Rolling Road
Turbo Mini Forums

i found Mikeanics in Congleton, supposed to be very good, but the chap said i couldn't watch him put it on the rollers, and do it. I'm not liking this for a couple of reasons. He could say he's had it on longer and i like to see people are doing. Is this the same everywhere or is this dodge thoughts be great cheers.

i think he has to do it with the door shut because of noise complaints. i left mine with him and came back at dinner time. he charged me 140 quid i think and to be honest i were very pleased with the job.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

Ive watched mine on there a couple of times but i had to stand in the workshop and look through the door for safety reasons.

As I see it you've two options, either do sa he asks, or vote with your feet and go elsewhere.

No just wondered if it was normal and is everywhere like this? From sounds of it hes pretty good have to take a chance.

Any dos and don'ts? They run it at the highest boost it can take?

Its up to you to set a rev limit and boost level, if it goes pop on the rollers its not down to them its down to you, so be careful!

any sudjestions on psi runbning 10 at the mo could i get any more out of a fully rebuilt engine. rev limt what you mean by that tom? cheers

As in the highest you want the bloke to rev it to lol

TBH i left it all up to mike and he did a top job, imo. not sure about who set the rev limit hmmm must have been him i think but he defo set the psi.

what YOU DO need to make sure is that your car is ready for the rolling road otherwise youll have to pay/visit him at least twice.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

Rev limit depends on what has been done to the bottom end, no point revving it that hard, 6500rpm probably adequate, but final decision is up to you, I won't be held responsible if it throws a rod at that.

Boost level depends mainly on compression ratio and piston type.

1293 PISTONs OMEGA Dish size 10cc, BLOCK Bore 020 Reface 005, turbo head, not sure what the ratio is.

CRANK Grind Ni - Temper, piper cam new followers.

would i get away with 15psi?

INTERCOOLER ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Need to know compression ratio.

Intercooler rs turbo, ratio is 8.4:1

15psi will be no problem.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

or is it best to set it on 10psi and then turn it up on the boost control when you need it. Or when its been set if i try turn it up will it be over boosting then??

You need to get it set up for the maximum boost you are going to use. Then if you run lower boost at times it will overfuel slightly, but this is better than it underfuelling.

so does 15 psi sound about right for that or is that on the edge or am not getting full hit out my engine???

What is the engine spec? clutch, gear box, drop gears.

This will determine what you throw at it.
