I've been fan of this channel for a long time, Almost 4 years. Saw those canyon runs and really liked the content so I subscribed. I was never a type of guy to comment or liked I just watched, seeing your content over these few years really helped me around cars as I am a licensed mechanic now. Thank your for every little tip you filmed and showed and I really hope you continue to do it and grow bigger.
For any AN fittings on the turbo or by the exhaust manifold I would run stainless fittings. They will be more tolerable to the heat than aluminum. The aluminum may crack or start leaking over time. Not to mention dissimilar metal corrosion (aluminum to steel). To get a good seal with the stainless fittings use conical seals. That is a common setup on jet engines. May be a little late to the party but thought it was worth mentioning.
You are the actual reason why I bought a miata (99). Sadly I can't boost it (emissions) but they sure are still fun! Thanks for the inspiration man, keep doing what you're doing!
Bruh......you're a God send.....by the time I get my Miata your videos will be a 100% done and anyone can just watch you and build a bad ass Miata from point A to B.....thank you for everything!
To help stop coking a tiny amount, you could fit a small electric water pump into the turbo lines and have it turn on for several mins once the ignition is turned off. They allow coolant flow when not running, but are mega reliable, so have it running while driving as well for a better flow. Range Rover superchargers have one running 24/7 while ignition is powered.
old video i know, but hopefully you see this. What did you do about the heater core hard line itself. I'm installing a similar setup with a kraken low mount manifold and that's the only issue i'm having with it.
Starting to think I have a small case of OCD bc seeing that one red oil return line bothers me when everything else has black AN fittings... lol. But the engine is coming together really nicely and it looks really good now that its painted properly too.
The AN lines. Noticed the end you put off the front you had to rotate the whole hose to fit. The other end you had that 90 which spun on itself. Question is I'm guessing you need one of those fittings on at least one end? Otherwise the hose will want to rotate which it won't. P.s love the black simple engine colour. 👍🏻
Hey Greg, I wanted to ask you why did you decide to run the feed to the inside (underneath the exhaust) and the return to the outside of the turbo? Would it not make sense to have it the other way around for shorter, neater lines? Also, make sure to get an imperial socket/spanner for the AN fittings since they are not really 18mm. It's mostly fine when you use a socket but a spanner will eventually ruin the hex.
+Kilimand It was a toss up which way to run the lines. I mocked it up both ways and liked this better, running the feed to the outside port left the line sticking out farther.
Because I'm sure Aidan won't whip up a coolant mixer housing and send it to Manchester is there any manufacturer that makes it as an after market part, Ps massive fan of the channel.
+Jack Daniels Hoping to see 300-320 on California water (91 octane) and to max out the turbo on E85 which should be in the 370-380 range. The real goal is maximum torque as early as possible and super fast spool, that's what makes a fun street car :)
Hi Greg, If you have welded up the old inlet port for the heater matrix return, I assume you are no longer running a heater? Do you have a re-route with the thermostat at the back of the engine? How do you let water circulate on warm-up before the thermostat is open? Keep the content coming. Your the best source of info on the mx5/miata on TH-cam. From one of the UK boys!
Yes I am still running a heater, I use a tee off the lower radiator hose to supply the heater core with water. Details here: www.thecarpassionchannel.com/vvt-cooling-system
For what reason do you use the highest inlet as the return and the lowest as feed? Is it just for fitment or is there any specific reason! Love the videos, the engine looks great!
Hi Greg! When you delete the heater core and all the associated line do you have to do anything else? I'm running the skid nation reroute and was hoping I can just remove all the lines and the core and weld up the mixing manifold hole and I'm good to go? I plan on running my low mount water supply exactly like you did in this video. I've read a lot of conflicting information online about once you delete it the thermostat doesn't up and the car never warms up etc. Just wanted to confirm you can delete it all with no I'll effects? Thanks in advance, Drew 🤙🏻
Greg, sweet build! Cant wait to see the finished project! Your vids are top notch. You say youbare a beginner, but from the vids id never guess it. Im a future owner myself.😎
Actually, I do enjoy the content a lot. Wish you could upload even more, even if some of them weren't so technical (don't mean to change the content tough!). Keep it up!
