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)
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.
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

@@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...
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.

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. Heat makes the wax expand and move a piston in a linear motion, they can be found in the detergent door of some dishwashers
@@demilieu most cars have a large buffer zone on the OEM temp gauge where the needle stays the same. The proof of my point can be seen when an additional analog or digital temp gauge is installed.
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
@@nickbates5220 Not really. Based on the penultimate episode of HiLow they said that low car not including purchase price was about $20Gs. Whereas the Miata based on the tracked episode not including purchase price totaled $9500.
@@F117nghthawk Yeah but the Nissan had a turbo kit whereas he hasn't bought his yet, body kit, plastidipped (twice), upgraded suspension arms and ends, lighting kits, differentials and injectors that he hasn't done yet. Add all that at a mid range to this car and he'd far exceed the low car so it's not really a fair comparison.
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
the cooling system upgrades are super important if you want to do other things to increase power, performance, and race it. We all saw that in the Hi car/Low car segment on radiators.
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.
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
Thanks buddy, even though I don’t have a Miata (or an MX5 in Australia 🇦🇺), I see that the process is pretty much the same in virtually any Piston Rear Wheel Drive 🚙... BTW. I have a 2002 6cyl Barra powered BA Ford Falcon Wagon
I just noticed that big guy behind the camera and those editors adding amazing animations doing amazing job compare this old videos. Amazing keep it up! Good stuff
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.
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"
Gawt Damnit Jobe! You make everything look soooooooo easy. You're the Joe Montana of mods. Your old stuff for ecs tuning is gold too. Glad you went your own way. Keep it real
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!
I love cars and I’m getting my dads Camaro and I want to do some upgrades but don’t have enough money to do everything what is the best upgrade for the money?

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.
if you are already messing around with the cooling system why not just replace water pump and thermostat and maybe even hoses just for peace of mind

19:26 - imagine what would near by driver think if he had seen you making that face while driving :D
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.
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.
James is the definition of "I'm not a business man, I'm a business, man"
Zach looks like he was born to ride in that beautiful steed of a miata
2:31 the way he jacked up the car, I felt that.

The only videos I consistently watch out of the series. Money pit it just entertaining, informative, can't wait for the next ep
When you're so early that the first-ers and the bots are still typing
Yea they're annoying af
I came so early the bots havent even arrived yet
Last time I was this early, Rabbit was selling cars on Ebay.
the bots have invaded
@@ameenzubair219 yo these bots are wack
zach: it's wicked stretched out
SNL Sean Connery: Just like your mom, Trebeck, ha ha ha ha
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
confused non american noises
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.
I'm That Early That I Can't See PaganiGaming... And That's Not Good.
Tf what's wrong with this reply section
Spam so much spam 🤣🤣🤣
no sign of him yet.. hopefully he's done asking for Dad content instead of car content
Nvm the reply section is deleted
I actually enjoyed this video more than the ones they do in the shop. It felt very relatable being in a garage at Zach's house lol.

I died laughing at that expression xD
Thanks buddy, even though I don’t have a Miata (or an MX5 in Australia 🇦🇺), I see that the process is pretty much the same in virtually any Piston Rear Wheel Drive 🚙... BTW. I have a 2002 6cyl Barra powered BA Ford Falcon Wagon
Day 229 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad
found you
once again
Hey, how u doin' man?
nice
Day 30 of supporting you
16:38 Vince Gilligan would be proud. * Breaking bad flashbacks*
Fucking glad someone noticed that
I just noticed that big guy behind the camera and those editors adding amazing animations doing amazing job compare this old videos.
Amazing keep it up! Good stuff
The fart sound when you dropped in the fan and radiator actually made me lol
I'd love to see the money pit miata take on the HiLow cars when all is said and done!
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.

Great video guys. Stay safe 💯👍🇹🇹
Would have been cool to see a before temp reading for a comparison
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"
3:49 send that radiator back, they dent the hell out if it
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 :(
Gawt Damnit Jobe! You make everything look soooooooo easy. You're the Joe Montana of mods. Your old stuff for ecs tuning is gold too. Glad you went your own way. Keep it real
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!
I love cars and I’m getting my dads Camaro and I want to do some upgrades but don’t have enough money to do everything what is the best upgrade for the money?
Go for handling before anything else. Sway bars are fairly cheap and will provide a very noticeable improvement.
hunnybajjer thanks
Lower it if u wanna be cool and then worry abt everything else
Jeffrey Zubik lowered cars always look so much cooler, my 2005 mustang gt looks way better because it’s lowered.
Suspension and handling upgrades are the best to start, if it’s a car that’s worth a bit then save up for good coils; don’t cheap out lol
I cant believe it says "Asian Vechile mix" on the coolant.
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.
Day 2 of asking the Donut Media Crew to bring back Science Garage with Bart as the Host
Please god, at least an up to speed on Bart!!!
Day 1 of supporting JDM is life
Pretty sure he left, due to having a kid
@@masteronesolo4615 Yeah that's true but it doesn't mean that he has a kid that he will never come back tho
