I think he just cooked it and possibly blew off an IC hose.

Thats if he is lucky.

Worse case is its leaned out causing the coolant to boil and exh. valves burnt, possibly even blowing a hole in a piston. :cheers:

Which is why it a good idea to often throw the car on a dyno every 6 months or a year for a power run to check the AFR's are in check.

Head Gasket, Holed Piston, Burnt Valves.... I would go for the latter... Pull your plugs out and you will find they do not all look the same...

Good Luck

sounds like uve done a head gasket, just the fact that water pouring out of ur overflow is one major factor.

Pull out all ur plugs check for water in ur cylindars and take off ur oil cap and see if its milky....if it is, ure up for a new head bro.

just exactly how long was ur burnout? lol

Water coming out of the overflow doesnt nesseserally mean a head gasket. My car used to do it when it was in traffic, but it had a hole in it as well... I also lost my radiator cap and cooked the engine... They will take a fair bit. It was that hot that it wouldnt run and was knocking during idle.... Picked it up in the afternoon and it was fine, but for sure i was lucky with that one.

    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
