No prob, I'm just jazzed I finally found one for my car after 2 years.

 

Dinnercoat...do you even have tranny fuild in your car? lol

 

Yes I do. =P

 

I'm surprised the previous owner didn't. He was such an asian guido, had random carbon fiber stickers on the end of the turn signal and wiper switches and on the glove box release. And KYB stickers on the shift consol. Those were the first thing I took off from the car.

 

Bitch don't take those off! They give 10hp a piece!

 

ok..im going totally turbo fc noob with this but...if u know me...i have only owned na 7s....so here it goes....my car does not boost until full operating temp...just wanna make sure...is that a safe mode?..or should my car boost wenever i want it to?....it boosts fine wen its warm and has been driven for about 5-10 min....and also...wen i changed my oil..i always chek the dipstick after 4 qts.....well on this one after i cheked...it was full after 4 qts...am i seeing things?...i know my na's took almost 5....and in the pepboys lube guide (yes i work at pepboys...stop laughing), it even said all models 4.7qts....i called the dealership but they didnt seem to know...are jdm s4 t2 motors different wen i comes to oil capacity?...pls sum1 lemme know asap...cuz i dont wanna blow my 1st turbo fc.. im beginning to wonder if thats even the stock dipstick? could these two symptoms be linked together?.....randy

 

Yeah man I'm gonna get a vtec sticker that'll give me like 50 horsepower!

 

The problem is obvious. You just need to sell it to me for $1K =P

jk, you don't have a Haynes manual? or looked it up in the FSM? Or the real question, why won't I read that huge paragraph you posted?

 

When you say it doesn't boost does it just stay at 0 on the boost gauge?

 

u know..i was just testing that out...it seems to boost according to the gauge..it just doesnt pull like it does wen its at full operating temperature...it feels like an n/a wen cold....seems like a fuel issue...feels like the injectors arent letting enuf fuel to the engine until its at full op. temp...im guessing its a safe mode?...so that i cant boost until its warm...but anyways..im more worried about the oil issue....the haynes manuals are garbage....every1 knows that...thats why im asking u guys....any1 that has a jdm s4 t2 motor?...zach?...

 

LOL my friend has everything u said even some annoying stickers and those weird racing emblems.. and i whooped his *** with my FC.. that should shut him up haha

 

Hey check this guy out
http://www.moller.com/index.htm

He's in Davis and he made a sky car (flying car) out of 8 rotary engines. Supposedly he improved on the engine as well to make it more fuel efficient and less emissions. I thought it was pretty interesting.

His cars go on sale in a few months, but I don't know the price yet.

 

i think i've seen that on mythbusters but never actually tested that.. it was just in the background

 

lol those sky cars have been around for 20 years now, and he's always saying they'll go on sale in a few months, supposedly they were gonna do some testing, but i haven't heard anything about it in years

 

They're for sale now. The price ranges from $500,000 to $900,000.
That's a little out of my price range.

 

Well thats probably just because the engine is not completely igniting everything because it isn't hot enough yet. It's nothing to worry about I'm sure. About the oil issue, I don't know if the dip sticks are different so you might want to look into that.

 

Zach sold his car a while back.

You shouldn't be "punching it out" when it's cold.

Some cars limit boost till a certain temperature is attained however I think FC's are a little pre-historic to that idea. But I could be wrong.

 

Randy,

S4 TII's didn't have a safety system to keep you out of boost when the engine was cold. But it's a good thing that yours does it anyway. Boosting on a cold motor is bad news. About the oil thing, I'm not sure what to think of that. I had a USDM motor in my car. But I've never heard of a lower oil capacity in any 13B. My TII used to take just under 5 quarts. How's she running? I'm sure that you're loving life in boost.

Zach

 

Woot...

the ACT clutch kit is in...

I stalled the TII 5 times already on the first drive...it's kooky...

 

^newb lol. what did you end up going with s/s?

 

Nice. What stage? I stalled my civic with an ACT in it a few times. Then I go into my FC with a stock clutch and it feels like a feather and take forever to engage. I want a clutch kit.

 

ACT stage 2 disc with a heavy duty pressure plate...

 

No more slippage eh?

Say remember that black S5 front bumper .... ?

 

yea yea yea. ill get the pics. nice to see you got your name changed. just remember who named you 'dinnercoat' two years ago. lol. ME!

 

well it runs great...just the fact of taking 4 qts of oil is scaring me...the dipstick reads full..so idont know..should i throw in another qt. just in case? maybe i should use my gf's base model dipstick to chek it?...ok well if u get any more info on the oil capacity let me know...thx zach...randy


ps...ha...i drove my gurls base model the other day....BIG DIFFERENCE.....lol..so slow....im never going bak to na..lol
