Fula28 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 What's folks experience with temps at idle as have , 70'-157'164'154 from 1-4, will I get the higher ones down a bit with airscrews or float height, (experiences please) shes fooking hot at the headers just now. Only just run it up so base setting really. Mk2 blandit Turdbo. Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 A turbo will run hot low down - not enough heat to drive the turbine which is effectively a 'potato in the zorst - so it all backs up! The 70 would give me more concern - points to possible misfire or non burn? Quote Link to comment
Fula28 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 It's is a little ruff, at idle odd spit back through plenum! I tryed float heights 2mm higher up as per usual, but she wouldn't run so set them all at 13.5 mk2 carbs are shite anyhow. So maybe a little lean on no,1 cylinder ,shall tweak airscrews and see, ta for now. Quote Link to comment

Duckndive Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I know its not the same as I have draw thru. But temps on the bend of the header are 145 ish at idle after a min from dead cold engine..... I have seen 175 / 185+ after 3 or 4 mins....Heat Build up is quick when not moving And its a bit on the fat side Quote Link to comment
Fula28 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 Cheers DD, I've managed to tweek, airscrews mixture a little so have no more popping ! Rebalanced the carbs after dropping idle quite a lot temps are now in the mid 100,s but yes gets hot quick so needs a ride in airflow. so I'm much happier don't want any leaned nastyness so..So she's nearly test rideable hopefully later this week I will Dyno it With John , at Warpspeed . Let's see what happens eah. 1 Quote Link to comment
