In this week's video, Brandon Fitch gives us all the details on our updated Coolant Reroute kits! Our new kits have even more options, including a 3D printed hose bracket, and an adapter kit to cleanly route the coolant to the radiator inlet on stock style radiators. Updated kits are now in stock and available on our website!

Brandon you spoke the truth when you said you don't have to have it. The best thing you can do is get rid of that plastic rad and get an aluminum one and you solve a lot of your problems right there

@FlyinMiataVideo 2 күн бұрын

The biggest problem with the stock rad is the brittleness of the end tanks over time. Second biggest is the fact that it’s not a crossflow. Simply banging a generic aluminum radiator in the car won’t necessarily solve any overheating problems, alas - and it definitely won’t improve coolant flow through the engine. But a good rad is required, no question.

@Rumnhammer Жыл бұрын

I would suggest this to anyone that is going to have their engine out. I would love to put one on my car, but don't think it is worth the effort since I already have your crossflow, and stage one kit. If I have to have the engine out in the future I will get one. On the other hand I did purchase one of these for my sons car since we had to have his engine out to rebuild, just glad you are offering the upright adapter hose separately as we are going with a stock replacement to stay on budget, and this will make routing much easier. We are going with ITBs on my sons car as well so I think the question of heat transfer, I think would be neglegable at most, and if we were concerned about it you could always make a heat shelf to mount under the ITBs and over the hose.

FYI the Gates #22436 coolant hose fits the miata reroute perfectly for a NA setup just gotta trim a little bit off on the radiator end of the hose. very cheap $15 dollar molded hose.

We've tried to make these as easy as possible for everyone, but it's hard to predict every possible configuration people have. Hopefully the new hose kits and brackets make them more appealing to more people!

For the ITB guy, why are you pulling hot engine bay air on purpose? Build an intake that directs cooler air into your ITBs. Then you can stop worrying about a radiator hose passing in front of them…

@alikat1951 Жыл бұрын

How about with LS coil kit and Fastforward Supercharger on the intake manifold. Will it work?

@FlyinMiataVideo Жыл бұрын

It works with our old Big Spark kit and other coil kits we've seen, but we haven't tested every kit on the market. It will probably work with the supercharger kit, but we haven't had one in the shop to test it. You might have to use a longer hose to get around the intake. Reach out to our customer support team with a few pics and I'm sure they could give you a better answer and/or suggestions to make it work.

That car belongs to Ethan in our customer support department. It's a custom grey paint (Paint code s4729), not a wrap, and it currently doesn't run, so we don't have any pictures outside at the moment.

I wouldn't be surprised if a reroute kit on a daily driver would help prevent a blown head gasket in the long-term.

@FlyinMiataVideo Жыл бұрын

We're a big fan of preventative maintenance, and evening out the cylinder temperatures with a reroute should help, but we haven't done any definitive long term testing.

Would a cobalt reroute hose fit on this kit. I'm surprised you guys don't have a molded hose for this kit.

Could you make it an option to swap the 01-05 headgasket for the earlier version in your headgasket and engine rebuild kits? I'm looking at ordering the headgasket kit for my 01 with your reroute, but not sure I want the kit vs piecing one together to get the earlier gasket.

Why not make a 3D printed timing cover plate for those people that want to remove the water neck? Sell it as an option like the hose mount. It seems that would be pretty simple and not too expensive to produce.

@Rumnhammer Жыл бұрын

They already do, that is the optional part he was talking about. It's not a big deal, it just closes up the hole in the timing cover that is left if you remove the neck.

How is moving the thermostat not a big difference?

@mastercricket7626 Жыл бұрын

Still has same purpose n has no diverse affects i have mine moved to a inline and does great most days i dont see much over 170 hardly ever has to even open (its a 190 thermostat)

@FlyinMiataVideo Жыл бұрын

Moving the thermostat to the back of the engine makes a big difference with flow and evening out the cylinder temperatures, but since it's so close to the head, keeps the thermostat completely functional.

Looks expensive to just hook a radiator hose to the back of the engine? Just saying. Thank you though. Thumbs up!

@FlyinMiataVideo 11 ай бұрын

The real reason for the coolant reroute is to redirect the route of coolant in the head so that all the cylinders cool more evenly, leading to better efficiency and longer engine life.
