Yes they can blow just with normal driving , some people notice oil consumption before it goes so check the oil more than normal and try not to give it wot before 3k and if you have low fuel Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Well like it says earlyer on you maybe lucky and never experience any problems , it may have already happened and you just don't know it , also buy an air oil separator this will help prevent detonation also get a custom map done by a specialist and don't do any mods without a map , and if your still worried get a compression / leak down test done . And speak to a few specialist like finch, roger Clarke , engine tuner or Andy forest about engine builds or what options there are for you and your budget personally I would stay away from scooby clinic but you can always give them a ring too Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Like I've already said I would only ever consider haveing that two Bob treatment if I wanted to sell it on not if I wanted to drive it anywhere . But I must be wrong . Because I'm not agreeing that it's a great idea .. It's very poor practise to say the least and I can't believe they're getting away with it and people have actually payed for it [emoji85] shocking !! Totally shocking Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

I've read it word for word , you may think you saving money now but in the long run your not scooby clinic are seeing people off . Wether there if failure or not it's still a wast of time and money in my opinion and your better off getting it done properly . And almost all stis upon inspection all have ringland failure so are clinic going to tell you this if you had your car booked in for the two Bob service , or will they just put drop ins in and not say anything ?? I think the latter also. What about the other apparent problems with head studs and bearings , oil pic up etc it's a 50k engine all these should be refreshed if you want it to last Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Well tbh if you happy spend 3 K on half a job that's entirely upto you . I've never rated clinic and personally never let the touch my car as far as I'm concerned they're just a bit two Bob and winging it, and there are many reasons why I have this opinion! but like I said if you want it done properly it's going to cost about 5k unless you get some monkey to do it. The fact they even consider using drop ins concerns me . And even if you can do all four without splitting the block I still find it very unlikely the car do it in the car also if you thinks it's exceptable to take an engine with 50k on it and just put drop ins in and not even change the belts , head studs , gaskets, bearings Water and oil pump your bonkers . Just wasting your cash tbh because 1year down the line your going to have to spend out get it done properly but the prob exactly what crappy clinic want p> Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

And I really don't know how scooby clinic think they're going to change all 4 Pistons with only taking the heads off :/ as you only have an inspetion eye on half the block the other half need the piston putting in with the rods . Maybe that's why it's was so cheep they obv only change 2 Pistons hahaha Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Like I said your looking at 5k + to get it done properly or if you don't you can get it done much Cheeper but not really because it will just fail again Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Lol just remberd I forgot to get back to you Saturday the wether was so bad didn't really fancy going out init tbh . If you could give me like a days notice for when you wana meet it would be much better for me Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Well if that was the spec I would expect it to fail again and no tuner worth talking of uses drop in Pistons haha that's the spec if you want to bodge and sell Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Tidgy is clearly a bit out of touch on this for a proper build by a specialist your looking at over 5k to get it done properly ! because you don't want drop ins your car will sound like a machine gun lol and if your doing the rest you need to do bearings other wise it will fail prematurely . Also the oil pic up and then water pump and oil pump all belts and seals Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Not really much anyone can say it's all true Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

As above but you can give it part load upto 4K help bed in the rings and stuff but not sport# even half throttle you will feel it coming in , but also its ridiculous to go from driving safely for 1000 miles then start kicking it in the head so to speak , so you want to work upto it gradually . It's these vital first couple of K that can dictate how good or reliable you engine will be . Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

You wana feel boost put it in sport # take it upto about 3k in 2nd then foot to the floor . If you don't get pinned then I would be worried lol Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Lol that's why I mode is a waste of time and never gives you more that 50% throttle I find it's actually less efficient in i mode too unless I have the cruse control on the motor way doing 60 Alan Jeffries didn't have anything good to say about it either when we spoke about it . I think the common opinion on i mode is its crap lol Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Did you have it in sport# Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

thats where my car got cocked up Surrey rolling road is fine because normally tuners just hire it out . All depends who did the work for you really . What happened ? . Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Why do you think you need another dyno run doing has it been mapped ? . . Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Run will start at prob 1700rpm on all dyno's, just never shown on the graph cos its pointless on a turbo car. That makes sense Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Your power and torque should cross at 5252 rpm and yours crosses much before that something doesn't seam right Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

What does the bp 101 at bottom of the graph relate too anyone know because I alway thought it was octain of fuel lol don't know why . Because on mine it says 98.3 and tidgys 98.4 but this one 101 quite a bit of difference :/ Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Lol they're starting the run from far too low in the rev range too never seen a scooby start that low before :/ Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Jd modified looking at the dyno Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Yes your curves just don't look right compared to mine but I have prob got a few more mods . If your up by Heathrow RCM isn't that far really Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Batteries in the fob and car battery I would change first it's getting to that time of year where batteries are starting to get a bit tired Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

If you can only get 97 that's fine but I would recommend a map for the fuel you are using, that would ensure reliability it's just I know on mine it says on the filler 98 octane only, which is great as we dont have 98 over here. Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk
