I use penrite 10 tenths 15-50 and using all std parts except the oil cooler thermostat, it has a kiggly and no oil squirters

Cold start oil pressure is going to be high depending on the oil Baz - you know that! lol.

I was looking more at the AFR's at idle between 11-12 being rich.

But again, a better indication would be to see what oil pressure and AFR's show at normal operating temps.

 

for a cold start looks ok on both counts

mishimoto rad fitted

 

 

 

 

temps are now much more stable at 79-80 driving on the street, system also maintains constant pressure as opposed to previously remaining at 0 psi for much of the time

 

some C70 Z221 shoudl smash the lap times

 

 

noticed oil pressure had dropped a lot so I drained the oil to find a bunch of needle rollers on the magnet, took rocker cover off and found the culprit

 

 

had some E8 spare so they have been chucked in

Awesome build. Looks great.

[evo-gsr]

Why did the needle rollers flog out?

[EVILLUSION]

NFI bro, looks to have smashed the roller in half, how I am not sure

[evo-gsr]

Not good.

[DOUGMO]

old and abused

[EVILLUSION]

hey only driven on wekends

[EVILLUSION]

long time no post, been busy since last time

best lap with the hankooks

56.3 on the sprint

sprints 4 7 15 - YouTube

anyway very next lap #4 injector failed

resulting in:



so yet another rebuild, it is essentially the same but I put in L19 1/2 inch studs and a modified OEM 9 gasket on a O-ringed block and fitted a FLUIDMPR








running BLACK OPS DELPHI 1400cc now




running a MOROSO accumulator as I was having a bit of surge





idle is much more pronounced this time round

in shed - YouTube

next outing is late Nov for last one this year hoping to dip into the 55s

[jack be nimble]

Nice and quiet. The pumps make more noise than the motor

[EVILLUSION]

yeah it is pretty good actually considering, I have been dialling in the injectors and have it pretty sweet now, very happy with how it drives

[86psi]

How many engines is that now. Got to give it to you many would've given up by now you sir are addicted lol

[EVILLUSION]

yeah been a few, but that's racing I guess, hopefully this one will last me a while touch wood, at least I know the causes of the last ones and do what I can to rectify it, last one I should have swapped those injectors out ages ago as I had been having too many issues with them but didn't and paid the price

[evo-gsr]

Seems like you've been cursed with this car. So many dramas!

[EVILLUSION]

yeah it's been a rough road but hopefully I am on top of it now

[BYBY5L]

The black ops are suppose to be quite good according to my mate, look good in a hks rail too,
tyres look the biz too,
Been a good thread to follow man!

[evopwr]

Awesome build man! I wouldn't say you've been unlucky or anything of that sort at all. It's all a learning curve especially when you're trying to do it all yourself!

Great job, keep us updated with progress!

[EVILLUSION]

cheers guys yeah has been a steep learning curve with the 2.4 but touch wood it will be on the money this time, early days yet but certainly is promising so far

[EVILLUSION]

rolling run 1-3
