Forged engine lasts 3k???
- Thread starter baconfrys
- Start date
Running dastek unichip q ecu, recent new fuel pump fpr ect td04 whilst running in at 0.5 bar, forged with pec rods and wossner pistons ect injectors were only 80% duty when mapped
Sorry miss wrote, they were 80% after mapping after ran in at 1.6 bar

very poor, the chances are it was mapped incorrect,
you can run td04 0.5bar on standard ecu and standard engine and it will last a lot longer.
did you have it mapped and built at the same place, or mapped by a reputable tuner after build yourself or elsewhere?

did u get it mapped before u ran it in, am confused here.
She was mapped by a very reputable tuner who is very professional he talked me through everything as he was doing it ect engine was built by local engine builder but when I got engine back I thought there was a lot of crank pressure going into catch tank but thought it must be ok as just been re- built
Does not really matter if it was "run in"
One injector could be slightly badHow does the spark plug electrode look on cylinder 4?
And 1.6bar with a unichip is not the best idea.
Fuel used on 1.6 bar?
Plugs look perfect, what's wrong with 1.6 bar on unichip? Running 99ron
At that power levels you want a good management to hold the engine together
Can you see any detonation on nr 4 plug?
How bad is nr 4? Maybe it needs some more seating
Is the engine builder reputable? Was the rebuild done with a rebore and pistons to match?
Any idea if the piston to wall clearances were logged?
Do you mind asking who was the Tuner??? And have you got the graph?

I agree.
Also which mapper did you use as i see your a local lad?
Does the company who built the engine have previous experience in doing so?

after 3000 miles i would very much doubt it was a poor engine build.
if an engine was to fail it would do so in the first 500 miles, or at least certainly show signs of something not right.
if the compression is low in 1 cylinder this would sound more like detonation, only way to tell is to strip the engine down.
you could try shoving a bore scope down the spark plug hole to see if you can see any thing. an injector flow test would hurt also.

yeah you need to strip it down.
I agree sx_turbo, if it ran fine for 3k then its probably not an engine build fault. if it had alot of crank case pressure from the breathers (catch can), burnt oil or was tappy then it probably was the engine build. A forged engine if built properly shouldn't sound or behave any differently to a stock engine.
I recently had an engine come back to me after it had failed. I striped it down infront of the customer to find this, Which confirms it was down to mapping. It was done by a "professional" and quite big name in the tuning world and then find out the car was mapped without using det cans, and also tuned using the customers own ondash lambda sensor which he said to me was never calibrated on its inital start up.
This is one example of extremely bad mapping
3sgte forged piston by the way

I had a toy tuning bottom end I bought off someone local
It done 5500 road miles with a fanny driver I had it round knockhill and it was knocking its brains due to shit build quality !!! Within 3 laps !!!
