I mean, I've seen stock internal 1.6s handle 20 PSI before blowing up at close to 300WHP. The automatics (god forbid) and 5 speed transmissions, however, don't even like 200WHP. One might go to a 6 speed off an NB or an FC Turbo II transmission, but even those start to struggle around 300WHP.
@@tstanator are you sure? I thought the 5 speed would at least handle 300whp and the engine would only live up to 250 on stock internals. The conrods would bend at around 250 because it cant handle the torque.
Whenever you make big changes to the cooling system, it's a good idea to check if your water pump is in good condition, and wether or not debris is accumulating in it.
not sure that makes any sense, if anything the radiator will be the only thing accumulating debris. thats the only part where it gets extreemly narrow (fins)
Day 3 of: I had this idea-Donut media should give Aaron a show on how to drive and stuff. Like drifting techniques, manual, J Turns, etc. I think it would be a really cool show to make and bring Aaron in
I was just thinking the other day that would be a fun set of videos to watch. I always wanted to learn how to drive manual but there aren't many videos that seem helpful to me.
lol bruh I got a 95 ford I know exactly what your saying. old trucks are the toughest lol even when idiots like us jack things up. thankfully my dad was there to stop me from ruining the truck
If you live in an area with nice quality soft water, you can fill from the hose for flushing and rinsing cycles only. Your last rinse and drain and your final refill of mixed coolant should be done with distilled or R.O. water though. Here in Arizona, if I filled the system with tap water the car would just vanish from existence as the car gods deemed me unworthy to own and abuse such machinery. 😸 Our tap water leaves a chalky film after evaporating even a tiny bit of it in a glass one time.
I’m sure you know this, and it might already be in your jumper harness, but that power wire off the alternator doesn’t usually have a fuse, so if the controller gets stuck it can pull so much current it melts and catches on fire. Might be worth adding an inline fuse if it isn’t present already. Really enjoy the videos though! :)
Good job on presenting the cooling upgrade. One item you may wish to consider is installing a thermostat that fails open (FO). Most thermostats fail closed (FC), and then your engine overheats. With a FO thermostat, a failure does not cause an engine to burn up.
@@crabmilk It could be the Vodka & Tonic, but didn't we watch Zach swap out gaskets and fight with leaks a bunch of episodes back? I'm gonna have to go to the playlist and check. I might be thinking of Hi/Low...
The fan settings Can Make a huge difference ! My Boosted Subaru never goes above 189F no matter how hard I push it. Originally it would hit 206F (Stock cooling system) Go into misc threshold on a Subaru and you can change low/High fan temps
Don't forget to run the heat full blast during spirited driving, as the heater core acts like a baby radiator. Edit: the thermostat is a perfect example of an old school device called a wax motor.

It's crazy how nice an aftermarket radiator is for even daily driving. My car used to vary between 180-195°F, got a koyorad radiator and now I never go above 185 unless I'm running it pretty hard. The oil runs less than 180°F now, too. It uses to be around 185-205°F

