Ok this is two questions...
First of all, I have this annoying coolant leak. I had a shop install my engine. Two weeks ago I had a leak. I filled it up and ran the car, there is a very slight dripping, but once that drips for a while, and the car gets really warmed up, it starts to really spew out, so I found the leak. It was a hose that connects to the firewall in one place, and to another hardline behind the engine. I found a random hose at the parts store that seemed to work pretty well, and installed it. Oh yeah, also... the hoses that I took out were two smaller ones held together by a peice of plastic that seemed to be a mount, to hold them to the firewall. Well, that plastic wasn't mounted or anything, and the hose I replaced them with was just one longer hose... I assumed that didn't matter. Well now the car is leaking again, from the same area. I can't exactly see yet, but it seems to be from the same hose. It's a pain in the ass to replace, grr. Why would it bust open again? BTW I have an S13 with a Koyo Aluminum radiator.
I don't know which hoses are which, but I found this... does it have anything to do with it? http://www.srswap.com/shopexd.asp?id=260
Also, I was just reading around and I saw something about an AIV plug, etc. Can anyone explain this to me? I also found this, I'm just confused though. http://www.srswap.com/shopexd.asp?id=252 In that picture, it looks like the O2 sensor hole is plugged... or at least I have an O2 sensor in there. Someone said this too...
There should be a metal tube coming off of the turbo that sticks straight up pointing to the hood - take the tube off and plug the whole w/ an air inlet valve plug. Install the greddy turbo outlet pipe.
Well, the weird thing is that my A/F guage hasn't been working... so maybe there isn't supposed to be an O2 sensor there? I'm about to install my GT28R and I have a GReddy O2/Turbo extension that I'm about to install, and it has that same hole in the same place... so I'm just confused.
