I bought a manifold off some dude on myspace
like a month ago...now that im off vacation
i decided to slap it in...
Heres my question...Do auto parts store sell
parts/accessories of the skunk2 manifold??

looks like a lil pipe for the water jacket on the head

 

its for my sohc zc vtec

 

bump

 

anyone

 

patience, my son.

are you saying that the skunk2 mani that you bought doesn't have that pipe? i don't know about cali, but no auto parts store here in ohio sells skunk2. also, that flange in your pic looks totally different than the flange in the other pic.

 

but basically its the same piece.....
its like a lil metal pipe....
i think im gonna have to customize.....

 

customize what? does the hole not line up right? is it missing the pipe?

 

oh.....
yea its missing the pipe....thats what
need....
just the lil pipe.....
everything else bolts up fine..

 

You should be able to tap that hole with a 3/8" NPT and then buy a brass fitting to screw in and attach your water line.

 

hey...i put the manifold on today...i mean rite
now...it starts reving hella high.....like 3-4k
is it because i didnt use a manifold gasket?

probably yes

 

do u know what else
it could possibly be?

 

Go get a manifold gasket. If there is a leak around the manifold it isn't going to idle right. Why would you try to put it on w/o a gasket?

 

you need a barbed brass fitting,its a rad fluid bypass to the head so you don't want it to leak,use some loctite when you put it in

 

Why the hell wouldn't you use a manifold gasket?

Put it on, there's an air leak.

 

okay i put a manifold gasket....
and sealant .....
it still does the same shiet....

i bought some carb cleaner and
sprayed it around the manifold
and there was no leaks.....
any other possiblities?
i tryed switching up the MAP
and still does the same...
i think im going to try
and go obd0 again and see if it changes....

 

sounds....
good....

 

i was reading on some searches
that it could be the EACV and or
i have bubbles in radiator or some
shiet like that..
can anyone back this up ???

 

whats the coolant level screw?
is it the one on the radiator?

 

hey could it be
my injectors???
running obd1 no box

 

well i tryed different
injectors but got the same
results...

this time i disconnected my
eacv and reving stayed constant
wasnt jumping up and down...

expletive...well ill try again tomorrow

 

Did you bleed the air out of the coolant ?

You need to slow down and read up a little.

Check engine light on ? Was this doing it before you did the manifold swap ?

Seriously man...

 

seriously, put down the wrench and stop trying to do things before you understand whats going on. take your car to someone who knows what they are doing and read up before you attempt anything else. im not trying to be mean, but its the brutal truth man...

 

so how do u bleed the air out of
the coolant?

the only CEL code is 9...which came up after i converted to obd1..
but my car still ran....
before putting on my skunk2 manifold it would only rev up
to like 2.5k then when it got warmed up it go back down
to normal........

ill search on how to bleed the coolant....
i update tomorrow....
