______________________________________________________________
In this video, I install a bunch of parts on the mini to keep it cool at the track!! Just like the video for the Accord, where I showed you how to install upgraded Silicone Coolant hoses, I will be doing that, along with installing a new Thermostat and the water pipe found on the backside of the motor.
A set of hoses like this will be much less prone to failure, as they are designed with much higher tolerances. That means if you track your car, or even just drive it to and from work every day, you can rest assured knowing that your cooling system will not fail. To guarantee that, Mishimoto stands behind their product with a lifetime warranty on their hoses.
If you’re looking to pick up a kit like mine for your car, you can click the following link, and it will bring you to amazon where you can select the exact kit for your car ▶︎ amzn.to/2iMSUhk
After that, be sure to replace the proper coolant in your vehicle. I’ve included below links to most of the automotive manufacturer’s Genuine engine coolant, to make the search a bit easier.

The OEM water piping is less reinforced for a reason. Ideally, as the hose ages, it can expand a bit without having a blow out. You dont want to use silicone piping for coolant the same way you dont want to use worm clamps on them. Theyre so restrictive the line is alot more likely to break.
Just an FYI: this engine is a 1.6 THP - a fruit of BMW and PSA cooperation. In Europe it is often found in range of Citroen and Peugeot models. Direct fuel injection and twin-scroll turbo are just a couple of features that helped this power plant win The International Engine of The Year award in 2007 and held it till 2015 (1.4 - 1.8 category). I am using its turbo and turbo manifold in my NA to turbocharged project (Citroen C2 VTS).
Proper DIY content, good job Milan.
I currently have the same problem with the water pipe leaking coolant. I couldn’t get it to seal on properly due to lack of space. Your video actually helped me out, thank you!
Excellent video, you provide a great service for a lot of people who work on their own minis
You motivate me to work on my project, It's hard to get working when you don't have a heated garage.
Road Worthy amen! Haha
I have a 2008 Mini Cooper S, they are hard to work on. I did not want a mini but I learned to love it. My car is paid off but I still invested a lot of money after my transmission started slipping gears. I just wish I could work on my mini like you!
this is the exactly project I want to do, so nice I found a good quality and teaching video series for when it comes the time I have the money to do it.
missed to thank you for this!
Great video! Absolutely what I needed. Thank you!
Hey, liking the longer videos 👍 keep up the amazing content creating!
Thanks Hugo :) Cheers!!
Awesome video!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Almost 100K, keep it up!!💯💯
Thanks mate!! Almost there :)
Love the mini videos. Just subscribed
Thanks Juan :)
Fair play you have the patience of a saint 👍
Waouhhhhh 😱😱😱 good job dude
I can not wait to see your next video :)
all pipes nicely clipped😊👍
Thanks mate :)
Thx for your videos. Always so cool to follow. Keep going on !
By the french guy ! ^^
Cheers buddy :)
Love these install type of videos! Keep it up i can't wait to see more install videos!
Ηey dude really nice video...just wondering where can I find an expansion tank and a hose kit for a Peugeot 207 GT 1,6 THP ? Really looking forward to installing one.
NICE HOP UP KIT
Fantastic video !!!! Congratulations great job. 1 more subscribed
for 60/40 ratio, it has to be 3.78L coolant, 2.52L water, total of 6.3L.
60% of 6.3L is 3.78L
40% of 6.3L is 2.52L
Not 1.5L of water.
To make it easy to calculate for the ratio, divide 60 by 40 to get 1.5, then divide the amount of coolant (3.78L in this case) by the 1.5. This will give you 2.52L which is how much water you need. Will work for all ratios.
dimeitry He now has 76% coolant and 24% water.
Somewhere around that 75/25 mark.
1.5 + 3.78 = 5.28 L total
3.78/5.28 = 71.6%
1.5/5.28 = 28.4%
dimeitry I was thinking the same thing, I was like "your math is terrible" hahaha
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS FOR EVER!!!! my R56 has a terrible coolant leak but i just havent had the time to replace it. i want to upgrade the system. i think that the plastic parts are shit! thank you so much for the video!!!
Not a problem buddy!! I'm glad this video helped you out :)
Nice video man! i used to work at the factory where they make the mini!
Oh no way!! Thats awesome. Maybe you put something together on mine ;)
Haha i can do that, tho only thing is i life in Holland :P
I have no mini but i love ur videos
did you ever update the rad ? if so where did you find an upgraded one.
