this is the result of a faulty ecu

 

more like to much boost nice oil pump

 

it made a very big bang and locked up both front wheels it put a hole in the front and back of the engine i only had to remove 2 bolts to remove the oil pump

 

ouchy...

 

what happened? ecu failure? injecotr stop working?

 

ecu went faulty it was putting to much advance on the timing at a bar of boost

 

 

did u not HEAR the det?

 

no music to lould

 

 

sound system now sold and new engine build has started also going efi as well

 

Why do you say its the ecu's faulty?

and not a map issue, or too much boost for map?

 

I must admit i was wondering how you've pin pointed the fault so accurately

 

i sent the ecu off for testing and thats what thay come back with
car was set up by p/e
base timing was set to 10*c btdc co set to 2.5% at idle and running 1 bar of boost
was and i mean a big was running 168bhp

 

Who tested it? and how?





ps ECU failure like this is un common, infact i've never heard of one, usually down to mapping/boost or sensor/fuel pump/inj/wiring fault.

 

atp are who tested the ecu the ecu was from ebay i fitted it then got it set up when it happend i was only doing apx 60 to 70 mph on a motor way going up hill and not giving it beans the car has also had fitted new fuel pump and injectors dissy cap and rotor and a dissy
i dont know how they can tell if its faulty but they have the test equipment
also the engine had been rebuilt just before i got the car

who knows????????????????

 

could of been mapped for a low comp motor

 

it was a power/e chip (black chip )which was on the chip itself
pass on the spec

 

""car was set up by p/e
base timing was set to 10*c btdc co set to 2.5% at idle and running 1 bar of boost
was and i mean a big was running 168bhp""

then what was problem? ecu putt to much advance on timing? arent you feel that car is going different than before?

 

Who else was expecting Dragsteer to say "this is what my engine look like you think maybe this is my boost problem"

Sorry couldnt stop myself posting that
