It was my old master and booster from my champagne s14 and I dont believe I have any issue with them. I suppose it could have leaked.meet07 wrote:I wouldn't blame the tuner...Just from reading this build thread Tim you either have bad luck or you don't know what your doing. Do like I did and download the FSM. It helps a bunch. Then back probe all of your sensor to the ecu to make sure your getting all the proper readings.
I was wondering if your brake master cylinder was leaking.....If it was leaking along the frame and the scream pipe did what it does best(SCREAM!!) then there goes your flame.
I knew i recognized that name from somewhere... (preludepower.com)meet07 wrote:I had a 91 prelude that caught fire like that back in the day. I had my battery in the trunk, and the cable that ran from the fuse block to the trunk was rubbing against the brake like and sparked. Caught fire but I was able to put it out with my shirt..lol Not funny at the time.
now I have a gutted oem thermostat. will that cause the water to flow too fast thru the radiator and not cool? i had NO thermostat on a KA and that happened. but i felt the gutted thermostat would restrict the flow enough especially since I have an upgraded radiator. I want to relocate my motor back to fit a clutch fan (weld/redrill motor/transmission mounts) Opinions on stock radiator with clutch fan?meet07 wrote:Oh that's right, you said you have Nistune. At one time I had Nistune and that will help make sure your sensor's are doing what there suppose to do.
What kind of Thermostat do you have? Get a cooler Nismo thermostat. You want to make sure your RB stays cool in the summer. I also say you talk about raising your hood up in the rear. I to did the same thing after reading so many post about overheating RB's. I did it for safe measures.
TPS: Download the FSM and look at the section about TPS. I'm sure the wiring is the same. It should only be 3 wires, and I'm sure there in the same order as the series 1.
I'm getting a stock KA radiator from my friend, if its fine with that and 2 fans I'll run it, with the stock rad if I can fit a clutch fan I will. (No room with the High mount intercooler for the pusher fan in front just checked)Yellow4g63 wrote:Tim Fthose electric fans and throw the fan clutch in it. I live in Socal desert area and my car runs @ 179-185 and 190ish in traffic on a hot day (100's).
After I get the Nistune program or can my tuner get that for me? (would he be willing I have no idea) I have the gap at 0.45 a HAIR past 1.0 not 1.1 tho I adjusted my MBC and the car ran 1.1bar so 16/17psi (it ran 1.5bar and I let off 1st run adjusted too high haha)Carl H wrote:send me an extracted rom from your board once you get it...iirc the r34 ecu uses a crude VE calculation method vs the old 'fuel table' from other nissans of the era.
s14's use the same style ecu and they're super finnikey to make work.
also that gap is large for rb motors, i'm guessing its a 1.1mm gap...untill you get some better coils you may have problems firing across that kind of gap.
narrow them down to around 0.8mm and go from there.
the 1 fan is just not enough and my only reason for stock rad is to have clearance for 2 efans just trying options. ^^^^^^^^^^Mixeds14 is right dude. Your intercooler is not allowing enough air to keep that radiator cool. Of course its not running hot while your driving, but sitting still, with the under hood temps, 1 or even 2 10" fans and small stock radiator that can't breath........your just asking for trouble. If this vehicle was a track car I could understand but its not. Let that radiator breathe some more.mixeds14 wrote:Wow. Y dont u move ur intercooler to behind the bumper support. Thats probably y u having some heating problems.. that cooler is probably blocking all the air from goin into the radiator. I seriously doubt the stock ka is goin to help u if u keep the intercooler ib the same spot...
