Enlight Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I believe I had similar issue with my OpenPort. It wouldn't be found after some Windows update. Out of the pages and pages I waded through of saying that the cable or the USB Mini B port was the culprit, I came across one person who said the same as you. I decided it was worth a shot. My car is also running smooth again. After checking over the new grounding points the engine magically ran smooth again. I don't understand how this could happen since I was only adding new grounds, not replacing the factory grounds with which the car was running smooth. Now it runs so smooth I thought it had died on me. A few weeks back I tried Cataclean. I don't know whether it's actually the placebo effect but that made a significant difference as well. muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infosecdad Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Looks like one of my headlight projectors has hazed out. Not sure how else to describe it. Light output is definitely cut, and no longer clear. Projector looks foggy compared to the other. Options: - Go JDM black headlight from buyee.jp or eBay - Go Depo (US) - Tear them apart and replace the projectors and such Thoughts on which route? Part of me wants to go JDM with the levelers (I have the switch) and pick up the adapter harness as well. Part of me wants to just go Depo and be done quick Part of me wants a project and tear them apart, matte black paint, new projectors, etc. I have a full Morimoto HID system that's pretty new, so I plan to stick with that for the lighting.

whitexc Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I went the Depot route and wrapped them with LaminX. Happy there. Your car is too nice for plain Jane though.

awfulwaffle Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Blueprinted the latest motor yesterday, picked out all bearings and set clearances. Ready to build as soon as I get seals. It will either be a spare shortblock, or a quick drop-in if the one in the car needs anything other than bearings. Shouldn't given this is all about a flare in lead content in the UOA... Interesting thing - the block was torque plate honed, and I decided to grid out the cylinders to see how they distort when the torque plate was removed. All 4 are barreled out in the middle (axially). Not at all what I would have expected... Edited December 12, 2021 by awfulwaffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infosecdad Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Go for it, I'm leaning toward the Morimoto Mini H1 projectors... The thing is my lens are pretty tired, so I'm considering doing B & C. Buying a set of Depos and then opening them up and installing projectors. The light pattern and cutoff seems so much better with a HID projector. But that's why I'm still considering the JDM route, as those should be better than US for stock projectors (being HID from the factory), right? Then I could also go with the leveling with the adapter harness. Ugh decisions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoozeRS05 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Ordered a Megan Racing aluminum radiator last night. $200 shipped through their website with 15% off sale. Have a new coolant crossover pipe from rockauto that I can install also.

m sprank Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I have had awful results with Depo lamps and refused to use them when I offered lamp clearing services. Just my $0.02. Same goes for anything Megan Racing. Its an eBay brand at best. I would bet that the OEM radiator is more efficient than the aluminum Megan. My best recommendation there is to visually inspect the inside of the radiator as best as possible. Slag has been found in them and ended up in the engines of cars.

BoozeRS05 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I had nooo problems with my last set of depo headlights. They were surprisingly nice out of the box and no issues for many years of daily use. Megan Racing exhaust parts of fine quality too. We shall see!

xt2005bonbon Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Main bearing seal is my thinking as well. I actually reused that infamous orange o-ring on the OEM pump since I replaced it only 5k miles ago (I was also thinking that’s why the OEM one was having its new-at-the-time minor leak). Resealed OEM pump has 100 miles on it so far - smoke free and no fluid loss at all. We’ll see how well the Gates seals hold up! Mine is in fact leaking. Do you know where to purchase a complete set of seals for the pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amm203 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Mine is in fact leaking. Do you know where to purchase a complete set of seals for the pump? I bought the following kit: Gates 348532 That kit covers 95% of the seals. It did not contain a snap-ring for the bearing but I just reused the old one since it wasn't deformed during removal. I bought the following as well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XR6DHYS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XR9D14F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 These are the final two seals needed. One is 17mm OD x 13MM ID x 2mm width & the other is 16mm OD x 12mm ID x 2mm width. One is for the pressure sensor O-ring and the other is an O-ring for that outer bolt with the spring. (I forget which one goes where but it's fairly obvious to match up the old ones with the new ones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll return it if it's a POS If you like their exhaust quality, you will probably be fine with their radiator quality. But the exhaust has little chance of adding metal contamination to your engine. I would check thoroughly and flush prior to install just to be safe. Not the best fab quality China has to offer. Dont want a $200 radiator taking out a $6k engine.
