We were street tuning my car last night @ 10 psi, and on the freeway, after we hit 10 psi, the radiator hose, ripped off, lucky for me, i had a screw driver in my glove and my old radiator in the back
it's a Ful Radiator and a Good Push Fan, both work, when we put it back it, it was fine, when we idle it, but the hoses are like pressurized? They are very hard
at idle it stay below 1/2 about 1/4
only does it when i boost

what could be wrong, my tuner and my engine builder, think it's the head gasket, but the motor has 38 miles on it
****.

 

if it was the head gasket your overflow bottle would fill up really quick. If the boost gets to your coolant system like it was always doing on my D16 before I change my block for a Benson.

It could be an overheating issue ? no ?

 

the heat stays low tho
im stumped

 

ya, at idel the hoses are like hard as hell both
im using screw clamps on them as well now, but the temp stays low under 1/2 and about 1/4 low area

 

but there is no oil in the overfull
the plugs are great
ARP headstuds torqued to 72

 

Ya, my headgasket didn't like my car anymore, it's blown, fixing it and retorquin the arps to 80 this time
it will be up and runing soon

BTW MADE PROPS to Redzone Performance for my motor, it's comin out so sick

 

Word !!

rz

your cars gonna be a monster.... bay area watch out

 

must be the killer turbo kit

 

mebbe if you're good ill hook u up with one of these

 

dang so it was the hg all along,

I was thinking to myself,
how the **** would a rad hose BLOW off in the first place!?!?

how much power r u running? approximately?

 

were u tuning it urself?

thats one thing that scares me about tuning,
I want to learn all of this, but I know a bad tune is the #1 thing that blows stuff up.. and theres gotta be a point while tuning where ur not at that good tune point yet.. so thats scary.

I remember watching jeremy/brandon tune my car, they took it step by step very cautiously,
ended up with a good safe setup!

 

J and B said the car runs very similar to another customer of min's cars which is at 305 WHP at 10 psi

so i would say alex is aroudn 260+