Question Sir. On the Coolant mod mix housing/re-route, could you use the new AN fitting to feed the turbo (cooled) and send the hot turbo coolant to the back of the engine at the rear coming out at the coolant re-route? This way you can fully block off the coolant out from the head. Your thoughts? I'm following your exploits as I am building my Exocet motor now. I'm using a good amount of your teachings as a solid base. I'd love to pick your brain from time to time. Take care and stay safe. C
Hi Really like the videos as just about to put a Garrett GT2860RS on my 2004 1.8 vvt You said that you have done a reroute for the cooling. Did you change the head gasket for an earlier one as I believe that to overcome the cooling problems on the vvt engine the restricted the flow to cylinders 1&2 Would also like to know which thermostat you fitted Thanks
Oh heck yeah, carne asada burritos, I went to school in SD and still miss Roberto's Taco Shop carne asada. So good at 2 am! What's your favorite place?
Are you going to run a heater core? I am thinking of using a 323 mixing manifold, but I have to come up with a solution for the heater core. I hate the pipe for the heater core under the exhaust manifold.
Could you do a video on the exhintake cam swap? I think it's extremely interesting but I can't really find any good tutorial on it... BTW I love your awesome videos👌🏻
I watch both your channels, I saw his shout out to you, I really love that you show your support by wearing his shirt! You guys are so awesome, makes me so happy to see youtubers do this. Great video man. I really like the new schedule. The two of you have inspired me to find a engine and do something with it! Maybe ill even make some videos, who knows. Keep up the good work man,
Any alternatives for water feed? I eliminated the water water neck with a block off plate. (skidnation reroute) Could I use the line that comes Off the throttlebody?
Max Herman Lots of trial and error, tons of reading, talking with people that know a lot more than I do, don't listen to just one person... And I paid my tuner to show me how to operate the dyno and coach me 😁. Lots of time invested but for me it's the only way I'd have it. Now I get to tune this motor from the ground up.
Still waiting for my burritos.
LOL
Nice
Need to start fabbing those pumps and selling them
Fake phone call. I want my money back!
Yoooo how much for one of this mixing valves

By far the most original build ever I can't wait to see dyno numbers
534 likes and 0 dislikes, yep that says it all... Keep doing work Greg!!

Wearing the competitions shirt I see haha
Street N Jeep Keep your friends closer and your rivals closer 😉 hunt & co shirt next video? BRING IT MILEY
Shoot, you should stomp on that thupidchurgur turd once this is done.
old video i know, but hopefully you see this. What did you do about the heater core hard line itself. I'm installing a similar setup with a kraken low mount manifold and that's the only issue i'm having with it.
Very clean result with the waterlines Greg! 👍
Can't wait to get the Focus ST sold off... then the parts extravaganza can begin on my NB ;) Will be interested to see how the EFR runs on this setup
I love how informative your videos are, they really helped me getting into cars especially my '91 Miata
Loving this build, the quality of work reminds me of Tom's Turbo Garage. Keep it up.
Such a high quality build. Just beautiful.
I can't wait to see this finished
Can't wait for this build to be done it looks so sick
That engine is looking great! Once you're finished with it, you're gonna have to slap a Peterbilt badge on the valve cover...lol.
Hahaha, I got the hookup on those at work too!
You deserve more subs fam
I just bought my rollbar and it's gonna be here tomorrow! These videos of yours are really making me want my turbo now!
xMidnight dude you have a minute to go, I was there once...
crimsoncreep26 Well seeing as how I had to service my baby a bit, that set me back again
slick work Greg, your setup looks so clean.

squareup.com/store/hawleyperformance/ Billet aluminum water pump inlet.
