Hey! It is a 2014. I didn’t know that. I’ll have to check into it. Thanks!

It is open headers, so yeah it doesn’t sound great. But, if you looked you can see the car is far from done- I’m driving with no windshield, after all. But, I have Borlas waiting for it.

Oh yeah! I’ve been fighting carb issues that came out of nowhere! I think, fingers crossed, I found the issue(s)

Oh whatever. Hahaha

@@LoganDidItYT I’m just messing around. This is so very cool!

@@Knownworldwide it was pretty cool! Well, Still is even sort of.

Yeah, we got some flooding, and then some more. Then, it’s been bone dry for a few weeks: it’s all over the place. I do need a better light setup- I’ll check and see what’s out there. But, after this video I started having some carb issues that I need to sort out. But, I’ll have some more burnouts soon… maybe in the Trans Am.

@@LoganDidItYT pics or no proof

Yep! Mine is a Bluetooth scanner and works great; only $30 on Amazon!

@@LoganDidItYT do you get all 250 hybrid PIDs in the live data view? If so that is a good deal.

This one uses an app and can link with any app. I use the free Car Scanner app and it does show all of it. The only thing it can’t show is the traction battery data (hybrid specific stuff), but Dr. Prius does and it’s free too.

@@nmbarton2701 I’ll be there too!

I doubt it’ll be the same pimp, but, if you’re experiencing similar issues it could be a similar problem with your Nissan. Check the EGR system and even a cheap code reader can go a long way to help you figure out what’s going on.

You’re right. It’s cheaper to do all the work and not go into crazy debt for a new car.

I will do one! There have been some changes to the car, but it’s better than ever.

@@LoganDidItYT I subscribed

Hey, thank you! I’ll get an update on the vette soon! I’m sure others are curious too.

Oh now… Haha. There are more already waiting to hit publish!

I did get a hybrid system warning with a low 12 volt before. But, my problems were a bit more involved than that- head gasket and water pump(s). It took a few water pumps to get a good one, but it’s been good for a while now.

Sometimes that’s the best solution: just get out from underneath the problem.

It could be that it needs bled, but they say these cars are self-bleeding systems. You can try putting it in maintenance mode (how to do this is in a few of my videos), let it run with the coolant cap off and heat all the way on high temp and high fan. Once the thermostat opens, if it wasn’t already open, you’ll see coolant suck down just keep adding coolant slowly. This may take a few fills. But, if you’re losing coolant and you don’t notice and telltale signs of it coming back out of the reservoir cap (this can happen with air pockets/not being bled), then I’d look elsewhere. If you don’t see any spots under your car, I’d check your oil. If it looks milky, that is where it’s going and it’s time for a head gasket.

@@LoganDidItYT no visible leaks and no oil contamination either. However when heater starts inside the car it makes some sounds water flow and maybe air. And when opening the coolant tank cap in the morning it has air pressure. And thanks for quick reply.

Then yeah, you have air trapped. So, just do the bleeding process (it could take about 30 minutes). Then, you should be good!

@@LoganDidItYT much appreciated it bro

The whirring sound seems a lot like it may be another bad water pump: if it’s coming the the passenger side area. Did you have a chance to thoroughly bleed the cooling system (they say they’re self-bleeding… but mine needed a little extra help). That whirring is similar to what your water pump sounds like when it intermittently has water then air pockets- it’s “starving” for liquid in this case. Even if it’s not overheating. You can remove the coolant tank cap, put the car into “maintenance mode” (Google how to do that), and start the car. While it’s running turn the AC off, turn heat temp all the way up and then on high fan too; after that, slowly pour in coolant. It may “burp” in this time and pull coolant down into the system. Keep adding to it until the system won’t take any more and it maintains the level marking on the side of the reservoir. Let it continue to run for about 30 minutes.

Hey! Well, it was a combination of things. My issues were the water pump and head gasket. A few things can cause the master warning though, so I’d suggest buying an inexpensive code reader and checking to see what comes back from that (I have a video on that too).

Nope not the fuel pump for this one. It was a combination of things: water pump then head gasket.

