UniqueTII's Story Part II:



OK so we get it back together (Well he did, I was at a rod show) and it seems to have more power, but not as much as it seemed to have before.



Drove it around for a bit and I felt the coolant hoses going to the BAC valve and they were not even close to hot. The rest of the coolant hoses were too hot to touch but...



Pulled the line off the front of the BAC and it spit water out of the hose but not the valve. This doesn't seem right for some reason, on my NA the valve gets hot after a drive around the block.



I've bypassed the valve before on an NA with no real nasty affects can you do it on a TII?



Worried about the coolant line under the manifold being kinked.

I like to bypass the lines. I never had any ill effects from doing that.

Rotarydragon

Well we discovered it was way down on coolant and filled it up. Runs mucho better!



Now the downside..



It's blowing oil smoke. Too much of it.

13BAce

Sounds like he needs a rebuild. B)

vosko

his oil seals were going before

13BAce

Yeah, I know.

Rotarydragon

Yeah it always blew a bit of smoke, now it's starting to make an art form of it.



I was driving it, did a quick shift from 1st to 2nd and there was a lovely smoke cloud behind it. I think they're jussst about shot. Still pulls pretty strong tho, wonder if he'd mind driving around with a smoke screen?



We could install a remote oil sump!



*is really really gonna get it for that last remark *

vosko

cough*jspec $650*cough. i get a little smoke from mine but it could be too much gas or the turbo going it had a little play. i found a gas tank for mine $50 pickedup !!
