    Hawkeye version 6

    Hi. As some of you may know, there's an unofficial Google Groups support page for the Hawkeye diagnostics tool, created by a LZ user (sorry, forgot your name :) ). A little while ago it was announced over there that there was a new update coming out: version 6. I emailed Bearmach and they...

    Max boost pressure

    Pump is on the todo list, head is new, compression has been checked and injectores were refurbed a little while ago. Still, you forgot to add "check turbo pressure" to that list :) I don't want to go fast in the P38. If I did, I wouldn't have chosen the oil burner version. Actually, driving a...

    Max boost pressure

    I was expecting to see something around 1.1 bar. I've seen the results of piston meltdown from a M51 engine where the boost pressure was too high and they weren't nice at all.. I know the P38 is a big beast (and I love it) but it struggles to get into it's top speed (when tested in a private...

    Max boost pressure

    I checked the pressure just as you described, full throttle in 2nd, going up a big hill. In the past I had installed a pressure gauge, in the cabin, connected to a T piece that intersected the pipe that goes to the MAP. In both cases the pressure was at 1.0 bar.

    Max boost pressure

    Not doubting your immense knowledge on this, but where does this information come from ? I remember reading that the boost normal pressure is 1.1 bar and it peaks at 1.25 bar. I've also read there's a fail safe in the ECU that will send the engine into limp mode if the boost goes over 1.3 bar...

    Max boost pressure

    Hi. Can someone provide me with quotable information about the maximum boost pressure (normal and peak) for the 2.5 DSE ? I've been reading lots of threads, here and in other forums, but everything I've read so far is hearsay. RAVE has nothing on the subject (searched for every possibly...

    Leaking rear airbag - reseat maybe ?

    Hmm.. that's why I linked to the video, tried embedding it but it won't work here in LZ. Well, the leak is small and at the bottom of the bag, where the rubber meets the plastic of the bottom part. And my question is how is this connected ? Are they glued or are they just pressed together ? Can...

    Rear radius arm

    So, just after I noticed that my rear right airbag is leaking, I noticed this in my rear left radius arm. The picture is not great, as it was taken at night with the flash on, but I think it's visible that the rubber that envelopes the arm (near the rear of the RR) is broken. I know that...

    Leaking rear airbag - reseat maybe ?

    About 2 and a half years ago I replaced all the airbags in my P38. Some were leaking, some not but they were all original (13 years old at the time) so I just replaced them, for the sake of a clear conscience. Today, after trying to find out why the RR was starting to lower after 3 or 4 days, I...

    Did you need spigot rings to fit those rims?

    looking for new cooling hoses and google sending me round the bend!

    No need to understand Russian. After pressing the spare parts button everything's in the Queen's language.

    Speed

    Funnily enough , just the other day I was trying to explain a mate of mine why I don't like to drive past 90mph on the P38. Looks like I'm not alone :)
