this is the reason why i turbo'd mine lol

 

Because you had a dead pump and/or bad plumbing?

OP how do you have everything routed?

 

I ran all the hoses as from a diagram I found on the zzp website...do you know my exact set up could yo send me a pic of how it should be ran with no secondary resevoir and a secondary heat exchanger added??

 

No because I don't hve that setup. The most important thing (after verifying your pump works) is making sure that coolant flows by gravity to the pump inlet (side/center) from your fill point.

 

bored of a slow car, pissed off because of all the problems, also pissed off how much it cost to attempt to make it faster

 

Ok we'll I will deff take a look at it...but I have to fix the starting issue first...

 

what the hell is wrong with your starting issue?

 

Well I push started it today with a couple friends started and ran fine ow ever when I try to use the key to start it it doesn't so anything...all the lights come on and the fuel pump kicks on but when u turn the key to start it it acts like the clutch isn't pushed in...?

 

your starter is bad...

or the relay went bad

 

But I did jump the starter out from post to post...and the starter turned but wasn't engaged if you know what I mean

And to add to that I switch the crank fuse with the ac fan fuse and still nothing...

 

your solenoid went out then

 

Oh dear lord..DO I need to come over there derriek lol

 

all you really need to do to check if ur PUmp is working is turn the key two clicks foward and look to see if fluid is moving..or you hear a pump noise..if you dont..its dead..Its a common issue on our cars. I just replaced mine...and when you fill it..the HE will take about half a gallon of coolent..if its bone dry.

 

half a gallon may be underestimating, my cx racing H/E took a full gallon of mix to fill up

 

Mine must of had a little bit in it still..

 

I believe you filled up the wrong coolant resovoir. You see the little fill cap in front of the supercharger? Fill that with distilled water and repeat as necessary until the system is bled completely. It may take a couple days to work all the bubbles out. Make sure your IC pump is functional, in my experience they tend to go bad every 30-40K miles.

On the stock tune, the IC pump does not turn on with 2 key clicks IIRC.

 

I have the zzp tune will the pump turn on with the key??and also I didn't fill a reservoir it took about half a gallon I filled it from the radiator hose that connects to the top of the motor so I filled the stock heat exchanger first

 

I was just starting to wonder the same think since he kept mentioning engine coolant temp
Correct. And I'm not sure if zzp can tunes do that either.

 

Distilled water??? I filled the top radiator hose with 50 50 pre mixed coolant I shouldn't need water correct??

 

Use 50-50 sinnce were in mi..itll work just fine and u wont have to change it for winter

 

Please understand that the LSJ motor has two separate coolant systems, one for the motor and one for the intercooler. You do not need to touch the motor coolant system at all when installing a heat exchanger. The coolant temp on the DIC is completely irrelevant to the intercooler coolant temperatures since they are separate. Watch your IAT1 and IAT2 temperature difference on your interceptor, IAT2 should be in the neighborhood of 20* higher than IAT1 while cruising. If they are more than 20* apart, you may have a bad IC pump and/or the system is not bled/routed properly.

You used the correct mix for the engine coolant system, however it is acceptable and better to run straight distilled water in the intercooler system granted you're not driving in freezing temperatures. I run distilled water 100% of the time since I'm in Texas and garage the car.

 

Mystery solved.

 

Can someone please explain the two cooling systems??? I did not put any water in my car and the only place I added the 50 50 mix was the big hose on the top of the motor?? What am I doing wrong??

 

You have the Heat Exchange System and the Normally coolant system...the big pipe you prob took off is the normal one..
Now you said you have Option B?
Fill the second coolant bottle on the pass side till its Full...then drive around town letting the coolant get sucked into the Rads and refill as the coolant fills the space..it doesnt do no good if you cant drive the car to get the coolant moveing.
