Idaho Tuner's 240/|SR Build thread

[Kalypso]

when you get a chance bring it to a large parking lot and take pics with the sunlight bathing on it.

I love the smoke effect at the tip of the hood.

its a great finale to an epic build thread.

[urcaptnspeaking]

that is what I dont like about it. Is the blue over the black, But i mean I would take it any day of the week

[derrick113]

looks really good, i bet youre excited to finally have it painted. Im dreading next week when i start all the body work on my car. Get those wheel wells painted or undercoated so youdont see the over spray

[nightsauce]

you have accomplished one of the goals of a 240 owner, to paint the car. SEXY btw!!!!!

[ILoveMyRHS13]

All I can say is:

[tramp_drift240]

shooooooooot, i was wondering what was up with your new sig.

sick paintjob. and that other picture with the lit up garage is damn nice.

i wish i had a garage like that. all big. with space for me to actually do stuff.

thanks guys. i think my thermostat went to day. i was driving under 10 psi and fricken thermostate goes i am sure, and the temps (oil and water) go up super fast i look back and there isa huge cloud of oil smoke. pull over right away. pop the hood and the dip stick is part way out and oil is all over. so i park i and let it sit then drive it home to night but it is over heating and so i have the heat on ful blast and it is pretty much steam coming out lol.

going to geta new thermostat and pcv valve. maybe replace some water temp sensors cause it is idling really rough.

good news is i gota new tune coming for it

[idahotuner]

well i am going to do some over hauls to my cooling system. going to geta new coolant temp sensor and thermostat. i have a pvc valve coming. so hopefully this helps my over heating problem and crazy idle

[240life]

sorry to hear about your over heating issue,...but i need a cold shower because your car just made me make happy time in my pants. awesome job

Holly hell, I just saw the new sig, I had to come hunting for pictures, car looks beautiful man, cant wait to see some outdoor pics, make sure to take them at sunrise or sunset, the color will really pop.

Sorry to hear about your engine troubles, good luck getting it fixed.

[redtop91]

I like it ben but I dont know how I feel about the black stripe on the hood...

LOL While the paint is well done, the stripe looks like *** IMO. Sorry Benito.

[idahotuner]

so i got my new tune which i will install today and then i will instlal some other new things and hopefully the car will be rolling good again.

[urcaptnspeaking]

get some videos when you get it all straight !

[idahotuner]

all righty. i got some pics i will up load here too.

[Slideways^Jordan]

Ben what the heck happen i just read that your car overheated, why is that how hot didit get and how that happen, did you stop right after you saw the temp go up to hot or what?

is the motor ok? and your gonna get a new thermostat and temp sensor.

and you got a revised tune from enthalpy what did you get reprogramed for the new tune or what did scott change?

[idahotuner]

yeah i pulled over as soon as it happend. my new tune took care of a glitch in my old tune stuff i got

welll i have found the reason for the crappy idle. it is because of my dirty maf. i will be cleaning that to hopefully solve the problem

the ecu was throwing the code 12 and from waht i could find that is the MAF. and i knows it dirty from my old catch can set up noot working the greatest. does any one know if a dirt MAF could cause your car to over heat if your driving with the MAF being dirty. most likely it would lean the fuel ratio out because of the oil on the sensor which would cause the car to run hotter. which hopefully will fix my problem.

i will probably replace the thermostat to be safe.

[240lookis]

wow your car looks great. i love how big the rear tires are.you should get a gtr grill though.

[idahotuner]

thanks man. a gtr grill is coming as soon as i get her running smoothly again.

[urcaptnspeaking]

^^ It makes sense but IM not sure really.

[idahotuner]

yeha but i guess that wouldnt be ebough t ocause it to over heat. i will pull the thermo stat and see waht it is like after that.

[Slideways^Jordan]

haha man your Licens Plate is awsome

[idahotuner]

haha thanks man. i have the front one too. i am just dreading puttig it on

[addisonblck]

dude ur car looks frickin sweet!

first pic look so aggresive

[Naloos13]

nice paint man. As far as overheating goes, a dirty maf wouldnt come close to causing that. idk if you used any rtv on anything when you were building, but my old motor when i ripped it apart, apparently the factory loves that stuff, and it was actually overheating because some leftover rtv had clogged two of the coolant ports. Anyway, good luck...be careful with the bee r...their notorious for killing turbo's...wouldnt want that to happen to yours.

[idahotuner]

well i pulled my thermostat out and it opens but i dont havea thermometer to see if it opens at the right temp. o will find one though and see.