Hawley Performance makes a billet aluminum water inlet that is very nice but it is pricey.
Nolan thanks for the info $100 is no joke.
How much power are you expecting to get? Love the build, looks very clean I like the manifold. Keep up the good work!

If the heater core hardline port was welded shut, couldn't you have cut that out completely and made the mix housing even shorter?
Hi Greg, If you have welded up the old inlet port for the heater matrix return, I assume you are no longer running a heater? Do you have a re-route with the thermostat at the back of the engine? How do you let water circulate on warm-up before the thermostat is open? Keep the content coming. Your the best source of info on the mx5/miata on TH-cam. From one of the UK boys!
Yes I am still running a heater, I use a tee off the lower radiator hose to supply the heater core with water. Details here: www.thecarpassionchannel.com/vvt-cooling-system
I am so ready to see how much power this thing makes
knockdownupside It won't be a highway queen but once you see the torque curve you'll understand why 😁
Thw water actually will flow after the cars shut off since the turbo is hot, it keeps the coolant flowing.
Your content is gold. I'm getting a Miata soon and will be using these videos as a valuable reference. You da man!
For what reason do you use the highest inlet as the return and the lowest as feed? Is it just for fitment or is there any specific reason!
Love the videos, the engine looks great!
David I guess because hot water always goes to the top so you want to get out the hot water not the cold
+David To make sure any air bubbles flow out of the CHRA instead of getting trapped :)
cant wait for this build to be done you should do something to change up the exterior like paint before dropping in the new motor
BLOOPERS were mad cool
I am enjoying TF out of double upload

Loved the bloopers at the end 'oh whaaaat'
I'm a simple man. When I see CPC, I hit that like
best build ever.
Why not run your water lines inline with your heater core instead of going through the water jacket in your engine block?
Greg thank you for your invaluable instruct. Could you please advise what red stuff you are applying to the AN fitting before connection?
Loving the frequent uploads!!
Awesome! Gonna do same on my 1.6 when i get to feeding the turbo :) Thanks for the vid.
Greg, sweet build! Cant wait to see the finished project! Your vids are top notch. You say youbare a beginner, but from the vids id never guess it. Im a future owner myself.😎
Absolute Fecking Art! Well done Greg, you should put a kit of all the new parts together and sell them for a nice profit! ;-)
love the gingium shirt. hope he wears yours in his new videos.
I wonder how much more heat does the turbo introduce in the water system?
@ thecarpassionchannel do you plan on running even's waterless coolent on this build??
Really enjoying the build, thanks!
Actually, I do enjoy the content a lot. Wish you could upload even more, even if some of them weren't so technical (don't mean to change the content tough!). Keep it up!
I'm like McDonald's with this content parapapapa I'm loving it
Setup is looking good.

Yep, as long as coolant is flowing it's all good
your videos are always savage. Thanks Greg!!!
Nice of you to pity lesser miatas with that shirt
I'm excited for end of this month!!
sipping my tea. 1 like from me all day.
Loving more uploads!
Hi
Really like the videos as just about to put a Garrett GT2860RS on my 2004 1.8 vvt
You said that you have done a reroute for the cooling. Did you change the head gasket for an earlier one as I believe that to overcome the cooling problems on the vvt engine the restricted the flow to cylinders 1&2
Would also like to know which thermostat you fitted
Thanks
Nigel Kearney Yes I have a 99-00 head gasket, and I run a 180° thermostat
Love the content please keep it up!!🔥Your hard work is appreciated!
no more heater core? or are you gonna tap the feed from somewhere else?
Lovin the vid man! Very helpful for me with with my miata build !
Hey man I just finished my turbo 350z. Lmk if you'd ever be down to meet up in OC or me come down with some dudes to SD
Your house is nice and clean!
