...on holiday

Well, my Scoob was picked up Tuesday and deposit has been paid for the rebuild

Speaking to Alan @ EngineTuner, it'll be the first Newage car with their 2.1 + S206 Combo!! Should take 3-4 weeks for the build then running in will take a few weeks. After that, it's back down for new injectors and a new ECU, maybe the new Solaris hopefully!!

Having spoken to Alan and Martyn by email and on the phone, they seem like really nice guys and it was a choice between them and David @ API, but API was a little more expensive for the 2.5!! I've heard nothing but good things from both companies but EngineTuner gets the vote

Can't wait now!! Will update this thread as and when I get any news

Merv

 

Been watching you on the turbo thread its going to be a machine.

 

I sure hope so Ryan

 

good lad merv its going to be a beast when its done

 

Cant wait to see this, giving me ideas for my spare CD engine??

 

Glad to hear you went for this combination, it should prove to be an outstanding engine.

It will be back soon enough, run in and then ready for action.

I don't know if I could go through the torture of running then engine in for 1k miles , I like the sound of the Solaris ECU, how will you have the different profiles set up?

I think you might be a bit of a star at the next track day.

 

Merv this will be quite something !

If you can get some white paint in the bay buddy it's the ideal time.

 

Cheers guys

Ty, it will be hell but it's 160 miles to Engine Tuner from here so thats 300 out the way Not sure what setup I'll have with the Solaris, I'll speak to JGM when he maps it!!

 

I've been thinking about this Si I'll see what I can do

 

I'll be offering pax laps I'll run out of talent before the car does Nurburgring will be calling next year too

 

I am up for a trip to the Nurbugring next year, consider me in.

Have you thought about uprating the brakes, clutch/gearbox whilst your wallet is open?

 

I know it's added expense there Merv but it's the only time your really going to be able to go for it, I think your bonnet will be up far more in the future as well so we don't want to here regrets from you

 

Awesome Merv
What sort of power do the s206 turbos make??
Like the sound of the Solaris ECU got to be either that or a Simtek really, just depends weather u need the extra function over the simtek for the extra cost.
I'd defo get the engine bay painted whilst the engine is out, coz hopefully it won't have to come back out again.

 

nice one merv "they are expecting fireworks" its gonna be a beast

 

It will all end in tears, but what a way to go, the ring awaits,

 

Going to be awesome merv

 

Sweet The Ring is awesome, you'll love it!!

Getting a clutch from Aztec Performance which will take 500 torques The gearbox is good for c600 I think!!

I'll see what I can do Si

The S206 is good for c500/500 Dean, if mine makes close to that I'll be a happy bunny Think I'm edging towards the SimTek mainly coz of the extra cost!!
indeed Red
No tears from this callsign
I certainly hope so buddy Can't wait, it's gonna be like Xmas

 

Trackday for september/october time sounds good Depends if i find another job but id be up for the Ring trip aswell

Cant wait to see the WHITE WONDER back in action

 

What's the price difference between the Solaris and Simtek ecu's?.

 

Sintek is £895+vat and about £150 for the Anti-lag and Lauch Control option and i think the Solaris is about £1500+Vat, all including fitting and mapping.

 

Sounds awsome Merv what pistons does he use

 

Here you go Glenn

and here's the Turbo thread

https://www.scoobynet.com/trader-ann...206-turbo.html

Trackday sounds good Calvin Where else is there that doesn't impose a noise limit??

The earlier we book for the Ring the better It's 4 1/2 hrs from Calais and they have 100RON fuel there The hotels are pretty reasonable too!!

 

Liking the sound of that Merv

If you fancy some running in miles happy to go for a spin and get some easy miles under your belt.
Any excuse to go for a drive

 

No worries Kev I'll take you up on that offer Hopefully the next few weeks will fly by

 

looks like mine will be taking a holiday soon, Found out on friday that one or more of the of the cylinders has balloned, so it's going to need a rebuild soon, still drives fine but smoking a little whilst on boost.

I'm not that bothered really, I got the car at a good price and once that is done hopefully the car will see me trouble free for a few years.

Atleast with mine It's already got everyting needed for big power so it's only a new bottom end needed

Can you pm me some prices you were quoted for the 2.5 merv

 

Have you carried out a leak down test on each cylinder and if so what was your percentage of air loss?. Also has your car been over fueling?, as this can be a common cause for piston ring blow by especially during the running in stage.

 

Not good news at all mate PM coming your way

 

Hi Merv any news yet on what they found/cause

 

Not yet dude, I'll PM them in a few days!! Actually, I've not stopped Different questions all the time Need to speak to Martyn about the SimTek too!!

 

HAPPY DAYS !!

About time too !!
