Oil Cooler hose exploded

TARDCORE · 02-06-2010, 12:46 AM

The Z is fine. Its very dirty and I dont think ima spend the $100 to get it pressure washed but everything runs ok. Just got back from a late night drive and it seems normal, my butt dyno doesnt approve of the Stillen G3.

I can see what your saying about owning a Z. Im single and Im gonna stay that way, im 22, I have been a border patrol agent for 3 years and I work hard, outside in heat, rain, and cold weather, I dont get to sit inside a building all day long. I know how lucky I am to own a Z but I wasnt handed the dam thing for free. I can afford to drive a c6 vette, shoulda bought a c6 vette, should be driving a c6 vette tomorrow to work. Well I am not and thats the lesson I learned, patience. All the bs about the user install lol its plumbing connect part A to part B. The hardest part was the cooler itself; trying to figure out where to mount the thing. Regaurdless of everyones opinions, mine will stay the same. Z is a great fun car but it has its flaws like every other car on the market. Not knocking it at all, I still drive it, still defend it, I just want to get rid of it.

Did any of the engine oil cover the Stillen air filters? The G3 is pretty much proven to provide gains. How long have you had it on?

Did you reset the ECU?

Noooo! Don't use a pressure washer, I read some where that's a no-no! The water under that kind of pressure, can get into places and things that will cause problems!

I own a German-made Kranzle with adjustable pressure, and I use the underbody lance accessory followed by a Metro in areas that it can reach. The whole setup works beautifully, at least for me, but I’m detailed oriented as I take car care too seriously (ask my wife). No need to use it at full-pressure, and it's not a steam cleaner (that can actually remove engine paint, among other things).
