That engine is looking so nice man and your video quality is solid. Hope your channel blows up you guys deserve it.
Thanks, we were both surprised how easy it was to clean up. A little pain goes a long way. Appreciate the support, maybe one day. Either way we are enjoying the process and experiences we've been able to have.
Just finished doing this a couple of days ago and first start up of the miata this morning.. and I have this same exact one too 🙌🏿
Nice!! It’s a really solid piece, we were definitely impressed.
@@NappMotorsports can't wait to get my miata on the road
@@NappMotorsports its decent, seems like big silicone hose like that turn weird shapes when in use.
Id still like to make an solid pipe for the majority of it, the radiator inlet is in such a dumb spot stock that its not worth it at the moment though
@@miatafan does the hose change shape ?
Great video as always boys, keep it up and don’t stop perpendicular fueling
Thanks Bradley!
Thanks guys, great video
Thanks for watching!
Cool install!
Thanks!
Guys, more stuff to add to the wish list...
We have the same list, its always getting longer.
the amount of people who dont think a reroute is needed bothers me.
BPs without a reroute almost always kick the #4 rod out the block before any others.
even if your car is not overheating, the long term effect of it is, faster wear for parts at the rear of the motor.
the 5.9 cummins has a very similar issue and its well known #6 is the one to keep an eye on, because its usually the first to start knocking.
Ive heard that about the 5.9 cummings. Hopefully OEMs have learned their lesson.
Nice, bought a kit ages ago, still packed haha. That kit looks pretty sweet though, one we've got isn't that complete.
Hope is video is the video you need to get it on your car soon!
Spreading the gospel
reallly wish id seen your recomendation of the stud remover before I tried, and nearly destroyed the 2 other common crappy ones on the market trying to get my turbo studs out
It really comes in handy, 10/10, would recommend.
Been looking to do a reroute in my Exocet now that it's apart again. The Miata tax for a piece of machined billiet and a silicone hose is real.
You could go the diy route if budget is the issue. This is definitely worth the price tag.
I installed a thermostat that kicks on about 10 degrees sooner thinking that would be enough but down here in Texas, the Miata still gets cookin.
I’ll start this reroute just as soon as I’m done fixing my driver side LCA rear mount flanges as they are currently slightly bent. 😥
Lower thermostat isn’t a bad idea, but it doesn’t do the same thing as a reroute. Installing that should make a huge difference.
I've just ordered a reroute and new hoses from skid nation.
On top of that one of the SPS motorsport Radiators and a spall fan kit from IL motorsport.
It may be overkill for a stock miata but i am still playing with the idea of supercharging
Never overkill!
@@NappMotorsports do you mean that you can't ever have too much cooling potential or that one shouldn't go overboard?
I have this reroute and I’m pretty happy with it. I used hondabond instead of the provided gaskets. I don’t like how the hose rubs on the charcoal canister and the stock throttle body arm can hang up and rub on the hose. Another thing to note is that the EGR pipe runs real close to the speedo cable to the point of being able to melt it. I used a small bracket on the car side to hold the speedo cable out of the way to keep it from touching. Isn’t smog fun?
Yay EPA
I have seen talk on forums that the 1.8 vvt engine changed the layout of the water jackets in the engine block and doesn’t need a reroute, just curious if a reroute is still an upgrade over and beyond the improved coolant flow from factory and that’s why you have installed it? Not at all meant to be critical, I’m planning on vvt swapping my 1990 and trying to do what’s best for the engine! Either way, have been really enjoying the content and hope the builds get to where you want them before driving season again 🚀
a vvt headgasket is better than no reroute, but a non vvt headgakset and a reroute is better.
mazda "solved" the issue by restricting coolant to cylinder 1&2 so it kind of just moves the hot spot to a different place
I did my one on my vvt, i was also worried it now will affect the mazda fix.
We had this concern originally with Dylan's VVT Swap, but after some research, we found that Emilio from 949 Racing has run Rerouted VVT Engines for 24+ hour endurance races, which is significantly harder driving than this engine will ever see. It definitely doesn't hurt.
If it’s good enough for him then it’s good enough for me! Thanks!
What are you using for a mixing manifold (water inlet)? I'm looking for something similar so I can delete the heater core and auxiliary coolant lines.
It’s a factory one but I just welded the heater core part shut.
Great video, can I ask if the Coolant Reroute Hose, Cobalt is specifically for the mk2 / Mk2.5 as I can only find it for the Mk1. Thanks
I would recommend reaching out to Moss.
@@NappMotorsports I did but unfortunately the sales person didn’t know. I bought one anyway 👍🏽
Wondering what the difference is that prevents me from using this kit on my 1991.
side note: Do you have a video on the cleaner block off plate?
There’s a kit for the 90-93 Miata’s. It’s Part Number 910-640 on Moss’ website.
We don’t have a video on that block off plate, but it was easy to make. Just trace the flange on the coolant neck and cut it out/drill the holes.
I was able to fit it on mine. Just needed to get the front plate. Or you can drill and tap the one it comes with. A spark plug tap should be the same thread
I just need thermostat block off plate. Is that sold alone anywhere? Cannot find it on moss miata or ebay.
For coolant neck? Or a block off that deletes the coolant neck at the head. The head block off, if you send me an email I can get you one. Blocking it off at the neck where the thermostat used to be, I don’t have a good answer for just that plate.
Ik this is an old video but I can’t find anything on it will this kit work on a 1.6L I have a 1992 but it’s advertised as 94+ but out of all the kits I like the setup of this one the most
I found a comment of saying the same thing imma call moss
Calling Moss is your best bet.
Is a 180 tstat overkill if the car has a decent radiator and ducting?
Not really in my opinion. It gives you a bit more of a window before you hit 200 if you’re really beating on it.
Which kit do you get for a 2002 and want to keep your egr.
I don’t actually know. We typically block EGR off so I haven’t had to deal with it.
I know i’m bit late for this kit but do they fit RHD miata??
I couldn’t say. You’re better off calling Moss.
Will this fit an RHD car?
I know some other reroute kits don't.
I’ve reached out to find out! I don’t see why not but I can’t guarantee it.
Do you think that running the heater is sufficient for occasional track use?
Instead of the reroute? I would still recommend a reroute.
I would bypass or remove the heater for the track.
Does this work for a 90 1.6 the kit in the description says 94 and up?
I would reach out to Moss customer service.
It does. The issue is the front plate doesn't have the hole for the thermoswitch. You'd need to get one elsewhere or drill and tap the one included. A spark plug tap works. I think you might have to extend the rear sensor wires and it's really hard to get it on. I think the 1.8 cars have more space between the engine and firewall
what radiator you guys running
Mishimoto on the track car
I want to do this. But with my engine still in the car. I don't think I can do this. It's sooooo tight back there.
It’s possible, I did remove this with the engine in the car to modify the thermostat. Ratcheting combination wrenches help a ton.
@@NappMotorsports I'm confused which kit to get. I have an NB2 and don't want to lose my EGR pipe. Do you know which kit I should get please?
what radiator is best?
Honestly a supermiata crossflow, but I haven’t had cooling issues with the Mishimoto’s I’ve used.
Did you use any thread sealant on any of the sensors
Yup! All sensors and plugs got thread sealant.
I didn’t use any on mine and it doesn’t leak.
@@aygwmthat's good to know, I'm gonna install one next week and I've got no idea where to get that
@@Birb_of_Judge any autozone.
Is a coolant reroute absolutely necessary to boost a car?
In my opinion, 100%
The long bolt in these kits are the incorrect length and pulled the threads out of head !
Interesting. I didn’t have that issue.