What a guy. What a guy.
i like the hose idea, but doesn't oil melt those types of hoses. i know oil is not in the coolant, but what about the inter-cooler and just changing the oil ? also with the bigger inter-cooler would that put stress on the rad/rad fan ?
Hey did you disconnect the battery at all, I’m afraid to because I had the whole motherboard go bad from a jump start or a battery change… minis computer has so many sensors we need disconnected on this job…. Please LMK THANKS
Where can I find mishimoto tubing for mini clubman f54?
it’s been a year since this video was uploaded, I’m not sure if you found a coolant tank. ECS has a Forge tank that works well
Can you find me a complete kit for a 92 prelude? I can't find it anywhere. Everything but that
Just ordered the same kit in black so it has that same oem look
How long did it take you to replace all the coolant hoses
How is the radiator and radiator fan working out?
:) Hi.
Nice video!!
Can I ask you a question?
Mi daughter 2008 Mini Cooper coolant is overflowing out of the expansión tank, it was ok before I replaced the water pump, so I end up replacing thermostat and water pipe and still doing the same I carefully follow a bleeding coolant system from a tutorial and no luck:(
No sure what is going on??
I really want to see the Mini on track !
On me too!! This cold weather (up north) is killing me!! I wanna get the mini on the track ASAP
Silicone hoses have been proven to be more of an issue than factory many times over. Factory hoses are very good on an R56. Replace the pump t stat and crossover pipe and you should be good.
Just changed my heat exchanger gasket and turbo oil feed line because I have oil leaks. I can say it is a pain in the ass to put the car in service radiator position. I have a R 56 N 14 engine from 2008. And also rust is starting to show. Only on the headlight I lost 4 of the screws because they got stuck on the bushing and melt the plastic. Anyway be prepared because is not as simple as you see in RUclips 😁
Can u please show me were is the place to bleed the coolling sistem in the mini! Thank you
There is a bleeder screw on the thermostat
I bought that expansion tank for my 04 mini and worked.. but needs a pressure cap.. the twist on cap won't hold pressure.. going to buy the m7 tank. Just from my experience with my car anyways..
I see that you got new wheels for the mini
I was looking for a metal version of that water pipe and the thermostat. Hate these plastic cooling parts. Nobody makes it. Tons of ppl have problems with those parts
Great video.Can you tell me please the water pipe from the thermostat to the water pump, How is it secured? Is it a pull out clip same as the thermostat end? Thanks buddy..
It is sandwiched between the passenger side of the engine block, and the thermostat on the other side of the block. You have to more the thermostat do replace it.
ı am watching from turkey. I lıke your videos. :)
Responding from Canada :) Cheers!!
Why do I feel like he did the math wrong? 60/40 right? He did 40% of the amount of coolant, not the full system capacity. Lets say your car takes 6 litres capacity. So a 50/50 mixture would mean 3 litres of coolant and 3 litres of water. A 60/40 mixture would mean 3.6 litres of coolant and 2.4 litres of water. I just feel like his numbers are off. I could be wrong though.
serpentine belt broke and now im leaking coolant. any one knows why?
Hey Milan! can u please do an instructional video how to fix heater problems for my volskwagen golf. it doesnt heat as much. only a 1/3 of the half of my temp gauge on the dash if you know what I mean. I'm from calgary which is cold so maybe thats a factor? Would greatly appreciate it. thanks!
You could just have to bleed your coolant system to release any air, and top it the expansion tank.
milanmastracci I'll give it a shot! AND also because I was thinking it might have something to do with my car's thermostat?
Thinking about getting a mini to work on as well. Pros vs Cons ?
As long as you aren't doing body work to fix it (rust), you're in the clear. Also, plan on purchasing a Bentley's service manual :)
As it goes for the work, its pretty straight forward like most cars. Its kinda like working on the accord, but with a lot less room.
How do you get the lower passenger side radiator hose off? My hose clamps are rotated to the top making it really hard to remove. Any tips?
Angled needle nose pliers, or hose clamp pliers.
@@milanmastracci I would need to completely take it apart to get to that. So guess what, that hose is going to stay rubber until I can get to that.
Danke 👍👍👍👍👍
No problem :)
Ay bro can you help me out in choosing what type of wheel spacers I would need?
You're in luck :) I'm going to be doing a video regarding spacers soon!!
Great vid, change belt vid coming soon?
