rian Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) According to the Protex catalogue, the AE86 4AGE (rwd) waterpump is the same as the AE82 4AGE (fwd) waterpump. Although the rollaclub FAQ/Wiki says they are different and it depends on which fan you are running.

Spencer[RL] Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Offset meaning pulley size ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhmills Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Offset meaning pulley size ? No, offset like the rims. Positive and negative; towards and away from the water pump. It will determine whether your pulleys line up or not. You shouldn't have to change it if you get a new pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer[RL] Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Oh yea understable . Won't know what exactly it is till I get in there and check it out . All I can see is coolant pissing out the bottom of the timing cover . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhmills Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 On my 4AC I literally managed to split clean in half, have no idea how it happened but it did. That is the same water pump as a 4AGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twincam16seca Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 hey spence i found the paint codes for the mazda mps range, they have very nice paint and look so good in the sun! velocity red, snow flake white pearl or aurora blue are nice, but I think its nice to keep it the basic original colour but with a slight twist/variation, as yours is white I'd go for the snow white pearl or crystal white pearl metallic, google the colours and check them out! 3 MPS colours: Gen 1: Cosmic Blue - 34M Aurora Blue - 34J True Red - A4A Black Mica - 16W Metro Grey - 36C Gen 2: Celestial Blue - 38J Velocity Red - 27A Black Mica - 16W Aluminium Metallic - 38P Crystal White Pearl Metallic - 34K (soon we hope) 6 MPS colours: Velocity Red -27A Black Mica - 16W Titanium Grey - 30B Snow Flake White Pearl - 25D (requires a pearl tint) Radiant Ebony - 28W Liquid Silver - 30S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJT036 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Dad mixes paint everyday, and he says the Lexus Pearl White is an awesome colour. It's a 3-layer pearl colour too. Looks great under the sunlight. If not white, I'd vote for another candidate: Voodoo Blue from the VE SV6/SS, and Cruze. Awesome colour. :yes: But at the end of the day, it's your car. The colour choice is all up to you. :) Josh :cool: Edited May 1, 2012 by JJT036 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer[RL] Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 My car cock blocked me by over heating last night and pissing water through my made up water pump gasket ! I'm getting a proper gasket today tho . When I purchased the car the guy pointed out that I should change the 1.1 bar radiator cap to a 0.9 cap .. Does that make a huge difference ?

rian Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) When I purchased the car the guy pointed out that I should change the 1.1 bar radiator cap to a 0.9 cap .. Does that make a huge difference ? Pretty sure it just means it the coolant will have a higher boiling point with the 1.1 bar cap than the 0.9 bar cap. I'm not sure that it would make that much of a difference in pressure on your cooling system. 1 bar = ~15psi 0.2 bar = ~3psi So I guess that means a 3psi increase on your cooling system, unless I'm missing something? I can't really see 3psi making that much of a difference on the boiling point, but it should be a bit higher than that of the 0.9 bar cap. I'd say it's more likely you lost pressure through the leak in the water pump and the drop in pressure caused it to boil, or the fact that you lost all your coolant :o Edited May 2, 2012 by rian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer[RL] Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Well Reed pointed out that factory pressure for the cooling system is between 0.3-0.9 , 0.9 being max . 3 psi is quite a lot over what factory have recommend hence possible why my water pump gasket failed in the first place. Does anyone know what rating the standard factory radiator cap is? Edit : My fan is dismal at best , has no shroud and is about 100mm away from the back of the rad .

Spencer[RL] Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I'm hating this car right now . It dropped all it's coolant on the way home from work yesterday because the O-ring on the rear water pump housing was dead and checked thermostat also which was dead as well . So I replaced the o-ring and left the thermostat out and put everything back . Now car won't start !! It's was very hot when I got it home yesterday and having started since . It turns over and there smell of Unburnt fuel in the engine bay . I didn't touch anything electrical or what not when taking the water pump rear housing off . I'm thinking spark plugs ?? Any suggestions ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
