Puffwagon's Territory Adventures

[Puffwagon]

She's experienced it of her own volition but reluctantly and she is not a fan at all. While it does have a lot of power, you can't really use it often and certainly not with other people in the car that don't like it.

Hahaha so highly practical family wagon.

[Puffwagon]

I mean it still does everything a stock one does, it's just a bit louder. I need a better trans cooler so I can tow the caravan, but that's about it for practicality.

He's dead Jim. Low comp in cyl 6, reckon I nicked a valve based on stuff and things. Perhaps running 45+psi on the setup wasn't the best idea but it went pretty hard lol. The pull that it made a noise was pretty hectic, the iats went from 30c up to 91c so that wouldn't have helped the cause. Anyway there's that, you get the good and the bad when you're testing things for yourself and I'm here to share it with you bunch of ohmos

 

She'll be right, I'll pull it down when I get excited about it again, got other sh*t to do for now but it will be back

 ... not ideal... bigger and better and all that  

[Puffwagon]

Eh, it happens, there's a couple of things to upgrade so I'll wait until then before I take it apart. Fuel pump and 320lb injectors are next on the list, then an intercooler upgrade.

Sorry to hear. So much work has gone into your build, but it's great you're sharing your experience, both good and bad.

 

I'm amazed the driveline seems to take all the punishment

[Puffwagon]

I think the driveline is ok because the power comes in late and it spins tyres on the shift rather than dead hooking. I could fix it as is but I would rather wait cos 1, I cbf working on it right now and 2, I wanna do upgrades at the same time so may as well do it all at once.

[Puffwagon]

I bought a new scan tool and with it came an endoscope. I had a look inside the bore of the hurt cylinder and to me it looks like I split the bore. I'll post a couple of pics and you all can tell me what you think.

sh*t is that 2 vertical cracks with rusyy coolant coming thru? Rather terminal. May want to run less boost I reckon, be content with 600ish kws. But then we wont get many bad storys from terrotorys adventures. Will that need a new block or can the cracks be repaired and put in a sleeve?
