For anyone watching. Go to the cleaning isle in your local bulk store and get Soda Crystals. Disolve a couple of cups in a bucket of water and run that through your cooling system and radiator, then flush. Its amazing how much gunk and rust gets cleaned out. Very cheap too
@G2G Builds thank you so much, I truly appreciate it. Quick question by the way, where do I install the garden hose to flush the cooling system? Thank you godbless
Hello can I get the links of all parts that you've used in this video? Hehe. Trying to do what you did for upgrading cooling system. Thank you so much. You're a big help to us. 🙂
Thanks a lot.. Unfortunately, I have no links for this. All was custom made. It was a 96 Honda civic radiator and I used about 2 feet of 1" aluminum pipe.
Hello been a big fan of your channel! Does the car have to be turned on when doing a engine coolant flush? And where do I insert a hose for flushing the whole system? God bless and good morning.
Good morning bro.. No, the car doesn't need to be on .I did it this way because my coolant was extremely dirty. If yours is the same way as mine, you can do the same as me. Be careful and dont get burn and never open the radiator cap if the engine is hot.. You can get seriously burn.
@@G2GBuilds okay fyi i've done like in your video put an hose direct in the inlet ,but the water seems came out not much like yours..any ideas why is like that.. thanks again..
In my case, it seems like the previous owner out just water. Since our car has an iron cast block, the block with get corroded easy If the car was sitting down for a while. I did replaced my engine once already.
Yes you can use the Honda radiator. I'll will recommend a 2 row or better. Any Honda civic radiator from 91-00 should work. Regarding the bracket, i don't have any pics around. Everything I didn't is on the video.
Hello and good morning. First of all I would like to that your channel is amazing and all your videos and information, really helped me made my b13 alive again. I got a question to ask. If my ga16de, has power steering how could I delete it? But also have good steering?
Good Morning bro. Personally, i have never delete a power steering. My b13 came from the factory without. If you want to delete it, you have two option, the right way or the haggard way. The right way will be to remove everything power steering related (power steering reservoir, pump, lines, belt) you may need a shorter belt, and replace the steering rack with a manual one. The haggard way, will be to remove everything as well, and loop together the inlet and the outlet of the power steering steering rack. My advice, will be to keep it the way it is, unless you are building a race car. Good luck brother!
@@G2GBuilds thank you again so much I appreciate it alot. Is it possible for me to replace my power steering rack with a manual rack? god bless my brother
I wanted to ask, I own a b13 sentra as well and I was wondering what was the steps you took to flushing and changing the cooling system fluids, and how did you place the thermostat back to its original position? if possible could you label the steps i need in order to flush the entire system. I didn't get to see it to well, please help me. God bless
Of course. First of all, make sure your coolant isnt hot. 1. Drain the coolant. On 2:57, you can see me removing the plastic drain plug from the radiator using a Philips screw driver. 2. After most of the coolant drained, put the radiator drain plug back. Make sure to dont mess up the thread since everything there is plastic. 3. On 3:39, you can see the location of thermostat housing. It has 3 bolts. You can see the holes on 5:30. The thermostat will go in the same same way you found the old one. Remove the old thermostat and expect more coolant to come out. 4. You will need to clean the surface to make sure the gasket maker seal properly. I used wire brushes and a drill with the wire wheel on it and scotch pads to clean everything. Surface must be squeaky clean and dry before going to the next step. Failing this step, it can cause the coolant to leak from there. 5. Insert the new thermostat the same way you found the old one. Now you will need to use permatex "water pump and thermostat RTV silicone gasket". You will need to apply plenty to make sure nothing leaks through there and put the housing back and tight the 3 bolts but make sure to dont brake anything, since there everything is aluminum. Here is a link of the silicone. shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/permatex-water-pump-and-thermostat-rtv-silicone-gasket-.5-oz.-22071/7160009-p?c3ch=PLA&c3nid=7160009-P&adtype=pla&product_channel=local&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjYHpBRC4ARIsAI-3GkGatUB8FUzFSs8711NvNKp0sKgOMnZJ-uWB7242TuYHM0hmprhV_68aApX3EALw_wcB 6. After everything is all tight and ready, now we have the most important step which is to wait a couple hours until the RTV cures. Follow the Permatex instructions, but I leaved mines over 24 hours drying. 7. One day later, fill up the system with fresh coolant and little by little bleed the air out of the system and inspect for leaks. After a nice drive and waiting until the coolant is hot, inspect the coolant level by removing the radiator cap and adding coolant until it fills up. Make sure to do no use plain water or add water to any coolant with a 50/50 mixture. 8. Enjoy that you got the job done! Hope this helps. Good luck
One last question, if I may ask, how do I bleed the cooling system for any air pockets? And could I use non drinking water when flushing the cooling system? And can I run the car without the thermostat when adding the radiator flush fluid, until it's time to flush the system the second time, then re-installing the new thermostat? Please help. Thanks
The sell a special funnel that allow you to do it, but I dont have it. What I do, is fill up until it gets full. Drive the car a little with the heat on high, and after the engine cool down, add more and keep the process until is completely full. And yes, you can remove the thermostat for the flush. That's what I did before putting the garden hose into the engine.. lol
My man you are really a good guy i can see it in your eyes and your humbleness..stay this way man god bless you and keep nice work going ..thank you!

Thanks for the how-to man. I need to do the same to my b13 and get it ready for winter. Keep up the great work!!!!
You're welcome bro! I'm glad I was able to help.
And can you please show how you made the brackets to fit the radiator pls
NICE JOB...GOD BLESS!!!
Thanks a lot brother.
@G2G Builds thank you so much, I truly appreciate it. Quick question by the way, where do I install the garden hose to flush the cooling system? Thank you godbless
It will be by the coolant hose closer to the transmission..
Good interesting video.. keep on bring em them 👍👍

Hi. I am planning to replace my rads... where is the thermostat located? Ty.
In the minute 3:30 in the video, you can see the location and the process to remove it.
Sorry for bombing your notifications lol😂, but does it necessarily have to be that radiator or can it be the 2 core 1996 honda civic radiator ?
hi boss, sorry want to ask at this time 5:41 did you let the radiator cap open or close? thank you.
Hey, what's up?
The radiator cap was closed. The reason for it is to make sure all the water will go in the bucket. 👍
@@G2GBuilds okay fyi i've done like in your video put an hose direct in the inlet ,but the water seems came out not much like yours..any ideas why is like that.. thanks again..

@@G2GBuilds okay, did you put back in the Thermostat, when you do the flushing? or you take it out..
@@zulfadlisalehodin I put back the thermostat.
Hi sir, i have a Ga16 carbuerator nissan sentra, Can i fit the Honda Radiator on it and will it be fine ?
Yes you can use the Honda radiator.
I'll will recommend a 2 row or better.