Great episode. You may want to spend some time on the front aerodynamics seeing if you can force more air into the radiator. Also an aux oil cooler can add cooing capacity
Once you go Turbo, definitely need to look into sealing the radiator between the mouth of the bumper. That right there will likely help 20% of your heat management on track. The other thing is getting an oil cooler as well as thats the life blood of the engine and with F/I things tend to get really hot.
"Everything's possible with enough time and money". Make sure to become friends with your local fabricators and keep them properly hydrated with your money fountain.
Dropped an aluminum rad in my 98 accord after blowing the top and bottom seals of a new stock radiator (240k miles and head gasket is starting to go) and haven't had any issues since. Worth the price even at double the cost of a plastic rad
Good advice I live in Florida and we change our fluids every 3 or 4 years just to be sure not to mention the thermostat and the radiator cap. Many overheating problems are caused by bad thermostat and/or radiator cap
If he turbos the car in one episode, it's toast for sure. That should take enough work for 3 or 4 episodes if done right. Forged and upgraded engine internals, fuel injectors, fuel pump, turbo, intercooler, exhaust, tune. Without all of those things you're going to see a blown Miata on the first track day.
Bam! No more overheating for you at the track or while being stuck in traffic on a hot day. Now you'll be able to flog it all u want. That's a sick kit u put in. Great install video too, there's always a hiccup, every time.
Your channel reminds me of when I used to play Gran Turismo. You keep buying cheap cars and upgrading them slightly to keep you winning or at least competitive enough to make money. Eventually you buy a vehicle good enough or that you like enough to make it worth upgrading and then you go all out upgrading every single part. Some upgrades are better than others, they all cost too much, but in the end you have the sickest version of the car you chose.
I did a V8 swap in my 1984 (S12) Datsun 200sx. I had used the original 4 cylinder radiator a while....it would slowly warm while sitting in traffic. I swapped out the radiator to a 3 row radiator for a 240 SX (S13).....now it never gets hot while idling in traffic.....the radiator and dual cooling fan upgrade really helped!
Heat transfer in this case is performed through a forced convective mechanism. To observe why the cross flow radiator is better in this case we will need to understand the variables relationships. From Newton's law of cooling we observe that the rate of heat transfer, q, is given by: q=hA(T_initial-T_final). Where, h is the heat transfer coefficient and A is the surface area of the tube. For this purpose we will not focus too much on the temperature differential as we will want to focus on why the bigger, crossflow radiator performs better and the temperature differential can assumed to be the same in both cases for analysis purposes. To find h, we find this from the fluid properties and is related by the Nusselt number, Nu, and for a cylinder. Where Nu=(hD)/k where D is the diameter of the tube and k is the thermal conductivity. Since by increasing the length of the tubes, we effectively decrease the diameter. When we rearrange for h, h=(Nu*k)/D, we observe that h will increase when D decreases. To observe the effect of velocity we look at the Churchill Bernstein equation for a cylinder in crossflow (this equation is very long, just google it), however we observe that the Reynolds number is the numerator, and therefore we will increase Nu with an increasing Reynolds number. We observe that the reynolds number for a cylinder is given by: Re=(rho*v*D)/(dynamic viscosity). where, rho = density, v= velocity, D=diameter. Therefore as we increase the velocity of the fluid, we notice that the Nusselt number increases proportionally to this. Looking back to the equation for the heat transfer coefficient, it also increases with an increasing Nusselt number, therefore the heat transfer coefficient is proportional to a velocity increase. Lastly, we observe that as we decrease the diameter of the tubes, we notice from common sense we can fit more tubes into our constrained radiator area. Therefore, we are increasing the surface area of heat transfer. And when we observe that as A increases, q increases from Newton's law of cooling. Therefore, we increase the heat transfer rate further. In summary, as we increase the length of the tubes we effectively decrease the diameter. Also, as we decrease the the diameter of the tubes, we can fit more in our constrained area of the radiator, which increase the surface area of heat transfer and thereby the heat transfer rate. Lastly, when we increase the fan size, we increase the velocity of the air and increase the heat transfer rate. Your comment about gravity and that the fluid remains longer in the tubes for heat transfer is simply incorrect. As stated previously an increased velocity is better for heat transfer, and in fact gravity is negligible in analysis and the pressure of the coolant system and the velocity of air from the fan dominates our heat transfer. It is more so to do with that from left to right (looking at the car) we can easily increase the length of our tubes easier than up and down. And for the reasons mentioned before is better for heat transfer rate. Source: I am a Mechanical Engineer
Zach: "Don't use just any kind of water" My father that just poured 2 buckets of water from a nearby stream in the radiator of my grandpa's 1967 Toyota Hillux: That's a lot of damage

I'm one of the very few lucky Saturn guys that was able to score a Be Cool aluminum radiator made for the S series before they discontinued them and its hands down a crucial mod for running a turbo... Props for doing this first...too many people over look these mods until it's "necessary"

This is mint. Moneypit is sick because it's relatable. It's actual shit that happens every time you work on cars. Like putting that fan on backwards, its refreshing to see.
My project car/fun weekend car is a 1966 Mustang - the cooling system has trouble keeping up in the winter, let alone on a track day. Cooling system upgrade are cool.
Some thermostats come with a “wiggle valve” for that purpose. If they don’t drilling a tiny hole will help both with controlling temps and bleeding out air after installing.

