Lubing The Beast: Custom 1.8L Oil Lines (Rebirth Ep18)

[@Taoukiif]

AdamLZ took 2 days to swap an engine , you took months and didn't even finish

[@alexivanishchuk]

Thunder Shark ya but he also has a good budget and a lot of help...the vvti build is pretty special and is not just a common 1j

[@BecauseMiata]

Thunder Shark LOL...Adam LZ didn't swap anything. He PAID Alberto to do it for him. There's a big difference between doing it yourself and paying someone else to do it for you.

[@LetsPlayShow97]

Adam was swaping the engines, Greg is building one ;)

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

There's one tiny little difference: I'm making this series as a tool for people to actually do it themselves. If I wasn't making videos the car would have been running months ago. But what good would that do the Miata community?

[@cyriously_nick2191]

Adamlz is serving a specific side of the automotive KZbin community, the kind that wants super exciting high cost builds and click bait. Greg is building an engine from bare block, doing it informationally for REAL automotive KZbin enthusiasts. Keep doing what you're doing Greg, you're turning out a sick build even if these 13 year old wannabe drift kids say lz is doing anything better

[@nugenki]

I'm glad these short videos are just as jammed packed with information, tips, and warnings as your longer ones were. These videos are so awesome dude!

[@jeff3864]

Since you are already running all these custom oil lines, why not take this opportunity to add a small oil cooler with a thermostat?

[@jaredfinucane9319]

Best series on youtube. Keep up the good work man

[@cristianosce6]

Can't wait to hear it start!

[@Crankaholic]

Great job Greg, you do great quality work and your video quality is at top quality level now!

[@davidlittle6546]

loving this series

[@gigglesgames1]

No lie you're my favorite car youtuber

[@opgedronken]

A short hard line from the back of the exhaust side cilinder head oil port is my favourite oil feed. Simple and durable, no winding braided oil lines or breaking tee offs of the oem oil pressure sonsor port.

[@nitromt41]

thanks for your input and opinion

[@opgedronken]

Misselikke pin!

[@yossi126]

What I run in my car as well.

[@BrianGabrintino]

How much longer would you say the build is going to take? I'm excited to see the beast up and running again, it feels like it's been forever.

[@NippyMoto]

Haahaha And it's still not 100% running today in April of 2019. I think Greg slightly underestimated the job of building a high power miata. Sometimes it's just like that with cars though.

[@danjennings5068]

Thread sealer is absolutely required with NPT fittings. They will leak without. Also the heat shield material that you put over the oil feed is most likely fiberglass. There aren't many plastics that can handle high heat.

[@brentbennight]

Dan Jennings you're right. The heat shield he put on is fiberglass

[@maxherman4174]

Great info. Looking forward to seeing this project in action

[@Fojiraceworks]

Most 1.8 heads have a feed just below the back of the exhaust cam, easy to use and you don't need a monster long line to reach it. Either way works well!

[@MrShiver55]

You are running the lines like I thought it would be the safest way, although so many people keep hooking up the line in the VVT-magic-mechanism on top or at the back of the head. Now seeing it, the oil line coming from the pressure sensor doesn't even look as long as I thought i would, so I think I'll go for that as well. I know it will be mentioned in your video series later on, but what FPR do you use? :D Do I really need the one with the return line from my NA or can I use the one that came with my VICS manifold? People on miataturbo are rude when it comes to asking questions like this :(

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

I'll be using a 90-93 FPR mounted upside down on a 99-00 rail

[@MrShiver55]

TheCarPassionChannel Thanks for your confirmation, me too 😀 Getting more and more confident in this.

[@joshuacraven982]

@@TheCarPassionChannel Liar! lol

[@bluehorseshoe7171]

Good solid info. I always look forward to these videos.

[@PakmanR3]

man this engine is soo clean.

[@chrisduncan2626]

That red hydraulic hose is the shit for oil drains 🤘

[@CameronHall-wq9tk]

This video title is gonna get me in trouble at work...

[@ZHGAmingAllTheWay]

I have an nb (currently on 6ul 15x9s gen4). I wamt to run a autokonexion 10mm flare (my car is mostly track oriented but i want some good looks too ;)) but i dont know what lightweight wheel options to go w. The te37v is too expensive. Should i stick w what i have and a spacer or go maybe to 6ul 15x10s w a 245 instead of 225? Need halp pls

[@supercarmio]

great work and very nicely edited!

