Lookin Good!

How many times have you changed the oil after the swap now? I would do it once after starting it up, once again after that and once more after 500 miles, beats pulling it apart again.

 

[Taz Magister]

figured out the vac problem... broken map sensor also the exhaust manifold problem... bolts wern't tight at all...

 

[Taz Magister]

hot digity dog just found the source of all that coolant the smaller coolant elbow don't know what the fix is considering its a brand new elbow but .... my car may be up and 100% tonight

 

[dsmuts]

did you put vaseline on the elbow before install? I've heard of them ripping before.

 

[Taz Magister]

no...

 

[dsmuts]

maybe you ripped it? Wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to fix though.

 

[Taz Magister]

Just have to find a place that has the elbows

 

[dsmuts]

I'm pretty sure autozone has them

 

[Taz Magister]

Now my car won't run at all? Just starts shutters and turns off what the ****!!!!

Re: Taz's Offical build list. Update (whats fouling my plugs)

so I pulled the front bank and found the plugs like this

this is a brand new plug since he swap... so less than an hour of use and its safe to say its fouled a bit... I cleaned the front bank off real quick and it managed to start and idle... I'm going to go and clean the back off real quick and see what type of readings I get...

but the question is whats the cause of this... I would think the vaccum leak thats now fixed is the source but will ceaning the plugs up a bit and letting it idle for awhile burn off the rest of the carbon I can't get to and salvage the plugs? or more importantly do you think its more than just fuel that caused this?

 

[Taz Magister]

cleaned the rear bank off seems to idle fine well as fine as it can with out a sc belt I'm going to go get a new coolant elbow fix that and then make sure this thing runs for an hour or so becaus its showing some moisture in the oil

 

[matt5112]

what injectors are you running?

Has it been tuned since you changed them?

Because you were probably on n/a's then jumped to s/c's which will run PIG rich if at all until you get your pcm reflashed.

Edit: Oh snap.... you have 42.5's....

Surprised it runs at all.

Paul threw a base tune on it already tho
