Re: The new setup for spring!
 

Not to scare you but it didnt sound like it started very well.

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

lol its fine....

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

Its a brand new rebuilt motor though isnt it?

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

It only does that when I just get done driving it and its hot... Its not tuned yet and takes a little bit more... otherwise it starts right away..

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

Looking good now get it tuned and post up the numbers!

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

Yeah that's normal for a DSM to start like that during a hot start, my GSX did the exact same thing and it's very embarrassing when there's a hot chick around and you're trying to act balla in your 2G.

Looks good dude, get it tuned!

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

LOL thanks and yes It will be tuned on wed at 12 if I can get off my ass and get the last things hooked up and done! I'm taking a break from trying to hook up my 2 step on my car just because I'm not little and getting under that dash is the biggest B@T$# in the WORLD!!

Still need to put the radiator in and get the e85 and such...
I'm going tomorrow to have primo weld a 02 bung on my exhaust for my wideband, then I have to install that and my 2 step at the moment..
I changed the oil today and the engine finally has Mobil 1 10w 30 synthetic

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

Don't you work with Vandde?

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

You need to do wiring under the dash for a 2-step on a 2G? Seems odd, as on a 1G it's a function inside Link that requires no wiring.

Glad you got her started!!

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

Yes I'm his boss

Ya you have to hook the wire from the clutch to the ecu Its more of a tap into the clutch wire... And thanks but I just ran into a problem today... My a/c fan that I have been using to cool my car when it isnt running is toast because of the heat... "wires melted"

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

Lol, I'm his buddy with the white 2g GSX. Glad to see you finally upgrade. ^.^

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

LOL thanks I hear your car is coming along aswell!

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

Yeah well, kinda lol... Needs some work but it'll do. Still gathering the new set up so yeah... I wanna see you run Vandde after Wednesday. Hope it all goes well with the tuning man!

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

Thanks but I think Im a little SOL because I installed the radiator and hooked up the slim fans so that I could run them both for cooling istead of one and one of them is kinda crapping out on me and only blowing like 40% so its still getting hot today...... :(

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

It seems like your having way to much of an over heating problem. Maybe your water pump is leaking or just not working properly. You shouldnt be having that much of a problem after installing a aluminum radiator

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

Good luck that's all

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

I'm still overheating!!

I put spacers on the hood
Removed the thermastat " MAP recomended it "
Bought a mishimoto radiator and cap
running mostly water and some coolent
have 2 mishimoto 12 inch slim fans running at all times
REMOVED A/C
Put a heat sheild on my manifold and turbo

I had a 180 thermastat in there before I removed it, All of this has been happening since I got it back from map and I dont know what else i could do.... I think it could be my water pump because I will let the car run for 20 min at idle with a funnel and a radiator cap with a hole cut into it to suck in when needed and nothing, but when I turn the car off it bubbles and sucks some in.... the I do it again but at the end it doesnt suck any in... next step I put the cap on and move my car like 25ft then look again and my hose's are callapsed!! what could this be?

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

Collapsed hoses and hole in radiator cap are it. You gotta have pressure in the system for it work properly. I'd prolly switch to like a 50/50 mix instead of mostly water.

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

Thats what I had..

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

You have tried everything except the waterpump, just get it over with and replace it. Its not to bad and map should warranty it

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

I have done everything except drill a hole in the thermastat and put it back in... and also i havent done a pressure test yet either.

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

i've got a pressure tester if you want to do a pressure test. just give me a call or shoot me a text

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

well I'm done with messing around with this and am going to drop it off at map tomorrow after work... I'm so unsatisfied about it all and want them to fix what is needed

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

HOpe you get it back soon.

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

So do I as to its my dd.... I know it shouldnt be but it is..

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

I know how that is. I need to find myself something else to drive to work everyday.

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

Ok well I thought that I updated all of you on this thread but I guess not.. For those of you that know me... I made 442awhp and 378awtq on maps dyno on 29psi I wanted more but was told that my intercooler was the number one thing that is keeping me from more hp! Its the Greddy 24v LONG ROUTE.... O well guess I need to start saving for the ETS race intercooler that I was looking at..

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

Pic doesn't work.

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

If your still overheating, and your fans arent moving air well, voltage drop your fan circuit. Adding another fan to the circuit would make it worse working on the same wires if you have a bad voltage drop.

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

No, im cooling fine now!

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

I thought that I got it to work but guess not and now I cant even get it to load onto photobucket because it says that the format is wrong...!

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

What was the cooling problem?

Nice numbers man... Have you raced Vandde yet? LOL

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

I needed a stock fan back in there to cool better and it works perfect. Also, had to rewire the fans up and run 1 12" mishimoto and the stocker onthe passenger side... had to weld a 90 degree elbow on the turbo and move the intercooler piping a little bit to make it fit though..

No I havent raced vandde yet and wont for the time being.. I want my tranny to hold up for the cookout.. Also, dont want to launch it till I get my shep stage 4 this winter I just dont want the problems..

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

stop being a pussy and launch the bitch, thats what its made for.

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

Listen to yourself.....

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

I think I will just because.. like I said I dont wanna miss the cookout because my need to really test out my car.

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

DO it after the cookout.

Re: The new setup for spring!
 

Maybe I will...................
