Blown Motor, Engine Rebuild/Replacement.

I would probably take it and have a vacuum pulled on it. Only saying that for how long your lines were unconnected. Did you blow out the condenser on the CSF?

You could try doing it yourself. I believe you fill thru the low and bleed out the high but to be honest I didn't pay that much attention to what my tuner was doing considering I didn't have the tools needed to do it myself.

The radiator from csf didn't come with any instructions so I'm needing to know what you guys had to do with your csf radiator to get in charged for the a/c? I know to use the low side but didn't know the radiator had special instructions concerning the a/c and condenser..

jwick

Mine didn't have any instructions either. My tuner just told me to blow compressed air thru the condenser to make sure nothing was in it and reconnect the lines. That's all I did.

Yes, you need to pull a vacuum on the system once you connect it back up. It will remove the air will also help you check for leaks. This will prevent contamination of the system. IF you get an air pocket in the system you will see an increase in pressure while the system runs. It will rise up and fall as the air passes through. You can vacuum the system with a machine or gauge set with a vacuum pump. The best way is with an R134a A/C machine. You can then put the correct weight of refrigerant in the system and oil, if needed. If you have a good amount of miles on the car, It is a good idea to replace the receiver dryer. This is the filter for the system. It filters out all of the moisture and trash.

Sorry but sold my old house and my car is at a friends house. The only thing needed is to bleed the clutch and fill with antifreeze. The gtm base map is in there so I will run that long enough for the engine break-in then go to tampa for my final tune and install my 1000cc injectors.. This really sucks because I'm so close....

All good things come in time, look forward to seeing you back up and running. Congrats on the new place.

What did you end up doing with your cracked exhaust manifold? Sorry if it was already posted and I missed it.

Had a bit of fab work done to it and also supported that side of the turbo with a metal strap... Only time will tell..

Update for an awful day with my car. To make a long story short I found out that when my vsr built my motor they did not replace my rear main seal. Needless to say when I went to start the car today oil was coming out at a steady stream. Is it just me or wouldn't you think they would have replaced that when rebuilding my new motor? At this point I'm Disgusted.

String of bad luck bro. I hope they resolve it but fixing it at no cost.

esfourteen

they absolutely should have replaced it, but why is it leaking so badly? sounds like its damaged or theres a lack of RTV in the upper pan area somewhere

Bobby offered to fix it and they would cover to transport it to vsr but at this point I don't feel too confident on too may things...

COSMO

You can actually see the rtv pushed out where it is connected so I think it's just a faulty seal. He tried to say that I should have noticed it and used my old rear main seal to into the new motor. At that point I went off.....