It's looking Awesome! Damn good content! Keep it rolling! 👍👍
I like the double upload!
wouldn't it be better to have the turbo water out be connected before the water goes through the radiator?
great video as always dude, thanks for everything and being so nice. I see that shirt hahaha
I know this is old but do you know if he actually sells the Miata coolant mix housing fabbed up?
*chukibeats!*
Oh heck yeah, carne asada burritos, I went to school in SD and still miss Roberto's Taco Shop carne asada. So good at 2 am! What's your favorite place?
OGpedxing So many good places... Tacos El Gordo, Lucha Libre, Baja Betty's, Casa De Pico, Taqueria Imperial, Vallarta Express..... Too many to list
Is it me.... or are there crickets in the background making a concert?! ^^
How is it going to fit in with the steering column? Will the tubo be in the way?
+MyDinosaurz The manifold was custom built in a Miata with the steering column in place so it will all fit 👍
How did it work out to have that water feed line so close to the manifold (almost touching?) ?
Are you going to run a heater core? I am thinking of using a 323 mixing manifold, but I have to come up with a solution for the heater core. I hate the pipe for the heater core under the exhaust manifold.
aDaWaN Yes, I am a baby and must have a heater 😅
OK, curious to know how you are going to plumb in your heater output then! I will keep watching your videos to find out :)
Could you do a video on the exhintake cam swap?
I think it's extremely interesting but I can't really find any good tutorial on it...
BTW I love your awesome videos👌🏻
+Fey Fox I really want to do a video on that, as soon as I find a donor car I hope to do a back to back dyno for the swap.
That would be extremely awesome!! I could lend you my car... but I'm from germany so that ain't happening I guess :D :D :D
Where to find a turbo manifold like that?
how did you hook the vacuum line up for the brake booster?
What was that red stuff you put on the an fitting?
put a heat sleeve on your coolant feed line, its too close to the exhaust manifold
I watch both your channels, I saw his shout out to you, I really love that you show your support by wearing his shirt! You guys are so awesome, makes me so happy to see youtubers do this. Great video man. I really like the new schedule. The two of you have inspired me to find a engine and do something with it! Maybe ill even make some videos, who knows. Keep up the good work man,
Greg , weird question but wtf are you dailying right now?
+Omamori Media My GF and I share an X5 and we also driver her 330Ci 👍
Any alternatives for water feed? I eliminated the water water neck with a block off plate. (skidnation reroute) Could I use the line that comes Off the throttlebody?
How did you learn how to tune?
Max Herman Lots of trial and error, tons of reading, talking with people that know a lot more than I do, don't listen to just one person... And I paid my tuner to show me how to operate the dyno and coach me 😁. Lots of time invested but for me it's the only way I'd have it. Now I get to tune this motor from the ground up.
when I did my water lines on my turbo car, I just "TEE'D" into the heater core lines.
Looking to buy parts for my NA.. any online websites suggestions that have good parts ?
Heatwrap your headers
Sup greg! Nice one again !
is it possible to buy that housing?
Always great dude!
We need more vids
Great video! 👍👍
Overnight burritos :D
Hey Greg, What happens with the heater hose line now that it's gone?
I'll be running the heater lines different from factory :)
Nice I can't wait to see how you reroute it! Love the videos!
Where do you return your heater core hose to?
Routing is just like stock, the only difference is I tee off the lower radiator hose instead of having the line that hooks up to the mixing manifold
@@TheCarPassionChannel thanks for the reply. So you run a long hose from bottom rad hose to the firewall? Do you run that down the chassis leg?
What's the main reason for bottom mounting?
The biggest advantages are the downpipe being straighter. I'd like to think it helps keep heat out of the bay too but not really sure on that
>Side/bottom mount turbo == nothing fits
Welcome to any Z32 TT owners' little slice of hell :)
Andrew Ford I've wrenched on about 20-25 Z32 TT's and have owned 3 Z32's... I know your pain brother. Miatas are like easy mode 😅
Once you've owned Z32 TT, everything is easy mode (unless you buy a porsche/Ferrari)
Cool!!