Coming? Yes. Soon? I dunno lol
Love the mini videos, got a 2007 mini cooper s myself :D
Thanks buddy!! You would be able to do the same mods as me than :)
milanmastracci yeah I was definitely thinking about doing that :D
god damn that mini seems like a pain in the ass to work on , cant imagine how long it would take to change something like a clutch
It would actually be not too bad because you can move the entire engine/trans forward a few inches because the subframe can slide :) Neat feature with these things.
Thanks for the video! I think you are the only Tuber that has mentioned the water pipe. That same piece disintegrated on me at the water pump end. I've been working on this thing all afternoon and I haven't taken my manifold off yet... You mentioned that the pipe just sandwiches in between the pump and the thermostat with an o-ring. Is that correct? Just push the pump end in and then install the thermostat to get that pipe installed?
I need to know the same buddy is the pump end held in with a push clip like the stat end?? Thank you
Anthony Hampson its been a while since i did this, but i believe it just pushes in and when you mount the TStat it sandwiches the pipe in and keeps the pipe from coming out.
@@BartMink Thank you buddy. Top man looks like a great afternoons work Dam plastic parts only bmw hey.
I did a rad upgrade on my car just put in a diesel version of my car no problem
why don't you paint the expansion tank in blue ?
it would look much nicer than the aluminum one and its OEM
when you removed the old thermostat, there is no seal in it.i think it is still stucked in your block
Please .. is n14 engine cooling pipes same as n18 ..??????
Yes they are.
what will u use for carpet cleanner
Very easy. Nothing lol carpet will probably get removed
how is 1,5 litres of water and 3.78 litres of coolant a 60 40 mix? its seems as if youmultiplied 3.78 by .4 however that does not give you a 60 40 mix, if you calculate it correctly it gives about 2.5 litres per 3.78 litrres of coolant. hope you see this:)
Where did you get or where you search for those upgrades?? Nice video bro
I thought of it as an upgrade, and googled to see if such parts existed :)
shared and liked ur video and first to comment
Killed it buddy :) I love the love!!
milanmastracci :)
to me the your blue looks almost like a light purple. great vids
I'm doing the exact same thing to my 2009 JCW. I like that you took off the intake manifold to get more room. I think I will do that too and while its off remove the carbon from the intake valves. I really like that water pump. Where did you pick that up?
If you own a 2009 JCW the water pump has already been upgraded to metal. It is part of the JCW package.
@@tmc6663 Mine ended up being plastic. Maybe they phased that in after my Vin . I got the metal replacement one.
What other upgrades do the 2009 JCW have?
What other upgrades do the 2009 JCW have?
@@parvb Sorry for the late reply. I am pretty much still doing this same mod. Just my coolant hoses are Blue generic (ebay). I have the intercooler and all the intake tubes to replace just like this video. On top of this video I took off the intake manifold and already cleaned the carbon off the valves with a solvent a pick and some brass brushes. That actually only takes a few hours to do and is not very difficult and should restore performance and fuel mileage if I ever finish this project! I am going to do the noise maker delete and I have a more tapered charge pipe that helps spool up the turbo a bit quicker that I have been running for a long time (the inlet turbo pipe on these cars breaks at about 50K miles so just do it. I have the Alta spring that helps you retain boost. I have a forge blow off valve seat that keeps the stock valve but blows off to the engine bay so you can hear it better. The stock blow off valves fail pretty early too, and so does the high pressure fuel pump so keep an eye on that stuff. The stock JCW intake is actually pretty good so that is stock. I am in California so I cant go too overboard on this or it wont pass smog. For suspension I have the Bilstien sport struts that are shorter than stock on NM springs. I have a 20mm rear bar on urethane bushings (which creak bad, need to fix that). I have adjustable rear control arms. I am going to put in front urethane bushings and also redo the control arm bushings in urethane as well. I stiffened up to lower motor strut mount by filling the gaps with silicon. It was worn out so now it makes it shift more positively. Pretty much feels like new. But to get it better I might get a new arm that has solid urethane bushings. Huge project and I am a master of procrastination when I hit a snag. To make it worse I am not using a manual, just youtube videos to do this work (which is probably most of the problem right there).
Anyone else see the carbon fiber hood near the beginning of video? Lol leaning up against the wall by Leanne
excellent video man, get urself a GoPro camera, itll make shit easier to record
Have you upgraded your turbo hoses?
It really catch my atencion why is so rust the underneath of your MINI??
You have a lot of pieces with rust is that normal in MINI’s??
