Bigfoot
18-06-2009, 15:43
I know what roughly mine will run, well should be just above what it got on tuesday, not sure if ill run still or not, depending on money really and how much its going to be for the rollers.

R5GTTRaider
18-06-2009, 17:45
well bigfoot, you know what to do, get driving and clock them miles,
hopefully but not setting my heart on it,
around the 130 figure but not sure, all i got is a flowed i/c. 15psi soon to be 18 if i get this sodding t3 acuater sorted and a 2,5" scorp apart from that nothing else.:cry:

FurioKid
18-06-2009, 18:53
Well i'd mainly like to make it for advice on mine with teething probs if i haven't sorted them lol

R5GTTRaider
18-06-2009, 21:55

If you still want me to have alook mate it'll be the perfect time as i'll be there too, i'll bring a few spares with me too just incase you need something.

FurioKid
18-06-2009, 23:06
cheers lads it'll be much appreciated, still not sure on my headgasket :confused: temp goes between the halfway and 3/4 mark and sits there, but i am running the fan constantly :disagree:

Bigfoot
18-06-2009, 23:11
If you dont run the rad fan when driving along does it keep getting hotter or does it stop rising after a while? Have you flushed the system out and put new coolant in, or maybe replaced the rad, always helps when running warm.

R5GTTRaider
18-06-2009, 23:18
i do mate, i find my temps 1st mark crusing off boost
motorway driving i hit just over the 2nd mark and have to be carfull,

if i dont run the rad fan at tick over it sits just under the 2nd mark and when driving the light would come on,

but

my rad is ****ed i have a meter long hose as my top hose as mine has burst

so i dont expect mine to run cool with that!

Gttnutter
18-06-2009, 23:45
i think i've a spare top rad hose.

and i think you'll be pushing just a smidgen more than 130 i reckon i'd say 140 odd

FurioKid
19-06-2009, 08:03
Yeah its got new coolant in it aswell as running an alloy rad with new silicone hoses. If i switch the fan off it still stays between 1/2 and 3/4 but in traffic or stopping it goes up

ah thats cool,well ill be pushing 18psi
it had 20 but the t2 was fluttering so i turnt it right back down to 14, as i need a boost controler but dont really like using them
any idea what acuater is easy to fit and hold 18psi

they do run hot full stop. thus why hg's popped all the time, but i think people have come to relise that its the coolent being the weak point and not the head gasket its self

but my rads cores have started to swell, plus its leaking so need to replace that before rr day

but got 6 weeks so not a prob

maintanance and care and you'll never pop a headgasket :agree:

Bigfoot
19-06-2009, 10:39
If you have got a OE set up, and made sure its all running correctly think the coolant temp will run just under the half way mark constantly and only rise when standstill

No. They run fine when in good order. Headgaskets pop mainly due to poor fueling.

19-06-2009, 13:15
Well mine gets upto the halfway mark very quickly then creeps up a lil more and fluctuates from there

Markey Mark (BD)

Do they!


Furiokid, does your header tank pressurize?

FurioKid
19-06-2009, 15:13
I'll check tonight when i get home and see, one thing i have noticed though is that coolant has been coming out the top of the bottle, so would say it is

Sy5GTT
19-06-2009, 15:27
Sounds like you've still got air in the system.

R5GTTRaider
19-06-2009, 15:42

im saying its a cause of.
hot engine induces det makes hg give!

Sounds like its gone to me, only has to go very slightly to start pressurising the water system

Markey Mark (BD)

Overheated engines warp the head which cause's the gasket to go, not come across one that has detted because the engine got hot only becuase the inlet charge is too hot.

ok guys
track and road cant do 25th BUT i have done it for the 8th august which is 2 weeks after that, so we now have a full 2 months
only thing he did say is he want £10 deposit down the week before, as you can image there busy, so ethier a mod who ever can take deposits at any time till the 1st august and then its £35 a head so £25 payable on the day

so for those wanting to go 100% please can a mod step in, or im happy to take the deposit via paypal and i will pay respectivly with a name and username down,

if a deposit is a problem then he said he cant fit us in as were lucky to get that

now the first run will start at 11am so no bright and eairly starts, but also gives not only others 8 weeks now, but my self that extra 2 weeks to get sorted and another acuater lined up

pm me any qestions

Bigfoot
19-06-2009, 17:21
I am happy to hold people money if required....

But i wont be there on the day & i will be in cyprus. :)

Would that be holding the money and spending it whilst at Cyprus :p

FurioKid
19-06-2009, 19:08

FurioKid
19-06-2009, 19:21
I know i've somewhat hijacked the thread and should've posted up in the technical boards............but as i'm here :laugh:, if i were to change the headgasket which is the best one to go for? might have got one tomoz if i can but it probably wouldn't be an uprated one, do you reckon that should be ok??

all help is really appreciated

R5GTTRaider
19-06-2009, 20:28
apprently oe reno ones are as good if not better then the claimed uprated ones,

a mls one would be the best!
