Hornet: The text and links from your shopping list post are now on the MiataTurbo Wiki Thanks for posting that up

 

Ha! I'm infamous.

Hopefully, those links will stay alive for awhile.

 

pretty easy install just annoying because you have to get your hands behind the block should take about an hour at most 2.

 

I have implemented the old begi reroute with a twist.
I'm using a 3 way ball valve to adjust the water flow to heater/top rad hose.
I should be able to test it on a track come summer time.
Parts cost around 60-70$.

 

Yuck!

What in the hell....?

 

He was already told in his thread that it is a stupid idea, but I guess he did it anyway.

Congratulations of fixing a problem that shouldn't have existed in the first place and gaining nothing in return.

 

a 3 way valve? Did you even use pipe tape on the front of it? That looks horrible and unreliable.

 

You mean you don't like your engine bay to look like the plumbing section at home depot?

 

Plumbing: Not just for your ******* anymore.

 

At least he didn't use PVC right?

"But guys I used PVC sealer!"

(Which BTW is the most toxic **** in the world)

 

Pretty much. The purple primer will permanently stain ANYTHING, and that glue... Even in open areas that **** will make you dizzy

 

You can laugh all you want.
Temp balance was checked with an IR gun. Stock way #4 is hottest as obvious.
Driving with the reroute the temps are more or less BALANCED through out.
Means #1 and #2 run hotter but as long as I'll see less than 212 at the track I don't care.

I was never a believer of terms like "may" or "could happen" like many of you use. Show me facts.
I run with UG and the temps are fine. No leaks whatsoever.

I know its a pretty old thread but if anyone here can give a few pointers, it would greatly help. I tried looking on this thread in the coolant reroute and under race prep, but I couldn't quite find my specific question. I want to go and reroute the cooling, I've seen some videos, and have done countless of searches and read different options, but I have a concern. If I go megasquirt, will I still need the connection/wiring to the temp sensors? I've seen some videos requiring to extend the wiring, and then others just leave the sensor open. Is that because the megasquirt already reads engine temps? I know that when going MS, you're able to delete, or properly said, remove the Air mass flow sensor, but I'm not sure how it works in terms of cooling. The car currently is stock, 94 1.8 motor, eventually I want to go SC, and plans for car are weekend drives, cruise, meets/shows, occasional track days, and power golas between 200-220 WHP. I don't want to do it all in one shot, I'm taking it one-step at a time. If there is a thread with this , I'm really sorry in advance, and any redirecting would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

 

never mind, I did a few more searching and have found my answer! Please disregard thread....thanks!