Thanks
Well, being a car that was driven in the winter, I guess it is normal. I will be addressing all of it and making it look new again
Dude, distilled water reacts with aluminum to get back minerals. Use filtered water instead!😎
Did you use the stock hose clamps
I can't recall, but you should only use spring clamps for the coolant system
@@milanmastraccithanks for advice, I'm having trouble with installing one spring clamp it doesn't matter if I have it fully compressed or if I add lubricant to slip it on it won't fit and unfortunately nobody carries constant tension hose clamps. Junk yard run is what I'm thinking now
I would imagine it would help you out mounting a GoPro to your chest or head so that you can work on the car as well as show your audience how you are changing the car, with all the parts you are buying i would imagine a GoPro would be a small expense for you. Just an idea!!
E valuta la pena di farlo?
Quanti chilometri a già la auto.
Perché io o anche una mini Cooper s del 2009 ma ci sono sempre cose da fare la mini che o io ha 1380000
Vale la pena di fare anche da me quel lavoro che hai fatto da te ,anche sulla mia mini?
I found this aftermarket radiator for mini cooper www.ecstuning.com/b-csf-parts/high-performance-aluminum-radiator/7016~csf/?gclid=CNeejeCgvNECFQlWDQodU6QDyQ Seems pretty solid. Fits all model mini-coopers. I believe Mishimoto makes a radiator that fits MIni Coopers too. Doesn't that fit your model?
What deg does you mini run?
When I get it running, I'll let you know lol
what was all that tape for?
Allen Winget to keep any dirt dust from entering the engine
60：40 = 3：2 mix. so should be 2/3 of the coolant bottle of water instead 1/2 bottle.
you don't have to take the intake manifold the throttle body and the head light could have save you alot of time those crossover pipes are common problem that's where my leak was coming from
today whil i was driving my car
i felt a smell from the engin bay
soo i stooped and i opened the hood
guess what
i found a huge water leak in the system
i was terrified
i taught it was from the gasket
so i stooped the engin let it cooled down and i removed an aluminium part
u know it's protecting from the heat of the exhaust collector
soo i found that the same plastic tube has messed up like your Mini does
know the car is parcked in the house :(
i have to fix it and it's raining without stooping and i have no garage :(
James Hatfield why -_-
James Hatfield Don't need to being rude comment.
Reading this gave me cancer
do more performance related stuff
I got lots :)
This mini is a perfect example why I respect german cars but would rather have a japanese car. The engineering is so intense that it makes it a pain to work on.
is your mini awd?
FWD. Only the larger body styled mini have AWD as an option.
Reuse old piping adapter?
What piping adapter?
milanmastracci the black adapter with steel clip you put at the end of the piping connection to the tank or engine part.
I dond sea you you to put the air from the water is one pipe on thermostat you mos reles thet pipe and wait water com out .
you need a new belt its all cracked
about sub woofer bro
please make a video
rad rad rad rad rad rad rad
I believe you got the wrong coolant water ratio!!!
New Wheels?
In the works :)
John Works
The mini is a little cramped to work with I never noticed how tight the engine bay is 😲
Yeah they stuff every little bit of space with parts lol
milanmastracci yeah! It's giving you a learning curve with other cars to, so I guess that's not too bad 👍
Behr is the one that makes the radiators for most German cars if you don't have a Behr u should go for one I've read horrible stories of oem non Behr radiators.
Any open forum's that are German-Japanese friendly now the collaboration is more concrete for cars using German and or Japanese parts? I'll take an invite into a good JCW'S or Copper S any gen forum. Their everywhere around here. Second gens are flooding the used car lots, auctions and junkyards quickly. Id love to find them homes at least. Spare parts/part's car worst case. Could of cleaned house where I was last week- 3L Supra TT's, 4.0L's and 4.2's in soo any Lexus'. Beautiful '94 DelLe Sol with a K-Tuned engine I really wanted. A few other Honda's an old Golf's under $2-3K that would go for 5x that up here. Toyota vehicles were overpriced as was BMW and most newer German cars.
24th like me
you should think about straightening your rad fins if you're not planning on replacing your rad bud
Milan, I think your math is off on your coolant percentages. Water percent needs to be calculated based on the total amount of fluid.
where do you live and all your cars have rust?
I like in Ontario, Canada. We get hammered in the winter with Salt when it snows, which is a car killer.
A 2.5 car garage epoxy coat is only $100 at home depot
looks like 80/20 coolant ratio not 60/40
milanmastracci
i dont know if u know this already. your Honda Accord u have has a airbag recall. heres the link so u know. whdh.com/news/honda-recalls-772000-us-vehicles-for-defective-airbags/?News_-_WHDH_Boston
