Hey guys got all done with my intercooler but something is wrong. It dies when it gets into higher rpms. I thought it might have been the ic piping is loose and bingo, it was so i retightened all of the ic pipes. But it didn't seem to fix the problem. Ill try to get pictures of the engine bay up in a few min.

thanks.

Also forgot to add that there is a hissing noise coming from around the afm.

 

[supragook]

maybe a vaccum leak somewhere.... i used the starter fluid spray to find mine.. jus start the car and spray around where you think the leaks are... if you notice your motor runnin a lil smoother then thats where your leak is

 

[DegreE]

Are you sure you installed it correctly?

That Intercooler hangs down too low for my comfort.

 

[supra_guy]

Um, wouldn't starter fluid start my engine on fire..


Degree, yea man its perfect and sits great, its just the intercooler itself gets wider or longer in the end, so the pipes off the bottom arent really straight. I have around a foot of clearance though.

 

[supragook]

haha... you don't spray it all over the place...
jus spray along your pipes and intake manifold etc... if you notice a change in rpm when you spray.. you got a leak somewhere near where you sprayed..

 

[supragook]

in your case... put a lil spray where you hear your hissing sound...

 

[SpecialK]

I agree with degree. the intercooler sits too low. you shouldn't be able to see it under the bumper. and what's going on at the TB? Is that a reducer hose?

Why aren't you recirculating your BOV??? What type of BOV is that???

 

[Jostar]

Ok, just by looking at the BOV i believe it is installed backwards..... Correct me if i am wrong lol....

 

[supra_guy]

Lol bov is not installed backwards but your right I needed to recirculate it, took it for a drive and its fine. But another problem now, my headlights and taillights work, but my fuckin dashlights basically just went out on me, they don't work and nothing is blown in the fuse box.

Check your dimmer switch to see if it is turned down too low or not connected.

That IC sits WAY too low.

I hit the dimmer switch one time at night, and I was like WTFOMG where'd my gauges go...

The piping is making the fmic look like its low, try bending the mounts on the cooler so it rotates clockwise about 4-5 inches.

 

[dck1ng69]

If my front end looked like that in cali, I would have gotten a ref ticket like 5 times

 

[supra_guy]

I might just bend the lower pipe some more to let you guys sleep calmly at night lol. Its definately not the dimmer switch, tried that like 20 times haha.



The ic sits like this. (picture is without front bumper)

 

[DegreE]

Problem solved.

Ditch the bumper support so you can raise the intercooler.

Atleast trim around it so he can raise it just a lil bit...

 

[topguncam3888]

Recirculate that BOV.

bought an i/c pipe kit, but still has duct-tape on the IAC hose
