Thanks Jvillain!!!

[Ek9Max]

Ok, so I've been having huge problems with my car lately. Couldn't seem to figure out the problem.

Jvillain took 3 hours out of his day, drove 45 minutes to my house, and found my problem!!!!!

Gotta say thanks man. Just gotta fix the problem compltely now. LOL

p.s The guy wouldn't even accept a case of beer for payment.

:thumbsup:

[Fcuk]

sounds awesome that you found someone like that max!

sounds like jvillan is a good guy :thumbsup:

[jvillain]

Your to kind Max. Just glad to see you up and running. Think you'll have it on the dyno soon? Down to the track?

BTW I may not have taken the bear but Max did force some head light lenses on me and showed me some cool twisties which we don't have enough of around here.

[Redlyne_mr2]

Haha right on glad to see Max is back in Action. Jvillain is sort of our own in house Billwot or No shoes. Thanks Shawn !

[Ek9Max]

Well. I think the vacuum connection we fixed came loose again or something. I'm gonna figure that out this weekend.....

[jvillain]

I thought you were supposed to be going to Canadian Tire today to get some proper hose and fittings to replace the stuff we jury rigged in there to get you rolling. Small hose like that is cheap just do it. It will save you pain down the road.

[Ek9Max]

yea I thought that lin we had would be good enough since it's small. But tommoro, I'm gonna make 1 of those booost leak tester thingis. and get all my problems resolved......


I got that pipe re/wedded, so that should be good.

So tommorow I'll let you know ho wit went. Right now I am gonna pass out o fmy front lawn.....

Stupid stampede.....

[jvillain]

Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

[Ek9Max]

Well teh pipe still has leaks.... So I think I'm gonna have ot wait till I put my new pipes on to fix that......

[jvillain]

Sorry to hear that. You were waiting for some thing before you could do that weren't you?

As a short term fix you could try putting some epoxy over the hole to try and seal it. I wouldn't boost big like that though.

[Ek9Max]

Yea I got some high heat "exhaust patch" kit and gobbed it on there for the meantime. I'll see how that works.

I'll be getting my new parts soon, so i can use my new non-leaking pipes.


Also, while I Was gobbing the goop on. I noticed that my snap ring on the BOV wasn't completly secure either. so I'm sure it wasn't giving a good seal.....

[jvillain]

Good deal. Small steps. You just keep knocking the problems off one at a time and one day you'll be thinking to your self. Hey this car has been working great lately.

[Ek9Max]

Yea. After its all fixed i can finally look at it and smile. It will look nicely with a "for sale" sign on it.

[mr2mike]

So max, what was the final problem? Or should I say problemS!!!

I always thought it was a sensor issue because it would be good until the ECU checked everything, then it would go into crap mode.

[Ek9Max]

It's a boost/vacuum leak. Haven't fixed the problem yet.


Too busy with my new S2000!

[jvillain]

Allready got the 'S' Max? Hope it works out for ya. Gonna enjoy whoopin your ass around race city.

[mr2mike]

Now that you know its a vac leak... we should swap engines. Mine comes with extra oil out the PCV :thumbsup:

Well who knows. Maybe I'll get the mr2 fixed and love it again. Then teh s2000 will be sold!

S2000 is a great car, but holy shit is ti slow. LOL

That says some thing. Alot of people consider the S2000 a pretty fast car. A little forced induction could change it's whole attitude.

Gears and a supercharger are on the list. I think that should be a good race for a tuned ct20b sw20 ;)

Can't keep your hands away from the mods can you max!
