2 Questions: 1 About Overheating, 1 About HeadUnit Adaptor

Alright...., hose clamps. I just drove my supra for the first time the other day and are taking a break from it before tweakage.

During the test drive I blew a coolant line. The one on the back of the head straight down the galley.

I coasted into a buddies place and tightened it up. I had burnt coolant from hitting the block. Coming in through the vents. When I got home.

My low coolant light came on so. I topped it and now it needs a burp.

But hose clamps...., I noticed while reving the engine from under the hood.
That I had a few coolant lines that would spit high pressure streams. At high rpm's. It has to be because the stock clamps are weak. So I have to flush and worm clamp the entire coolant system.

Just something to think about during your build.

Right now it will over heat if you have to much coolant and not enough water.
So I would flush and any other maintenance in that area. Fill with 50/50.

Get it's head in the game and see what it does and we can go from there.

Ofcourse if anyone disagrees with this now would be a good time to chime in.
