Engine Problem Plz Help
Hey guys,
Here's my problem, a few months ago me and my dad changed out the clutch fork. During which we had a little problem and pushed the downpipe to the side a little to lower the tranny. Once, we changed the fork and I drove it for a day I started having some cooling problems, that I never had before. I took the car to Rotary Performance and they fixed 2 leaks and my cooling fans, but that didnt fix it.
Here are the symptons as of today.
1. Rought Starts, sounds like it starts on one rotar for a few sec. and then runs fine. Once the engine is warm, the car great the only problem is that the boost seems to be a little weird. The patter is 10-8 then spikes to 13.5 then holds at 10. I dont know what caused this.
2. Once the other rotar start running it smokes pretty bad until warm. Everytime.
3. Im lossing some coolant, not to sure where it is going.
4. Oil leak that is coming from around the turbos, Also smoke comes from the same area as the turbos. I think it has to do with the oil leak because it disappears after a few mins. I think the oil is leaking onto the turbos or down pipe and then burns once those parts get warm.
I know this sounds like a bad coolant seal, because I've checked into it. I havent dont my own pressure test to it because RP did one and said the engine was fine.
Could I have loosened something else that is letting cooling into the engine? Like something with the turbos, from pushing on the downpipe?
The engine has around 20k on it and the mods are as follow:
Apexi Intake
Downpipe, Not sure what it is
Greddy Exhast
Any help would he appreciated.
