This happened while I was driving, I found a puddle of coolant on the floor and now I know why. Ya, I just pulled the radiator out. I probably shouldve just had it welded, but I needed a car to get to school tomorrow and this is all I have :/ Im going to try to find a stock radiator from somewhere a...

Looks like something damaged that area of the radiator. I will have to pad it up to make sure it doesn't happen again. In the meantime, jb weld!!!

Looks purrty, don't forget to get new hoses and test fit everything before you bolt it back on. Looks good.

Very torquey! torquey? idk...

Clean engine bay, good job!

3 year old thread bump for why? :/

Oh this is cool, I remember being so excited after doing the same thing. Be prepared for a harsh ride though. If I was going to do it again, I would have not replaced all my arms with sold heim joints. I still kept the stock front lower control arms and the A arms stock, and just replaced those bush...

Nice! You should post a pic of the entire side of the car, I want to see how everything flows.

This looks like a lot fun! I wish I was closer, I would be out there. I need to try to set something up like this down here in OK

Hi! Welcome!

P.S. We like pictures!

5 psi fluctuation is nothing to worry about. Numbers seem consistent.

I'll have to check on all that once I get the chance.
I cold compression checked my cylinders just now:
C1: 175
C2: 170
C3: 180
C4: 175

I've had that in the back of my mind also, I just don't want it to be true. I just replacedmy hg, so if it is blown again, i really domt know why that could be. Compression test will be done tomorrow if i can find my compression tester.

Hahaha you crazy!

I have ac and PS and am using a t3 top mount log manifold.

Hahahhaha yes!

The cooling issues have disappeared thankfully! ...Annnnnnnd my radiator blew up. I arrived at school(15 miles from home) and I looked under the car and there was coolant everywhere. I looked all over the coolant system and found a hissing and steam coming out of the radiator. What could cause this...

Haha thanks!
I've had the front end for a long time and finally got to put it on, I'm pretty excited about it!

I'm running a t3 at 7psi and only making 230 hp/tq, that should put things in perspective. You will need to run very high boost to make 300 hp which will be way out of the t2s efficiency range. It will also cost you more money because you have to buy a flange and have it welded. If you really are st...

I think the real question is, why do you want to use a t2 turbo to make 300hp?

Anyways, just weld the flapper shut and weld a wastegate flange on your manifold. Good to go.

Wow, that is legit.

Drop a teaspoon of oil in the low compression cylinder and do a compression test. If the compression goes up, your rings are bad.

If you leave everything to atmosphere it will get your oil black in 1000 miles or less. If you hook it to vacuum it will make your vacuum source dirty as **** Its your choice. I am planning on making a system that will give you the best of both worlds, but I need the time before I do it. I will post...

Didn't we just have a thread like this a week ago?
You will find many answers and many theories, understand what the pcv is, and you will be able to make your own decision.

I love seeing motors pulled from a car and sitting on an engine stand.
It's like Ramen Noodles; you have a blank slate and can make it into anything you want

This will be sick, good luck!

my front fenders are +30mm wider, so Im looking for something around 10 or 11 inches wide with a 0 offset or even maybe negative. Im not good at wheel at all, so I have no idea really. I am also thinking about going with 30mm wider rear overs to get a wider rear wheel also. I was looking at charge s...

Yup don't you hate when the car is down. It is a really big paper weight. I know, it takes the fun out of it. With all the trouble you've been going through, I'm surprised youre still keeping it going. I sometimes think its time to buy something nice and let this car go, but then I think of how muc...

Well I've decided to start getting the body put together. I dropped the car off to get the front end welded and put together. After that's done, I can finally get some big wheels and start having some real fun.
