My car is down..again

[LinuxRacr]

Me too. Turbo has less than 2,000 miles on it.

Manifold repaired. I don't have the time or money to recoat it. The flange was also machned to be flat once again. Here are a few pics of the gastly manifold:

I only need water lines now, and I'm set.

Damn what happened to your manifold. If you need water lines for your turbo

call Stan at Fast-turbo.com, he should have water lines and fittings in

stock(tell him Albert told you). You can get a hold of him at 1-877-98TURBO if

you need them ASAP.

Where is Fast-turbo located? The manifold was stripped of it's jet-hot coating, so that it could be re-welded. That's why it looks so tore down. It won't be on my car for long probably though. I have plans for tubular cast.

Thanks!

Glad to see you're getting it up and running again. I sympathize with your problems. I had my fuel pump go out on me today, so ive gott aorder one in...

 

[LinuxRacr]

You have a thread detailing the symptoms you experienced when you fuel pump went out, so that others may learn (Cause I wanna learn)?

 

[LinuxRacr]

Assymbled again. Now I just have to re-tap the stud hole in the head that the threads got pulled out in, and put the assymbly in the car. Again, I am not going to a car show, it will just function now. So I don't want to hear about how ugly the manifold looks. I don't plan to have this manifold on too long.

THAT MANIFOLD LOOKS LIKE HELL, YOU OUTTA BE ASHAMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



jk Glad to hear it's nearly back up and running.

The Leaks

Here is a pic of the exhaust leaks the warped manifold caused:

 

[LinuxRacr]

Well, I just finished putting my car back together. All I need now is a new silicone coupler for my intake pipe to my compressor housing. The GT28RS has a bigger inlet. I will start her up tomorrow.

 

[LinuxRacr]

Ok, got the car started earlier, and it was running. It felt good. Then I saw little green drops falling under the car. It appears I have a coolant leak from somewhere around the water pump. WTF? (pissed)

 

[LinuxRacr]

These pictures are scaring me:

See pictures below. Follow the wetness patterns that change with each picture angle. (nervous)

 

[LinuxRacr]

These pictures give me hope!

Looking at these pictures, the coolant is NOT coming from the head area, but from the thermostat housing:

What I believe I need:

The circled gasket is what I need it looks like. While I'm at it, I can put my JDM Mazdaspeed lower temp thermostat back in. The gasket is $5.70 + tax. No dealers stock it locally. :

what's the difference?

My symptoms were pretty severe.
I couldn't hold a constant fuel pressure at idle.
I was bucking, spitting, and overall driveability went down the tube after the tune had been fine for months.

I know that it can be less severe, and not be able to provide enough fuel up top no matter how much you add. It would just feel like you hit a brick wall in the upper rpms when your pump can't keep up anymore.

I saw the thread finally.