"Puts a new cooling system so it won't overheat"
*"I'm planning on adding a turbo to it"*
Dropped an aluminum rad in my 98 accord after blowing the top and bottom seals of a new stock radiator (240k miles and head gasket is starting to go) and haven't had any issues since. Worth the price even at double the cost of a plastic rad
even if its 110 degrees

Ahh, the low-40-degree temperature range. *glares in Australian* Yeah. Getting warm.
The car is on fire!
The metric system never put a man on the moon.
Nothingtoseehete neither did the imperial. But the metric helped set up the surroundings for the fake landing
Beetlejuice 123 Yeah they did. The flag and footprints are there to prove it.
You metric commie.
The episode should have ended with them "beating" the Miata around the track and seeing what happens compared to the last track day.
They're going to add turbo and overheat it again 😄
That would have made too much sense.
Thats not really what track days are for. Upgrade a bunch of things and then go to the track. But to take it just to test the cooling seems petty.
But that would remove the plan for a second video and more YT popularity points ;-)
but now he can justify making another video.
Good advice I live in Florida and we change our fluids every 3 or 4 years just to be sure not to mention the thermostat and the radiator cap. Many overheating problems are caused by bad thermostat and/or radiator cap
How does he know how to do all this stuff it’s incredible 🤯
He actually demonstrates a pretty wide set of skills beyond turning a wrench.
Maybe... Education?
Finally, he's gonna #BoostCreeps his Miata next week.
Can't wait for it.
If he turbos the car in one episode, it's toast for sure. That should take enough work for 3 or 4 episodes if done right. Forged and upgraded engine internals, fuel injectors, fuel pump, turbo, intercooler, exhaust, tune. Without all of those things you're going to see a blown Miata on the first track day.

*I laughed my ass of to the Keyboard part XDD
It’s because they’re still in touch with what’s entertainment. God bless them.
Zach has the longhair now... Typical of quarantine aftermath. Looks good!
13:00 is literally everyone at every step of their projects
That was too damn funny😝😝😝
About to cry now 😂😂😂😂
Bam! No more overheating for you at the track or while being stuck in traffic on a hot day. Now you'll be able to flog it all u want. That's a sick kit u put in. Great install video too, there's always a hiccup, every time.
Zack is like the ChrisFix’s cool ass sub that everyone likes B)
Plot twist : ChrisFix is actually Zach's twin bro......
Without the annoying voice and hands 🤣 i really am not a fan of ChrisFix ever since he ripped off tjat dude with the DelSol
Me: The coolant system can finally handle my driving!
Me 5 mins later: Lets turbo it!
Your channel reminds me of when I used to play Gran Turismo. You keep buying cheap cars and upgrading them slightly to keep you winning or at least competitive enough to make money. Eventually you buy a vehicle good enough or that you like enough to make it worth upgrading and then you go all out upgrading every single part. Some upgrades are better than others, they all cost too much, but in the end you have the sickest version of the car you chose.

Love how much weight James has lost. good to see you healthy my man, you inspired me to do the same all love 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Thankfully he seems to be doing really well after the heart attack. 🙏 Was scary for sure.
I can still remember DM back a couple years ago. Love how it's flourished.
I did a V8 swap in my 1984 (S12) Datsun 200sx. I had used the original 4 cylinder radiator a while....it would slowly warm while sitting in traffic. I swapped out the radiator to a 3 row radiator for a 240 SX (S13).....now it never gets hot while idling in traffic.....the radiator and dual cooling fan upgrade really helped!
Zach looks like he was born to ride in that beautiful steed of a miata

Heat transfer in this case is performed through a forced convective mechanism. To observe why the cross flow radiator is better in this case we will need to understand the variables relationships. From Newton's law of cooling we observe that the rate of heat transfer, q, is given by: q=hA(T_initial-T_final). Where, h is the heat transfer coefficient and A is the surface area of the tube. For this purpose we will not focus too much on the temperature differential as we will want to focus on why the bigger, crossflow radiator performs better and the temperature differential can assumed to be the same in both cases for analysis purposes.
To find h, we find this from the fluid properties and is related by the Nusselt number, Nu, and for a cylinder. Where Nu=(hD)/k where D is the diameter of the tube and k is the thermal conductivity. Since by increasing the length of the tubes, we effectively decrease the diameter. When we rearrange for h, h=(Nu*k)/D, we observe that h will increase when D decreases.
To observe the effect of velocity we look at the Churchill Bernstein equation for a cylinder in crossflow (this equation is very long, just google it), however we observe that the Reynolds number is the numerator, and therefore we will increase Nu with an increasing Reynolds number. We observe that the reynolds number for a cylinder is given by: Re=(rho*v*D)/(dynamic viscosity). where, rho = density, v= velocity, D=diameter. Therefore as we increase the velocity of the fluid, we notice that the Nusselt number increases proportionally to this. Looking back to the equation for the heat transfer coefficient, it also increases with an increasing Nusselt number, therefore the heat transfer coefficient is proportional to a velocity increase.
Lastly, we observe that as we decrease the diameter of the tubes, we notice from common sense we can fit more tubes into our constrained radiator area. Therefore, we are increasing the surface area of heat transfer. And when we observe that as A increases, q increases from Newton's law of cooling. Therefore, we increase the heat transfer rate further.
In summary, as we increase the length of the tubes we effectively decrease the diameter. Also, as we decrease the the diameter of the tubes, we can fit more in our constrained area of the radiator, which increase the surface area of heat transfer and thereby the heat transfer rate. Lastly, when we increase the fan size, we increase the velocity of the air and increase the heat transfer rate.
Your comment about gravity and that the fluid remains longer in the tubes for heat transfer is simply incorrect. As stated previously an increased velocity is better for heat transfer, and in fact gravity is negligible in analysis and the pressure of the coolant system and the velocity of air from the fan dominates our heat transfer. It is more so to do with that from left to right (looking at the car) we can easily increase the length of our tubes easier than up and down. And for the reasons mentioned before is better for heat transfer rate.

