I have a TVS setup on my car and breathers installed along with a oil cap breather. On the passenger side the one way check valve is still installed. I can't really wrap my head around how the system operates. I've asked vendors like JPC about this in the past and they said no need to remove...

Initial results after removing the fans and upgrading the pump are basically meh. At cruise, temperatures are slightly lower. As in about 2-4 degrees. At idle, they are higher by at least that much. My temps are still not good. Cruise temps are easily 50 over ambient. At idle, can get...

My 14 car has had the mirror issue, also solved with the o-ring between the mount and the glass. I also had one of the plastic clips on the front bumper passenger side plastic mounting bracket break last time I pulled the bumper off the car.

Well, I've filled up the system and dumped it several times now with tap water. Tried letting some vinegar and water sit in there for a while. Filled it up with distilled, run it, then dumped it. I cannot get rid of what looks like tiny white specks/flecks in the system. Last time I drained...

So update. I have it working now. I drained a good portion of fluid out of the degas. To the point it was below the intake hose coming from the IC. I then blew into the degas and was able to clear the air. Pump now clearly is running good. I can see current in the degas. Another problem...

I was able to get something put together that works. Now I can't get the pump running. It makes a buzzing noise but no flow visible in the degas. System is full. I suspect air locked or bad pump. I tried pinching the hoses, doesn't help. I'd like to eliminate air lock without having to...

Thanks yah I may order one up and just wait for it. This right here would be perfect, but the material is stainless steel which is an issue here because of possible galvanic corrosion. Stainless Steel Barb Adapter So dumb that I can't find one of these locally. WTH

Pulled my fans and am getting the gt500 pump installed now. Does anyone know where to pick up a 3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 y adapter? I can't find one and I've googled and called around town. Nobody has this part. I might be able to make a tee work but it's a tight space and a Y would be so much easier.

I'm actually thinking about doing both the upper and lower cervinis gt500 grille. Mainly just to increase flow to the radiator and heat exchanger. It's a lot of money to pay for a piece of hard plastic. Mainly whats been keeping me on the fence.

I don't think my resonators are that long they may be one size down from that length-wise. Could be part of the issue. People also seem to have some variance in what they personally consider to be "rasp" and what isn't. So there's that too. I do really like the touring at WOT. I can't even...

Will it hook from a 120 roll?? :p

Mines been making noise since as long as I can remember. Been WOT with it lots, changed oil several times, etc.. I guess as long as it continues to run idc. Out of warranty anyway. :p

Only way to minimze the rasp is either put cats back in or go for a chambered muffler like the GT500 axle backs. I have no cats, h pipe, and resonators on stock headers. Even with borla touring it still sounds kinda raspy to me though I think it's fantastic at WOT.

SAE figures are supposed to be altitude corrected aren't they? On a stock gen1 coyote I'd not bat an eyelash running a 69mm pulley on that car if the gasoline is decent. It's gonna take that to trap 128-130 at your altitude. You may want to look into a mosaleen or hasty bracket with the...
