So after installing my aerocatch pins I wanted to add my thermostat so I could have heat this winter.

After install the car over heated about 2 times while trying to work the air out. Thermostat wasn't opening and seems the car blew a head gasket.

So the times come to build another motor. Pretty fuckin pissed about it.

I'll add pictures and info once I hear back from the machine shop.

It needs pistons at least because the ones i have are pretty bad off. And they weren't a full skirt type piston. They were a 1/2 skirt or less. Which really aren't supposed to see boost anyways.

Overheated meaning hit 240+ ECT at idle while trying to burp the coolant system? I did that on my car... still runs fine, no coolant issues. I had it at 255* before I shut the car off when I saw my guage on my laptop pegged out. Went and drag raced it to get booted from the track after that. lol

There's no load at idle, I'd be surprised if it ruined the HG or anything at all.

yea its hard to understand that. I have also battled issues with overheating and stuff and to blow a headgasket while idling is crazy!!!

You very well may be right. But I didn't like what I saw when I removed my oil cap. I have yet to yank the vc off and or drop the pan. Dip stick oil looked ok I guess. It is just a pain in my ass that just simply wanting to install a thermostat has caused me such issue. I have done several motors in cars and never had such an issue with the cooling system as I am with this dumb ass stock k24.

Do you have any idea as to why the radiator would be constantly spitting out large amounts of coolant while idling?

I took a boiled the thermostat to see it it opens and it for sure did. But I don't understand why my lower hose stayed cold.

Either way the sleeved blocks getting done and boost is soon to be back in full effect. But to have a properly running spare would be nice.

K series motors suck to burp the coolant system -- I've had my mech buddy (k20z3allmotor) tell me he's had to take a heat gun to the thermo housing to get the thermo to open and get all the air out.

Personally I go through this crazy cycle every time I do something with the coolant system on my car -- fill the radiator, won't take more coolant, start car, 20 seconds later ECT at the head hits 230, turn car off. It settles, add tons more coolant, start car, and it sits there at like 210-220 ect forever... and damn thermo wouldn't open.

This motor is weird... 220 at the head doesn't necessarily mean you're at 220 at the thermo... lol

And yes, even when it gets to a stable temp at like 190-200, the radiator will just gush out tons of coolant. You need the no spill filler shit for the radiator my mech buddy uses to burp the coolant system. I always deal with spill clean ups cause I'm too lazy to find a place that sells it... heh

Ok well the head gaskets not blown. Pre mature diagnosis in full effect. I apologize. The thermostat however must be defective.

I will eventually get another one but I'm going to get it from Acura.

Thankfully its not blown. Keep us updated, and I really want to see how those quick releases look when installed! Take some extra pics or a vid during the thermo swap if you don't mind. Good info to have

Whats the main difference between an oem thermo and aftermarket? Aside from the high standards of oem quality. For example, many aftermarket oil filters have plastic internals vs metal internals on an oem one.

I think the spring pressure could be off and also the temp at which the wax melts to allow the thermostat to open (I believe it's wax) don't really remember.

Adam are you jacking the car way up in the front as high as you can ? I also found that it helps if you fill the block first and the rad as much as possible .I usually pull the top hose at block loosen it at the rad and turn it upward ,take a 90 degree formed hose and put it on the top fitting where the top hose hooks to the block and fill the block , Make sure the rad is full as possible also .Then remove the 90 degree hose form the block ,fill he top rad hose then quickly turn it downward and install it on the top barb at the block .Then I bought a generic funnel at wal mart or somewhere nothing special about it and put it in the fill neck of my radiator and it fits snug enough to fill it with coolant as well (depending on your rad you may have to hacksaw the funnel / make it shorter where its bigger for a tight fit)and start the engine and let it run .Meanwhile watch the temp the laptop and this method seems to work perfectly for me the engine will generally go to 200+ and bubbles will continue to come up in funnel and level may rise a bit but leave it in there let it idle and top it off when done and like I said this works perfectly for me and God knows I have had my z1 apart a few times lol hope you get it purged of all the air and get back on the road man .Oh and btw OEM t stat is all I will use F... aftermarket junk

Thanks for the info mark. When I put the thermostat in is when I had the issues. Took it out and issues are gone.

I did pull the hose off the rad from the head and fill it with coolant then rad ect. Lower hose just would not hear up.

But it's all good. I'm getting the sleeved motor rebuilt AGAIN. and I won't be running a thermostat with the new cooling system setup I'm going with this time around.

