Okay heres the deal, everything on the mini swap is done, ecu wired, head and intake on, all wires re wired and conncected, but we have hoses in the wrong spot, im burning coolant and pooring out white smoke, and it has a differentiating idle from like 1k to 2k rpms. can any one help me out, maybe send me a picture of how your d16y8 intake manny hose connections are or maybe some 1 has a diagram. thanks in advance.

you didnt clean off the block and head good enough before you put your new head gasket on. i jut went through this on mine. is your coolant resivour bubbling? white smoke means your burning coolant. sorry man

It bubbles then the collant goes down from the radiator. Can ok get someones number and call u LOL

head gasket didnt seal im 100% sure. get a new one and start tearing the motor back down.

Are you sure i'm not just sucking coolant on from a vacum line

j0keefe21

positive your coolant reservoir wouldn't be bubbling. did you even clean your block?

Improper headgasket seal +2. Tear it back down and get a straight edge and some feeler gauges and make sure the block and head are straight

The resivoir isn't bubbleing. The radiator is but I think that's normal.

j0keefe21

well unless you have a coolant line running right into your IM thats your problem. and i dont think its sopposed to bubble.

j0keefe21

there's not supposed to be air in your coolant system it will cause erratic idle. so i don't think the radiator should bubble

okay i fixed the idle, i forgot to plug up the ps vacum line cause i dont have ps. then i had bought another intake manifold with all the sensors on it but it didnt match the head. so i just swapped all the sensors to the intake manifold that came with the head and no more smoke...untilll i give it a little gas. now i am getting bubbles from my resivior, so what would you recomend me do to clean the head and block before i put on my head gasket
