Default It's Alive

My turbo Ls hatch is up and running. I still have some problems like overheating and an exhaust leak but it runs. It pulls pretty good but I still want to compare it to something. I would like to thank all of Enginuity for all of their help and dedication. Let the games begin.

Edit: I would also like to thank Ricky and Jody for hooking me up with the motor.

congrads on the buildup.

on the overheating issue: make sure your anti-freeze/water mix is 50/50 and I recommend feeling the lowere radiator hose to see if its cold. Change the thermostat and shit.

exhaust leak: bring it to the shop (big als on independence near pleasure house) and ill hook you up with fixing that exhaust leak.

hell yeah. i doubt its the mixture seeing as you can run straight water and it shouldn't overheat as long as everything is working properly. check the heater hose connections and the thermostat. did u change the water pump before you installed the motor?
