antifreeze still leaking out of intake after typhoon install
as many of you allready know I got one of the new typhoon intakes and just recently supercharged my car and antifreeze is still pouring out of the passenger very rear head and dripping down on the header. I clamped all hoses and replaced the hose that runs through the middle of the block front to rear. has anyone had this problem and how can it be fixed. thanks for the help

RE: antifreeze still leaking out of intake after typhoon install
When you say leaking, is it POURING, or is it trickling??
Can you see where the coolant is coming out??
Did you possibly forget to connect one of the heater core hoses?? That's one of the few coolant lines back there..
What about your heads, are they original??

the leak is a drip and the more pressure the car builds up the faster it drips..I noticed alittle bubbling around the left rear of the intake and I beleive that is where it is coming from but I dont see why with all new stuff on their. what do you guys suggest.

maybe your coolant boss has corrosion. when i replaced my intake my front driver coolant boss had corrosion, had to use some jb-weld on my aluminum block =(
did you see it while it was all apart? sure you did, was the aluminum all smooth and shiney?
hopefully it just didnt seal proper, easy fix. is the gasket on the typhoon built in or seperate? maybe the typhoon intake is the culprit, and she cant create a perfect seal. hope you get r done.
is your old intake cracked? if not i would toss it on and see what happens if you keep getting problems after further investigation.
