My car is out of service.

Post by **Florida240sx** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 8:09 am

After today my car is no longer driveable. 4 problems now.#1 is the issue I've had with my fuel. #2 I've had an on going power steering leak problem and now the turbo has melted the hose lol.#3 my cat is smoking so just need to put a high flow cat or gut it. #4 my radiator cracked today. Anywhere I can get a radiator cheap?Would like koyo but too high priced at the moment. Factory would be fine. Need it by Saturday so I can go to a nico meet.

The IAP kit is awesome so far.Everything should be taken care of.Getting a radiator on Monday.Getting a new hose and goign to wrap it in my aluminum Still undecided abotu my cat.Whether to get a high flow or just gut mine out.Luckily it didn't catch fire..... Loved it though today when I had a GT stang mess with me, as soon as he heard my wastegate and me taking off he gave up.

I've sent emails to 4 dynos. Trying to get it dynoed on Saturday. So I can go to the meet on Saturday night.Should have all my mechanical problems fixed by wednesday.Radiator is very simple.Might be eliminating power steering...And about to order a test pipe now...

you know...i have a factory 240 radiator in mint condition in my storage....but the catch is...its from a jdm front clip...so the top hose doesnt go to the passenger side...it goes to the drivers side....id sell it for like 40 bux plus shipping...which wouldnt be to much since it doesnt wiegh hardly anything...if you want it...send me an email at [email protected]

I got a couple offers to buy some others.But decided to just go buy a brand new one. Because mine was mint or so I thought...Just cracked at the top like 1/2 inch.Sat there looking at it forever and couldn't see it. Besides after the way UPS treated my turbo kit don't want to them to touch anythign else. Thanx for the offer. If I didn't need it this week I would of taken you up on your offer.Thanx again.

um how the heck did ur turbo melt the power steering line? id love to see a pic of that. are u referring to the ps reservoir? as for the cat, run open DP if u feel brave or just test pipe it and be done with it. we have no emissions here as u know so....................................

Sounded awesome as open DP. Was so loud and wasn't even under load.Think the cops could easily find me.... Nope the power steering line that goes to the res.This thing puts off soo much heat.While I replace everything I'm going to change my heat shield to galv(2x thicker) the alum was doign fine my brake res was feeling good. edges of heat shield were normal temp but center nest to turbo burned my hand. It was doing it's job.Just didn't have it everywhere it needed to be.Another eample of how hot it is...I think it was related or my A/C is goign out.My idle is jumpy unless a/c is on.So I keep my A/C on.My a/c started getting hot. I switched it one time to just fan to see how my idle was and all I had was hot air blowing...So far: Car 47 Me 1 GT mustang 0 (out on my test runs he wanted to impress his girl,but got pwned)

Open downpipe is fun! Sounds like a driveby sometimes tho so prepare to get shot back at.lol jk

My radiator cracked too. I just fiberglassed it and it has been fine ever since.

Gut the cat for now.

Heat shield the lines. I am also stumped as to how this occured....

Fuel is quite obvious.

Post by **Florida240sx** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 6:08 pm

Well had heat shield on one side of turbo.So it reflected all the heat back towards my valve cover and downward because hood is above..So it went down to where my powersteering line is. It def. got hot. It's bubbled up or was earlier..Pics tomorrow.Going to come up to the meet this Saturday in Orlando?

Which wideband did you go with??

Post by **Florida240sx** » Mon Aug 01, 2005 2:19 pm

lc-1 with xd-1 gauge. from injectedpeformance.

Post by **FloydS13** » Mon Aug 01, 2005 5:34 pm

wow that sucks!! but for the cat, if you gut it will be louder than getting a high flow but I'm kinda partial to loud and obnoxious. 2more days and I'm finally home.

Post by **Florida240sx** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 3:20 pm

Your exhaust sounds like **** IMO. Does have a nice sound a low but when you get on it all I here is RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!! I'll just leave an open DP and make your car cry.

Post by **FloydS13** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 3:53 pm

the only reason my car would cry is because you have boost and its still waiting. because of my law problem / problems!!!! I come back tommorow night at about 7:30 and I'll be in town by 8/9 so youve got to give me a ride

My car is out of service.
