i have a zc vtec sohc engine

i was driving like 4 months and it sucked water since then is making some wierd noise in the head like a valve is bent or somethin like that i still drive the car

now i installed a turbo kit on it and a lot of water is coming from the intercooler pipes

the car never got heated

i got a drag manifold
xs power wastegate
intercooler and pipes
greddy type s bov
dsm 450cc injectors with resistor box
p28 with crome gold (not tuned yet just chipped)

when i turn on the car it idles high almost 1 then i step on the gas and it chocks a little then white smokes come from the exhaust


what should i do should i get a new head and new hg? what gasket should i go for?

 

wow.

 

Do a compression check, if that is good do a leak down, between those two you should find your problem. also if your turbo is water cooled you may have a leaky seal in it. check the oil in your oil pan to see if there is water in it.

 

the turbo is not water cooled the turbo is a t3 from airresearch

 

OEM headgasket and a rebuild of the head.

but like said before leakdown and cp test

 

how are you getting water in your intercooler pipes??

the reason for the car idling and reacting weird is more thank likely your basemap. Basemaps are basically for starting the car until it gets tuned

 

post a video of the noise in the head. If it's a tick, you might just have to redo your exhaust manifold gasket. It might be worth checking your iacv and fitv. You might just have to tighten the fitv or check the tps for your idle issue.

 

ima call some shops tomorrow but i might have to buy me one because my car is not drivable thanks guys
