Sounds like you might've destroyed your clutch, or something in that area My advice to you would be do NOT drive the car, put it up on jack stands, open up the inspection covers on the transmission, and take a look

Try searching for blower motor resistor...

Unfortunately it wasn't empty if there was a cop there :sarcasm:

Never overtighten the tensioner bolt either though! Stick with stock spec, and follow the TSRM procedure for setting tension before you tighten it

If only it was, then you could use 'saving the environment' as an excuse for getting a larger turbo :biglaugh:

Don't forget to make sure It will still fit with your hose ends, with enough room for assembly and disassembly - and keep in mind that hose does not like to bend sharply! Probably common sense but still a good reminder ;)

If it was, it would've been a repost :biglaugh: That car is amazing, the outside is ok, It's clean as hell so just because It's not my style I can't really criticize anything. The computer control system, is absolutely incredible, like nothing I've ever seen before! The only thing that bugs...

Nope, still need to brake the engine in! Only 200 miles on it at this point Then I can install my boost controller, and have some fun :evil2: Only part throttle and minimum boost until then.

Yes don't take more then directed, but that doesn't mean if it isn't doing it's job that's the end of the story When I got my wisdom teeth pulled, I forgot to tell them I have a very high tolerance for all medication and I was sent home with some vicodin I don't really remember the ride home...

My timing, my tune, and I went for a 25 minute drive on the freeway first to get the cat nice and hot, which I didn't last time - IAT's were around 165, the first test they were around 130 (*F) My CPS was off by 180* and I could only get as high as 5* so that's about what I was running last...

Today: I passed emissions!!! and not by a narrow margin either, I blew my old results outta the water :D

Thanks Ian, I couldn't have done it without all your help over the years, but no, It's not shy of 2 years, it's more than :biglaugh: Still trying to tackle the tune, my log from my first emissions test shows like 130 deg F intake temps, so I wasn't fully warmed up from what I've seen the IAT...

Thanks :) It sounds much better in person, you can hear the turbo spool and whirr before I reach positive pressure, It makes me all giddy :D I've only hit 5 psi, (not like I'm trying to hit more) purely from the wastegate, and I'm sure the stock cat is helping keep the boost down ;) Yeah the...

Time for the first videos!! Excuse the black and white, my camera is messed up it's the only way I can record a video Cold start (well, right after the start) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS0l6ebvUnI And some part throttle runs in traffic (joy!)...

From back to front: Stock radiator (with fan shroud and clutch fan) Condenser Huge B&M oil cooler (mocal t-stat and the works) Power steering cooler (stock oil cooler) ETS IC Kit If you want pics, go through my build thread, I have to get ready for school so no time ;)

Yeah well, you know, the small things are always the first to be overlooked :) The car drove quite well today, minus a few misfires and hesitations, but that's most likely due to my lack of a tune! But I got some logs, and after some Q&A with Luis (thanks!!) I finally have clarity on a few...

:( Sad! At least you're ok though and noone else got hurt Hard boost + rain = bad news

Where is it leaking from? Are you sure it's not one of the fittings up above, or the drain plug on the bottom? You might not need a new one... I would try a pull-a-part type place (junkyard) if you still need one

Electric fans are garbage compared to the stock fan / clutch (as long as it's in working condition, look into rebuilding the clutch if it fails the hot / cold spin test) Oh, and don't change your pulleys either, I would not recommend that. Definitely stick with STOCK SPEC T-Stat and Radiator...

Well, I feel like an idiot! After being positive I put the CPS in correctly, I realized my cams looked a bit off for TDC, well, it was on the wrong stroke! I set the crank to 0*, double checked TDC with a chopstick in cyl 1, and managed to skip the step in the TSRM about looking for the cam...
