Adam LZ I wanted to add, keep improving your handwork techniques bro. I see your progress. The Japan trip was much needed. You have improved your adaptability and sheer skill! 👍😊👌
Try a vacuum purge refill kit when filling your coolant system, we use one all the time at work when we've changed radiators, they get rid of all most all the air locks straight away, much better than manually bleeding.
Adam has changed me as a person, i used to only support his bmx side (i started watching from the first webisode) now i always look forwad to car vids its so sick. Also keep up the work Adam.
I'm not sure since you didn't show entire process, but when I refill radiator I've heard it's essential to keep topping it up to brim, otherwise bubbles form inside the radiator... Can't let it fall below brim.... Love your Bmw
Hey adam! Lisle makes a "spill free" funnel you can get that locks on to the top of the radiator and will bleed it as you fill. They're a friggin godsend. Its about $20 on amazon prime. I used it on my toyota 3f-e when i did a water pump. Very, very handy item
Adam you should look into getting a vacuum bleeding system for the collant, they are the best things ever and so easy to use, all you need any kind of air line, doesnt need to be strong
Adam LZ Now that you don't use the handbrake as much, I am excited to see the efficiency in your driving (drifting) Also, your track lines are improving man! 👍👍👍😤👌
For Nicole's 240 buy an air purge kit. I have had 6 cars that are extremely picky on being bled and will overheat if you don't get the system pretty much 100% purged. It is a little pricey at around $120 but with all the cars you have worth it, look up UVIEW 550000 and it will be a life saver.
was that water in the radiator? Coolant does cool just a little better, its not there only as an anti-freeze, it pressurizes differently, and that pressure also aids in cooling. And some compositions also are designed to exchange energy faster too. Another thing it does, it helps prevent deposits like minerals, rust etc, which slow the passage of the coolant, also making it just a little hotter as well. I use water just long enough to reach operating temp, and pressurize to check for leaks and to make sure the thermostat opens n fans turn on. After that it gets drained and filled properly. Doing it that way helps to flush out stuff. But you dont want to use 50/50 entirely, there will be some water left over throwing off the ratio, fill it mostly, get it stirred up and test it, use the final jug to adjust the mixture.
Hey adam, im having the same over heating problem as Nicole, But i have a rb25det. Im using a mishimoto rad, and 2 puller fans. i have a 50/50 base of coolant and water wetter. i have bled the coolant multiple times but nothing has changed. I was thinking about buying a custom front bumper with a bigger opening to allow more air flow. You should give it a try to see if it would help.
you need to check the head for condition underneath. its always the top that looks alright but the bottom. need to check for cracks, straightness, no valves damaged, no face damage and etc.
I'm so glad you realized that wearing gloves is smart. I feel like sometime in their early 20s, every mechanic suddenly gets it. Not wearing gloves is just stupid.
Especially in a warmer environment, you should run at least a small amount of radiator fluid mixture, it raises the boiling temps so that you dont get the boil over, once the water gets hot enough(even under pressure or the cooling system) it will boil creating Air pockets that it struggles to flow through, making the engine run even hotter, and basically starts a chain reaction if you dont shut down quickly. Distilled water boils at 212 degrees where as a 50/50 ethylene glycol mixture(typical radiator fluid) boils at around 223 degrees, both of which are even higher when under the pressure of a cooling system.
Adam you should vacuum fill your cooling system to ensure all the air is out. Letting some cars self bleed doesn't work because the heater matrix can be hard to fill due to the position. Invest in a vacuume bleeder.
park on a hill and have the front end up high when u burp the coolant.. or jack it up, put it on ramps.. sometimes it works so much easier, all the air moves to the highest point. . I've done this with many vehicles and it works good
Adam , Use Toyota Red Coolant + destilled water + wetter water ,Upgrade mishimoto or TRD Racing thermostatst, upgrade Bigger fans aleast both up to 2800 Cfm and also add a Radiatior breather tank - my track days are 200F Solid on my JX100.
it's easy to forget how important it is to breathe. I forget to do that often which leads to frustration and an overactive mind. relax and keep the great work up!
Yo, Adam… there was, in fact, a V4 Engine for Cars (apart from all the V4s built for Motorcycles); it was built by Ford in Cologne, Germany (you‘ve been there, right?!). That Motor was so dependable, it was also put in other cars like, i.e. the Swedish Saab 98. Greetings from Germany, Mike.
Adam, you have to run coolant in a radiator. You can't run just water! Antifreeze increases the boiling point of the water. When water boils, it loses its cooling properties. Run a proper coolant mixture and you'll be all good brother!
