Mazda MX-5 Skidnation Coolant Reroute Install: My LAST Hope To AVOID Bonnet Vents?
Mazda MX-5 Skidnation Coolant Reroute Install: My LAST Hope To AVOID Bonnet Vents?
Hello guys, welcome back to Car Obsession and welcome once more to 'Monique', my turbocharged Mk1 Mazda MX-5, or Eunos Roadster, to be pedantic. In this video I am fitting the Skidnation Coolant Reroute Kit (purchased from Bofi Racing: bofiracing.co.uk/performance/cooling/re-route-kits/skidnation-premium-coolant-reroute-kit-for-mazda-mx-5-na-nb/) as I'm hoping it will save Monique from needing bonnet vents.
Why use a coolant reroute? As much as the Mazda MX-5 is a well designed car (apart from the rust) the OEM coolant setup means that cylinder 4 gets a little neglected when it comes to coolant flow, which could spell big trouble for forced inducted 5s and/or track MX-5s.
The Skidnation Coolant Reroute Kit moves the thermostat from the front of the engine to the rear of the engine and there is a new coolant hose provided that sends coolant to the rear of the engine as well.

    Tbh Aaron even for track use the Wilwoods are an unnecessary expense, especially given the power cars come out of Mtec running. Big brakes from a mk2.5 sport mated with hawk DTC pads are more than enough. I've run them at 250whp at numerous tracks with great results..You may be heavier on the middle pedal of course!

    • @CarObsession
      @CarObsession 3 дні тому

      Hi there, thanks for watching. I did spend a long time pondering whether or not to go down the MK2.5 route, but I didn't want to commit my money that setup only to find it still wasn't sufficient and then have pay out AGAIN for the big brake kit, so I thought I'd just cut out the middle man and go straight for the BBK.

    Great content! I’m not entirely sure I believe it yet…. I’ll reserve judgement until I research this method. But I’m certainly intrigued and also pleased to see videos on this subject. If only a mechanic could now inspect the back of the inlet valves to see if they’re cleaner than before…. That would be proof.

      Hi Paul, thanks for watching. I can see where you're coming from, but I did genuinely feel a difference in driving after it had been carried. They use to do a before and after, but because of the added cost (due to extra time required of course) they stopped doing it.

      Good question! I can only guess that you’d use a bore scope to look at the back of the inlet valves?

    • @UKCCAutoTechs
      @UKCCAutoTechs 6 днів тому

      The easy answer to this is every engine requires carbon cleaning (from 20k miles onwards and every 10-12k miles), as explained in the video its about prevention not cure. You take it as read that you must change your oil, no need to scope for that. Carbon in the internal combustion engine has been the bane of the industry since the engine wad designed, pre today's technology it was common place for enthusiasts to strip their own engines down and clean them manually. Unfortunately, with today's engine being much more complicated, high pressure, and with Emissions Systems in place this makes that impossible but also the build up is far worse so it's necessary to clean regularly. I hope that helps.

    Haven't Vauxhall (like a lot of brands) lost their way! This cars had real presence! And a good blend of ride, handling, refinement and value. Absolutely nothing like it available on the market today, from Vauxhall or anyone else - They're all putting out multitudes of horrid little "crossovers" and SUVs with pathetically small and heavily boosted 3-cyl engines. A world away from the naturally aspirated V6 RWD awesomness that is this old 90s space ship. The facelift 3.2 model was even nicer as well!

      Correct me if i’m wrong, doesn’t that milky color mean you likely have radiator fluid mixing with oil? Head gasket has started to go perhaps? Let me know what you think that color indicates.

    • @CarObsession
      @CarObsession 6 днів тому

      No....this comment has been a few times...it's just condensation most likely caused by doing shorter journeys. If I had a head gasket issue I'd have other symptoms such as white smoke from the exhaust, oil in the coolant reservoir, and a milky oil cap, none of which I have. I work in a car repair garage and the guys I work with say there is no problem (two of techs also have oil catch cans fitted to their car). I'll be honest, I'm getting tired of such comments being made.... Especially when there's people say mad things such as the catch can will stop my inlet manifold being lubricated 🤦🏽.

    Nice that someone finally touches the topic of tyres for the seicento. There are no other offerings than Nankang if someone wants to keep the standard sporting 165/55r13 size or the standard 175/50r14 size for the 14 inch wheels. My experience with the XR611 wasn't great and I am reluctant in trying the Econex NA1. It makes more sense to go for 175/50r13 and even then the sportier choice would be the Nankang NS2R (especially if someone wants to do trackdays).

      Thanks mate, although to be honest, I doubt there will be any more upgrades as this was a short term purchase. Thanks for watching.

    Is it better than the new Hyundai i10 to drive and comfort, I was very disappointed to see the i10 get a dont buy in the which magazine.

      Mmm I'd have to drive back to back to give you a definitive answer, sorry. Mind you, you'd be better off comparing an i20 to a Swift as opposed to the i10. Thanks for watching 👍🏽.

    I have the previous model SZ5 Mild Hybrid with 1.0L 3 cyl Boosterjet Engine which has 109bhp. Got to say very underwhelmed by the new model, it just looks like a facelift of my car. Slightly different at the front, and the tail lamps slightly different as well. Interior is almost identical apart from the larger infotainment screen. Overall the car is not that much different. The main disappointment is the engine only delivering a measly 81bhp, don't get me wrong I love my Swift, but to release a new model almost identical with a lesser powered engine that is so much slower is a backwards step by Suzuki. BTW having now had a test drive in the new model a few weeks ago I can confirm it is like a snail on valium compared to The 1.0 SZ5 Boosterjet Engine, I was actually shocked at how much slower it was. Again I absolutely love my current Swift as it has everything, but current owners will be massively put off by a ridiculous loss in performance of a so called new model, and many like myself will not purchase this 'clone' of the previous model with a woefully underpowered engine.

      They have got rid of the concealed back door handles (to make it look like a sports 3-door car) and replaced them with ordinary ones. Can't see how that is an improvement A larger infotainment screen is a positive though. Not sure about the two-tone interior.

      Hi there, thanks for watching. It's your opinion of course, but I disagree that it looks almost identical on both the inside and outside.

    • @CarObsession
      @CarObsession 20 днів тому

      Maybe there was a issue with concealed door handles? Or perhaps it was cheaper just to make the car with conventional door handles. Thanks for watching.

      @@CarObsession As I said I love my Swift but the new one is just so slow compared to The Boosterjet Engine, it's like having your mobile phone now replaced with the one you had about 6 years ago imagine going back to that. The loss of performance in new Swift is the just awful. Great vid and thanks for posting it.
