1KZTE Tuning

[Albannach]

Which was my point when...



My phone is getting very hot now! If it had a head gasket I'd be worried! It's on charge but struggling to keep up with demand.

Aye, but we weren't talking about coal fired boilers at that point. Our discussion has evolved.

It's OK, I'm going to bed soon. But I'm nightshift weekend, if you're at a loose end.

[Albannach]

FFS! We said the same thing(ish)!

[Albannach]

Again, to appease the haters, I started out as a Push Bike mechanic, then moved on to motorcycles, then cars, then HGV/PSVs, then the industrial stuff. And my degree is in Environmental Engineering.

I know. I said White smoke could be a condensate in an under temperature engine.
You posted pretty much the same. Just after.
I said you wouldn't see it in a drivable vehicle.
I then argued with myself (I was bored) by posting a picture of a steam train. A drivable vehicle producing condensate (it was a weak joke, I know).

Anyhoo, before you toddle off to bed....

... What are your views on tuning the 1KZTE? and can I come and work with you? We'd have a riot!

[davec170]

I'd just like to point out...

Agree!..



....I like you Albannach. You speak a lot of sense.

[Albannach]

Diesel tuning on a 20 year old engine is a waste of time, and we would have a riot, but I'm not allowed to tell you exactly where I work!

[Albannach]

I'd just like to point out...

I saw that, thank you

Many, many people on here will disagree. But rest easy; you are 100% correct

[davec170]

Look, can you two not just go to F***ing bed?! I'm knackerd! If I don't get a decent charge tonight I'll be blown' oot ma arse the morn'

Fair doo's phone. Sleep tight!

[Albannach]

Ben, to summarise - Dave has a gay phone and tuning your Surf is pretty much a waste of time.

Night...

[davec170]

There you go again! I think tuning the Surf can be a good thing.




Just not the 1KZTE.

[davec170]

Bl***y hell. After all that, I think Ben's buggered off. If you're going to ask a question, you could at least stay awake long enough to hear it not answered!

I had my copy of Custom car confiscated by my technical drawing teacher, the issue with 'Roaring Rat' on the cover. 10 points if you can remember what car that was.

Hi Vince. Ive allways been into all that stuff. Roarin Rat is a 57 Chevy 210 with a big block (rat motor). Hence the name. Saw it in Custom Car a while back. It had been exported to Spain for quite a few years, and repainted red and white. It's back in this country again now and resprayed in its original colours....Do I get a bonus point for the extra info?......Cheers....Mick.

The only Rat engined car I can remember from then was RATZ, a 280ZX based Bracket Racer. But it was the mid to late 80s. I think I recognise the name, but I can't think of the car; I could Google it, but that would be cheating!

Hello Andy. A rat motor is just yank slang for a Big block Chevy, so you've prabably seen zillions.....Cheers...Mick.

[Albannach]

I know what a Rat engine is, but the only one I remember (and I remember it because I've been in it) is RATZ :-)
