time around Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GAZ@A&G_TUNING Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 "Now me and the mad scientist gotta rip apart the block and replace the piston rings your fried"Slightly ironic And not the first-second or third time seen this!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
