Blown Radiator!!!!!!!!

[240sx beast]

K....Last night i was racing alot and I ended up blowing my radiator....and like evaporated water smoke was coming out of my exhaust when i turn it on....is that part of a blown radiator or maybe i need oil or something else got damaged, can anybody help or might know what happen???

By the way, i smoked a Twin Turbo Srt4 by like 7 cars and a muscle GTO, and a SVT Cobra.

you may have blown your head gasket and the massive increase in pressure is what blew your radiator apart. Get a new radiator and pressure test the system before firing it up see if it holds pressure. If not pull the plugs and see if coolant is filling the cylinders.

Does anybody know some signs of blown headgaskets??

[NISTECH]

heavy white smoke out the exhaust of a running engine. and loss of pressure when pressurizing the cooling system with no external leaks

Its more like condensated smoke coming out of the exhaust...

blown headgasket. a blown radiator does not cause steam to come from the exhaust. a bad radiator just leaks coolant.

Not in this forum please.

Dam....no more racing for me....Im just gonna fix this problem and sell my vehicle.

[IvoryJ30t]

let me get this straight. supposedly you have all these mods, and a blown head gasket is cause to sell it???

i think my BS flag needs a bigger pole.

Well..i just got a call back from the place i took it and they said that i just need a new radiator and that the condensed smoke coming out from the exhaust was water sucked in through the intake or exhaust ...something like that.. Thank God it wasnt something like blown headgaskets ....

Guys even if he is full of bs the only person he's lying to is himself so please keep posts like that out of this forum

Sry bout that, I was just trying(in my own little way, i guess) to help him realise that there is no need to post the things he has "beaten" because it makes people have less respect and are less willing to help. Since obviously he doesn't care for his 240 like most of us do(selling his car instead of fixing it. I've spent many hrs working on my car because I love it). I beleive that if someone comes on here using their car as just a race slut and can't treat it like how it is, they are just asking to get flamed. I do appologize to 240sx beast however, as it was out of line to go all "omg liar!" on him, but he really should stop doing that, it belittles himself and other 240 owners.

there was just no excuse for including his daydream about beating thse cars. it has no impact on the diagnosis of his problem, and it just makes people angry because people like him give all of us a bad name.

NISTECH- you have helped me out alot, and i apologise for bringing an attitude in here.

[NISTECH]

Thats fine I understand both your point of veiw, I am only trying to keep the flame fest out of the online mechanic forum. I really dont think it gives 240 owners a bad name because of his fantasy[my opinion] I plan on having a 240 myself here soon[well kinda] I really dont think what others do or say about theirs effect what I do with mine.

[240sx beast]

Well...i dont know y u guys dont believe me about the cars I beat...but anyways u would have to see my car, then u might have a diff opinion....And no, im not selling my car, i was just stressed over the fact that it might have been totaled or something and im not rich..but i thought long and hard about it and the good times ive had and will have and it would be stupid to sell it. If u guys have a meet place in CA, i would be willing to take my car and hang-out.
