@@TrinomCZ There's a bit of both camps are true. The warmer an engine runs, the more efficiently it combusts, you are correct. Some racers though will run lower temps so that the thermostat opens prematurely, in an attempt to keep temps down while running full throttle for long periods. You are correct in your assertion that a lower thermostat alone will not solve an overheating issue.

I'm actually wondering where do they get these background music? It's calming, soothing and it makes me feels like I'm meditating. Always have GaG videos played in the background because of the great editing, the great music, commentary and pretty much everything is so perfect!

This is literally a reality show for cars LMAO

This is the best initial D episode ive'd ever seen! Watching keisuke takahashi bleed his rx7 and fabricating himself a mount. Nice.

Awesome watching someone with so much passion for cars, and making things work by doing it themself.

These people get a lot of help. They don't even have to worry about paying for the parts.

New coolant is always so satisfying. My NA MX5 had brown rusty coolant with a little bit of like slush puppie type residue, when I got a new radiator as mine was blocked up and put it with new coolant in it felt very nice knowing it's all cleaned up in there - and it fixing my pretty serious overheating issue was a bonus.

This was one of my rx7 builds in pixel car racer but ended up selling it for a Lexus LFA..infact all my cars in pixel car racers are x class cars. My fastest drag car is the gtr nismo that goes 6.3 in the 1/4 mile...

Those Koyorads are super legit. Great episode and congrats on your new title master fabricator 💪

love the relaxed and spontaneous style of video, enjoy it. you look like you love it more than before

one of the best quality car content on youtube

as a fellow rx7 project car guy, i absolutely love your determination!!!

We use Zerex Asian, blue and red variants, in a lot of cars at our shop and it's fantastic stuff.

I love the road trips but I also really enjoy content like this. I don't think I will ever own an RX7 at least not with a rotary in it, but I enjoy learning about this stuff.

Loving the rx7 build series! The road trip was amazing to watch!

Damn Keisuke, this is great.

Awesome master fab skillz! The hair is looking great with the black coming through

Very smart keeping radiator an off the shelf unit bud!

Love your hair. The quality of the production is awesome, thank you!

If you picked upba vacuum coolant filler it wouldn't require much of any bleeding. Aswell it would give you a preliminary check for any leaks if it can hold vacuum before sucking in coolant. Keep up the awesome Rx7 content!

I envy the time and resources you guys have with your projects. How to see more in the future. Viewing from the Philippines!

Yes I would love to check out some *hose* with Keisuke.

Glad you got it sorted, it deserved that Koyorad after not blowing up during the trip :D

Stellar video as always, lads. Great stuff.

Valvoline “Asian vehicle” 😂

Congratulations on the fix!!

Koyorad was definitely the right choice. I have one on my RX-8 and love it although I also love the cheap eBay special radiator on my SA too. Either one does their jobs very well

I absolutely love this series! I was expecting this cooling system upgrade! This is awesome, you guys are such an inspiration for young car guys with no car like me xD I can't believe you trusted an eBay unit on such a long roadtrip lol Just a small doubt, won't the radiator get real dirty from all the contaminents on road ? Asking as it's sitting right under and it's exposed.

good job Keisuke love the hair bud fits super well

Nice finally running smooth.

Love the series...Good job on Fab work..🏁👍

Bro tip: when trying to twist a bit of aluminum or metal if it's not too thick. Use a crescent wrench instead of pliers so you don't damage the surface, and you have more leverage too 👌

Everything to do with both of your rx7s i love

Great job on the brackets Ben, working alone on the car sucks sometimes but it’s therapeutic if you ask me 😂. You gotta get get an “AirLift” bleeder to bleed that yellow thang! I use it on all my cars works flawlessly every time, no air pockets left behind! 👌🏼

It's funny as your fabrication skills grow, going back and looking at some of your old stuff. You look at old mounts or things that you made and you're like ugh why did I make it like that? What was I thinking? 😂

The hair works. It's not even working in an ironic way. It just works for you. Ben may have done you a serious solid.

You should take of you’re cooling hose on the back side of you’re throttle body and hold it as low as possible while u fill coolant, will make the bleeding process much easier 😊

Yes Yes yes! More rx7 content I've been waiting for

Ben you look so much happier with that hair color! :D love you guys videoes! Gears and Gasoline and Car Throttle is my favorit car KZread channels! :D

alternative title: Light house fixes RX-7

There is a coolant hose connected close to the intake manifold and elbow, its much much faster and easier to bleed disconnecting from that hose as your filling up. Once you see that hose dripping coolant, and the radiator cap coolant to the top, then your pretty much good to go, 10 minutes max!!! I had my FD for 13 years so I know.

Its funny I also thought to mount it upside down seeing all the fab that would have been necessary. Far better upside down than re-welded!

For the next road trip you guys should do a stance car and a lifted car

the FD is the only car that you have to fill the coolant reservoir twice and your gas tank twice just to bleed all the air out, it takes so long you’ll run out of gas 😂

My Saturday morning dose of G&G

I love how cinematic your videos are! I’m curious what premix bottle you used to fill up you gas tank?

Great video and love what you do👌☺️ But the blue type will eat the alloy. I’ve seen it myself as a mechanic. You can f.ex mix red with blue but not blue in a system that has red type. Red is most common with alloy engines etc. Or if the green is for alloy type engines change to that.

Nice work sir.

Here in the eu, blue and green cooland are usualy the same and can even be mixed , if necessary. Red or yellow may never be mixed with another colour. The amount of glycol is important if you live in cold areas. You dont want water in your system in a cold area. It could destroy your engine with expansion if it freezes.

You guys gonna post a nice map of the roadtrip that shows all the highways and so on you went on. So we can get a visual representation of roadtrip's routes you took for all the states. We get why you only barely touch some states and big trips thru others. Its understandable.

Motivation too fix my 03 mach1 cooling system today before cars an coffe

Nice video!! Nice custom fitment!!

in the future Ben, when you want to make templates use the cardboard from things like cereal boxes or Mac'n cheese boxes. they are allot easier to bend and cut with scissors. this series makes me want to resurrect my 2.4L turbo first gen neon😏

13B sounds so good.

Man i'm not gonna lie, i want the next roadtrip to come so bad

Air takes the path of least resistance you need to close up the back where they meet at v and possibly some side shrouds. While it works in the cold weather now it will not be optimal once it gets warm outside

Would have been nice to see the result comparison from your road trip series Vs after the radiator change.

Also don't know if you have a thermo pellet delete or not but if you pull off the coolant line going to the throttle body when your filling your coolant from empty if bleeds up alot easier

ma dudes, run some high temp hosing from the tailpipe out through the garage door, you can even use dryer vent hose.

If I may offer a tip if you want the best chance to remove all the air out of your cooling system use a vacuum cooling system filler. It puts the system under a vacuum and then fills the system it would also let you know if u had a leak before hand

gotta love the rotary!!

Ben, I absolutely HATE PowerFCs, but your car needs a retune, buddy. I'll take care of it for you whenever you're ready. Thanks for the great content as always!
