Newbie in need of help
HI I just bought a 1998 Civic si coupe from a guy. It had the d16y8 engine, with a JR supercharger. He said it has the high boost pulley on it, and is pushing 8psi. Before he sold it to me he had 440 injectors along with a stand alone computer. he removed the computer, and 440 injectors replacing them back with the standard d16y8 injectors. The car also has the the JR boost timer. Here are my problems.
1. the belt squeals like crazy during start up, and now during gear down as well. I have tried tightening by using the bolt, but the tensioner pulley just isn't going down far enough, what should I do?
2. Under hard acceleration, the coolant is being pushed out through the cap of the plastic overflow coolant bottle and the car begins to overheat. it did so last night , and after allowing it to cool down, then start the engine the temperature guage stayed at " C" then back up to normal, then back down to "c" but never overheating. today everyting seems to be back to normal, no overheating tem gauge working fine, headgasket seems to be intact, good acceleration. This coolant push happens whenever i drive the car hard, and at times even when i don't there is a faint trickle of coolant by the overflow bottle cap. Does anyone have an idea why this happens?
I appreciate the help, many thanks
