    Overheating/Water issues

    I just got done installing the turbo system on my car, I took it around the block last week and noticed when I got back, some coolant had boiled out of the radiator. Today I looked into it, I thought one of my head gaskets had let go. The temperature would come way up at idle, and when you...

    I noticed some coolant boiled out the last time I drove the car. After tinkering today it looks like its popped a head basket. Just my luck. Lol.

    Progress has been very slow since last weekend. I think I wrapped my other crossover pipe. Lol I was hoping my Moates chip would come in before this weekend, but no such luck. So I guess I'll be doing some more jackstand racing for now.

    Yeah, I couldn't tell ya what's goin on there. Like I said, had a little trouble with the crossover. But that was it.

    The other problem with running a tiny filter right off the inducer is, I guess it puts a thrust load on the compressor wheel. Which is hard on turbos. I agree, I don't wanna run my car without a filter. But I also don't want to choke the thing up with some little honda accord CAI filter...

    A lot of people do it. The main reason being their isn't room for a proper filter. At 12lbs and up, people have seen 20-25whp gains on a dyno when the tuner pulls the worthless little filter off. Until I decide on a filter, I'm doing the same thing, except I'll draw the air for mine from the...

    Got my 90* coupler in the mail today, but it doesn't fit into the stock airbox hole in the fender panel. I'm hoping I can trim the coupler some and get it to squeeze in there, really don't want to hack up the inner fender. Also, anyone here know if a filter off a BBK CAI would be sufficient...

    Yeah, I remember your TKO troubles when you first got your car to the track. I've got my tuning/datalogging stuff on the way, so I can start doing some street tuning next weekend. When you posted pictures up of your turbo project, it pushed me to start stashing money for mine. :D

    All I did yesterday was adjust my exhaust, re route my wastegate dump tube, and wrap one of my crossover pipes. I didn't even touch the car today, not going to mess with it anymore until I figure out an air filter.

    The kit was mocked up using a gt bumper cover, I was just comparing to what some of the LX guys over on Corral did to their covers. But I have noticed that some people are cutting out the actual bumper. So that might be how the are getting the room. About the timing, was just something I read a...

    I think Dave's car is H/C/I with a Hellion kit?

    Yeah, I dunno. The cold piping is set up as far back towards the firewall as it would go. I'll have to get my dads droid and take some video tomorrow.

    It's been a long day. But I was determined to drive this thing around the block today, and I did. Lol. All I can say is WOW! Set the timing at 20*, pulled the spout and unplugged the o2's. Driveability is pretty horrible right now, it bucks and won't idle at all. But my A/F was around 12.5 or...

    question about 2001 gt rear disc brakes on my 87

    I wanna say I've heard of guys cutting the bracket mount off the tube and somehow using the caliper brackets to work with fox axles. But that's about all the details I remember. Lol.

    I Just ordered my blanket from PTP. They are supposed to be on top of shipping theirs, so I hope to see it by Wed. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290380529659

    It's not touching it, bad angle with the camera. But it is pretty close. Yeah me too. I gotta get this turd started now and see if it reads A/F. :D

    I wish I had a H/C/I setup like you do. Lol. I see what you meant about the holes in the bumper, but oh well. Tell them it's a race car, not a show car. :) Does the turbo blanket fit pretty well? And have you found a oil relocation kit? I can't really decide. I found this one for $50 on...
