FG TURBO ENGINE BAY MODS + Oil and Coolant Service

[@robertarchbold8658]

when doing a coolant flush and filling the system back up make sure you smash the heater on so you flush the heater core as well

[@GetZukd]

What does the little bit right underneath the cap do?

[@UncleChoppChopp]

Gotta love Sarah. Have breakfast? Haha Breakfast is the most important meal of the day Zac!

[@brodsta1995]

the 2nd hose on the res connects to the thermostat housing and acts as a bypass for temp control for BA/BF

[@alanclarke5979]

The second line on the header tank goes to a bleed off nipple on the thermostat housing in the ba and bf models to prevent air locks and helps with filling. Looks nice mate, keep it up 🤙🤙🚗🚗💨💨💨💨

[@gtlegend007]

Correct i wonder why they deleted this on FGs. Cost savings?

[@Bdart93]

Invest in a earls oil feed line for your turbo mate! I’m sure you know the stock lines have a mini filter near the banjo and they tend to block up $120 better then $2K

[@timjames7709]

Probably the most important mod to do, I had to replace my turbo core in my BA Mk2 at 150K because that, I run after market lines and filter now!

[@ronstevens6973]

Hi zac Can you see the coolant level in the black tank

[@tyleratherton3616]

how do u know if the coolant is low?

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

I was thinking the same thing , also where’s the max level ?

[@1993kawasaki]

i guess you know its low when your car overheats

[@warrenkelly9191]

Take the tank cap off and have a look when you check your oil weekly??

[@craigbroderick8935]

Hi there... How do you see the coolant levels in a soild Black tank???

[@JT-152]

Craig Broderick wondering the same

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

Where is the Max level on the expansion tank ? Do u have to fill this tank all the way to the top ?

[@triplet5375]

That looks nice as mate, I'm looking at getting one but not sure weather to get black or chrome, both look good

[@matman429]

Its way cheaper buying your oil in a twenty liter container.I had to file some of the coolant tank neck on my aeroflow tank as there was a slight burr and the cap goes on so much easier.

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

Nulon full synthetic oils a very good no doubt about it , and an Australian company to boot , we should all support Aussie companies whenever we can. I personally use Penrite ( another Aussie company) HPR5 5w -40 Extra 10 full zinc - full synthetic in my 2004 BA , I have been told that Penrite oils are a better quality than Nulon oils , but each to their own . Just wait until the landlord finds the oil stain on the driveway lol . I learnt the hard way too , now I lay three or four newspapers under the oil drain container for when I remove the oil filter .

[@GENE_THE_NEMES1S]

Penrite is a good oil, but it stains the internals where Nulon has more detergents to keep the engine internals cleaner.. Plus Penrite can omit a strong unique Penrite fume

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

@@GENE_THE_NEMES1S Thanks for the tip .

[@smithy2]

I got my tank about the same time Zac installed his in this vid, I have to say mines pretty problematic, I keep looking coolant from the cap or over flow hose, every trip I have coolant out side the tank

[@FlickinTheBudgie]

Blacks great for seeing your coolant level

[@MY_USER_WAS_TAKEN]

If you check it weekly it's fine but it's a waste of time with a stock turbo the only time it's practical is for high mount turbo setups so you dont melt the stock plastic one

[@NAH7Z]

hell weird that i did a service on my fg and then theres a vid uploaded of you doing one as well haha

[@MV60]

I think it's weird he used the same oil I do and bought the same bottle of coolant I'll be picking up tomorrow. :D

[@GENE_THE_NEMES1S]

Just run a bit of 8mm silicone or rubber hose from that over flow outlet down to a lower point in the engine bay so if it does need to bleed off if will run out to the ground, so it doesn't make a mess of your bay.... Oh and "push down" and twist anticlockwise to remove filler cap 😉 And FYI.. Go get an actual blanking bung-holeo for that unused outlet from MSA 😁🤙🏻

[@jezmuscat6455]

I noticed that after you flushed out the old coolant, you didn't flush it out with a Hose! Getting any debris out. Also, not running the heater. Pretty unprofessional! The new Reservoir might look Great,but you can't tell if your coolant is dirty!

[@FeverK0]

Hey Zac, engine bay looks dope. Have you considered relocating the battery to the boot?

[@MV60]

Ah bro, what about the nipple under the cap? Does the cap block it?

[@warrenkelly9191]

Overflow outlet. Just run a bit of 8mm silicone hose to a lower point, so if it does need to bleed out, it'll go to ground instead of all over your nice new tank/engine bay :)

[@Dissentient]

Did you sort out all the warning lights on your dash?

[@MV60]

Those little band-aid shapes can cover them pretty well.

[@michaelniko3323]

Good stuff Zac love watching your videos bro. I think it’s time to put your rocket on the drag strip 👊🏼🙏🏼

[@EnkeiTenjin]

Did you turn your heater all the way hot Zac? Gotta fill the heater core brother.

[@mattaquilina5725]

Link for overflow bottle please !

[@aidenclancey1449]

Lookin clean 😍

[@ajszymala6048]

Are you going to be at Barnies?

[@stefandjordjevic1042]

Your pretty chill and you got a mad car so I’m subbin

[@1993kawasaki]

it doesn't go to another overflow tank, it goes to the top of the thermostat housing on the BA BF, i personally wouldn't use 1 of those alloy tanks cause you will never know when your coolant is low.

[@harleylongney7619]

This guys more concerned about aesthetics than anything else tbh..

Bro, when I was servicing my BA I said the exact same thing when I opened the oil filter box haha.

[@MKDLVL]

Put 20 inch fr gloss black Simmons on this and it will look so much better

[@EnkeiTenjin]

Fuck Simmons. They're so shit.

Doing the work on maxes side, nice. Can blame him for stains on the floor. :D

Remove the ecu/ecm an paint it black? Or match your paint , just dont paint over the barcode on the right hand side just place tape over it an paint away, everything under my bonnet is ego , just makes it look clean

[@MY_USER_WAS_TAKEN]

Ohw an to remove it saw into the top of the rivets so you can get a flatty onto it to unscrew them an replace the bolts with something practical

[@MY_USER_WAS_TAKEN]

I think haltec made a good video on it

[@xavmoto9551]

The service manual specifics 8.9L coolant, so yours was about dead on that

[@EnkeiTenjin]

Not all coolant works in all cars mate. Just be careful.

[@darrensice1550]

But when you are flushing your radiator and motor you should be using demineralised water with all new cars because there is way to many contaminates in tap water there’s a video about it on KZbin

[@JoshuaJohnson-ow2hn]

Buy a bench

[@jasonorlowski1775]

Does it just make sense ta just chuck on some gloves so u don't get oil an that over your hands.

[@unclejohn5012]

I tend to feel my oil as it comes out.

[@MrCampkill]

Real men don’t wear gloves.

[@EnkeiTenjin]

Ol mate just doesn't have the torque of the barra. Manual barras don't handle clutches well.

Swipez I ran 320kw from 100k’s to 115 then 400kw 900nm for the past 5000.My stock clutch is a weapon.Owned it since new so I know what’s in it.

[@aydenscott3259]

Fool. The coolant tanks are white for a reason... your coolant tank isnt going to be as effective as it should due to the style choice. Looks good tho

[@kanericks8790]

Get your teeth fixed instead of your car?
