Had some trouble recently with the car not starting, which I in turn ending up trying to replace spark plugs to try get it to start with no success.
Also changed to a slightly hotter IKH24 spark plug rather than the IKH27, to help with the recent lack of track driving.
After a few weeks of trying different things, sent the car over to Dtech Motorsport to try and diagnose the problem, they found a whole lot of melted wiring on the drivers side, so with that fixed, a bit of extra heat shielding and a couple of sensors replaced, the car started right up!
Car hadn’t been on the Dyno since November 2018, so decided to get it a quick run up to check the engine was still healthy/making power. Car only had pump gas (E10) in it so only run up on that. We have a lack of E85 in NZ from sanitiser production due to COVID. Anyway it made 4whp less than before at 0.5psi less boost, and slightly higher torque at lower rpm.
Still going strong after nearly 2yrs and 6yrs since the forged motor build! Very Baffling. 6yrs and 40k kms (25k miles) of 300-400kw power and it seems to just be getting stronger. Still would need a bigger turbo and stronger bottom end to go over 400kw.
