Dyno printout?

Did any of the parts replaced indicate if they were causing your noise.
No one will know what caused it, as a few parts replaced at once..lol

X 2 on the print out

Its taking its time cos they dont work like the older systems like I have told you. If everything is full then just drive it. Recheck the level tomorrow morning. I doubt you have to top up much if any. Once the radiator is full you should only have check it at the header tank.

Hey Mat.
I think the issue may have been from the initial fill... I'm not sure. All I know is air was trapped somewhere .
So at the workshop yesterday we filled everything up, the radiator and the header to the top and engine ran up to operating temps. Kept topping up as it went a long and air came out and then everything settled. Header tank full. And yeah the bloke said just drive it and recheck as these are self burping. Exactly how you explained it to me Mat.
I then drove the car home, which is less than 3km's. Got home popped the hood, header tank just about empty... Shock 'n horror lol.
So I let the car cool down. Topped up the header tank to max. Closed it and went for another drive. Came home all good.
I then checked this morning, stone cold car, header tank again about 1/4 full... So then I decided to have a crack at the radiator. Filled all up, stuck the funnel into the radiator and slowly ran it up to temp. Once thermostat opened bubbles began coming out and eventually stopped... Header tank and radiator completely full. Closed up, went for a spin.
And throughout the day I think it has now settled... Header is 90% full. Might need another tiny bit added. Fingers crossed.
My first time touching the cooling system on my own so I was just winging it lol.

Question. When system is fully warm and pressurised, obviously don't open anything... But when is a safe tell-tale sign, that I can pop the system open to top up the header tank for example ?? Like squeezing a hose or a certain temp ? Waiting for the car to fully cool down is demoralising lol.

Dyno printout?

6-7kW~ than last time.

Strange I have never had to top up that much after doing a flush and coolant change but anyway its all good.

As for checking you can see into the header tank. So if its a little low when warm and the expansion tank isnt full then just top the expansion tank up. Dont fill it but juat roughly put it what you think needs to be drawn back in as it cools.

Was that dyno done in 4th?

Yeah I'm absolute amateur at it, I only know from how you explained it to me and Mudski gave me heaps of advice but even then I found it odd that it kept swallowing coolant after 3 top ups.
But it's settled now will recheck tomorrow.

Dyno was in 4th . I was there for most of it ... I'm still regaining my hearing slowly and hearing ringing noises etc
Bloody straight through exhaust in a dyno room is dangerous.

Interesting. They must stop it shortly after the power starts to dive. Did you get a torque readout at all?

[jff45]

What other mods apart from the CC IC? That looks like an above average result for a stock TD42Ti, especially with stock airbox.

I'll have to ask for torque numbers. I need to go back anyway as this tune is pretty shit. It may have gained high end numbers but it lost that punchy " pull" it had previously . It's not right.

Cross country cooler and 3 inch exhaust are all the performance orientated mods.
You think she's being pushed too hard ?

I know he did say turbo is or nearly is out of its depth running at 17 max.
Pump and especially the air intake are the bottle neck from now.

As my above comment I don't like this tune it'll be going back .

Or my try different tuner .

You should be able to get more out of that pump, and the air intake will handle more too but you will see a big gain by changing it.
Your turbo should be the limiting factor at the moment.
