Hey Guys. I just got done with an RB20DET conversion into an S14 pre-facelift silvia and im running into a few problems. Firstly, the engine overheats really quickly. I started the motor up this morning and took it for a little drive up my road. Less than 2 minutes of driving results in the temp guage reading HOT and removing the radiator cap also results in a spill of almost boiling water. The engine oil warning light is also always on even though i just did an oil change and there is plenty of oil in the motor. Could this be an electrical problem? Does this light come on when the engine oil gets really hot or is this just an indicator of low oil? The car is not running any fans at this point. But it was a cold morning and i have no bumper on the car so it is getting plenty of air. Surely it couldnt be the cause of this overheating after just two minutes?
There is also a lowd screetching noise coming from the belts. And my powersteering comes on and off for some reason (I did fill it up with power steering fluid).
There is also plenty of lag before boost kicks in. Mods are 600*300*100 front mount intercooler with 2 1/2 piping. 3inch exaust and hks pod. i suspect the blowoff valve may be causing some problems. Right now ive got the little hose that connects to the throttle chamber hooked up but the bigger hose where the air released is missing (i blocked the hole on the intake hose with a cap ). Could this be causing the lag and the shit drivability?
I know theres plenty of questions there but any help would be greatly appreciated. Il post some pics up of the car soon
