It's Begun

[otter]

Maybe it was because of the bleeding we had to do on the clutch?

Still gotta figure out the radiator and why I lost all that fluid. Gonna go poo and start working (again).


So tired of wasting all of my damn nights on this car. I just want to drive it.

Nah, we never let the brake fluid resevoir get low, so the brake system should've been unaffected.

Well. It's been fixored.

Thanks to Rob, my father, in-law, and co-worker for brain storming.

Co-Workers were trying to tell me my Turbo was bad. I felt like I was at AutoZone. My dad and I just started checking the basics - hoses and whatnot. In-Law gave the same type of info. Rob mentioned a thermostat being upsidedown.... Yeah, that was the culprit.

So all that's left:
3" Exhaust Gasket
Gauge Light (heat/fuel section out)
Bleed Brakes (again)
Re-Align lights/bumper
4-Wheel Alignment
New Rubber
Inner Fenders
Break-in

I win, where's my cookie?

I believe this is the last update for me. See OP.

Great to hear Mike! Sorry I have no cell battery right now. Its charging - didnt have my charger over TG.

We should meet up to log runs and make sure the tune is A.OK - and graph a hp/tq sheet to give you an idea of the power! Could you make it up here anytime? Scott you down?

Yo smike let me get in this logging stuff i need to check out my whip to see all the probs. thanks

[MikSchultzy]

IDK Mike. Next Saturday, Rob has dibs on me all day. If we did anything, it'd have be to through the middle of the week, and cleared with the gal.

PM me on your schedule, and I'll check with the lady to see if we have something going on. I should be getting my new rubbers this week as well. Atleast, I would hope so. I paid for the damn things on Wednesday.

I also asked for a Tactrix cable for x-mas. If it doesn't show, I'll be purchasing one on the 26th.

Mike,
I'm also available to help with some logging if you'd like. If you find yourself near Ann Arbor just give me a call.

i'm down but i work tues.- saturdays so it would have to be a sunday or monday event for me unless you want to do it at 9pm at night on the other nights when i get off work..lol

[SmikeEvo]

MikS - what are you doing Monday? What time are you off work? Could you drive up here and meet up with Scott and I?

Blon - what days do you have open? Maybe we could meet up on a week night or weekend?

[MikSchultzy]

I'll see what I've got going on. I usually get off at 5pm, but I've been getting off alittle early of late for lack of work.

I could probably be up in A2 around 6-6:15ish.

Thanks for being the first vehicle to fit up PPI's new MAF pipe. I have a new coupler, the other filter and clamp on the way for you. Ohhh that was funny lol. I will post some piqs later!

[MikSchultzy]

Uuuggggghhhhh

Something serious happened to the car (far as I am concerned), and I don't know what it is. I have an idea of where the issue originated from, but either way I've still gotta tear the damn thing apart, and I am not looking forward to it.

It happened somewhere on the back side of the engine, near cylinder 4. (rt side). It's something to do with cooling, and my injector. Either way, I've gotta tear that side down and figure out what's happened.

On the plus side, I figured out the Boost gauge (thanks Mike)

*sigh*

[SmikeEvo]

nothing more than little fix-its

[MikSchultzy]

I found out why the injector blew today. I looked closely at the injector, and found this:

(Sorry about bad quality)
