Paul I have the descendant turbo kit
Im having some problem with the coolant the level every 3 weeks it low can be the side intercooler ??

paul_dezod

Be more specific? It's consuming coolant?

fosforito04

yes
It's consuming coolant

Unless you have a leak, more than likely it's a head gasket issue forming.

How is it possible a head gasket can have an effect on cooloant. Just curious.

Imaking

Because engine blocks and heads have coolant "channels" (if you will) machined or cast into them (see the oblong opening above the piston)



There are also channels machined/cast into the assembly for oil circulation. The only thing keeping these fluids from spilling into the cylinder or mixing with each other is the head gasket. Improper installation, age, and/or abuse of the engine can all cause this gasket to fail.

wow I learn something new..you must of drive the hell out of your car to have that happen.

paul_dezod

Thanks for responding in my absence.

Not really. Just either poor tuning or choice in fuel. Detonation is the #1 killer of head gaskets.

Rydrdg

O OK I see.

No cool vids or anything. Winter time sucks :/

I'll have videos after exhaust install and retune soon!

Dezod exhaust acquired.

Here's my new numbers..

Strong flat torque curve must be a blast to drive!

DAMN! Thats insane. Can you post exactly what performance upgrades you have done? I seriously wanna go BOOST but I live in California, I wonder what other states have less strict emissions? I just need to get out of Cali. lol

paul_dezod

This was our bolt on kit with 3" exhaust. That's it!

Supposedly the descendant kits were legal in Cali but I don't know exactly what the differences were.

paul_dezod

Their kit was never CARB legal. It's $10K just to apply for the test and you can fail it in the first 15 seconds of performing it.

Erager09

Ah I stand corrected. I was told that's why I had to use the stock air box or something to that effect.

paul_dezod

They where considering applying for the status, but never pursued it to my knowledge. In order to have that approval, something was up with the factory air box (because of the charcoal canister) and the factory cat....They scrapped the idea and the platform to say the least.
