E46 Comp Car Goes Rear Mount Radiator

Chris and Crickett dive into the process of converting Duarte's orange E46 to a rear mount radiator! In this episode, we won't be diving into the plumbing just yet, but you'll get an in-depth look at the cutting, placement, and the intricate shroud process. The best part? We've utilized parts and components from the green E46, allowing us to take some clever shortcuts.

This channel is so UNDERRATED. I actually like this better then LZs channel they go through the build process and I actually learn while being entertained. cricket is a boss. Now if they could do a Mercedes 190e build.

[@kzarnold3678]

I don't know much about the 190e but with a quick Google search they look good in race trim.

[@DriftHQ]

Thank you for the kind words. Mercedes is in the future for sure 😉

🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 thank you we do our best to show the goods 🤠

[@rwheelbot6241]

Would you guys consider doing a mk3 supra build? Maybe dare to keep the 7mgte?

[@DriftHQ]

That would be interesting!

[@rwheelbot6241]

@DriftHQ wtf?! BTW I love this channel! You guys are the greatest! I find it interesting that you guys have some of me and my friend's same idiosyncrasies with wordplay. It's like we have been in the same friend circle for years! Keep up the good s***!

[@Crickett.DriftHQ]

That’s what happens when you spend 10 years together in a shop 😂😂😂

[@rwheelbot6241]

@Crickett.DriftHQ you guys should drift comp with the two E46s that Duarte owns that are the most similar. And please mk3 supra. It would be cheap and you could keep the cool 80's music.

[@inkijo]

Whats the machine called in english at 14:20?

I’m here for the more consistent videos ❤🙌🏽

Drift battles with you drift hq boys would be awesome 🔥🔥

[@DriftHQ]

We need to do it!

[@zache8135]

Been thinking about moving the radiator to the rear on my e46. I like how simple yet effective this design is and the fact that you can keep the rear window and not have a massive firewall

[@DriftHQ]

It really helps a ton with heat and space

[@supertedogpriken]

i just love your videos. And hearing you are putting out 2 every week is a great thing.

[@DriftHQ]

Glad you enjoy it!

@DriftHQ I'm on drift hq website and it's all ur fault !!

[@OlsonGarage]

Explain the rear tube structure on the car, what was cut out and what was left and why.

[@Crickett.DriftHQ]

So for this build we have only cut out in between the frame rails from the spare tire well. That way we could build a fuel cell cradle for it. I’ll make sure to show what is left and what we cut out in the next video where we run the coolant lines and install winters quick change.

[@DriftHQ]

Thank you dude

[@markblankenship3297]

So I have a question for Cricket, is it a requirement to have a dry erase hand to be a master fabricator?

[@Crickett.DriftHQ]

No but it helps 😂😂😂 I write it on my hand cause I lose everything….. and that’s no exaggeration. So once I finish the piece I’m working on, boom clean canvas for more crickett math

[@shaunlatter5263]

If you guys have down time between two builds you should brew your own beer for a video. Build a kegerator for it. You could call it Drift HBrew. Even could make teams n see who’s beer is better.

[@DriftHQ]

Haha we love this

[@shaunlatter5263]

[@blackrogue86]

How much would a rear window spoiler/roof spoiler effect the rear mount radiator.

[@Crickett.DriftHQ]

Probably not as much as you would think. With good fans, they will pull air regardless and drift cars if they are doing it right are never driving straight anyways 😅

[@riddlemethis01]

I absolutely love the evolution of the fab work. You guys smah it

[@tylerhoeft8024]

In for the drift battle!

[@TamarrionMartinez]

Questions for Polish Adam: Which is better the 8hp or DCT? How fast can someone swap either (8hp/DCT) into their drift build and have it running and driving? Would you have to be in the same location of the customers car in order for the build to be programmed correctly? I only ask this 👆 because I’ve seen videos where some guys have said they haven’t had success with reaching you or Bartek regarding their builds.

[@Polish-Adam]

Hello You can swap as fast as mechanical part is done. Most engine-tranamission combos are supportem by different manufacturers of adapter plates. The parts that need to be fabricated are transmission mounts and propshaft. As long as the ECU is well known we don't have to be at the same place as the car. Usually we want to come over where there are specific features that we need to implement in specific project.

[@TamarrionMartinez]

@@Polish-Adam Thank you for answering my questions Adam. 💚

[@HarlemsGarage]

Thanks now i can poorly try to copy your rear mount setup 🤣

[@Crickett.DriftHQ]

Do it 🫶🏻 then tell us about it

[@2JZLS]

I like E46’s. My dream _street_ E46 is a $2000 coupe, with an Explorer 8.8” swap stock 3.73LSD, G-Force outlaw axles, DSS Carbon driveshaft, GR1500 Faceplated T56 Magnum, and a SBE Gen-4 5.3L Aluminum LC9 yielding around 1600hp turned down. Then my dream E46 _drift_ car is a RTS Winters-GSR combo with a brand new 2jzgte longblock making a little 800whp. I love ❤ cars.

[@shaunlatter5263]

A cool build would be a no fab all parts of the drift hq shelf build that the average person could build in there own home garage with out the fancy equipment.

A budget build comp between the two of you would be good to watch, but you build a car for each other then set your selves 3 challenges to see who wins.

Ran hardlines for a decades, never an issue. Also once you get a hard line made, you have those measurement jigs to make extras and will cost less than an hose+anfittings.
