hey guys, not for a skyline, its for an 88 prelude. plastic end tank has sperated from core (i think, hard to see while its still in the car) and was wondering if there is any sort of adhesive or such that i can use to seal it up/join it back together. wanna spend as little as possible as its a cheap shit car. at the point sikaflex is topping the list but i dont like my chances hahhaha, i need something realistic

what do they use from the factory?

what would a radiator joint do if i took it to em? fix or replace?

what are my options bar replacing the damn thing?

cheers,

Ben

PS - i was gonna ring a radiator joint but got home too late and doubt they'll be open tmr, even so i'll be working passed their closing time.

try some loctite 587 or something, also known as ultra blue. then again a tube of that would probably cost as much as a radiator from the wreckers. Call around and see what they have. Maybe do some searches on the net to find what other car has the same radiator. Or even easier.. goto a radiator shop with radiator and just say i dno what this is out of its off my home made buggy but i need a replacement the exact size, then he will look in his book and tell u oh a vl commodore is the same.. etc.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
