I’m actually real glad you commented this because I’ve been searching for this answer myself but have not found a definitive answer. I have switched back to an OEM coolant expansion tank until this is figured out. Can anyone chime in on this? I will pin this comment.
@@DriveItRyan I know the circuit racing one has two ports one on top for coolant to drain in and another on the lower side of it. I don’t know if that lower one is for draining if it gets to much pressure or if it’s for recycling the coolant back into the Rad.
I'm betting the metal on the lower coolant route, is for stabilizing the hose and preventing vibration cracks because of the extended run it would take.
Most of the aftermarket aluminum radiators on the market will be ok but not great for the NA / NB without A/C condenser and intercooler. If you have those 2 in front of your radiator you might want to consider upgrading your Fan or get a FlyingMiata Fan kit. Ducting will help with hood vents in the right location. Save your money and just get the FM crossflow and fan kit.
The FM crossflow radiator and brushless fan kit are really nice, but it’s been out of stock for a while and it’s almost $1000 all together. My A/C is deleted and I plan on staying naturally aspirated. I’ll probably do some ducting and hood vents. It’s only the very beginning for this car and that stock radiator needed to go ASAP.
What if you wanted to keep the A/C coolant fan what makes the coolant work to turn the A/C Compressor on, this is what I’m having problems with, do you have troubleshooting on this problem ?
🤔 You’ve given me something to look into! I do know that they are rock solid reliable. I was concerned with weight and tuneability but I haven’t done enough research yet to make an educated decision. How high can you safely get the 1UZ to rev?
That hose with tube is a stupid design, nice little upgrade with one hose and koyo is the way to go! Ive made the same mistake and got a cheapo rad when i had my integra and that junk leaked within the first month. For this s2k ill definitely message you guys when its time.
Does Miss Ali know how much you spend.. on the cars... the ladies always unhappy... The 4k is pretty cool.... pushes my oldy I7 processor to the max..... like the porn stuff :) it probably now needs extra cooling.... in depth and informative... more please.. N x
