GaleForce · 06-01-2013, 06:04 PM

Looks great!

Dembflyr · 06-01-2013, 08:37 PM

That looks great.

If I'm not mistaken you can disable any CEL in Uprev.

Mr&Mrs · 06-06-2013, 08:33 PM

Well I was all excited to show everyone this.....

BUT as with most anything I start digging through all the goodies and realize my F'ING BATTERY is missing!!! Now instead of getting the Z out on some back roads for you guys tomorrow with the lowest rain chance for like a week. I will be taking it back to the store, and it was the last one. So who knows when I will get videos up.

Will it work with a gen 1 battery? I'll let you borrow my battery tomorrow if need be.

tibal · 06-06-2013, 08:39 PM

Exhaust is killerrr!! Dam that looks nasty.

The way I would look at it, all these hiccups just mean the return will be that much better when you get everything all buttoned up and working properly!

Coming from a glass half full kind of doooodddeee!

Did you buy that GOPRO new w.o a battery?

Mr&Mrs · 06-06-2013, 10:00 PM

Im not sure I called before they closed they have more. Im going to pick it up as soon as I can. I have to wait around for my pool table to get delivered though, I just remembered....so hopefully that doesnt mess me up either.

Thanks man! Yes I got it new from Best Buy. I know to look at the bright side, not many people get to complain their 400 dollar camera was missing its battery.

Oh ok, yeah I took the shield off too. It is still hitting it though. I was actually hoping it would melt to the right spot lol

Mr&Mrs · 06-08-2013, 12:41 PM

Well I have a couple videos im uploading now, but holy cow is youtube slow. It is probably going to take 10 hours for the 5 clips to upload.

I also have bad news and a video of my issue. White smoke is pouring out of the exhaust at idle. Once I get moving you cant see it and if I floor it nothing comes out heavy. Only sitting still or not moving and popping the throttle a little.

In the video it is only coming out of the drivers side but when I stopped the video I blipped the gas and it started to come out the passenger side too. I just shut it down after that.

Oil looks good not milky or watery, coolant level is good, temps were perfect, no funny noises, good AFR's, and power was still there. Could be a head gasket, valve springs, cracked block (hope not!), etc. Just odd that everything "looks" ok.....any ideas or thoughts? I guess I will be taking it to the shop sometime this week.

Mr&Mrs · 06-08-2013, 12:52 PM

I used a free video editing thing for this clip and it had a youtube button it uploaded fast. Here is the video sorry for the water mark but it was free! Lol

speedfreek · 06-08-2013, 02:58 PM

It is likely just the new exhaust burning what's inside the pipes during fabrication. You should be ok. Need to heat cycle the exhaust and it should go away.

Mr&Mrs · 06-08-2013, 05:23 PM

That is a nice thought but I dont think im that lucky. Wouldnt it be doing it from the start when I first got it installed?

Here are a couple more videos nothing great just testing out the camera.

man that thing is throaty as hell!!! hella mean tone.... and you didnt even rev it but i got goosebumps

OMGWTFBBQ · 06-09-2013, 02:34 AM

White smoke is normal. It's just the exhaust burning off chemicals during production process. It kind of reminds me of weird smelling marshmallows. Like burnt ones.
