I posted on the second gen and a persons suggested to post here im having a coolant issue, when I drive my car for a while it gets really hot all the hose and everything else and it smells hot and it goes trough my coolant really fast. When I first got the car, it did it too but it was leaking and I fixed it but as far as I know, it is not leaking. It is fine when i go to work and back home but when I drive any more then that it starts getting hot my gauge doesn’t really works so when its in the middle is when my car is like this so any ideals would be good on what is wrong

It sounds like coolant seals.

Pretty much they are bad and the engine is heating and pressurizing the coolant because the seal barroier has been breached.

My car did it. I could drive normal for a while but once I stopped the car would purge some coolant out of the tank in the front of the car.

The only fix is to rebuild the engine and hope that you didn't wapr any parts resulting in more $$$

so is it cheaper to do it my self or buy a rebuilt

buy a jspec or rebuilt it yourself. there's a few of us here in Chandler and Mesa.

Obviously cheaper to do it yourself, but thats A) if you have the time B) know what you are doing) C) have the space, and tools

If you are broke, aren't worried about performance, and really just want it back on the road regardless if it lasts 50k miles, then I suggest you try it yourself.

If not I offer motor rebuilding services, shops in Peoria.

japan never made nonturbo motors. non-turbo motors can only be found in the US.

gono

TurboII hood, driveshaft, rearend, and halfshafts..

There is no way to install it though, no-one around here even touches anything other than hondas. I know because a friend checked around for me and he knows everyone, well pretty much everyone.

To run a TII engine in a NA you'll need...

:: Running the engine ::
Standalone ECU(Haltech/Micortech/etc)
OR
Stock ECU for your cars year plus boost sensor/knock sensor/US Spec TII wiring harness/Rtek or FCD

:: Driveline ::
TII tranny with Mazdatrix driveshaft which mates to the stock NA rearend
OR
TII tranny /TII rearend and half shafts/ and driveshaft

:: Misc ::
most likely rebuilt turbo/engine/injectors
Walbro fuel pump


There is no one in Phx which does this conversion.
It took me 10 months to complete mine and then maybe 3 months of trouble shooting while driving to get it in a good state.
