wigenOut-S30 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Well I got her back on the road Sunday.. went for a short drive. I found I was leaking coolent from the front of the block somewhere.. jacked her up.. finally found a small crack in the water pump.. took her off and noticed the smallest of cracks.. looks like a casting defect or something.. I must have cracked it when tightening everything up. So got a new water pump. threw her on.. went for a 60mile drive last night on the interstate over the bay way. It sure drives great.. no over heating issues, intake temps are awesome.. stopped at about 30 miles and I could actually touch my intake mani it was just barely warm!! I need to do some tuning Im getting around 13.6-14.0 AFRs for cruising. In boost I really need to work on it.. Hopefully with Rick on Saturday before DNI!..It sure feels good driving the Z again after 10 months of down time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumper Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hey Gabe, Glad you got her running reliably. Did you thermocoat your exhaust manifold? Oh and if I have too I'll lend you my god-like tuning skills friday night if you want. Seriously when it comes to tuning megasquirts I'm better than average. Just FYI.
