Thanks for the response. I know its a risk however I wouldn't consider it a complete loss if say I get the motor in the car and there's a problem and say I need to repull and do a rebuild of the bottom end or something like that. I guess I'd be interested in what price number you guys feel...

Hey guys looking for some opinions/advice. I have a garage car that I drive less than 1000 miles a year and i'm going to be building the motor and going turbo here in the next few months. I was about ready to buy my internals when I ran across this on local craigslist...

Ok so after about 5 hours of adjustments to try to get my jeep TB working i'm almost there. I added the second spring as alot of people have done. However when i hit the gas peddle medium/hard force the car shudders and almost dies before it revs up. I have to VERY gently apply thottle in...

I took apart my whole intake and coolant system to rebuild and modify and that was a month ago and I have 2 pieces I don't know what they are...First, trying to figure out what this bracket is I think it was around the battery area but can't remember.Second, is this tube. I know it used to...

Ok so last question still waiting on the last lower hose to arrive at Napa. I need to connect 2 rad hoses together bit the parts store didn't have a small enough exhaust pipe to seam the hoses together. In the write up bullet uses a cut off piece of water pipe but I dont have any. Any...

Ok I'll grab another fan thanks for the tip makes sense on why.

Ok good to know as i said the 4g63 guys have alot of info but na guys not much. I guess i will go single fan and 195 tstat and see if it goes hot under ac i will try 180 tstat first and if still bad add a second fan. U turbo guys can run ALOT hotter engine bays then us na guys

Yes I know all that what i'm saying is with a smaller rad and less capacity might it not be better for me to run a 180 t stat vs the stock or recommended 195 because in case i get into a situation where i'm exceeding the cooling capacity of the rad i'm averaging closer to the 180* vs. the 195*...

Good to know but don't you 4g63 guys run 180* thermo's?

Ok so cant find much on this topic for the 420a. Doing a cooling system rebuild on my car getting most of the parts replaced or fixed. I am doing a Honda Half Radiator with a single slim fan. This is not my DD it is a garage queen that I just drive in the summer on the weekends maybe 500-1000...

I'm rebuilding/repainting the entire coolant system so every gasket, hose, and clamp is brand new.

Thanks. Must have looked at that SOB for an hour trying to figure it out. Just went back out to the garage after reading your post and found the mount in half a second. couldn't see it under the pipe haha.

Ok i have searched and cant firgure it out. Doing a little painting and cleaning in the engine bay. The hard pipe that comes out of the water pump can it be removed without pullling the water pump? I just want to pull it paint it and put a new o ring in but cannot figure out how to pull it and...

Huge difference with the raammat. Its more than worth doing. Its a 12" sub, i usually prefer 10's but the size of the sub doesn't matter as much as the total surface area of the sub(s) is what is louder and deeper the bigger the surface area. I wanted just one 10 but this is a fantastic sub...

why not just do it yourself for a fraction of the cost? Huge difference in the sound deadening. But i have it on the outside skins and over the interior as well, roof doors hatch behind the dash, floor, everywhere there some. Its a single 12". I prefer 10's personally but if your box it...
