    hi guys

     

    i have a corrado g60 and the engine is pretty standard i have carried out the boost return delete, changed the plugs and leads etc...

     

    i was wondering the best ways to increase power? chip and pully is looking a good option? any help would be awsome.

    cheers in advance

    just arrived home from work and as i turned off the engine the fan kicked in and was running for a while is this normal? surely it should start when the engine temp is getting high? as it does go up over 90c

    also sounded as if there was some sort of air leak noise from the engine while the fan was running. as soon as i put the ignition on it all stopped? confused me really :scratch:

     

    also....

    if the engine is started cold it idles fine untill correct temp...

     

    if i drive it for a while then stop, turn the engine off and back on it will rev up to 1100 rpm and down untill it nearly cuts out, and does this for about 10 seconds untill it find its idle spot just under 1000rpm

     

    any help would be much appreciated

     

    thanks in advance

    It is indeed dry ptfe. Not really heavy duty enough for me to be honest, you'd be pushing it beyond what it was intended to be used for. Better than nothing though.

     

    And to correct myself it's ambersil. I'll have a look in the back of my corrado next time I visit my garage. If the tins still in there it's yours.

     

    ok wicked stuff cheers for the help!

    i have checked the crank bolt and it seems fine. has anyone had timing problems as if it has jumped a tooth? it missfire's and is really hesitant. once i fitted the coolant sensor yest let the engine warming up and took it for a run it was hesitant all the way to 4000 revs then it boosted to 6000?

    hey guys.

     

    my g60 has running problems i was told yesterday to get a coolant sensor. i have fitted a new sensor but still not pulling properly.

     

    the car will rev but when coming to idle it nearly cuts out every time?

     

    it will start first time every time and rev on the spot with no hesitation. but when it is under load there is no power it wants to rev and will get to 6000 revs but its nothing like it was last week

     

    i have checked my air filter, dizzy cap, leads, spark plugs, compression test and all have come back fine there is no leaks in my pipe work for the charger and the charger seems to be fine.

     

    any help would be great

    cheers steve.

    hey, any help would be great-full.

     

    I was driving on the motorway yesterday, stopped to meet with friends, and a loud knocking noise came from the engine! I turned it off and checked the oil it was on min. I toped it up but it was still doing it. i drove to work this morning and it was knocking when i arived aprox 3miles away. i started the car this afternoon and it was fine no knocking! but when im driving, there feels as if there is no boost but it feels if it wants to boost im confused :scratch: any help would be great