How's yours coming along man?

It's coming along pretty well now currently setting up my fuel system not sure I wanna use the FCS fuel cell or not as its only 5 gallons but looks like that's what I am gonna do which will suck for the street but hell I seldom drive very far anyway .I've been out there the past few hours looking at the set up and just how I wanna set it up , run the lines , gotta fab up something for my 044 s to properly secure them to the under carriage in the dual hanger as I don't wanna have to worry about them and want the filters easily accessible as well .I got a lot of time in this thing and want it to be 100 % when I am done as I don't wanna have to fool with it any more than needed when completed.

you shouldve gotten them to weld the bungs at different spots so you could mount it were the battery goes.

you probably still could place it were the battery is. If you flipped the can 180 and had the sheepey logo face the firewall,i think you'de still have some room to run the AN fittigns. Relocate the battery to the trunk with a nice wilson alluminum battery box :)

I bought the can with the intentions of putting it there and had sheepey move the bungs so I could run it there. A main reason for this is the fact that being a supercharged car, I don't have a nice sidewinder to fill that space. I just have a plain view to the trans and clutter that's there.

Xcessive k20a series manifold. I sure hope their centerfeeds are finished better then what I received.

The holes for the injectors are rough. Like if I were to stick mine in there the o-ring would probably get chewed up and not seal. It's actually pretty upsetting with the condition they feel they can deliver. Definitely not a good word coming from me as for recommending it to anyone. At least not unmodified like I'm doing.

The car will no longer run with the stock k24 that's in it now. The sleeved motor is only weeks away from completion so as soon as its done the swap will commence.

New fuel rail, hoses and fittings came in. So as soon as my manifold is finalized I can start putting it together.

Yup. That's the new electric water pump I'm going to be running. It's got a controller that regulated the temperature of the coolant within 5 degrees. It's freakin boss. I would have gotten the ktuned water pump but my blower is where the alt goes in that kit. So this is the alternative and is more reliable and controlled then theirs.

Thanks on the rail. I love it man. I got all giggity when it came in!

So why did you need a new water pump and why did you have to cut up your original? Not trying to bash, genuinely curious. Also what re the specs on the motor? Bore? C/r?

PetefromtheStreets

Wow very interesting never seen one like it.

Yea man. It's a pretty neat design. Mounts in between the lower rad hose as low as you can get it. And comes with its own temperature sensor and fan relay switch wire ect. Pumps coolant from the rad through the motor and back around again. As engine temps rise it flows more fluid to keep it within that 5 degree range.



So why did you need a new water pump and why did you have to cut up your original? Not trying to bash, genuinely curious. Also what re the specs on the motor? Bore? C/r?

I wasn't getting enough cooling from the rad and fan I have and thats a part of the reason my least motor didnt last. so in addition to those I am adding this pump in an effort to overkill the system and allow better control of coolant temps. ALSO this pump continues to run while the cars off to ensure the motors cooled down. Essentially like a turbo time for coolant. And you cut up the original to cut down on the parasitic drag from it trying to act as a pump. Now pretty much it's another idler pulley for me. I would try and make a block off plate for the side of the water housing but I need that pulley for additional belt wrap on my blower pulley.

I've received and installed the ktuned ep3 adjustable idler pulley. I really like it. The kit came with the pulley/bracket, belt and new bolts.

The belt eliminated the ac compressor so you have the option to pull that off. For now while the car is all motor it's nice because with my new IM I am forced to pull the power steering pump off.

The kit allowed me to have proper belt tension and as the belt stretches you can just re adjust the pulley and get it back to spec.

Well, that is why there is a system of tenure in place to protect teachers from the principals that are out of control. But with the IB Program and other things in the "name" of the students but an easy excuse just to take away all tenure from all teachers and with a shortfall of cash in the system (who knows where all that money goes....hmmmm) they have to do something and their answer is to get rid of the experienced teachers and pay the younger ones half of what they pay the experienced teachers. Water down the system, dummy down the classes and play polls and statistics games that make those that made these decisions look good for "improving" the schools. Any way that is my story and not about cars... lol Sooooooo

Yea my work out was intense pushing the full weight plus cage car up and down hills for 2 miles. Lol. I'm not big on body work. Meaning I have no experience with it.

