From the sound of it your heat issues have been an issue for a while, can u confirm this, also has it been like that since you have had the car / fitted the gauge?
What is the temp anyway?
Stage 2 does make gear changes between 1st and 2nd quicker and stops flares etc so not a waste of money, definitely something wrong there mate, esp as the tc is not locking up anymore

Thanks mate - been getting bloody hot since the turbo went in - even wrapped the oil lines in heat shielding where they go past the dump pipe. The only change that occurred at the same time was the new coil an module on the dizzy?? Can't see how this would have anything to do with it ALTHOUGH the tacho is now all over the shop - thought the tacho runs straight from the box, so unless it sends some sort of signal to the TCU and because it's thinking it's over revving its not locking up the converter then I'm stumped ...Quote:

I thought tachometer rpm's came from the coil or number 1 lead?? I have been known to e wrong on the rare occasion :-)
Tell me more, tell me more!!!Quote:

Hmmmmm........ Im not so sure the auto's the problem.Quote:

So my choice is leave it till I get back (doesn't see that not having the TC will cause any issue other than fuel consumption), or get a coil from an EB/ED V8 falcon (same plug as the Crane Cam coil I have) and try it.
And here I was thinking I'd have a very merry Xmas not having to work on Tank!!!! lmao - that's 2 years in a row if you all cast your minds back!! Thermostat sensor last year, this problem this year!!! How's my luck??!! lol
A EB/ED V8?? Off to smithfield you go
Forget your problems Scotty....................my place..........it's now bourbon o'clock and will be untill the 9th of Jan, Merry Jolly Drunkin Christmas :):):)
I will drop into that other other thread of yours, haven't been there in a while
Auto probs...... I can direct you 2 a thread I know of on this forum *L*
I would be sourcing the EB/ED V8 falcon coil while in Sydney and seeing how that goes, stuff driving all the way back up without the TC locking up.
Your heat issues and flaring could be numerous things..........Will talk 2 you about it when you remember 2 ring me 2day!
Gotta go, glass is half full and needs a fill up :):):)
Hey mate, hows TANK going, still locking up ok?
Nah mate - made it to Melbourne though!! TPS is dead as a door nail ... tested that this arvo ... could be 90% of the problem ... maybe!!! lmaoQuote:

Wow I'm too pi55ed to comprehend that?!?! Hahahahahahah.........so Scotty is your trans fu45ed?
Probable not, but might be by the time he get back home, I've seen how he drives *L*Quote:

Do you reckon we could fit this 383 Chev motor into Tank
Attachment 11434
Thought the cover suited TANK
Only going for 10g on fleabay
Ummmm .... maybe??? lmaoQuote:

Sooooo ... as of Wednesday he's in for some serious love and attention - LPG coming out, 148 litre long range petrol tank going in, high flow injectors, new fuel pump and sender, the original throttle body, TPS and distributor, along with a new Wolf ECU to control everything. New cylinder heads going in also to decompress the engine a little for petrol, and a full touch up whilst the engine is open ...
Auto box coming out for an overhaul, including possible new torque converter if needed, band adjusting etc etc. Getting new flexi oil lines put in from the tranny oil cooler to get them away from the turbo and dump pipe, as well as new power steering lines and cooler.
Annnnnd (but wait, there's more!!! lol) - Rodney is going to give it a going over to test all the electrics and get those bugs sorted also - this is going to include ripping out ALL old and unnecessary wiring and cleaning things up in general ...
Hopefully things will be back to fairly standard (ignition etc at least) and then to throw it on the dyno for a final tweak and tune ...
It's the least I can do - yep, it's more money, but I love this truck and quite frankly, through a myriad of issues (which the Vic boys saw first hand) it never let me down in times of most need ... no more band aid fixes and touch ups to keep things moving - time to sort it once and for all.
Fingers firmly crossed!!!!
is the auto up for the job??? or world money be better spent on a turbo 400 or something????????Quote:

thats a big operation tank my god boy i hope you pull through all of this
with flying colours and do scotty proud
good luck mate
Bloody hell that's a list. At least with a big fuel tank you'll get to the closest servo hahahahahahahahaha
Yep - it does look a big list, but truth be told, the engine decompression will be the longest bit - the rest should only take 2-3 days (but I'll be helping, so more like 4-5 days!!! LMAO!!!).Quote:
