Ah hell give it to me. I'll slap it on my spare block with a MLS and boost it till it pops I've seen worse run on crap builds and they held up. I ain't scared

If it will turn over freely with the clutch petal pressed in but not out in nutral then yes something is not assymbled correctly in the trans

Why not use a hobbs switch so it activates at a pre set psi instead of a timer?

Y are you having to seam the hoses together. When I fitted mine. The lower hose worked fine. The upper hose needed a few inches cut off. My half rad is mounted on the pass side in front of the trans away from the turbo. Mounting wise I made a lower bracket that bolted up to the stock...

If you plan on retaining ac. Use 2 fans 1 for the radiator the the other for the condenser core. Just like the stock system zip ties work best for mounting them thru a few fins. Do not run the ac without a second fan. Bad things can happen to your ac system. Ie. Critical mass. :-)

You will most Def need a second fan for the ac to work properly. That's why there are two fans. 1 is for the engine the other is for the ac. Under normal driving only the engine fan kick on and off with coolant temp. But when the ac is on both fans turn on high and will run...

Yes. This has all been addressed before. Coolant capacity of a half rad is ruffly 1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon. Depending on if it's a 2 row or 3 row. The block will hold ruffly 3/4 of a gallon. So there is ample supply of cooler water to replace the hot water. Your climate location is not...

This is why tstat temps are 170-190 to begin with. If there where not made to run best at this temp you would not need a t stat at all?

You water temps will all ways be withing 20° high or low of your t stat temp. Fuel injected engines run best when at close to tstat temps

The t stat temp really don't matter. It's just the point it will open and release the hot water and draw in the cooled water It's if you can get air flow true the radiator to cool the hot back to cooler if you watch a scan tool u will see the water temp spike. Then start to drop. That...

I notice u said it was fine till it got extremely cold. Was the coolant freeze point good for the temps you had?

I run a half rad with slim fans on my 4g63t . 2 caps is fine. Just T the over flow line I do not have a ac system tho. Track and weekend play car only. So far I have had no issues with cooling. Will be switching to water only with water wetter in the next week for summer. Just...

Hahaha. Its not a pulley. Its a harmonic balancer. And that pulley is garbage for your rotating assy do some research before blowing money on parts.

Not a bad job. But a alignment will be needed after because of removing the outer tie rod ends make sure to mark the location of the tie rods prior to removal. Doing so will allow you to get alignment close enough to drive but not spot on. Not a bad time to replace other worn...

Best way to bleed air after a line pump or rack. Is to jack the front up. Both wheels off the ground fill the fluid. Engine off. Then turn the wheel lock to lock a few times check fluid and repeat till no more bubbles come up. Having air in the system on a start up immediately causes...