Nicole wants a puppy but doesn't want the obligations of looking after it.. Good call. I got a puppy last week and he barks all night, cries to get into my bed and cries for food then he pisses all over the floor and i spend my nights cleaning up after him at like 4:00am whenever I have a 13 hour work shift starting at 6:00am.. Seriously, puppies really start loose their cuteness after you get up and step in a puddle of piss beside your bed.
Shona Trust me man, i bought a maltese and the first 3 months i was thinking about giving it to someone else. But when she turned 4 months old (8 months old now) she just became so much smarter. She is now a happy puppy with a happy owner. All your puppy needs is to grow up.
Fanis S13 My puppy is a Border Terrier, he's only 4 weeks old. I had him for one night and felt like letting someone else have him, how am I gonna cope with another 3 months haha.
Shona Lol. Good luck! Trust me, when he is trained, it will be one of the best decisions you will have ever done (at least for me). You are not gonna regret it
Anthony Carther he's trying to be educational he just not the professor yet, for instance, when you put your cooling system under pressure it raises the boiling point.
Rustytruck 69 right, I understand that completely. but that also is the learning process. as for now he is learning the ropes. what to do what not to do ect.
I have a 2.35L sr20det with a stroker kit from k1, sleeved by darton 90mm bore and 11:1 compression. Ill make you a great deal... Its never been started.
Darn! I just got a block that doesn't have a head and it would have been really nice to get that head and turbo. especially cause I was planning on putting in that cam and valve package, :( I went to Tampa to get it too. Lol.
I don't expect anyone to reply. I own a 97 eclipse with 178k miles on it. I love the car. Would an engine rebuild even be worth it? Also a turbo for the car?
If your coolant is struggling to bleed, put your front end of your car on the lift and send it up to around knee height, with the handbrake on as high possible obviously so it doesn't roll off, it will force the coolant through, top tip.
as I have said millions of times before, using water, distilled or not as coolant is risking your engine even more so if you are down south where it is very hot or obviously up north where it is very cold. there is a reason car dealers in LA sell their cars with coolant instead of water. always use 50/50 mixture using water and ethylene glycol. the boiling point will go up 223°F instead of 212°F, and lowers significantly the risk of vapor forming inside the cooling system on top of that water will rust pretty much any metal it comes into contact with over time. funny too see people spend thousands of dollars to then cheap out on the most basic things. P.S. your sr20det head is toasted, most likely twisted when your engine blew. cams look alright.
well no it wont but the boiling point is still 212. I was saying that in case anyone was running tap water I know a lot of people do. its just a friendly advise, 50/50 mix of water and ethylene glycol is what you should be using as coolant if you care about your car, or if you're having overheating issues to the point where the water is boiling like nicole's car in the video.
Put the front on ramps. This will put the radiator at the highest point. It will bleed air bubble better. Another shot would be to use compressed air. Disconnect the heater core lines, then blow them out.
FYI water under pressure has a higher (not lower) boiling point... containing pressure would not cause water to boil when it did not boil while not under pressure
I would love to buy the turbo set up, I live in California and would pay for all shipping charges as well. I need to replace my stock t25 and no one is selling 28's right now.
LSX StreetCars I'm not sure what tone you're using, but you can't sell used parts for more than 50-70% of new cost. I always open at 40% of "new" when I'm buying used car parts, because you can never know for sure what the condition/history is. He's not giving things away, he selling them for as much as their worth.
LSX StreetCars Ah good. If Adam wanted to "get rich" off of his blown motor, he'd sell the manifolds and turbo, then make a coffee take out of the block and raffle it away, 1$ a ticket and he'd probably sell 2-5k.
Also I am happy for your channel and how far it's come I have been watching the videos for a while I just didn't want to subscribe because I don't know or understand the purpose so I subscribed finally. Cheers
I'll buy the turbo set up!
Lowcals get this to top comment
Hit me up on twitter!
sounds like a good excuse to hook up with lowcals! That'd be a sick collab
Messaged you instagram, don't have twitter. @davidasap
Lowcals ay lowcals luv ur vids
Good to see you back home man. Stoked to see the 240 tomorrow.
Ugh, I miss the Cream 240. I can't wait to see what color it is! I also can't wait to see the 2JZ progress.
Adam LZ I wanted to add, keep improving your handwork techniques bro. I see your progress. The Japan trip was much needed. You have improved your adaptability and sheer skill! 👍😊👌
would it not have been worth keeping the tubro as an upgrade for the 1JZ if nicole ever wanted more power?
I'd use a different turbo setup for the 1JZ :)
Adam LZ or put it in the miata
youd use something bigger than a 2871 if youre upgrading the 1j
theyre great on sr but a bit small on 6 cyl
1jz + GTX3582 on 20psi would probably bet high 400s at the wheels. Maybe...I just made that up
3582 are rated for like 500 or something
you get 400's out of 30's on sr's

