Installing a paxton novi 2200.

[KalEl370]

Well it's terrifying. 1st and 2nd rev like I lave the clutch engaged from 4000 to 7500 under anything over 1/2 throttle.

Definitely going to have to get some slicks and friendlier gears than 3.73s for the track.

All in all, it's perfect.

Sweet! Kind of scary and fun at the same time eh? Congrats and enjoy!

Words of advice. Doublecheck your Coolant hose clamps on the hose that was extended and rerouted. I had one come off today and dump all my coolant in 2 seconds. Was stuck at the side of the road for an hour.

I need wider tires. Mine break loose at the top of 3rd. 1st and 2nd a a joke now.

I've lost my coolant too, but for a different reason and your story reminded me of it. I was going to my nephew's birthday party about 10 miles from my house and about 1 block before I arrive my car starts to overheat and I smell coolant. I immediately pulled over and called my bro in law and while talking to him a rabbit pops out of the engine! I hang up with him because I got to get a pic before he runs off. I can't believe he survived the trip. It looks like he was hiding in the valley under the Boss intake and when he tried to get out, he popped off a coolant hose. I reconnected the hose, filled the coolant back up and all was fine.

Haha smart rabbit! He knew how to get you to stop. I have a very slow coolant leak. Everything is pointing toward it coming from the plastic reservoir but I can't find the spot it's coming from on the tank.

More than likely it's coming from the reservoir tank. Mine leaked from the front seam. I replaced it with the Canton aluminum tank. JPC sells one as well but it's about 50 bucks more. I paid $149 for the Canton. I would replace it if I were you, for one, it looks better and also for piece of mind.

 

[Kenaizer]

Ok thanks I think I will. Did the Canton one mount in the same spot as the plastic one? I was hoping to be able to keep my strut tower brace on and remove the cap.

 

[beefcake]

the jpc and the canton both replace the stock tank, in the stock place.

cap is in the same place as well

This. Small price to pay for a much better tank and piece of mind.

 

[Kenaizer]

Ok where are you guys finding the Canton one? I couldn't find it at the typical vendors sites.

 

[Kaane]

Summit sells it I think.

 

[KalEl370]

It's this one.

It says 05-09, but it fits the 11-13 as well. I believe Summit and Jeg's sells them also.

Yeah replace that resvoir tank...best thing i did ...looks great and is way more functional than the plastic piece of shit that comes with the kits

 

[Wnt2gofst]

I had the plastic one came with kit. It leaked. Paxton sent me a new tank it leaked. They sent a 3rd tank. And it leaked as well. So I went on summit and ordered one. Used high temp paint to make it black.

Knock on wood mine isnt leaking.. YET ! haha! I'll be ordering a metal one soon. First I have to get the dang car tuned. Supposed to take it to the shop thursday morning to have it done. Hopefully my work schedule doesnt screw me up, because if I cant get it done thursday it'll have to wait till late next week.

So are all of you not happy with the canned vortech tune? I was considering using it for awhile until I figured out who I was gonna get to do a custom, and was hoping it was gonna be an easy DD tune thats nice and safe for the time being.

From what I have seen is its a very safe tune. Its fine for DD but it leaves a lot power on the table.

Lund has a great safe tune for the vortech ... mine has been great ..wasnt going for max power wanted a good safe daily 93 octane tune when i had mine installed. Its been super reliable and plenty of power for a daily street car
