CCCC miso xr6 Donating Members 317 Member For: 16y 17d Posted 21/12/10 12:19 PM Share Posted 21/12/10 12:19 PM (edited) Hi guys,I went today to get my car tuned,my car has a built btr 4 speed with a 3200 stallie ,big intercooler,valve springs,surgetank an 044 pump,4 inch dump pipe in to a 3 an a half inch exhaust all the way back, it got 306 kw at the wheels on 17 psi, I think the stallie drained some power, but im fine with that, I took the car for a drive an gave it hell, it span the wheels 1st gear an 2 gear,once it shifted to 3 gear it pinged of its head but no wheel spin,I stoped giving gas once it did ping,so I rang the tuner back up an told him,I then took the car back to the tuner,he took my xcal 2 flash box an just installed something to it,I then took off,tested the car,an then again it pinged in 3rd gear,the weather was cooler at the time as well,now an other strange thing happened,at night it cooled down heaps, I thought mabey try now an give it a run while the weather is cooler, see if it pings,but this time it didnt move at all,no wheel spin in 1st or second,funny thing is it went way harder in hotter weather, which is wierd to me,anyways I stopped driving the car,didnt want to do any damage since its a ba block, so what I want to know has any one had a similar problem, if so how did you get it fixed, did the car get back on the dyno? could this b a timing issue, or some temp senser problem? or is it tune related?thanks mic Edited 21/12/10 12:21 PM by CCCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could be doing the dodge knowing that people won't step on anyones toes. IMO if you name them then it's more incentive for them to step up and get some decent figures.