6:44 Adam's torso smiled at me... I feel blessed
I'm not sure since you didn't show entire process, but when I refill radiator I've heard it's essential to keep topping it up to brim, otherwise bubbles form inside the radiator... Can't let it fall below brim.... Love your Bmw

When is the 240 going to be done?
this friday, so probably video tomorrow
Got word that it might not be done until Saturday now... So we'll see about upload date
Adam LZ Hey dude keep it up!
take the time it needs, not everything depends on pleasing the internet :P
Jack Mcgaha h
hey adam, why don't you do an engine block coffee table? that would be sick!
Give that man a medal ^^
this x100
yes!
like the one on top gear!
yasss
Danon Morey for your gameroom
Great post. Honest and transparent, but still with great car content. Perfect combination of car show and daily life vlog.
Use That Turbo for The Miata.
Voia I thought there was a hair on my screen but it's your profile picture
Hahaha, ikr. Even tried rubbing it off xD
Andries Fourie I tried to blow it off lmao
Adam you should look into getting a vacuum bleeding system for the collant, they are the best things ever and so easy to use, all you need any kind of air line, doesnt need to be strong
The tube you're referring to in the external waste gate is called a screamer pipe.
Adam LZ Now that you don't use the handbrake as much, I am excited to see the efficiency in your driving (drifting) Also, your track lines are improving man! 👍👍👍😤👌
For Nicole's 240 buy an air purge kit. I have had 6 cars that are extremely picky on being bled and will overheat if you don't get the system pretty much 100% purged. It is a little pricey at around $120 but with all the cars you have worth it, look up UVIEW 550000 and it will be a life saver.

miss your Japan vlogs😭
Hey adam, im having the same over heating problem as Nicole, But i have a rb25det. Im using a mishimoto rad, and 2 puller fans. i have a 50/50 base of coolant and water wetter. i have bled the coolant multiple times but nothing has changed. I was thinking about buying a custom front bumper with a bigger opening to allow more air flow. You should give it a try to see if it would help.
Problem in the head gasket, check if the water is actually boiling or rather the gallerys are blocked.
you need to check the head for condition underneath. its always the top that looks alright but the bottom. need to check for cracks, straightness, no valves damaged, no face damage and etc.
I'm so glad you realized that wearing gloves is smart. I feel like sometime in their early 20s, every mechanic suddenly gets it. Not wearing gloves is just stupid.

are you using the correct mix if antifreeze / coolant and distilled water? big thumbs up for using distilled water. hope it gets resolved
Adam you should vacuum fill your cooling system to ensure all the air is out. Letting some cars self bleed doesn't work because the heater matrix can be hard to fill due to the position. Invest in a vacuume bleeder.
My boy Tim bought the motor from you and now I’m about to finish the top end rebuild for it soon
park on a hill and have the front end up high when u burp the coolant.. or jack it up, put it on ramps.. sometimes it works so much easier, all the air moves to the highest point. . I've done this with many vehicles and it works good
Once you take out your Sr and put the 2j in you should put that Sr in the Miata that'll be dope as, love your videos man!

it's easy to forget how important it is to breathe. I forget to do that often which leads to frustration and an overactive mind. relax and keep the great work up!
Leave the thermostat in.. it slows the water flow to alow the coolent to cool in the radiator
where is bert????

