BP turbo build/advice

hc_416 · 07-21-2017, 03:42 PM

so my car started to overheat when I was warming it up today; I was talking with my friend across the street and notice anti-freeze coming out. I turn her off ASAP. After I let it cool down I took her for a quick drive and noticed she was driving fine, but at lights she would get really hot so..... I went under the hood and noticed that my fans are working. Can anyone give me a direction on what I should look for first? I put on the ac to try to start the fans, but it comes out with hot air and the fans don't kick on. I want to check the fuses'/ relay next does anyone know which one they are?

In before SouthArk directs you to FSM in his sig.

Constructively, I have nothing to offer. Hope you get it figured out! Ill bet its something stupid like a fuse.

hc_416 · 07-21-2017, 03:57 PM

eh i hope not, just looking for advice. Both fans went out at the same time so it might be something in common with them. Maybe a fuse or a bad fan control module. Is there a way to check the module and the fuse?

2008 g37’s six speed coupe
Problem car is overheating due to fans not coming on.
Hey guys I have a question to the mechanic’s out there or anyone that could help!
1. The first questions is can I replace the pmw relay underneath the battier cover? I cracked it while trying to pull it out.
2. The second and bigger problem is my fans are not coming on at all, hence why I was looking for the fan relay to see if it is bad. Is the pwm relay that I cracked for the vvel motor or the fan relay? There is two relay’s and it is on the passenger side. I was/still am looking for the relay for the fan. Any help would be appreciated.

well it was a easy fix, my control module went out. I order one from z1 for 54 bucks and just swapped it out. Now its running as it should!!\

I did some research and watched this from YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO7IQuRbDIU

Once I saw the fans were working it was pretty easy to fix. I guess this was a pretty common problem. It went after we had a week heat wave over here in CT.

A couple vids of the start to the season! I only hit about ten pounds, I am still getting used the car she can hit about 16-18 pounds.

well an update... My turbo seems to have broke i have oil out of the tail pipe and oil leaking by the turbo... it now makes no boost. I'm thinking damage to one of the wheels inside. Maybe ill get that ATS - V!

If you're still running an exapump I have a damned near new 6466 1.32ar to sell for cheap.

hc_416 · 11-03-2018, 10:11 AM

thanks for the offer, but i'm just looking to rebuild the turbo. I want to take it all apart and make sure its not just a blow seal first. If it is not, ill see if Sasha can get me a new cartridge.

Are you sure the exa pump is working?

hc_416 · 11-03-2018, 03:39 PM

Hey does anyone have a link to the install kit? I want to make sure if I take it apart it will go back together.
