ok i just changed my pulley size and reinstalled the blower but now when i go out and drive for an hour or two..i come back and check the intercooler fill neck and nothing...soo i get out the funnel.it only takes a little to fill but i just couldn't see any in the neck...next day after the same conditions it happens again...and again only a little to fill.. could i have gotton air in the system at..thats what its acting like..almost when i installed the h/e...because i've checked every hose is tight and not a drop of dex cool it just eating it. help.

 

whats an oukkey? also, yeah, you might have gotten air in the system and it's bleeding out, but i don't think it should take that long. you're not getting any white smoke are you?

 

sorry pulley and no no smoke at all other then a little black i'm running rich smoke

 

is coolant running out of the top of the block anywhere? do you smell something kinda fishy?

 

could be a gap in the system allowing your coolant to evaporate...but, that would make it leak out in a noticeable fashion.....has to be a leak durring combustion...any other issues that might point us in the right direction? or is everything peachy?

 

Slightly blown head gasket to where you dont see any white smoke OR blown intake manifold gasket.

 

no everything seems normal its just acting like i have air in the systm but only starting acting like that after i changes pulley size and taking the blower off is it possable to get air in the sytem that way

 

no...but it is possible that you need a head gasket from all the added pressure...and its just barely leaking as stated above

 

its the intercooler tho i thought that dosen't run through the block

and the pump is working

 

...good call....im a tard...hmm...maybe a busted lamanova in there? leaking into the intake?

 

Oh true. So I retract my previous statement and now I think it is just a blown intake gasket. :-)

 

but she runs perfect wouldn't i notice that...is it possiable i just got air in it some how

 

Coupled with that.

 

that wouldnt matter...collant doesnt go through any gasketed point where it wouldnt cause a dripping leak...it has to be going in the intake or just bleeding the air...

 

but how would a gasket make it leak out of a closed system.without me noticing that

 

exactly...it wouldnt...it would either leak out of the side or a hose somewhere.....it has to be out of a lamanova or just an air blead, but ur install shouldnt have opened up an air pocket...

 

i don't know i'll keep filling it and see what happens...but no intercooler coolant anywhere..and it been hot here lately and shes runniing real strong..so hopefully it just air some how.

 

that would be my guess...if it was an intake leak it would struggle at idle and ride really rough

 

coolant has a peculiar smell, can u smell it?

 

but when i had the blower off i didn't see any strange orange dex cool in the intake manifold...and the laminova i was able to see looked fine

no like i said she runs just like she did before just faster...and it only acting like when i had to bleed the system from installing the heat exchanger.other then that idles perfect and accelerates fast and smmoth

 

it'll smell like gingerbread cookies.

 

Where in PA are you?

 

i mean does that stuff evaperate is that possiable in this system

ha no it dosen't

reading.pa

 

no....not at a noticable rate anyway...it can evaporate through the plastics...but, not at a rate that would cause your levels to drop

 

I haven't done anything to my blower, and i lost a little bit of intercooler coolant. Give it a few days and see what happens.
