turbo-fever Posted August 17, 2016 Author Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Well seems the car didn't come back unscathed from the ring !Got a little white smoke coming from the exhaust but we couldn't get a decent reading from sniffer test, so could be head gasket but Won't know 100% till it's looked at.Whilst it's off I will be going civic rad for a second time round. The turbo, mani and downpipe sit so close to rad I think that's why it got it so hot and the fan couldn't cool it down because the heat coming from turbo etc Should be getting whole new downpipe made complete 2.5 all the way, triple core civic rad and should have a dyno figure to see what she is actually running.

richardc9052 Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Not too bad, could have been worse. Especially seeing as that was basically the cars first proper test since you sorted all the other bits. You will get there in the end Quote
turbo-fever Posted August 17, 2016 Author Posted August 17, 2016 Pretty much it's been driven hard on the road but the ring is the ultimate test. Found the weak point so can now work on it.https://youtu.be/h2Ri3OsR8scAlso found this doesn't actually look that impressive but I topped out and had to let my mate passed to carry on ! Quote
richardc9052 Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Im guessing you topped at about 150?? Quote
richardc9052 Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Nice. What rpm is it mapped to limit?? Quote
turbo-fever Posted August 17, 2016 Author Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Standard limit which is like 7200 or 7500, looking into some race tech valvesprings so maybe could go to 8 give me more powerbandDon't normally go to the limit Edited August 17, 2016 by turbo-fever Quote
turbo-fever Posted August 17, 2016 Author Posted August 17, 2016 It was evens all the way to my limit lol I was loaded with tools and luggage and another person without all that I would off had the edge Quote
Pikey009 Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 It looked like he got a slight jump on you too Quote
turbo-fever Posted August 18, 2016 Author Posted August 18, 2016 Yes you have to be on point with a laggy td05 lol still was quite impressed considering the difference in price of both cars Quote

richardc9052 Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 content not found. Have you made it public or is it friends only? Quote
turbo-fever Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Well cars come back seems like the problem was the whole combination of turbo mani and downpipe all being so close to the rad and the turbo being water cooled. It was just superheating everything and it couldn't cool it down ! Had a new downpipe made and just waiting to get new rad setup in (triple core half rad ) and removed water lines to turbo, then going to have it mapped again as pretty sure the old downpipe was leaking like a siv !

crashbandicoot Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 Love this GT hope you solve the issue with the overheating. Would love a white ep82 Quote
