On 24th Aug, 2012 Jimster said: You are right, no compression. I wonder if snapping the throttle shut after such a long run at high RPM at that speed with a prolonged overun period, exposed the hot parts of the chambers suddenly to a deep vacuum, no cool inlet charge and no fuel to cool the chamber, after all, everything sounded fine right up to when it stalled.
did it die on the last run? sounded like there was no compression when he tried to re start it I'll bet they wouldn't have tuned the overun area of the map propperly, and I would be surprised if they used fuel cut on such a vehicle. There are engine dynos that can create these overun conditions, basically the brake is an electric motor that can not only impose a breaking load, but also maintain the engine rpm on a closed throttle Edited by Sprocket on 24th Aug, 2012.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |

That is probably why they were searching for a new block and used the "Open 24hr" machine shop to prep a new block... They must have done some major damage. On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

Maybe it contributed to the "moment" the driver experienced on the slow down.
Edited by gr4h4m on 24th Aug, 2012. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
