Actually i found the leak. It was coming from the upper radiator hose. The leek was so small that the coolant dried before it ever hit the ground (which is why i thought it must have been an internal problem).

so i have a new hose and everything should be good to go. I've been really worried about not being able to make power with my NA, so im really excited about this.

i have to run it by you guys first though, just so i dont waste all my money.

what do you think i would need to do in addition to the SC? maybe a fuel upgrade?

 

would you guys know if a 94 FD fuel pump would be compatible for my turbo II swap?

 

yes, fd fuel pump is a direct bolt on for the fc one

 

thanks vipers.
yea, i was the one that eivad1 was talkin about.
didn't replace my N/A fuel pump and trying to find why the car won't start.
everything else is fine but never knew we had to change the fuel pump.
kinda scary if you ask me. almost killed my engine if i didn't catch that.

im just gonna get my friends 94 FD fuel pump since he's replacing his,
and instead of going out any buying one, unless you suggsest that.

 

thats good to know, seeing as how i might be the new owner of a Paxton/ Nelson Supercharger Kit.

 

I thought that was you! after I saw you it took me a second, but I was like "hey isnt that lil Con??? Michelle also thought it was you.

 

posting these for Dave. (Riceburner2001)

 

that metal i cut n the 3rd pic is hard to cut so hard that i accidently cut to the outside of my car cuz i lost control on the saw andit made a small cut i have to work on more of that cutting and that tar stuff then paint the inside red. thanks casey for posting these and i will look at my camera to adjust the sizing

 

no need to adjust... the settings are just fine.

 

That's awesome. Good troubleshooting and problem solving matt. I've heard paxton makes a pretty good supercharger. I'm sure the horsepower gain will be very noticable. . If you can afford it go for it. Do you guys think he'll need more fuel to prevent leaning out and maximizing power gains. Is there an ECU upgrade for NA's.

looks good riceburner!

 

well the deal is almost done, just need to work out the small stuff now

im super excited, i was so worried the NA was a dead end without a turbo swap.

 

what have i missed, i been working and ****, and i work all week so its hard for me to check the forums, lemme know whats been going on

 

thank you i just have to be careful on the cutting, i made 1 small mistake and dont want to make another, rome wasnt built n a day, i want to get this car really light, i wish it was like my parts go getter car crx which weighs 1700pds.

 

What's your weight goal?

 

weight goal somewhere around 2000pds with motor n driver

 

lol... dave, did you ever see caseys car gutted? we spent ALOT of time gutting and cutting that thing... the tar was a bitch! even w/ the blow torch!

 

with cage and everything my car was 2,200 pounds. I know there was more I could have cut. I think I could have gotten down to 2,100 but 2,000 would have been a little more dificult.

the tar was easy, just time consuming and stunk like ****.

 

yeah that tar is kickin me n the butt, theres alot of it, i thought it was just on the bottom of the floor not on firewall too that metal on the side is really hard to cut, i just have to take my time

 

yeah i did see his car and man that caging was sweet, great job i was to go chromoly for it, alil more expensive but saves on the weight

 

Ahhhhh... nothing says burnt oil and gas reaking up the neighborhood at 8pm like an emmissionsless rx7 that hasn't been started for 3 weeks. Looks like I'm playing hookie to go blow off some steam at GMR tommorrow. Anybody in? Seriously, who wants to call in sick and go to GMR tommorrow. pm me if interested and we can meet up.
Damon

 

i seriously would, and wish i could... but need the $$$$ right now, and my car needs to get fixed!



on a lighter note... i have swindled all my relatives to go in on 1 big present for me i got all my 3" silicone couplers and 18 t-bolts for my car.... so ill be able to boost....... sometime..... in the future.......as soon as i get out of this financial hole im in! christmas time is a nightmare for me... i had to sell my 87 turbo2 an hour ago just to get my rent money that was due on the 1st.. what a crock!

 

next time you guys do tar removal, go down to home depot and get a gallon of acetone and a big chunk of dry ice. i think the liquid gets somewhere around ~60*<0 or so... it'll freeze that ****, then you just shatter it with a hammer and chisel. piece of cake.

 

Sorry to hear that Jesse. I'm sure things are going to start looking up for you in the near future.

 

Just got back. GMR kicks major ****!
