  1. 1. Where is that slow leak coming from? A slow leak when the motor is off/cold is a bigger leak when it's hot and you're driving. Keep in mind, the coolant system is pressurized. Find and fix the leak! 2. Do you have the stock thermostat in there? I noticed this past weekend on my bone BONE stock 99 LX, my cruising temps were 189. High? Eh, not really because of the stock (185* t-stat), but with the tiny amount of coolant that's in your (any D-series) motor, and being that yours is boosted, it will heat it up pretty quickly. I would put a 160* thermostat in your car. Today. Best mod I've done yet for my LS1. 3. Yes, the intercooler will impede air flow to the radiator. Hard to fix without some major modification such as V-mount style, or side mount. What fan are you currently running? One of the most often overlooked but very important pieces on any coolant system is the fan shroud. You will GREATLY increase the efficiency of your fan/radiator by having a shroud. Hope that helps!
  2. Me too. It's all about throttle control. Dont be scared to bring it out! :bangbang:
  3. That looks like a standard 3-prong 120 electric plug.
  4. ^^Yup!! Best evar for bleeding coolant systems!
  5. If you change your mind, I have a Grade 65,728 bolt with Grade 8 washers. That's how I put mine on. Worked fine.
  6. Screw the stock Honda bleeder screws. They're a bunch of shit. Not even located at the top of the coolant system. Warm the car up to operating temp. CAREFULLY and with a rag, take the radiator cap off. Start squeezing the upper and lower radiator hoses. Sometimes the bubbles will get 'stuck' in those hoses, and it also helps to move the fluid around. Keep doing this and topping it off when it sucks the coolant back in. Repeat, repeat, repeat. With a stock single core radiator, there's seriously not that much coolant in that motor/hoses/radiator. I ran one of those eGay knockoff racing radiators in my built D16. Even at 24psi, I had no issues with cooling.
  7. Yeah. I would re-bleed again. I also had problems with my stock single core and it starting to overheat a little. I switched to just the dual core 94-97 Del Sol radiator, and it fixed it. So if you were to go to an aftermarket thick racing style radiator you'd be supa fine lol. Stock radiator on a turbo D-series is a bit small.
  8. I would fix the problem instead of putting a band-aid on it. You did the right thing by bleeding the air. That was my first suggestion. I usually start with the cheapest first if I'm unsure, but usually you can pinpoint what the problem is. What radiator do you have in there now? Stock single core? Or the Del Sol half size (width), but still dual core?
  9. +Eleventy billion. Not nutswinging. I don't care who said it. It's true. Not only is it him, but it's our system that's F-ed up for LETTING HIM DO THAT!! /rant
  10. Absolutely. Nothing like moving forward on an 18 month case. Good 'ol inter-agency busts. Lol.
  11. So apparently Cleveland had the largest grand theft auto bust ever for them. Bah, just read/watch the article below. Recognize these 9? Lol. http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/news/local_news/cleveland_metro/35-warrants-issued-in-cleveland-grand-theft-auto-bust-police-raid-west-side-homes
  12. I might be in. Ryan Scott has been talking me into this hardcore. Especially now since I just got the car done and driving. I was supposed to crew for him Sat/Sun, but I cant now because of drill with the AF.
  13. I have always disliked the Exelero. Not sure why, but I suspect the body lines and those hideous tail lights....among other things. Sure you can have bragging rights, but it's just not my style.
  14. (Truth)(10000000000000) = Mega truth.
  15. I don't get off till 12 but I'm game for whatever. Stir up some ricer shit lol.
  16. I dig. Let me know if you need help setting it up.
