johno Donating Members 773 Member For: 14y 4m 10d Gender: Male Location: Mt Gambier, SA Posted 02/11/11 10:08 AM Share Posted 02/11/11 10:08 AM Thanks for that. Do you know where in Horsham he is, or a contact number? I have had the previous engine flash tuned by Heinricks in Adelaide, so I have 2 modified, and 1 stock tune in my flash.At the moment, I dont really want to add my previous "hotup" bits to this engine. Would rather add at a later date if I decide to build a good motor. Just want to get the ute back on the road ASAP.The 2nd hand engine I am looking at has all the standard bits with it(intercooler, front exhaust section.

Normally only run in 3rd or 4th and a road test even up to 3rd and 4th wouldnt be something most tuners would risk on the street.It would be fairly intense on the car and the dyno. It could be a limitation of the dyno perhaps. Maybe mick from pitlane could chime in to add more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Converted Donating Members 344 Member For: 13y 5m 14d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 05/01/13 05:51 AM Share Posted 05/01/13 05:51 AM Cheers for the reply mate, but it was sorted last year. The tune that the previous owner had was poo. I have a better understanding now of the extra load in higher gears and if you plant your foot in 6th at 100kmph, something similar will (and still does) happen. However, the amount that it used to over boost was crazy. It was even doing it in 4th when working through the gears at calder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