Michael S I know that but the puppies mother rejected him so I have to take care of him now.
i felt so overwhelmed when i first got my puppy (pfp), wait like 2 months, life gets easier, the dog gets smarter, and it becomes fun, not a task
When you pulled that oil line from the turbo on the block it was leaking straight fuel @adamlz
I've never been this early for an Adam LZ video
am I the only one who enjoys his more educational vids?
Anthony Carther Nope
Anthony Carther sadly a lot of the time he's wrong about what he says
Anthony Carther it's great. it's like I'm going to anatomy for mechanics and "gear heads"
Anthony Carther he's trying to be educational he just not the professor yet, for instance, when you put your cooling system under pressure it raises the boiling point.
Rustytruck 69 right, I understand that completely. but that also is the learning process. as for now he is learning the ropes. what to do what not to do ect.
Keep the block and made a table from it and the pistons. I did with an old engine I had turned out great.
I have a 2.35L sr20det with a stroker kit from k1, sleeved by darton 90mm bore and 11:1 compression. Ill make you a great deal... Its never been started.
Adam u should turbo the miata with Nicole's old engine turbo
Awesome vid Adam hopefully sometime il get to meet u !!!!
Darn! I just got a block that doesn't have a head and it would have been really nice to get that head and turbo. especially cause I was planning on putting in that cam and valve package, :( I went to Tampa to get it too. Lol.
try running the heat while bleeding it, the heater core will sometimes have air bubbles trapped in it
I don't expect anyone to reply. I own a 97 eclipse with 178k miles on it. I love the car. Would an engine rebuild even be worth it? Also a turbo for the car?
Nichole's ending comments always either throw me for a loop or crack me up.
was talking to my daughter wednesday saw a pic of you and her boyfriend back when you lived in conn having a little bmx ride
dude...compression tester is your bestest friend
also putting it in neutral will slightly help the over heating.
If your coolant is struggling to bleed, put your front end of your car on the lift and send it up to around knee height, with the handbrake on as high possible obviously so it doesn't roll off, it will force the coolant through, top tip.
Do you jack the front of the car up when trying to bleed the coolant?
of course!
Heaters on full?
Adam LZ try a air lift pump for coolant systems. No air bubbles and checks for leaks win win.
I had a ka for the longest time. There alright motors but hard to get rid of, the sr20 is the best 4 cyl motor i think
Hey what Kind of tool is it you are using for The bolts Its used at 1:20.
if it is a impackt what W is it? ( new to this kind of stuf:)
getting your engine hydrolocked gets your internals mad clean!
You know where to list them :)
another quality video from the Lzfam
@adamlz hey mate if you can jack Nicole's car up so the radiator cap is higher than all the hoses you will be able to bleed the coolant easier 👍
Great content as always any news on the truck?
I see you still have my box of parts in the garage!
You guys back together now? Hope all is going well🤙🏻
Was that an oddessyFAB external Watergate mod? If yes, how was the response of the gate in the cast manifold.

half way through the video... now i get the notification

Adam that wasn't a Cresant wrench.
it can be whatever it wants to be
sandiegobenjamin DID U JUST ASSUME THE DAM THINGS GENDER!!!!
i don't think so. Although wrenches do have a male and female end.
Croissant wrench?
True that! watch u everyday. that's not gonna change anytime soon.
Does Yamaha make parts for the 1jz? I saw their name on the front of the motor when he was bleeding the radiator.
I would love to buy the turbo set up, I live in California and would pay for all shipping charges as well. I need to replace my stock t25 and no one is selling 28's right now.
when TH-cam money doesn't cut it
Ellis lyon He's just being frugal.
He's cutting prices down by 1/2 and 2/3 based on what he said.. lol no one gets rich or succeeds by giving things away.

I remember someone saying that having the radiator in the front with a jz swap will allways make it run hot.
Great video adam keep up all the great content can't wait to see you back in Japan
Do you have any issues like some people do with your 335i?? I'm in the market to get one and wanted to get your take on it, thx.
keep up the good content been watching since the beginning
air bubbles in coolant sounds like head gasket mate, get yourself a TK test kit, cheap as to use
and Nicole fell in love with his mini and thats when you guys got yours
Adam looks like Sid from the ice age
AnythingAnd Anything I will never look at Adam the same way again.... you have changed my life
Nah that would be me lol literally my high school nickname
AnythingAnd Anything sometimes he gets that lazy eye when he's a little tired 😂
I hope the 2jz is coming
keep up the good vids anyway💯
Also I am happy for your channel and how far it's come I have been watching the videos for a while I just didn't want to subscribe because I don't know or understand the purpose so I subscribed finally. Cheers
New idea for your fanshop lz handgloves for working in the garage
RIP LZ BMX. All automotive. Which isn't you fault, it's what your into
your blowing up fast. keep it up bro!
higher pressure moves the boiling point higher up. water boils at a lower temp on the mountain than it does at sea level.
I want that turbo!! Hmu if you'll ship it to Vegas
Great video! Buy some impact sockets!
what happened to the value spring key chains?? I would still get one
Love these videos about doing work on engines! Even tho I have to learn more about working on single cylinder 2 stroke moped engines!
so the 1jz is for nicole's car from the beginning?
wondering how much hp you was getting out of it. im not sure witch video it would be in
People convert to dual notched shims instead of one, that way you won't break rocker arms. We all know that's the weakest part of the SR 😂
tell me about it
by rocker arms said goodbye to me earlier this week
Wait a minute. Did you used to work aircraft maintenance in the Air Force when you lived in japan?
jack up the front end making the radiator neck the highest point in the system allowing you to bleed out all the bubbles
What would you recommend for my first car that is driftable, im thinking a 1.3l 2rotor something like rx7
boiling point increases with preassure, if the cap is the problem, it's because it releases the preassure and therefor lowering the boiling point. :)
hey Adam you inspire me for working on cars so i soport you
Adam when are you getting your 240 back
That would be 1000rpm fidget spinner. Not mph.... y does everyone say it wrong
NISsan_MOtors I feel u bro
Exactly!!! :)
NISsan_MOtors angular velocity can be measured in mph...
you should swap the 1j turbo with the one in the SR
