I love that you actually got on the phone with an engineer from Valvoline!!! This is the kind of content I love cause it’s not just a person reading the product label, but getting the actual science from an engineer.
You know, when I heard Ben say "we're going to fab some mounts to make it fit", I was actually expecting to see a pro doing it. So glad that he actually did it himself! Great work, Ben!
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!
@@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.
rotary community is going strong. mazda still makes them new, and if you do any motorsport on a rotary, you can sign up for a mazda compclub and get a new engine for less than a rebuild will run you.
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.
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.
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 👌
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...
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? 😂
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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😏
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! 👌🏼
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 😊
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
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
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 😂
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
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.
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.
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 RUclips channels! :D
This Keisuke Takahashi is way more friendly than in the anime
LOL
Ben's description saying "Master Fabricator" while hes on call is peak humor
Yes, had me a good chuckle with that
a rare sight of keisuke improving his cooling system
The blonde hair is actually fire ngl
Unironically it does look good
It does look kool huh
IT REALLY DOES, wish he would keep it, it suits him ;D

It's pretty sweet but I'm a sucker for black hair so change it back !

Good Job Ben. XD
This is hands down the best looking rx7 I've ever seen.
@Jim Cornette No, I just don't like when people heavily modify them, since I really like the look of the car stock already...
What? You need to watch more youtube ruclips.net/video/FnlfI6rV6wE/видео.html start with this one.
I don't know looked into some more rx7's and this one is still the best looking imo, call me basic or whatever but that's just how I feel... :p
5:37 Ben: *looks at rx7*
Rx7: *blushes and looks away shyly*
Rx7: b-baka..
Well, it is Valentine's Day.
This is the best initial D episode ive'd ever seen! Watching keisuke takahashi bleed his rx7 and fabricating himself a mount. Nice.
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!
Best Car enthusiasts channel on RUclips no cap 💯‼️‼️‼️
A rare sight of Keisuke Takahashi fixing his car by his own instead of his mechanics
FYI Ben Mishimoto makes a low temp thermostat that opens around 70 C. Available on Banzai Racing’s website.
Why would you use that? The ideal operating temperature is somewhere close 100°C.
@@TrinomCZ There's a bit of both camps are true.

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.
oh look he changes his hair colour according to the scene...how brilliant!!
You know the rotary community is in big trouble when you write 'rotary RX7' in the thumbnail
rotary community is going strong. mazda still makes them new, and if you do any motorsport on a rotary, you can sign up for a mazda compclub and get a new engine for less than a rebuild will run you.
Its to clarify between the piston K series RX7 on the channel

@@StanleyKubick1 wait really???
Well, I'm going to have to take advantage of this in the future then
Lmao
Quality over quantity over here...... production 🔥🔥🔥🇰🇪🇰🇪 like your hair
Best thumbnail by far
yeah he does look like anime boy, but huge respect to this guy, who is working on his car without any help, true car guy
Compared to short Ben?
These people get a lot of help. They don't even have to worry about paying for the parts.
Glad you got it sorted, it deserved that Koyorad after not blowing up during the trip :D
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.

"A little bit of fab and it should be..."
me: come on, this is prime dad joke time
"Perfect"
Oh, come on. It's FABULOUS
Ah yes the missed opportunity.. A fable as old as time
Those Koyorads are super legit. Great episode and congrats on your new title master fabricator 💪
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 👌
For the next road trip you guys should do a stance car and a lifted car
as a fellow rx7 project car guy, i absolutely love your determination!!!
You guys are at the tippy top of the mountain and nobody else is even close. Keep it up. 🍻
Damn Keisuke, this is great.
ma dudes, run some high temp hosing from the tailpipe out through the garage door, you can even use dryer vent hose.
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...
Lol same, glad to know someone is still playing

Project D coming together nicely
We all wanna see more of the k20 EK hatch. Keep those Mazdas in the garage.
Loving the rx7 build series! The road trip was amazing to watch!
one of the best quality car content on youtube
That thing makes some beautiful noises
Very smart keeping radiator an off the shelf unit bud!

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

lmao okay I see you
Love your hair. The quality of the production is awesome, thank you!
Man i'm not gonna lie, i want the next roadtrip to come so bad
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.

Stop teasing me with your yellow rx7🤣. Hopefully be there soon 👌

Ben, your legend as a master fabricator precedes you. At least more than anything you've ever accomplished in your life anyways...
Would have been nice to see the result comparison from your road trip series Vs after the radiator change.

good job Keisuke love the hair bud fits super well
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 😊

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!
I envy the time and resources you guys have with your projects. How to see more in the future. Viewing from the Philippines!
Nice, now time to sort that turbo inlet air routing so it doesn't suck air behind the IC :)
Everything to do with both of your rx7s i love
I love my Hondas but there is nothing like the sound of a rotary!!
This is literally a reality show for cars LMAO
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
Man I can't remember Keisuke being this too friendly and humble
Might wanna put some ducting on the rad for better cooling. HKS does it with their v-mount system.
Yes I would love to check out some *hose* with Keisuke.
Video quality is next level.
I bet you guys had a good laugh about using that thumbnail 😂
Mad respect
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 😂

Thank youuuuuu for using Koyo instead of mishimoto !!!!!!
finally, i love this series
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
Motivation too fix my 03 mach1 cooling system today before cars an coffe
Hey Ben! Why not use a vacuum tool to do the coolant refill? No bleeding required... and you can find leaks before you fill.
Nice finally running smooth.
Ben's hair style is way better then any k swap on earth 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣😎
you could always fab up aluminum pipe for the rad hoses
Ben without glasses hits different