Update.... After tearing the trans out twice it was meant to be that I throw the blower back on the car so I am. It will be street tune for now and I'll be cruising around at partial throttles because I'm afraid the stock rods will buckle at 20+psi, ~550whp. The only other way to get around that would be to add a wastegate to my charge piping and I just don't have the money for all that as of now since I've out it all into my new motor. So cruising for a while it is. At least I'll be able to enjoy the sounds and car for a while without it braking.

On to a few pics....

Had to do a little work to the charge pipe that my BOV is on. With a centrifugal sc your constantly forcing air so it's always in use. And it's more important for the BOV to be fully operable on a SC then a turbo because while turbos can have a little compressor surge and the turbo will survive ( I understand it still not good) but for a sc if the impeller tries to spin backwards, it can't it's belt operated. And I have a video of what it will do to your blower. I'll post here shortly from my blower back in april 2010.

If your clutch is fully disengaged and your pedal still has room to travel then id think it needs a pedal stop. (You dont want to over extend your pressure plate and out that much more pressure on the crank. I know its mainly twin disc users that run a pedal stop.

Ya I just have an FX350, and I adjusted it so it would move as much fluid as possible to get the clutch to disengage as much as possible. I know the clutch master clutches advertise they have easy pressure plates, hopefully I'm OK because I like that I am disengaging the clutch more now, the shifts are smoother.

The head I had ported is finished now. It's a mild port job. Slight reshaping of the bowl ect. Exhaust ports weren't touched except for the short turn. Here's what I have for now as pics go. Valves are Manley race spec valves oversized +1mm intake only. Custom seat angles and shapes for better flow around the valve.

What I'm saying is that I tried without luck to burp the system, all in vain. So I took it back to shop, they did a leakdown test. Drilled holes in thermostat, used a different tool to burp the system a vacuum hose attached and got all all of the air out yet cat still overheated. So, I am going to blow this car up for real. How frustrating that it's been nothing but trouble. I can't believe it can be that difficult.

Damn didn't see this till now for some reason.

Cars got the 2.9 DSS axles now. I that problem is fixed. However the car is leaking trans fluid still. This piece of shit OBX is driving me insane. It won't lock the drivers axle into place so it pulls out some.

The whole underside of my car is oil soaked and I smell burning oil ALL the time.

Looks like it's time to throw that POS away and get a Quaife or wavetrack LSD.

On another note I got my Carbon Fiber diffusers in the mail last week and installed one. Yes one. Lol my son came into the garage numerous times to ask if I was done so once I finished the one I decoded it was family time over diffuser time. So I'm ghetto fabulous till the next one goes on.

Have you ever looked into MFactory LSDs? They are comparable to the quaifes and wavetracs, but not quite as expensive, like $650 or so.

Yea I had heard of them but then I heard of ppl not being able to get their axles back out once they were in. I've just got too much invested into this build to keep cheating myself on getting half up to par equipment. The saying "do it once do it right" hasn't been put into full effect on this car at all. I've cut too many corners and redone too many things and now I'm left with a dull knife if you will...

I will however do more research instead of taking a few stories as my definitive opinion on them.

And these diffusers are to keep the rear bumper from acting like a parachute while your racing or just even driving. Thats why all the cars in CT, NY, and NJ all either half no rear bumper or they have cut the ever living shit out of it.

a friend of mine (mike dao) not on here but he had the quaife on his rsx and needed money so he sold it and went back to the type r lsd basically oem, and to this day he wishes he never sold it. im sure you would be able to notice a decent difference from oem to the quaife.

There is a vast difference between the OEM LSD and a Quaife. However, that doesn't take anything away from the OEM LSD. If anything, we should praise how well the OEM one holds up! Now imagine how much better Quaife is. ;)

Ok, well that's good to know, I'll have to weigh my options, but from what I've read, the mfactory is just as good, and about $300 cheaper, will have to do more research.

Went to the track tonight. First pass 12.1 @ 113mph bogged HARD on the launch 1.7 60ft still. Got to the end to turn around and my axle wouldn't stay in the trans. Pulled back to the pits to fix it got it straight and as I was turning into the staging lanes axle Pops back out!! So I called it a night. Anyways here are a couple pics and vids.

Support is truly an amazing thing. Thank you for spreading awareness and supporting cancer research.

Track situation was unfortunate, but hey nothing broke - just need a new diff and you're good to go!

After a couple weeks, I've gotten to take a look at the car. I was a little shocked to see what had broken.

My brand new 500whp axle broke at the outter cv. Sending it out tomorrow back to DSS to see what they have to say.
