i dont think he f**ked anything else, just the radiator.

Jarad, An over pressurised cooling system is a sign of head gasket failure. pressurised combustion gasses etc getting into the cooling system.

or it's because he had a cheap china radiator in it.

they have been know to fail.

but it looks like it was stock.

[Ruxis]

ah right, i thought he meant 22 psi through the turbos? like he was running full boost and it f**ked up?

hah i must of missed that

[tweety bird]

stop sulking tee tee and tell us what happened!!!

Yeah i'm guessing he did, but radiator's don't blow themselves up!!!! plus the combustion pressure will be alot higher then 22psi.

FYP :-)

no way 30! if it has done the HG, its only done it because its made the head studsa little longer.... New HG, ARP fittings, strap it down again and enjoy.

might have just been a brittle old top tank. I've had one crack before.

Yeah I've had a tank crack but never blow apart

But agree with the studs comment

Hey J-Rad

How long before you're riding like these guys?

haha not even gunna try that shit

[GTR-34A]

next cruise?

end point is about 116km from beresfield at the old truck stop, and could probably have lunch back in singleton area or something?

[Ruxis]

Sounds good to me! post her up

[GTR-34A]

Yea will do it when I have some time, probably tomorrow or Wednesday. Save the 17th next month though.

17th i can do

yay

[Ruxis]

Cool!!!

[34GeeTeeTee]

How did it get that much pressure in there?

H/G?

Yeah its possible, very hot day and pushed it hard..... But will get another Radiator and test it before i worry too much.

And ill be staying stock NEO, they are a tough bit of gear.... Mines been limiter bashed, leaned out and cooked and it keeps making healthy power even with 145k's but if the HG is gone then i certainly cant get upset as it was pushed pretty damn hard for a factory part lol

Sure is.... But not to say that was the issue yet

Stock radiator man! Temps were fine on the dyno even on a 42 degree day...... There is another issue and it could be HG or stuck thermostat etc etc

stop sulking tee tee and tell us what happened!!!

LOL no sulking, Coz Racecar..... Cruising along, Haltech drops into protection mode to make me stop, temp gauge is spot on..... Stopped and temp guage started climbing fast..... Pulled over and lifted bonnet then 5-10 seconds later once the pressure built up and the cooling sys super heated the tank split and made my engine bay nice and white..... So the tank only let go once it pressurised which is a good sign BUT it didnt loose much coolant which is the confusing part as to why it ran hot all of a sudden, the Haltech picked up the temp rise and dropped into limp mode to protect the car, the stock guage is usless and still said everything was good lol

Nope the Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate was that morning, i was just light cruise when the issue occured

[T4NK]

Just take it to Jez, he will sort the bitch out.

[wedge_r34gtr]

well it's 40deg and i've just spent the the last 2 hours "walking the belts" (lots of steps and steep inclines) at work

I'm stuffed ...need to get fit

10min break then i'm back out there again
