Re: team ab drag race and street builds
update on my car. this is unfortunately not a fun update for me. i now have a few hundred miles on my car and there are a few problems i need to figure out. I will be working on the car this weekend and here are the problems.
First I have an oil leak or two. I noticed what looks to be the ofh leaking where the adapter is for the turbo feed. It seems loose in the hole as i can basically turn it both ways. the adapter just seems like a crappy design, i received it this way.
second i have a coolant leak that seems to be from one of the turbo lines. not sure as i can't see it, will know more when its in the air.
third i have vibration under throttle, feels like its by my feet so I'm pretty sure the drivers axle is the problem.
last and the worst is my new gates belt is being chewed up bad. on the engine side it is chewed on the outside. my guess is the oil pan bolt or the kingly crank trigger. the drivers side of the belt is also fraying and chewed on the inside of the belt. who knows, oil pump? not sure yet. the belt does seem to favor the drivers side of my cam gears. one big thing i noticed when installing the crank pulley was it didn't want to go on or come off. seems like the crank was warped or maybe it took a smash. I seriously hope this was not the case as boomdeeze seems to be a good guy,but you never know these days. i will be pulling the oil pan also to see if anything is out of the ordinary. I do have a spare crank so if it's an issue I will have to decide what to do at this point. I am exhausted as I have tied up a lot of time and money in this car so not %100 the route I will take if something is really messed up, but I will keep everyone posted on the car.
