Turkey91 Member 57 Member For: 12y 6m 18d Posted 23/09/12 03:21 AM Share Posted 23/09/12 03:21 AM Hey I've got a bf2 turbo 60 pound injectors No catAnd a monza cooler Running at 12psiI live in Darwin so a "cool" night is 24-29 degrees. I go cruising in the car with a group of people most weekends at night. So the usual countless full boost pulls. And roll ons etc. The car runs fine at the start. It's usual characteristics have no traction in first and sometimes is a bit loose through 2nd. That's the start of the night. The monza cooler gets hectic heat soak and after about 4 times hitting full boost I'd be only barely have traction issues. This isn't the issue though. Cos I expect heat soak on the cheap cooler. What happens after awhile of thrashing around the car will miss or hesitate when in boost, back firing and sometimes spitting flame. At this point there is a lot of heat in the engine bay. The cooler is just pushing hot air. And the cold side piping is like a frying pan. My oil temp is usually sitting between 175-190 Fahrenheit. Which isn't a drama I don't think. And water temp never goes above half. Usually sits at a quarter and a bit. If I go for a highway drive and stay off boost. After 15 mins the car will be fine again for a bit. I am guessing its my high intake temps causing the issue. I have a process west stage 2 kit on the way and a retune. I've changed plugs and coils just for the hell of it also. What else could be causing the problem or am I on the right track? When the car starts to show signs of the issue I don't push it until I either have it off for a while or drive normally for a period of time. Any help or advice would be great.

Only if you we're standing behind it at idle. You'd notice an extra brup in the pattern every minute or so. I never thought much of it. Is it related?

Turkey91 Member 57 Member For: 12y 6m 18d Posted 23/09/12 04:57 AM Author Share Posted 23/09/12 04:57 AM T Rav I've already ordered a process west intercooler. So I'll have to see how that goes. And yeah the valve springs are standard. I didn't think of that being a bf series 2 but the car has 100k km on it so they could be tired. Is there a way to see if they are tired without physically inspecting them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's detonation I guess the new cooler will tell u. Edited 23/09/12 07:59 AM by davidald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
