The engine run smooth and the pistons are not "clacking" when the engine is cold. No leaks either. On Thuesday is dynotime and we will see how the things are. Yesterday my tuner caled me and when I heard it I was like. "Oh yeah baby, it is all in your face" [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Well good luck!
If it ends up as powerful as it sounds like its going to be, just be careful until you get used to driving it as the turbo is going to deliver power a lot differntly than the SC (especially on turns).
Congratulations Christian !!!
It is nice to hear that your baby lives again...
How are you going to break it in? JUst curious how some of you people seat the rings.
MY tuner says we don?t need to brake in, cause the materials today are sooo strong and even after 50000 miles the engine is not fully broke in.
I told him my doubts, cause most people swear by breaking in their engines, but he told me they never brake in new engines and they have no oil consume and run pretty well.
Well......we have to drive 100km to the dyno and we take a laptop, wide band lamda sensor and EGT gauge on board and we make the partial throttle/off boost configuration. After that we hook the car on the dyno and make some WOT runs. But most of the Haltech configuratin is made on the street, of course with O2 sensor, EGT and laptop for real time standalone tuning.
Thats awesome that your car is done! I kinda know the feeling. It IS scary tho when they tune your new engine on the dyno. Well, it was for me anyway. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Good luck