Zach: "Don't use just any kind of water"
My father that just poured 2 buckets of water from a nearby stream in the radiator of my grandpa's 1967 Toyota Hillux:
That's a lot of damage
My brother using hose water
toyotas ar built for war, the water will do just fine
just dar man, then again its a toyota.
I use hose water in Florida. 👍 That Hilux can hang

I like how honest you guys are with mistakes. It's tough when people cut that stuff out because new tuners make mistakes and get discouraged thinking they suck.
Day 107 of asking James to do an up to speed on his family.

19:26 - imagine what would near by driver think if he had seen you making that face while driving :D
Money pit and ChrisFix are my two most favorite car shows on TH-cam and basically anywhere else anywhere, they are both amazing and show in detail what to do and how to do it!
zach: it's wicked stretched out
SNL Sean Connery: Just like your mom, Trebeck, ha ha ha ha
Would have been cool to see a before temp reading for a comparison
Thanks for getting me excited about the most boring first step on "performance upgrades". Been looking at my stock cooling system and just how hot my engine feels after "normal" driving, and won't feel bad doing this as a first "non-stock" project.
Notification Squad! love the Money Pit Miata!
How did you get the photos in your comment

I cant believe it says "Asian Vechile mix" on the coolant.
Money pit is the perfect series. Zach is one of the best pilots. Very knowledgeable but realistic to a garage experience.
It would be really cool if you guys included a text overlay of metric units whenever you talk about temperature, speed, etc. since most of the rest of the world uses metric units! I think it would make things a lot easier to understand for everyone not in the US!
I'd love to see the money pit miata take on the HiLow cars when all is said and done!
I'm one of the very few lucky Saturn guys that was able to score a Be Cool aluminum radiator made for the S series before they discontinued them and its hands down a crucial mod for running a turbo... Props for doing this first...too many people over look these mods until it's "necessary"
Joe’s gonna bust his old radiator hose at the firewall and lose all his coolant. Bhg. Sometimes you just know
The fart sound when you dropped in the fan and radiator actually made me lol
Tech Tip.. even though you tighten everything down etc.. and did a awesome job... after first heat up and cool down.. Check Every Single Clamp.. you see.. the hose Seat or mold to any new surface.. week later check again... peace

Great video guys. Stay safe 💯👍🇹🇹
16:38 Vince Gilligan would be proud. * Breaking bad flashbacks*
Fucking glad someone noticed that
This is mint. Moneypit is sick because it's relatable. It's actual shit that happens every time you work on cars. Like putting that fan on backwards, its refreshing to see.
3:49 send that radiator back, they dent the hell out if it
The turbo is being mentioned increasingly more often, I can hear turbo episode stustustu-ing in the distance already
Oil coolers (usually neglected on street machines) and automatic transmission coolers can have impressive effect too.
Ima do this to my Miata it doesn’t over heat but I want a new radiator and hoses all around I can’t afford the turbo tho sadly :(
Anybody realize that when he was driving, a circle on the computer went red...
My project car/fun weekend car is a 1966 Mustang - the cooling system has trouble keeping up in the winter, let alone on a track day. Cooling system upgrade are cool.
Drilling a tiny hole in the oem thermostat can help drop temps by a lil bit
Some thermostats come with a “wiggle valve” for that purpose. If they don’t drilling a tiny hole will help both with controlling temps and bleeding out air after installing.
