Lol, I'll probably be back next Saturday morning. Need to see what that extra 1250Revs gives me.

Looks like Stu cracked the nut on my 6K rev limit, will have a new Igniter fitted this week at all costs

[gtech]

Yep def sounds like a dodgy ignitor there, but it did produce some nice flames oh and fumes.

Should be totally different when you can rev the nuts off it.

[Turbo_Dude]

Heh yer, u needed slow shutter speed to capture the flames They did look impressive as the rev limiter kicked though.

nice pics graeme

still not sure where to start with sorting out my engine now tho! i can see this becoming expensive.....

[gtech]

Have faith mate.....sure we can rally round and see what spares we have laying around that might help you out.

I've got a rev 3 fuel rail and all sorts of odds n ends, sent an email off to Stuart to see if he knows where there are any Rev 3 injectors going for nowt okay maybe beer tokens.

Email over your full spec again, might stick a post up on the yank boards to see if they can throw any light on it.

Anymore error codes flashed up ???? Oh if you can, scan your chart and email that over, will take a closer look, just weird that it runs nice, but somewhere you are losing a possible 70 - 80bhp.


Graeme

[splintermcinnes]

havent checked for codes since i got back.

ill send over the email soon, just trying to get the print out onto the computer and uploaded.
