Swino Posted October 28, 2016 Author Posted October 28, 2016 just finished and the car is alive again took fuel rails back off to find a seal had been squashed on the bottom of 1 injector and was dripping so fitted new one put it back together and fired straight idles better then before so going to leave it alone now till Wednesday when I go for my map :) thanks for all the help guys 1
savage bulldogs Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Sweet, glad it's sorted [emoji106] Best of luck with the remap Wednesday, bud [emoji6]
stuartie Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Cool good to hear you've got it sorted mate all the best on map day
Piggysniffer Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Thank the lord, are we thinking hydro locked then ? Quite unbelievably my wife's x3 BMW has done the same thing, head gasket gone and hydro locked it, came home today to find it fooked, have just chucked a 30 quid bottle of kseal ultimate in it 😳
Swino Posted October 28, 2016 Author Posted October 28, 2016 Yh thinking hydro locked hard to believe a few drops of petrol could lock up the engine but so glad it wasn't anything worse

Swino Posted October 30, 2016 Author Posted October 30, 2016 440 injectors parallel fuel lines fpr wlbro fuel pump full decat with blitz nut spec cat back front mount 3 bar map sensor 3 port electronic boost soliniod and Alcatek ecu hoping for around 300bhp anything over that is a bonus :)
johned Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 Great news all is ok but in my experience a leaking injector like what you have had on your car will hydrolock a car but alls well that ends well.
savage bulldogs Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 Forgot to mention if you've had a leaking injector possibly flooding a bore with fuel (especially to the point of hydro lock ) it might be worth checking the oil to see if it needs changing. As if the fuel has washed the oil from the bore it might have got past the rings and into the sump , so if it's due a oil change it might be worth doing it sooner rather than later [emoji6]
Swino Posted October 30, 2016 Author Posted October 30, 2016 it wasn't due an oil change but did it today Anyway was a good job as could smell fuel in the oil all fresh now even did a coolent change while I was there took it on a short drive not using boost all seems well so far :) 1

Swino Posted November 3, 2016 Author Posted November 3, 2016 Update been for my map 308.8bhp coil packs started to misfire around 4000rpm so couldn't turn it up more mapper said with newage coils it would make 320-330 no problem but happy with what I got was a good day 2
stuartie Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Cant complain about that mate thats a nice amount of power happy days
