If its not very obvious, can you give us another logical reason for coolant to be pushed from the radiator right at start up?
suprafan1993 just do a leak down test then you will know 100% if its the hg, too bad your bro would have to get rid of his car :(
Yes it is actually good advice, if coolant is being instantly pumped out when the engine is first started cold its a BHG. The coolant isnt even going to heat up at all in 10 seconds of running time and neither will the thermostat open.
It is VERY obvious to be a BHG when coolant its literally...
Shitty deal on that one, gets to me too when bolts just snap off..
One thing that could have helped would be to heat up the housing with a propane torch. stubborn bolts are such a PITA!
I have ran into this before with blow head gaskets. there was no coolant in the oil or oil in coolant but the headgasket WAS blown.
There was a small break inbetween the C chamber and the water jacket. When the car was running the compression in cylinder #3 was pushed into the water jacket...
One very quick way to check for a bhg is just remove the rad cap and start the car. If coolant starts being pushed out of the rad you have a bhg. Be weary, if its a large leak in hg coolant will literally shoot out.
Anyone know if a BIC DDP will bolt up to a boss, jt or sp61 turbo? Id imagine the wastegate could have a problem with hitting the divider in the elbow.
I have no problem modifying the DP to make it work or is this even possible to do?
Just throwing this out there but have you tried rolling back the timing to a less agressive standpoint like turbo is asking? Have you listened to the engine to see if its knocking with all that timing under full boost? It seems your tune is correct but the only thing that differs from others is...
Is that IC piping a diy kit or did you buy it like that? It looks pretty clean I must say, although you dont see that L shape in the piping before the throttle body's to often.
ahh yeah big white FTW. I live so close yet go up there so little lol. Im thinking since winter is my busy season and snowmobiles are more fun then a board could be why. If you come to kelowna again let me know, ill show you the car and party life around here. ;)
Surferofthesnow I congrat you on being strong enough and having the will power to stick to what you really believe!
Ive actually had a gf once where the parents got between us becasue I didnt share the same religious views. Her parents tried convincing me to go to theyre church, pray and so...
Maybe look around and ask questions at some local tuner shops and see what equipment they use? But really with almost hitting 500hp on a big turbo, an EMS would really help out with reduceing some of the lagg. Plus the other goodies you get along with it. A neat one is the anti lagg which could...
Id say your 550's would be sufficient for what your goals are. An EMS and a larger turbo would be the way to go, dont try and use the lex afm. Im also curious on how the BOSS series turbos perform and last compared to going with a garret or others...
If you want it to run corretly a recirc bov would be the way to go and with an auto the stalling will be more frequenlt mostly in stop and go traffic. Its very annoying IMO even with a 5 speed. Even though it doesnt happen alot its still really annoying.
