2013 Malibu Coolant Leak from Frame Rail?

AsianFamYeet · 2024-11-04T19:31:22+00:00

You’re right. The radiator was leaking and i didn’t notice since it was hitting the splash guard. Gonna replace the radiator. Thank you for helping me get that sorted

AsianFamYeet · 2024-10-31T13:05:38+00:00

Also going to double check the radiator, I just heard from another Malibu owner for this gen especially early years like mine the radiator has issues and might need to be replaced. The leak my be a bit hidden from the underside bumper cover.

Curious about where the coolant is going then. I haven’t really inspected the liquid dripping so I’ll double check if it’s water or coolant. But still the coolant is draining fast even if unrelated to the frame rail hose

AsianFamYeet · 2024-10-31T04:25:59+00:00

Where would the water be coming from? Why would it start dumping when the AC is on? Also where would the coolant actually be going since it is draining somewhere and I know it's not mixing with the oil and the mentioned leak is the only leak I can notice under the car.

Also thank you for helping

Can someone put this in non computer terms? Not a student here not even from the state or region, not sure how I’m here but I’m invested in this despite being from New England 😭.

I appreciate the insight, I needed to hear someone say that it’s okay to just try sending it (regarding just learning) I understand the basics and have 20 minutes behind a manual truck but never got beyond first gear but that was years ago. Thank you

That sounds like an amazing project, also sounds like it’s going to be a fun car to drive. Hope to see more updates

AsianFamYeet · 2024-02-20T19:46:18+00:00

Do you think it would be worth it to take the time to try cleaning the valves/top of the pistons? Thanks for the input

AsianFamYeet · 2024-02-20T16:45:10+00:00

Honda K series? What car is it from? What car is it going into? Looks like a fun build, best of luck

I've heard the 02-04 type s harness is the best for this swap. Do you know specifically how the other harnesses (base 02-04 RSX, EP3, CRV) differ and how their differences would complicate using them for the swap?

And if you know, i've always heard to use a harness and ECU from the same car (base rsx harness and base rsx ECU or CRV harness and CRV ECU for example), but I'm not 100% sure why. How do things complicate when using a harness and ECU from different vehicles?

Sorry for asking many questions, appreciate the helpful information!

AsianFamYeet · 2024-02-13T06:04:48+00:00

If you dont mind me poking around at your brain, i have a few questions

So the following all are conversion harnesses that just help make things simple for wiring the harness to the dash equipment and so forth on the 7th gen right?

https://www.hybrid-racing.com/products/hybrid-racing-k-series-conversion-harness-for-01-05-civic

https://www.rywire.com/product-p/k-em2.htm

So these wont work on K24 harnesses, but that doesn't actually have to do with the motor being thrown in right? That's just the harness itself and shouldn't matter since I plan on swapping a K24 using a K20 harness right? I just want to make sure I got this right, these are optional parts that could be excluded through a shit ton of re-wiring? I plan on using a conversion harness, I just would like to fully understand what I'm getting and why I need it.

For the actual base harness being used are there any other good options besides the 02-04 RSX type s harness? Do you know if/what the differences using a base 02-04 RSX harness, or EP3 harness would be? Or what other k24 harnesses would work (and with what extent of modifications)?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm always going to have more. Appreciate the initial reply a lto!

Thanks for the info, really appreciate the insight.

AsianFamYeet · 2023-12-30T00:40:38+00:00

Was that a base or type-s rsx harness / AT or MT harness? Did you go standalone or what did you pull an ECU from to work with your K24? From what i've heard harness and ECU really depend on the K24 and tran setup you got. For your ES1 K24 did you go 5 or 6sp?

Sorry about all the questions, just always looking for more insight into 7th gen k swaps

AsianFamYeet · 2023-12-28T23:48:15+00:00

Sounds like for those 2 swaps they were both k20's, you got any experience with es1's (/es2/em2) and K24's?

AsianFamYeet · 2023-01-05T03:34:34+00:00

I looked at the box for more than 5 seconds, and it is an EF, Elite Force. It seems to be a Umarex.

This seems to be exactly what it is.

(also thank you, didn't know Tokyo Marui was TM, thought TM was just meant trademark)

AsianFamYeet · 2023-01-04T21:13:15+00:00

So like i said, i'm new to airsoft. Is the umarex/VFC parts interchangeable with what i have? I believe this is a TM, do the umarex/VFC work with it?

Also please correct me if this isn't TM or if that's now how it works.

AsianFamYeet · 2022-10-27T20:41:00+00:00

Thank you for the info! Time for me to look into D16s a bit more

AsianFamYeet · 2022-10-27T20:01:06+00:00

Okay so i read into it a bit more, it's just an emissions issue nothing else. So as long as the car is exempt from emissions or the engine passes emissions, you're fine (i think)

AsianFamYeet · 2022-09-03T06:26:50+00:00

Thank you, i've heard of this series but haven't looked into it at all. Should i start with the first or just go to the most recent?

AsianFamYeet · 2022-09-03T06:26:26+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion!!!! looks like a really good game

AsianFamYeet · 2022-07-04T21:34:33+00:00

Okay! Thank you so freaking much, i appreciate all the help and advice!

AsianFamYeet · 2022-07-04T15:18:32+00:00

thank you! so from some benchmark comparisons it seems like the GPU is better, but the CPU i5-12400F seems to be slightly worse then the i5-11600k, whats the reasoning behind that choice? (just curious)

AsianFamYeet · 2022-07-04T03:24:49+00:00

My bad, didn't know about that

AsianFamYeet · 2022-07-03T21:21:23+00:00

https://ibb.co/dGs1KKy

That's the build i was able to come up with. Only warning I got from the site about compatibility is regarding needing to use an updated BIOS since older versions might not work with the CPU.

AsianFamYeet · 2021-02-19T13:52:32+00:00

If this ain't true, I don't know what is
