  • @tuloko16
    @tuloko16 Před rokem +253

    Rob, for what i have experienced, the housings warping like that acually have been because of running too rich and or too little timing. What happens is, the fuel/air mixture seem to have a little extra time to separate. By having uneven areas in the rotor containing liquid fuel you have areas with a stronger seal then other, instead of it been evenly distributed. Think of it like areas of the chamber “hydrolocking”.
    Usually this is not an issue with pump gas, but with e85 and methanol, it can become an issue due to the extra volume of fuel required.
    If it was detonation, 9 times out of 10 it shows at the apex seal, either pinching it at the groove, warping them or deleting them. I would trow collapsed rotor faces on there too, but that’s more of a nitrous issue.

    • @clintonlangerak7972
      @clintonlangerak7972 Před rokem

      +1 too little timing. I wouldn't have thought at such low loads the manifold would glow so red. Also in a previous video there is a shot of revving the engine under no load and the manifold is bright red. Boost leaks were before the throttle body, so shouldn't cause wild variations in MAP or AFR. Event at WOT the MAP sensor would compensate for any leaks and move to a different cell in the fuel and timing tables. Rob mentions 0-13 degrees in the video, seems way too retarded.

      @tstarkz123 Před rokem +5

      I have to agree here. Not a boost leak issue, although that was great to resolve. The housings warped because of compression “pressure” due to the liquid volume on E85 and not enough timing to coalesce.

    • @anderssteen3216
      @anderssteen3216 Před rokem +3

      @@tstarkz123 Well it actually is a boost leak issue. If you take away the air needed (boost leak) you get a very rich mixture. Liquids don't compress and something else needs to give, i.e the housings warping. Timing would'nt help here if you already have to much liquid (E85/gas), as in a very rich mixture. Ignition timing only determines when in the combustion cycle the mixture is ignited. 🙂

      @clintonlangerak7972 Před rokem +2

      @@anderssteen3216 A boost leak only changes manifold pressure, if that causes a rich mixture then it's a tuning issue. A vacuum leak to the fuel pressure reg would do it when the engine is in vacuum and make it lean in boost, but I don't believe that was the case here.

    When you’re tuning using manifold pressure x rpm a boost leak will not affect fuel mixture. Fixing boost leaks will not affect your ve map. However, if you’re tuning using tps rather than manifold pressure it is plausible that boost leaks may have an impact on afr. I don’t watch all the vids so idk what you have done this far but boost leaks don’t have much affect if any on a true ve speed density style table.

    Man, sucks that the engine got screwed up. On the bright side, more video content! 🙂

    I am subscribed and have been for a long time but your videos haven’t been coming up in my recommended for at least 6 months. Love the content mate. You should get in touch with Adam LZ and take a few cars to the compound

    There's only one thing that always gets me with Rob's videos. The fkn ending. 🥲

    Rob, big thing I see is that you are using T2 housings. FD housings have areas around the leading plug hole that have been machined to reduce the thermal stress in that area. Some of the through hole bosses have thinner webbing as well. If you have some FD housings you'll be able to see the differences between them. Thermal stress was a big issues on older motors trying to make more power.
