It is weird, I mean it worked fine, just seams weird. lol Thanks for the info. makes me feel better.

 

ill keep you updated on mine. i firmly believe its the pressure plate at this point. halfway through this season i plan on swapping clutches.

 

So your building V8 drift and VQ35 drift engines?

 

I am building the v8 to go in later this year. but need power the first part of the season so going to be boosted till i get to the v8 point.

 

Waiting for the anime wrap!

 

HAHA In due time!

So running these water lines has been a bitch. I have the back of 1 done and the other back is almost done, The front I figured out how to run the return line, have to go above the transmission line up and over between the fire wall. There is other room but knowing I am going turbo soon I had to account for all that space being taken up. As for the feed line it is going to be a very very tight fit. Think I am going to en up ceramic coating the water lines then wrapping in DEI wrap.

 

Why heat wrap the water lines?

 

Running so close to the exhaust I am worried about the lines getting hot and the system not cooling as well as it should.

Well I feel like I am doing a lot of work, and then I look at how much I get done and like WTF..... Not much. haha I am working on customers stuff at the same time also though. So up to this point.

 

Are you tig welding the water lines? How are you checking for leaks or are you waiting till it is all in?

 

Yes I am tig welding all the welds, so they better not leak. lol I am going to pressure test the lines before I drive the car.

 

Amazing build, want to get one started soon

 

Thanks,Think I might finally get to start the car tomorrow! just need to secure the lines good flush them out and then test them out!

still need to ceramic coat the lines and then wrap in DEI wrap, but that's it.

 

So what was ur reasoning for the rear mounted radiator ?

 

Since I drift, when sliding sideways does not get good airflow over the radiator. Also being that we get so close a lot of times you hit the front of the car. Last event they wanted us to go 1 more time, but i had ripped my lower radiator line off and was going to take to long to refill and bleed my system. I am also running air duct from the back small windows to the radiator in trunk. That's will give air to the radiator when sideways. It also cools better in general. You have much more coolent and you don't have it under a compact hood with an engine.

 

Just a fast update, I got the radiator mounted today and all the lines back on. Also started putting the front of the car back on. Hoping I can drive it this sunday!
