Blake, your little car is badass! That thing is going to surprise a lot of people when you turn up the boost! Very impressive.

1. Does the Camaro WP flow a different direction?
2. Just to make sure, does the water flow out the upper hose into the radiator & back in from the lower hose?
3. Any other possibilities?
Thanks
1) They flow the same direction
2) Correct
3) What temp t-stat do you have? Throw the t-stat in a pot of boiling water and watch it to confirm it either is or isn't opening. You can get fancy if you want and put a candy thermometer in the water with the t-stat and let it come up to temp and see what temp it starts opening at. What are the details on your radiator and cooling fan?

That was FUN. Makes me want a fast turbo car (my commuter turbo diesel just isn't quite the same ).

Now I need a ride in Nicks insane 911 RWHP monster!

It says 186* on the t-stat box. I'll have to check on the fans & rad. They are from speedway. The fans are not wired up just yet, hopefully by the weekend.

I prefer tinypic.com then you just copy the [IMG] file and paste it in a thread. You can also use photobucket. If you use tinypic, you may need to shrink the size a little if you post on this forum because they can be pretty big.

Anybody on here work with or have connections to a good concrete contractor? Had to pull my vinyl deck out and found that the idiots laid the framing on the ground and it proceeded to collect 4 inches of water not to mention soaking the lumbar. NEEDLESS to say it's not going back in.

Anyone interested in Brock vinyl decking with channel clips,screws, and steel insert vinyl overlay railings hit me up, I will make you a good deal on it.

Will cover a 14'x20' area.


Thanks D.


Color of decking is light tan and railing is white.
