Well, after having multiple overheating issues I sent the car back to futral.

Not exactly sure what the issue was, however he swapped out the water pump for an evans pump, bigger single fan and tore down the motor just to check and make sure everything was all good.

He said mechanically everything was fine and looked to be in prestine condition.

He did take out the condensor, but I can have a small one fabbed up and put in later.

He redynoed at 13.5 lbs of boost, numbers were 833/828 on pump gas with a conservative tune.

The car should be ready to be sent back by the end of next week, so Im looking forward to that.

Oh, and I had him dump my wastegates

Time to whoop on some liter bikes (ok, maybe not on pump gas, lol, but I'll try)

I cant wait to get it back and get on it again.

I thought your wastegates were already dumped/open?

Was there a marked decrease in temps? Why was it running so hot in the first place? Big turbo? Big intercooler?

Glad to see its on the road to whooping *** again. Hopefully the cooling issues have been taken care of.

While I did have to pay for shipping back out there and back home, he did not charge me for any of the labor, which id say is a fair trade.

I just wish it would have been figured out before it was originally sent out here, but what can you do.

If I remember correctly, he said that the afr heads were heat soaked due to the amount of heat the turbo produced, so it would just have boiling coolant flowing through the heads so it would never have a chance to cool off.

I think he mentioned coolant having a boiling point of 220 or 230 degrees.

With the evans water pump and coolant it boils around 380 degrees.

he said he was letting it idle forever and never got over 208*

Wastegates werent dumped before, they were ran into the exhuast.

He said it soundsl ike a freight train now

I like my WG dumped as well, wicked sound especially with the turbo whistling.

I think it was the combonation of the condensor in the way along with the coolant boiling. At least thats what I have put together based off the things Allan had mentioned.

Maybe he can chime in.

Probably not as I know he's workin his *** off, lol.

All I know is if I get the car back and its still over heating Im gonna go off the deep end

Cool i hope it fixed......

So that means no A/C for right now?????

Thats correct.

Unless I decide to have one fabbed up, but I'll just keep it out for now since I have another car to use as a DD.

I dont have the car back yet as he still needs to make some finishing touches on it, but Id be more then happy to take some pics of the engine bay when I get the car back.

Ya, I did race that Gixxer, but that was when I was down on power from a plug that wasnt connected fully (not sure on how much power I was down, but I could tell). Plus, I raced him in warmer weather, so Im thinking this setup will make over 850 if not more when its cold out come winter time.

All I know is once I get the car back, Ive got a few things to accomplish:

1. redyno here ( just to see how the numbers are affected from LA vs. AZ)
2. re-race that gixxer
3. find some 2jz's to play with.
4.profit.

Dont forget, my cars probably close to 4k lbs, so the liter bikes are harder to catch then you think.

cut some weight, good god thats heavy. i wonder what mine will weigh in at?

Ya, dont forget Ive got an iron block, 73 lb turbo, full interior, 2 12's with a big box, amps, etc...

I wonder how much of a difference racing from a roll makes at that weight at different speeds?

racing from a roll wont make as big of a difference as racing from a dig. your momentum is already going.

btw any updated numbers on 101 octane or is that in your sig?
