I was waiting to get banned just for using the ***** . Breathing a little easier now.

OH, I put oakwood leather care hydrating cream on my seats today. Not sure if it did anything but did make the leather more glossy. Does anybody else find ford leather to be on the hard side. It seems very durable, but it is a very stiff hard leather. Car is BF GT.

I pulled the bf block down as I was going to use the turbo pistons to rebuild with.

I know my turbo pistons have seen a lot more abuse and are still serviceable.

Apparently they aren't after all. This was the last one that I pulled out...

Nah no marks from the quick look I had today.

 

It only ran for about one minute after it broke and that was just limping it home. I also got off it in a split second when I heard it go. 

 

I'll have a real good look tomorrow when it's light and I'll post a pic of the bores.

Picks of the bore with the broken ringlands?

 

Only the mark on the left picks up on the fingernail. There are a couple of very similar marks (as the left one) in a couple of other bores so I wonder if the rings were having a hard time.

Both blocks will at least need to be honed before I put anything back into them. I haven't measured the bores yet and I'll do that when I decide how I'm going to proceed.

A deviation from the current discussion, but today (in the spirit of this thread!) my fg mk2 Ute went in for a tune :

 

spun up 223kw ate as a baseline, first retune 252rwkw and 711nM, however tuna mentioned when he looked at the data the factory injectors were at 99.2%, which he felt to be pushing them way too far, so final result pulling it back a bit was 241kw and 648nM,

 

From what I understand the factory fuel system can often get to around 275 reliably, but I suppose there is always going to be variation!  

 

I think at this stage I’ll sit on it for a while, and when it starts to feel slow again, take another (considerably more expensive) leap!

Hey mate that’s actually bang on what I get when I tune a bone stock FG turbo (220ish-250ish) and yes the injectors do peg at 95-98% but only during peak torque and actually pull back to around 90% into redline but for a stock injector and low power it’s ( I’ll say this loosely ) acceptable to see the high percentages but your tuner did do the right thing all said and done ;)
