WTF!!!!!!!!!! I need help

truaznflipboi · 07-15-2007, 02:36 PM

Ok so i just put some headers in my car yesterday and my car is not the same. Every time i step on the accelerator the car would just go loud and rpm shoot up but car wont move, well it would move but really really REALLY slow. My friends told me a lot of things that have may caused it from exhaust leak, engine mounts, to my clutch slipping. When i opened up to lid to see whats wrong i would here like a bubbling sound on one of the pipes from the headers coming from the engine block, this happens when i gas it. This thing is really pissing me off, what pissed me off more is that my cousins 95 mazda protege 95hp!!!!!!!! Beat the crap out of my car!!!!!. Ohyea my car is a 93 na

Sounds like your clutch is slipping and your coolant is boiling. Whens the last time you changed the coolant?

If you wanna go fast then go to the turbo section.

truaznflipboi · 07-16-2007, 12:46 PM

uhh i dont want to go fast i wanna fix my car.

shimric · 07-16-2007, 08:35 PM

I just said that in reference to your loosing to a mazda thing. I didn't really read your post thoroughly.

If it's revving but barely moving with the clutch all the way out in gear then IT IS YOUR CLUTCH SLIPPING!!! If the car is an automatic, then you probably have some interesting tranmission problems on your hands. I wouldn't worry about the bubbling sound until you get the car to move under its own power, but check that there is no exhaust leaking around the headers.

Thanks im presuming that thats the problem so i bought a new trans stage 1 clutch and a lightweight flywheel for the car Hope fully this fixes the problem

Mr Deuce · 07-17-2007, 05:02 PM

yea im gunna go with the clutch as well. And the bubbling noise could be from an exhaust leak or air bubbles in the coolant.

btw what kind of headers did you get?
if you say ssautochrome or xspower its probably a warped flange causing and exhaust leak. also make sure your headers arent too close to anything causing it to melt

it depends on where you live. Where im from theres no emissions so im not running a cat at all. If your not concerned about emissions a straight pipes probably cheaper. But performance wise i think you'll only see a minimal difference between the 2 anyways

truaznflipboi · 07-19-2007, 07:12 PM

alright cool thanks

Gairloch · 07-19-2007, 07:51 PM

Where did you end up getting your flywheel from? Fidanza, right? I am interested in hearing what you think of it.

truaznflipboi · 07-23-2007, 01:46 AM

im wondering how much a stock flywheel weighs??

truaznflipboi · 07-23-2007, 01:46 AM

oh and do i really need to run with a stage 1 clutch or oem is fine??

Gairloch · 07-23-2007, 05:08 AM

OEM would be fine.
