MP3Night Turbo Build

what fans are you using? if stock go down to advance auto and pick up some hayden slim fans. they are like $50-60 each, can be either push or pull and flow pretty good. i have two 10" fans cuz they were out of 12", but they work great no problems. also replace your radiator cap if it's old.

You'll want to get rid of those worm clamps in favor of some t-bold clamps. Also, make sure your oil cooler lines don't rub a hole in your A/C lines. Over time small vibrations and wind causes the lines to move back and forth.

Both slim fans kick on for a bit when the temp gets to normal running, but I'll get a new rad cap

Yeah I ran out of T-bolt clamps, but will be replacing those warm clamps

A little late to ask, but is there a water/coolant inlet/outlet on the gt25r or does it not matter where I hook the lines?

 

[justanothermp5]

i dont beleive it matters which one you hook up where

Got a problem...Help me out

Well heres all what I have taking in to account. Fuel maybe? coils are old. Plugs are old. Spark plugs were bought this year, but would I need colder ones? I get down to normanl idle and it just dies, but if I keep it up in the rpm it runs/sounds good and drives good. The oil light is from the oil relocation kit, but I'm going to go back to my sandwich plate in the mean time because that light bothers me. I'm lost Help me out...Heres a video

 

[justanothermp5]

possibly a bad MAF, was that a cold start? my car has a kinda iffy cold start but thats the SSAFC, apparently alot of people have this problem

but if it does it all the time, then idk could possibly be a vac leak too

 

[MP3Night]

No it was a warm start and also i forgot to say I saw a spark come from one of my coil plugs.

 

[HKPRO5]

Im gonna say vac leak.

 

[MP3Night]

A vac leak would cause my car to not be able to idle? The fist time I start it it starts up then dies, the second time I start it I'm holding the revs with the peddle and as soon as I let go it just dies. A vac leak can cause that...crazy I'll try looking tomorrow

 

[justanothermp5]

yea, vac leaks are ****** crazy, when i had a vac leak from my EGR (one of the bolts came loose) my cars idle was super bad, i had to add fuel on the split sec at idle just so it wouldnt stall
making a boost leak tester helps too, i made one for my car and it helped me alot in finding leaks that made my idle bad

oh s***, just saw u said there was a spark, that means bad plug wires, get new ones ASAP

Could a valve cover with a bad gasket cause a vac leak?

Nice Inte'rcooler (yes)

Haha works perfect

Would loosing a bunch of air from my bov cause a idle problem? Because I have a huge leak there and the hoses that go around my pcv valve and to my intake are leaking too ( which are the hoses running from my oil catch can. It's to late to go get some couplers and clamps, but I thought I would ask now.
Heres my tester I used

yes.

 

[MP3Night]

Well thats got to be it then!
Thanks Damian for the fast reply...still learning

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

haha. no problem david.

 

[justanothermp5]

if your loosing air from the PCV then thats def a problem, when mine was doing that the idle was terrible, made a boost leak tester, found the leak, clamped the hoses, and bam, problem solved

 

[MP3Night]

Got rid of all the vac leaks and got the car to idle for a bit to jump around and look into the engine bay, its for sure those bad plugs I spoke of sparking thats giving me that horrible idle...I will be picking up brand new ones tomorrow morning(thumb)
