B-BGTLimited Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 sorry to hear. I wonder how your radiator got cracked.. During rebuild maybe? No they are just small stress cracks right around one of the mounting boss's for the fan shroud. I think it's just old age showing. Whole fan/radiator assy was behind the car the whole time the engine was out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-BGTLimited Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 One of the cracks yes there is coolant seeping through, It's not like drip drip leak but sitting in the driveway after shutting it down it produced a decent sized drop right above the crack so it will eventually get worse. Its right here http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh201/3400modified/Leggy/2013-06-03093205_zpse0500b34.png Can't see it in this photo either so it's pretty recent as far as when it started to seep...

xt2005bonbon Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I say good job on catching that up now before it makes some costly damage to your motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-BGTLimited Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Yeah, pretty much the reason why the car is sitting in the driveway now too... Yeah it's just a small leak but last thing I need is it to blow when I'm driving to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-BGTLimited Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Well its FINALLY on the road. Replaced the radiator last night and put in the subaru coolant additive when I refilled it. So far all is well. I'm going to be looking over the tune to see how it's running compared to before all of this mess happened... and I'm really thinking about taking it down to ECS OR EFI logics to get a dyno tune done. That wont happen till end of June maybe July... A bit busy right now and I will probably wait till I have about 3k on the motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-BGTLimited Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Some what of a shame... ECS never replied to my contact us that I sent them... I was hoping to go with them due to the $150 price difference over EFI, but I may go with them if they respond to an email quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 You should have Mike Kinsman do your tune. http://www.tuningalliance.com He's out of town next week but send him a email. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

Nrw Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 That and BrenTuning's dyno is a half hour north of Plainfield, CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-BGTLimited Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 That and BrenTuning's dyno is a half hour north of Plainfield, CT Wait, what? Where is BrenTuning? I was starting with the names I've head before on here, but if someone is way closer and still has a good rep, I'll bring it there first. nvmd, he's about 45min from Plainfield... Still way closer. I'm also out of town all next week... Headed to Denver with the Beretta for our National meet. I still have a few things to finish up and chase down on the car but it should be mostly ready for a dyno run when I get back, sometime Late June or early July. Sent an email to both, we'll see what the price is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrw Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Give of take 15mins But yea right up in Auburn, MA as you found. 395 dumps right down the street from the dyno. IIRC Mike at Tuning Alliance uses ESP's dyno in Sterling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Correct Neil, Mike uses ESP unless he's found a closer dyno to use. Jon, Bren sounds like the best place, thru ESP is only another 15 minutes up the road from there. But either way, your going to get a great tune. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

ibr_adam09 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Why not StiMikey, "Phatbotti Tuning" ? I think he does Efi Logics and is based in CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-BGTLimited Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Well I'm all setup and going to visit Mike Kinsman on the 27th of this month... Get some base pulls and then go from there. 8:30am at Enhanced Street Performance in Sterling MA if anyone wants to stop by. Why not StiMikey, "Phatbotti Tuning" ? I think he does Efi Logics and is based in CT. I sent EFI Logics (and yes their tuner is "Mikey") an email and it took them a while to get back to me. Mike Kinsman was the first to get back to me out of all the emails I sent out so I went with him. All seemed to be about the same price. EFI is also 2hrs away from me where ESP's Dyno is only 1hr.

B-BGTLimited Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Apparently ESP canceled my 27th appointment on Mike so now I'm rescheduled to the 9th... this better happen this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Great to hear Mike will take care of your tune. If Dave Brady is there, you'll enjoy talking with him. They have some interesting cars there. He did one of the first auto to manual swaps in his wagon. Hint, bring your lunch. There is a lunch truck that comes by about 10:30 if I remember. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).
