Chris Wilson Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Motec data log from Oulton last Saturday. Where the cursor line is you can see the throttle is at 100% but the boost takes a sudden dive. This is usually not good news at all, maybe a turbo failure. In this case it was an intercooler pipe becoming partly detached. After my heart stopping throttle lift off I tentatively glance at the instruments and risk a bit of throttle again, but seeing little boost on the gauge head back to the pits. I just love data logs now, and feel lost without a decent engine log to check after a run. You can see the Lambda go daft after the I/C pipe comes adrift, too. You can also see the engine efficiency take a dive, in fact you could pretty much diagnose this failure by e-mail.