Maybe an hour if you’ve never done anything like it. Even then, it’s not hard. I’d say to those who’ve done something like this, 25 minutes is a good estimate.

That’s what I plan on doing! Well, at least for this first phase of it.

It’s still going! I will say the OEM Toyota branded pumps can be found cheaper now than when I did this.

Good! I’m glad you got it fixed. I basically had the same experience: cheap one died almost instantly.

Most likely you’re right. I’d go as far as to say stay clear of most of the 3rd gen Prius. They redesigned the heads on the 4th, so they got them to be a little more reliable. Mine had 120k miles when it first needed a head gasket, and the pumps are just weak design too.

@@LoganDidItYTdamn my dad’s Prius v is at 300k og engine, water pump, thermostat, and battery. Def time to replace them.

Awesome!! I’m glad to have helped!!

You’re right, Purple Heart! And, it’s interested you say that about the patina… you may want to watch the next video on it!

I’m pretty partial to it too. I may do that, or I may have already started the fixing….🤷🏻‍♂️

Definitely!

Haha. Hey, thanks for the info too. I saw a T and X but not sure what years those were offered…

@@LoganDidItYT a gsx400 was offered in the years before the 450. Not sure if that is what the X designation you’re referring to. There was a T model, I believe that one had standard rear springs and the front suspension is NOT air adjustable like the rest I think. Swapping over to the early 90s gsx-r forks is a bolt on affair. Gives you dual disc brakes and most do that anyway.

@@Knownworldwide that’s actually really cool. I haven’t dove too far into all those things for this bike yet. But, dang, I need to.

No way! It’s a fun little bike.

A handful for sure. Some have tried to trade other rare cars for it: one example is a Super Duty Trans Am.

After my personal experiences, I’d 100 agree.

I’ll have to go and look at that. Maybe the non-OEM ones don’t have any or it’s inadequate. That would definitely contribute to the shortened life I’ve seen first hand. Good catch!

By non-OEM are you referring to the cheap replacement pump or the AISIN supplied pump that has Toyota badging removed ?

It’s not really, really. Just time consuming if you’re not used to it. The hardest part is the exhaust manifold

🙏🙏

Haha. 💁🏻 and yeah, they made the convertibles a bit fancier!

For sure! It was a good race, it was just a cool grouping: 2 very different sleepers.

Hey, thanks!

Barryman, but that wasn’t the “fix”. That was only to clean out any residual junk. This car sat 9 years and we’ve gone through it working down a lot of little and semi-big issues. This is just a clip from the last video.

@@LoganDidItYT right on. Honestly, I’ve done the same thing… I guess I just assumed that was an attempt to fix it. A SeaFoam repair is right up there with the radiator leak repair fluid 😂😂

@@vc7493 oh yeah, I’ve used it before, but after tearing some engines down and seeing what’s left behind I won’t do it any more.

@@LoganDidItYT it is good if you wanna smoke out your shop 😆 Other than that… nope.

@@vc7493 haha. I definitely did. It was bad

LS swap it! Or did you get rid of that motor?

@@Knownworldwide I got rid of it. But… that’s always an option.

I never thought of doing that, I didn’t know you could buy just the impeller. Good info!!

@WeedmanSmokes805 what is the part number for the magnetic rotor part?

@@RoopsPhotomy bad it was one of the first ones that popped up on Amazon. It’s been about 24,000 miles still good 👍🏽

Yep! You’re right! Internally into the same too, which makes sense since they make them for Toyota!

Thanks! Haha

I’m glad it wasn’t more serious! But, I didn’t know they were covered “forever”- that’s awesome.

So what they fixed on your Prius, what was it???

If you’re asking me, it was a head gasket and water pump.

@@LoganDidItYT Well that sucks

​@@LoganDidItYTthey're, "covered forever"? That's why I just bought one from a guy who was told by the dealership that it would be $22,000 to fix. I got this sweet 2007 Yota High Hy for $700. Now trying to figure it out. Got it to say, "READY" but immediately the Check Hybrid System light turns back on. I'm thinking it just needs a GOOD new main battery. Nothing to do with the Hybrid stuff at all. What do you think?
