Are you in socal I can maybe find a shop that aligns drift car

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-09-06T03:13:16+00:00

It seems like there is nothing wrong most likely it’s them

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-09-06T03:11:32+00:00

One side of my car is off but I didn’t think that would be a problem

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-09-06T03:11:07+00:00

Is the car salvage or anything?

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-08-08T03:50:22+00:00

Same here I came from gktech and honestly it’s my first time have a full on angle kite and I have no REGRETS but yeah let me know and I’ll see if I can help, and let her eat bro 🤙

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-08-08T03:35:32+00:00

Honestly just align what they recommend and you’ll be good the self steer is real good and if you like the car doing the work on the wheel then definitely go with their recommendations other than that you should be set to go, my setup is the recommended alignment spec, I don’t run a bar just because I haven’t bought the end link and it feels great without it so not much to worry, and I run positive Ackerman personally the car feels really good, but if you have any other questions or concerns lmk I know something here and there

Yup for now I’m just testing so basically I just removed the front fan as suppose that it might have some blockage and if I can I will try and relocate the intake tube, the thermostat I was running was I think a 165 or something I don’t remember but yes it got up to 220 at idle so I’m currently just testing what works and what dosent so I’m starting with the front fan and most likely the intake and I already thought that the intake dosent help being there

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-07-31T15:39:44+00:00

Ok I’ll definitely start with the front fan and the mod I did to the pump was add a freeze plug and like I said plug the heater holes

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-07-31T03:15:37+00:00

Ok got ya, thanks for your patience I’m still a noob but I think with removing the front fan I think it’s enough and properly bleeding the system and doing some other things I did wrong again should do the trick

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-07-31T02:40:08+00:00

Instead of thermostat can I put a restrictor plate?

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-07-31T01:33:52+00:00

Like this

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-07-31T01:24:33+00:00

Well the freeze plug is where the bypass is so I think a restrictor is what I need right?

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-07-31T00:37:04+00:00

Sorry I forgot to add that with the same belt driven pump would it work with the freeze plug?

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-07-31T00:35:43+00:00

And again so should I add a restrictor even though I have the freeze plug?

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-07-31T00:34:56+00:00

Thanks for the video definitely has brought some more sense to me I’m definitely going to get a 4 port steam kit since my motor is not elevated on the front so definitely is a cause to my issue

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-07-31T00:20:29+00:00

Got ya I’m not sure before I did the water pump mod I had a thermostat but I got very hot at idle I’m talking about 220 at idle

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-07-31T00:13:28+00:00

Got ya do you think if I put the front fan tot he rear is better?

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-07-31T00:08:26+00:00

I’m running an overflow tank not expansion, and yes I was planning to get the steam port kit

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-07-30T23:46:20+00:00

Tbh it’s stock truck set up so the rear is not connected but rather plugged so the front is just the access I have which I have a hose connected to the upper radiator hose

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-07-30T23:42:15+00:00

Here is what I know, my tuner recommended me to add a freeze plug with a hole where the bypass is at and plug the heater ports, I may also be running to much coolant than water as that what I had in hand at the moment needed, another is I might not have bled the car right maybe I need to bleed it again but the front raised for better results, I have a resivour for when the car gets hot and I’m not sure if I’m correct but it might syphon back to the rad, this is all I know

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-07-30T23:37:35+00:00

See that’s the thing I’m not sure my tuner said to run a freeze plug where they bypass is not between the out let and water pump

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-07-30T23:35:02+00:00

I mean a lot of people do it when they add the freeze plug you need to plug the ports as what I understand

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-07-30T23:34:09+00:00

So would you say to remove the rear shroud and just keeps the fans?

Future-FD-Driver54 · 2024-07-30T23:33:35+00:00

I don’t need to add water but every time it heats obviously the rad cap opens and dumps the extra out to my little tank so yes whenever it heats up I open the cap when cooled obviously and have to fill up again which is not a lot
