Yeah have to agree Rab on that tbh, i'd want answers.....

Is it a car running LEAN that causes PISTON MELT ??

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Fooking 600bhp there for sure.........

mechanic28

iTrader: (5)

just been into garage and i no longer have cable tie on my vacuum hose either

mechanic28

iTrader: (5)

yes pete it is

no no and no 416.1

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Right, so in that case WHY didn't one of the Dyno operators notice then and abort the run??

Lambchop

iTrader: (1)

No it's missing cable ties

mechanic28

iTrader: (5)

because the vacuum hoses would all still be connected when it was doing the power run,being not cable tied on,on the way home the pressure would of blown it off then causing air leak,running lean etc

DAN400

iTrader: (3)

nice spec,
there s no doubt thats a 500bhp yb there mate,
odviously there s problem when it only made 416

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

actually thats more embarrassing for you a fat cunt eating pie in a old home tuned evo beat you it gets worse for you every minute

R4N SS

iTrader: (6)

What all this about melted pistons? I've missed half the day so have no idea

Who's engine and what happened?

mechanic28

iTrader: (5)

that was also at holding 28psi so i was told by the rolling road dude,well its a little bit off 500hp at the moment lol

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Oh FFS Ran, wake up man..........

Moanstone Steve's piston melted on the way home...

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

should deffo be more at 28 psi tbh matey

mechanic28

iTrader: (5)

moonstone steve ran on way home lost all power found vacuum hose to have come off the one the rr used to get his boost reading they had not put a cable tie back on it

DAN400

iTrader: (3)

fpmsl...

mechanic28

iTrader: (5)

well more then 416 anyway lol should be over 450 at 28psi at least i would of thought,but it is 416 so that is that lol

DAN-Saff

Mines 449 at 27.5 psi I thought yours was gonna be more then it was tbh

R5FORD

iTrader: (1)

so is steve looking at claiming anything back from the RR company?

cossie4i+

iTrader: (15)

No it wasn't

It was 439.3bhp

Steve

mechanic28

iTrader: (5)

it does seem low but the rollers seem to be reading ok on other peoples cars so there is something a miss with my motor somewhere sure a few little tweeks here and there she will be up to around 500 (i hope anyway)

Rab

Damn straigt Chop, I'd be AT THEIR DOOR waving some kind of metal implement demanding some remedial action to rectify the damage that THEIR negligence caused.....

What if it's the MAP sensor sample line. Car on boost, Map sensor sees Atmo and doesn't add fuel..... Mars bar in a furnace is the phrase I seem to recall......

So that's 3!! I think a PM should be sent to EVERYONE present with advice to check the hoses in their engine bays to ensure that there are no more issues later on...

I would fucking hope so! Thats just piss poor workmanship tbh!

RS Grant

iTrader: (1)

So:

- Turn up with it all intact and running fine.
- Put it into the dyno operators hands.
- They connect the car up to relevant sensors etc.
- Complete a power run.
- Operator didn't reconnect everything properly and didn't leave the car in the same state as it turned up.
- Owner drives car home and melts a piston because of this... assuming the piston melting was definitely a result of poorly re-fittted vac pipe.

Fuck that. I'd be absolutely fucking fuming if that had happened to me?!


Cheers,
Grant

mechanic28

iTrader: (5)

i am not 100% sure if that is what happened but i think it is sure steve will be able to say more

Rab

Finally someone has realised the gravity of Steve's situation! If that happened alot NO ONE would ever use a rolling road!

cossie4i+

iTrader: (15)

That sums it up

I really feel for Steve

I do hope something is sorted out for him by PE

Steve

BRAMMER

iTrader: (23)

Seemed a quick blast on the rollers - when i had mine done it seemed to be on for a lot longer almost as if they were building the boost up - i expected yours to go for ever to get the most out of it but it's as if it were cut short

Wow as for Moony Steve that's some fuck up on all those cars - does anyone on here work for PE that can explain why they never refitted clips to the vac pipe?

Word do not express how i would feel if my new engine went pop due to that kind of workmanship

I think Steve should contact PE Tuesday and explain what has happened and honestly PE need to sort this for him as it could damage their reputation badly as that is unreal coming from a company that has been in this game for as long as can remember
