Well i couldnt for any reason get a picture of what has happened to me but I'm back under the knife again. short lived dream haha. directly under roughly 5 and 4 piston, the block has cracked on the intake manifold side. i was wondering if anyone has experienced this on the intake side? i know they are known to crack between the water jackets on the exhaust side but this seems stange. strange things and me is very normal tho soooo...... JB weld the crap out of it or what mates? it is creating the car to over heat thats how this problem arose. i always noticed a tiny coolant leak in my garage from the very first time i started this motor. i took my intake manifold off and resealed it because i thought i was leaking on one of my coolant ports in my manifold... after some abuse the leak has gotten worse. the rad seems to pressurize extremely quick. i really dont care to much about this motor anymore do you mates think i will have luck with jb weld or something and let her settle then send?

cant type

it doesnt leak unless the rad pressurizes fyi. once i had the car back together i started it for 5 seconds then quickly jumped out and shut it off to see the leak/crack. doesnt take long to start dripping like a average bloody nose.

 

Not having fixed one before my advice is invalid but if it was mine I would grind it back a bit with a die grinder and try and pack the JB Weld slightly into it a bit.  Let it dry, grind it back, squirt of paint and send it!

With a crack on the inlet side, the block is so much more likely to fail on the other side if you push the power levels much. So.....just hold your breath.

Got that right mate. Every time I start the car I hold my breathe. At first I thought it was my intake gasket so pulled that all off yesterday to do it again today to fix the crack. My rad seems to be pressurizing extemely quick is this normal? I started the car this morning from dead cold start for 4 seconds just to confirm the leak( needs a bit of pressure to leak) and my rad had pressure like mad after 4 seconds of running

This was the smalll crack. I feel like this wasn’t my over heating issues tho.  It would over heat extremely fast and rad seemed to pressurize way to quick when trying to bleed...

maybe a small leak on the intake manifold as well where pressure was sneaking into the coolant system. i could hear a wierd sound i never heard before like it had individual throttle bodies naturally aspirated.  hard to describe the sound. like a deep waap sound that was never there ever. then followed by over heat. i think the leak was always there on block(crack). i ditched the metal intake gasket and went with a paper one with rtv on each side. gunna let everything sit till tomorow and try it again lol. what a shit show.

Do you have a pressure sensor in the radiator?

Bummer mate.

This stuff is pretty amazing. Have used it to seal a radiator and a water pump on old bangers.

i would be inclined to chuck some in.

cheers chap. i ordered some but dont know if i can wait 2 weeks to try this bitch lol. shipping from australia takes some time these days for what ever reason. any where really about 2 weeks wait for me. 

 

im about 3 hours away from filling it up with fluid and trying it out again for the 73rd time. if it doesnt over heat or leak ill be happier than pig dung. if she over heats ill be pulling the plug on this engine and getting a prp rb30 i think, if its gunna go wrong it will for me hahah so i gotta go with something stronger. ive debating doing the jz swap a few times now...

 

well fired her up and the jb weld did its job great! only to force a bunch of coolant into cylinder 6 and 5.....so yeah im bunged for now and will confirm whats wrong. im guessing head gasket or cracked internally block. oh well.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
