    Fuel Cooler Can

(Header Wrap... ect) And i found this. http://www.importtuner.com/tech/impp_0808_cooling_mods/smax_cool_can.html Its a "cool can" that cools your fuel before the fuel rail. Supposedly it gave a B18B a 2.7rwhp...

    Overheating issue, searches suggest BHG but I'm not convinced!!!

    CRE once told me to pull the plugs. with them off, try and look top of the pistons, if they are clean, its likely its a BHG. steam can clean the carbon off the CC. and with the pistons off, it wouldnt be too bad to do a leakdown test sinse the plugs are out.

    my overheating issue

    so i found out what was wrong is that the hose from the top of the head to the heater control has a slight hole in it, so therefore it leaked on the ex manifold, causeing steam which came into my car as the heater was on, and the temp gauge is my fan clutch going bad again. i compared to to a...

    my overheating issue

    Ok, so I'm thinking it might be my heater core. My interrior fogged up last night. A hose blew on my way home, and fixed it, than it started smoking from under the engine bay again and the windows fogged. I'm thinking it was either the steam coming inside my car (windows were down) or my heater...
