Fixed problems Superchargedgsr?

[daveb91]

Wondering if you figured out what happened to you car on sat? Hope it is alright that was or is a nice car. Oh and welcome.

[superchargedgsr]

nope nothing yet wont know until tomorrow...went over and looked at it this morning and the hose where the coolant was leaking from is really soft like it got weak...and its loose, so I have no idea what happened :?: :?:

[daveb91]

The one on the passenger side? It really looked like it was coming from right below that but it might of been getting deflected. What about the oil issue?

[Feedman]

Glad to see ya signed up....if you would please keep us posted on what happens....

Good luck buddy... 8)

[superchargedgsr]

oil was half way between the 2 dots on the dipstick once i check it this morning, the car had been running for about one hour straight though. so that could be why the oil hadnt settled to get a good reading yet, dont know for sure? but whatever it is i will get it fixed and be back on the road in a week or so, just money.. right lol..

How much oil does that supercharger require?

Let me know what you find out about that heater core, i have a feeling that could have been the culprit... or at least a contributing factor.

Get ahold of me about tires, PM me or something.

[Feedman]

I believe the JRSC is pre-oiled from the factory and is closed. Can't be oiled. Now Vortech on the other hand requires a oil feed line just like a turbo.... 8)

[daveb91]

Yes the JRSC does not use the engines oil.

So you can't replace it after a while? Sounds like a bad setup

[superchargedgsr]

hose went bad is why the coolant was coming out, it was really expanded around the bottom nipple, they said it just came right off with out even taking the clamp off when they pulled on it...that in turn they think may have blown the head gasket because it is missing now, only firing on 3 cylinders, but who knows, they wont be able to look into it for a couple of days, its start fine now since they replaced the hose and everything.....so i am just gonna wait and see and go from there.....i need to size and brand of tires you were wanting so i can get a price

was you in marietta yesterday?

[Feedman]

Thats good you figured out where the coolant was coming from. I would look it over real good and make sure the headgasket is blown. Do a simple compression check. Takes 5 minutes and would tell you if it needs replaced. If not, could save you time and $$. Could have fouled a plug. Check the simple stuff first....you might be surprised....

Good luck dude... 8)

Kumho Victoracers V700 245/45R17

Four please :D

[superchargedgsr]

only kuhmo 245/45 i can get
Kumho Ecsta ASX

it is a blown gasket, just hope the head is not cracked
but if it is oh well, i will just have to buy a new one, but will probably do alot more to the motor while it is all tore apart
last spark plug when we took it out, let out a pig puff of smoke, smelled nice like burnt coolant

Same here thats what im gonna do in the down time just do some Deep motor mods while it is apart. You know how do replace the head Gasket?

[superchargedgsr]

i know how to pay someone to do it....not real big on motor work, like to do electronics and such...i wouldnt mind doing it, but its just as easy to have it done at the garage, as my work space at my house is limited

[Racerx300zx]

Let you know... :D

As far as the head goes, don't pay that much for it. I know of a good GSR head in columbus for $400 if my buddy hasn't sold it yet...

Even still, I'm sure one of us could come up with something much cheaper.

[daveb91]

$1900 you could have the whole engine.

[xjoewhitex]

$1900 you could have the whole engine.
I went to advanced yesterday just for the hell of it for motor prices it was 2,300 for b18a1(Ls) and 2,500 for b18c1 (gsr)

[daveb91]

Thats why you join Honda forums so you dont have to pay an arm and a leg.

[superchargedgsr]

yeah but extended warranty is paying for it not me, so i will order the new one, and they reimburse me,thats if it is even cracked, which i doubt it is
