Just pick up the compression tester so about to cheek it.
Maybe I will have to speak to ATS soon about a 2.3

cylinders 1,2,4 are 150 psi and 3 is 100.
Tried some oil down the spark plug hole and comp went up so pretty sure its the rings/pistons.

Just go fordgis and work on the cooling as that is were the problem is Also ask the tuner what fail safes he put into the ecu , you mustn't have any

yeah sounds like the ring lands etc. possibly over a period of time.

the ATS comment made me laugh though. why on earth people don't build engines in this country and pay inflated prices to bring one from overseas amuses me.

A couple of pics from Calder




This is what I ran on my best run(4th) and lost.

Nice pics. Damn I love that colour! What's with the bonnet though?

Cant make out the timing maps. What scale is the load axis? If im correct, assuming the timing map is matching the actual timing. Its pretty aggressive mapping.

Just saw the thread. Sorry to hear about the engine.

MR2QIK I wanted to get a carbon fiber bonnet but not sure if id like it so instead of spending 2g+ too find out I just grabed another bonnet and used a carbon fiber vynle. My plan is to get a border hood now.

LMT Not sure what you mean by "scale is the load axis" Just whats on the left side of the pic 20% 40% 80% ect
Im pretty sure the timing is correct to the engine. I got it as close as I could before I took it in but will double cheek

Starlet a bit of a sleeper eh? cool!

what does 100% load mean? and 200%? not use to reading a load scale

100% is atmospheric, 200% is 1 bar boost, from memory.

"STALET" is Renegade off this forums friend, that car has been around for many many years.
