if your oil pump was broken you'd have shiney in your old oil and things would go wrong pretty quick. 88 opening is fine. some like the lower temp thermostats. (76?) but in general it benefits to not open until properly warmed up, thus getting the oil up to temp as fast as possible. you can check if your water pump is working by just spinning it while the thermostat is out  I don't trust your oil temp sensor calibration, frankly. I'd pull the sensor out and test it with a known temperature like recently boiled water. Oil pump - that's what I thought. Water pump. Good idea. Will do that when I get back
I think it might be oil temp sensor as well. Just a bit odd the way it behaves. I would expect nothing or immediately going to max.
I have avoided taking it out as it is buried in a sandwich plate.
But given I had to take a while bunch of stuff off to get the thermostat out... I am a bit closer to our now. So I may well just do that...

Well, water should get warm well before oil. Are you running the stack with the gauge or plugged in the ecu? Did you move it? (Ground) if in ecu, check calibration trice.

oil temp gauge/sender is Canoeed.
Put it in a cup of water that was 64deg c by my cooking thermometer. gauge shot up to 150deg c
It's a weird way to fail though isn’t it?
The only issue is i basically have no readings of any temp now.
Oil temp seems to be Canoeed.
water temp is not working
Oil pressure at least still reads something
Do i just get it tuned on Monday blind? To be honest, I’ve had enough of it now.
I just want it to work, or be permanently broken.
Now i've got to get that Canoeing coolant reroute back on. Bastarding thing.

just use the oil pressure to understand oil temp mate. it's what I do.

you can test the sender & gauge with a multimeter....
should be a known resistance...

Go tune. As long as you dont do steady state for 20 mins at a time the cooling system should be up for it. Are you looking for huge or fun numbers?

Maybe the bloody Americans have got to it and convinced it to work in F...
would be interesting to do, but can't remember where I got it from now, and any documentation is long gone.
I want to go as high as the tuner is happy with.
In theory, I should be able to go higher than before. If not, I will be seriously unimpressed
It was 190bhp at the wheels before.

What turbo, injectors etc do you run now?
I went for "more", the gearbox turned fragile 😁 but since you are in the states you the Tailgate McNoIndicate gearbox swapkits are a bit cheaper to get.

You have correctly identified the next two weak points for more power... Almost like you've done this before? Still the td04 and yellow injectors. So expecting to have to have to change at least the injectors to get any further. But I think the tiny turbo will run out of puff soon too. Going to see what the tuner tells me... But given I can't find any decent tracks, and the roads here are absolutely Canoeing diabolical, I'm not sure it's going to see much use |

the td04 should get you to 220 at the wheels or a hint more with good breathing.
which turbo manifold are you on ? that can make a huge difference. prarrie canoety log manifolds won't give over 200hp. really top notch log manifolds can do wonders.

It's a Sturovo log manifold. It's cracked previously and been re-welded, so that may need renewing as well. Then, at that point... it might be worth a cheeky lfx conversion. |

Panic over everybody.
Got the new sender and dial sorted and the oil temp is perfectly normal.
So, a knackered oil temp sender, and a pessimistic/wild imagination has just wasted 2 days when i could have been running around in it ready for tuning.
Now it's pissing with rain.
It's still not registered, but i live on a private road (no, i'm not showing off - lots of them around here) so i am just going to run up and down that for a bit. It's never been run at load. Apart from whatever the hell happened to it when it was shipped here. I imagine it got an absolute beating.
Anyway. This panic is over. Onwards and.. upwards? who knows.
Will report back on Monday.

I made 252 whp with a begi log and a t25.
On the same begi log I'm making 334whp now (on a low reading dyno) and exploding gears.
I do run a gtx2863r and id 1050x to do that.
But you already knew that, your log should still let you do 210-220 on petrol. The injectors will limit you, but run them to 90% and raise the pressure a bit and you'll crack 220.
GLHF!

It seems to be the season for annoying random problems with cars that have not been run for a while. I'm seeing lots of reports of cars misbehaving atm. Blame Covid. Glad you got it sorted 👍 |
