Well I go and try to do my exhaust myself and notice oil everywhere on the bottom. The belt has cut the return hose from the blower to motor almost in half . What size is this hose? And what kind of hose will I have to buy?

---One problem after another........

 

If you mean the main oil return line from the SC to the engine oil pan, then the parts list calls it -4 Braided line w/ fittings.

Here's a 6ft -4 AN stainless steel braided oil line from Summit Racing:

thats the oil feed into the blower... the return hose is a stillen modified nissan hose... delio has some specs on that and matt used regular hose, i think.

 

Fixed it. Used regular heat treated hose. It took me 8 hours to uninstall the blower and go to parts store and come home and eat and put it all back together the right way and uninstall the nissan cat back and install my cat back and test pipe(all by myself).I think I made pretty good time for what all I did. Ill post pics of the messed up hose tomorrow. The exhaust sounds GREAT! I love it when its just idling, got a rumble to it. Not loud crusing either. Test pipe+Greddy sp cat-back. Its only loud at low RPMS. wierd i know, but I like it.

Note to everyone: DONT BUY A S/C IF YOU ARE AUTO OR YOU DONT HAVE ANY PATIENCE!!!! This whole S/C thing has taught me alot of things. Mainly patience.

 

Add to that warning: don't buy an S/C unless you have money or the skills to DIY!!!

 

Why's that?

 

He just blew his auto tranny. Don't blame it on the SC! Blame it on lead-foot.

 

Then why would you buy one in the first place if not for speed? You spend 3g's for looks?

 

Careful, you're treading on some people's toes with that comment!

No, you buy the SC for speed, but you don't drop the hammer at every light and burn out your transmission. I'm not blaming you for it, but the SC isn't the cause of the problem, it's your driving style. Some of us have SCs with auto transmissions and we haven't had problems (knock on wood).

 

quit fighting! Boost is addicting, now he will need to go to lead foot rehab, you think is bad now wait til this summer and you do a 5 speed swap

 

Thats what I'm talking about!!!!!

 

For all that money i would have done the 5speed conversion while you were at it. I knew my auto tranny was gonna go so i did just that.

 

This summer I will when school is not in. No biggie.......

 

So how many weeks/months passed before the tranny blew up? I'm just curious...

 

Check his "auto gone" thread for all the details. He said he had the SC for 3K miles, not sure how many weeks though .

 

Its was put on Dec. 16th. I am glad to see everybody is all caring about my tranny.....I cant wait till this summer......SHIFT_5spd!!!!!!
