Re: Install Day 14 (Pg 19) Hood is Cut - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
It's a BX out here (all AF bases in the UK), and I only shop there if I have to. They stock crap, most of the time the prices suck, over here they're always out of stock of the only thing you need, and they're usually filled with the 300-pound, mumu-wearing frigates who know everyone that lives on base, that are your typical military wives. Needless to say, I only go there once a month if its absolutely necessary.
But something like this I didn't want to trust to the chimps who work at our Post Office.

Re: Install Day 14 (Pg 19) Hood is Cut - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
I'm ex Air Force got out after four years I think I would have been better suited
for the army o well thats water under the bridge now.
So speedfoos your in the army and based at an AFB sounds like you lucked out to me I always thought AFB's had the better facilities than the army.
So let me guess your based at Alconbury?

Re: Install Day 14 (Pg 19) Hood is Cut - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
Close! Well, what with the whole tri-base clusterfuck they have here, I actually work at Molesworth, but yeah Alconbury is the main support base. I've been stationed at one Army base so far in my 10 years of service and that was in Germany. And you're right, the AF bases are always much nicer than our trailer parks.
On to a minor update. Looks like my lower radiator hose presses up a bit too much against the IC pipe that comes right off the turbo. I came out this morning to a puddle of coolant on the garage floor. No really, this is fun....
So I ordered a 90 degree silicone coupler to try and re-route the lower hose so I can get a good seal and not leak. It should be here Tuesday or Wednesday since I got it off ebay.co.uk.

Re: Install Day 14 (Pg 19) Hood is Cut - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
Speedfoos, i had trouble with my upper radiator hose, it was pinching because of the wastegate and the location. I ran to Advance Auto Parts, got a flex hose with the metal coils inside of it, now it's alllll better.
Re: Install Day 14 (Pg 19) Hood is Cut - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
Damn! Molesworth was my second guess

Re: Install Day 14 (Pg 19) Hood is Cut - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
IDEA!!! ..........ok so you know how my coolant won't recirculate back into my overflow.....well my bottom hose is also rubbing on my lower piping. (squised aswell) Maybe this is why when the cooling system cools it does not pull coolant back in.......a hickup in the flow???
I've run out of good ideas...
-New Cap
-No HC's in coolant
-Boroscoped cylinders
-Pressure tested cooling system to 21 psi
-Does not burn coolant.

Re: Install Day 14 (Pg 19) Hood is Cut - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
Well Drew, there's the problem. I don't have an Advance Auto Parts I can just pop into and pick out what I need. I have Halford's and they pretty much suck unless I want a full set of neons and a bicycle pump. This $20 elbow I just ordered should do the trick, if not I'll scout out a flex hose like you got.
FoSho, that's exactly your problem. With the lower hose - which is the inlet hose on the block - being pinched, your coolant is backing up, hence it all dumping back in to your reservoir. Our little pump just can't push it past a pinched hose so it vurps back into the reservoir.
Yes I want this bitch boosted and running! We had a little car club BBQ today and I wished my 'vic was there sooooo bad. Everyone was geeking out over their cars and all I could do was talk about mine. It was awful......wait a minute......it was kind of like......a web forum.

Re: Install Day 14 (Pg 19) Hood is Cut - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
Well speedfoos if your hose doesn't work let me know, i'll get some sizes and lengths for ya, send me the money and i'll send ya a hose. Just a thought, just let me know, this hoses bends pretty well and doesn't kink up.
Re: Install Day 14 (Pg 19) Hood is Cut - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
ok well I' m gonna rig that hose and see what happens....that will have to wait..
I encountered a 2001-02 ish z28 camaro with exhaust and blah blah....long story short I blew his f**king doors off.....during the process I blew my third gear out (just grinds until you slam it in,yes clutch is fully depressed) and the bolts for my downpipe worked themselves loose..so, now I have a hell of an exhaust leak. I was able to get to all the bolts but the bottom stud that you can barely fit anyways!! So, tomorrow I gotta pull my entire turbo/manifold assembly to retightened one frickin bolt!!!
Aren't turbo cars fun!!!!! haha
p.s new transmission is on the way...this time will be going with stock clutch & act pressure plate w/ stock flywheel!
