Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
yeah definitely have a vac leak car went into low engine power mode 20 times today in traffic and sometimes sounds like a squirrel when idling. looks like its hitting 900+ rpm and that's triggering the low engine power mode ill be picking up that pump from harbor freight and some fat cigars and then finding this leak
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
Alright everyone great news vac leak was a ****ty jb weld I did to block off the exhaust gas port cant remember what it's ended up grabing a plug at menards and using some liquid nail and it sealed it right up also figured out my intercooler pump is working great and I had just the right amount of fluid to properly fill the system in letting the rubber cemet fully dry before I run the car but all should be well had to cut a hole in the fuse box cover as it was clashing with my add a fuse but that was probably the biggest problem of the day crazy I was this close and thinking of giving up couldn't have done it without you guys👍👍👍
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
great to hear, now go flog the car.
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
Nice. And give her all the timing.
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
been driving it runs smooth but my pump only stayed on for about a min yesterday and I haven't heard it since:( did I get a bad pump off facebook is there an easy way to tell?
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
wiggle the plug, if it comes to life. get back to it, and solder the wires right to the tabs on the pump. the plug is a known POS.

Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
i also cut the plastic off so i could get to the tabs there.
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
Okay I will look at that first although it didnt seem like it cutout out seemed like it slowly got weaker then stopped
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
wiggled the connector never turned on and relay is clicking on and off like it should. this will be the last thing I ever buy used lol everyone is selling me broken parts and its litteraly cost me more time and money then if I just bought new and of course this guy got it from someone else and sold it so it'll be a huge hassle getting refunded for the stuff. so I might just cut my losses and get a new pump from zzp:th_shakinghead2:
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
you can get that same pump much cheaper off ebay.
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
I got it pretty cheap on amazon plus prime shipping thanks for the input though was going to ask a better place to buy if I didn't see it on amazon
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
hopefully a new pump fixes your problem
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
im sure something else will go to haha but im right there pump should come today or tomorrow but probably wont have time to touch the car till next weekend
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
you can drive it with out the pump working.
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
Yea I know lol ive been driving it without the pump but I just took out the pump and found this happened to the pig tail after maybe 20 mins combined of this this being on most of it being short 30 sec intervals whats the issue here? This is a brand new pigtail and its fried suprised a fire didnt happen and also seems that it melted some of the 14 gauge wire I'm assuming this means bad pump but I cant imagine it would completly maul this thing in 20 mins on the pump running I did drive the car around for a week though but the pump was obviously dead so I assume it wouldnt have melted throughout the week?Shared album - Thomas Zerilli - Google Photos
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
i think you need to double check the relay set up. dotn think the pump would melt the wires up like that.
run 12 volts off the battery right to the pump, see if it comes to life.
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
Both the pump and connector seem to be in perfect condition just the wires completely melted did I wire this wrong?
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
something dont seem right. mines been perfect for 3 years now. never had a melt down. only issue was the plug causing the pump to turn off. so i soldered the wires right to the pump.
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
Yea pump is fried hooked it up to my battery and nothing did the same thing to the new pump 2 sec after and it jumped in the air haha
Re: intercooler budget build shortstack
Old pump was also made in 2010 if that makes it not working sound more believable😭
