fake ben taylor Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 45-50k on a boosted forged engine, Im not surprised its gone tbh thats a good innings. Triple plate clutch will have been putting more strain on the thrust bearing for starters, and only running a unichip piggybavk on a build like that? In my opinion Id have the block ripped apart and get new bearings, and any necessary machine work, bores rehoned and a new set of rings whilst youre in there. Then get new management asap, link plug and play ecu is only £1100 now..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A9H-RX Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 You must of spoken to Scott @Abbey. High oil temps is normally a sign of bearings failing as the extra friction causes the oil to work harder so causing higher oil temps. We haven't seen any oil pump's fail on the VQ like the RB or WRX pumps fail. Yeah it was Scott I spoke to. Suppose that makes sense. I'm hoping the pump is alright because it'll save me a few £££ on top of what has failed. Not getting much confidence with an RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark@Abbey m/s Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I would be fitting a new pump on a build anyway not worth taking any risks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion Id have the block ripped apart and get new bearings, and any necessary machine work, bores rehoned and a new set of rings whilst youre in there. Then get new management asap, link plug and play ecu is only £1100 now..... I think at the time when these APS TT kits were available, uni-chip was good value ecu at the time that worked well. Times have obviously moved on a lot since then as it's very dated now. Once I find out what's survived and what hasn't, I'll see about which route to take. Want to try avoid splashing out against the odds if possible, as it will just delay the build longer saving for the parts. I'll be happy to go up rev temporally until I can get some money aside for syvecs Edited February 17, 2016 by A9H-RX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have been looking at uprated high pressure ones. Cosworth do one for £400ish, so may just go that route seeming as I'm in there anyway. Timing chain and tensioners will also be done as well. Also turbo actuators are long gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy james Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 So sorry to see this mate. We all run the the risk of a blow up pushing big numbers with F I but with a built engine it's not expected. Hope you get things sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OllyB Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Sorry to hear this, feel your pain. Never good to hear about a big build going pop... Although at 50k it's done well, hopefully on tear down there isn't too much damage and the crank can be saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
