DeathHatch Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 ok here it is. i just recently bought jays (84scoobaroo)'s xt turbo. and it has a cracked head and the block is bad. so when he owned it he could run it for 2-3 mins without it over heating. so i get it and i cranked it over. and i was sitting their for 20 min and the temp didnt even go up 1 bar so i wondered if i could drive it. so today i put some water in the rad. and started going. went good and the bar only went up to 1. but i was running the motor in the 1800-2000 range. so i thought what if i opened this beast up. i saw a honda going up a hill and reved my engine and opend it up to 4 gear around 5000 and went only another bar up. needless to say i drove it about 10 miles then battery died so i decided to drive back. went back about 3 miles and the temp didnt reach ne thing over 4 bars. so i thoght im going to be fine. went to a stop and smoke started to pour out from under the hood and the turbo air duct. i then drove it about 5 miles like this and then white smoke went every where then finally it died in the middle of the intersection when it just wouldnt go ne more. i just thought that this is weird that it would take so long for it too do this when it couldnt be ran for more than 2 mins and the temp gauge not go over 4 bars... :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Maybe the water level was too low for the sensor to read? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Exactly. There wasnt enough water in the system to get a reading from. Once it got to temp the TS opened up and away went the what water you had, in a cloud of steam. Glad you got that block from me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