[@MrPurestock63]

I cant wait to hear this thing spool. 🙈

[@nwgt8355]

Sweet looking turbo manifold! What brand is it? Or did you have it made?

[@rd400guy1]

I'm new to this, so don't be too harsh... Doesn't the VVT system work based on oil pressure? If you tap into the VVT feed line for the turbo, won't that drop the pressure on the VVT feed line, i.e. defeat the VVT?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+rd400guy1 Even when tapped for turbo the VVT line should maintain consistent pressure and follow RPM just like without the turbo line. As long as your pressure is always the same at each RPM you should be able to have a consistent VVT tune. But, I've never tuned VVT before so I'll find out!

[@paulius5017]

How much HP do you want this block to push, and how much do you think its gonna push?

[@tubejorrit]

had been discussed in a previous video.

[@MrLAJB]

Hi Greg, can you remember roughly how long your oil feed line was. I can't currently get to my car to measure it but want to order some more parts.

[@mr.adventure559]

Why didn't you ceramic coat your turbo manifold and the hot side to your turbo charger.

[@Str33tfalcon]

Oh! You did paint the block! :D thumbsup!!

[@altafari]

Ive got an oil leak out of my oil pressure VVT intersection. Any tips on what size tiny hardware I need to do a reseal? Thanks.

[@SIRICKO]

Never run a oil feed from the side you don't get accurate reading that way. Run yo oil feed from the port the oil sensor was at and put the sensor on the side hole!!

[@eygfhnqwhag]

Ronald Jenkees is the man!

[@connorpeak7906]

What type of hose are you using for the return? I'm having a hard time finding something to deal with the hot oil.

[@fluxingn]

What are the thread sizes on the adapter? 1/8npt? or metric M?

[@SIRICKO]

And that oil drain fitting I would have beveled that the top edge to promote oil flow.

[@mgamma5001]

Hey G, so the 1.6 oil pressure sensor is a real sensor not just a there's pressure but can't tell you the exact pressure like the NB. If thats the case that should work on the NB VVT right?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

mgamma5001 Do NB's have a fully functional gauge? I've never owned one haha. I just know my 1.6 cluster will understand my 1.6 sensor. I'm running a 2nd oil pressure sensor for MS to actually get numbers, I just don't want a dead oil pressure gauge in my cluster 😁

[@mgamma5001]

Unfortunately the NA - NB starting with the 95 went to a gauge that simply indicates the presence of oil pressure. Up to 94 they actually indicate real pressure, I just wanted to figure out if the 94 gauge and sender would work on the NB. Even if it isn't a great fit having a real pressure gauge is a must for a modified or track machine. Keep up the great work and detail!

[@mgamma5001]

Here is the link for the Moss motors conversion www.mossmotors.com/graphics/products/instructions/904-431.pdf

[@MrShiver55]

What will you hook the second one up to?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Backyard Gearhead To Megasquirt for data logging and safeguards

[@pigeon853]

Why don't you use fuel hose clamp style hose clamps? They are like T-bolt clamps, much easier to use than the worm clamps! More even pressure too, or so I hear

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Cramer Ward-Collings Just didn't think of it really, good idea though 👍

[@sugoi4983]

do you use any sealant on the turbo oil drain fitting or just a gasket

[@MultiAna96]

Thank you so much for the video! Keep it up. I was going to ask just to confirm, is this the same way you can do on a 1.6 1991?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

MultiAna96 The feed is even easier on a 1.6, check out my video "broke & boosted ep12" :)

[@MultiAna96]

TheCarPassionChannel thank you!

[@CharlesDwyer89]

Awesome video dude keep it up

[@Nebbia_affaraccimiei]

2:26 so for example you ecu won't know your oil pressure? I thought it was useful to trigger alarms or protection mode and so on?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

The ECU on Miatas never knows the oil pressure. With my standalone I'm adding a 2nd oil pressure gauge so it will actually know what the pressure is and I can setup safeguards.

[@Nebbia_affaraccimiei]

TheCarPassionChannel yeah of course I was talking about a standalone ;) All good then ^^

[@marcabus1234]

Get some stainless steel zip ties to hold the heat wrap on you can get them at the parts store I use them on everything they are AWESOME

[@brandoGTR48]

That's the best way to do the drain. A regular line and hose clamps

[@jeckoneedlemeyer]

If that's heater hose that you're using, the oil will sweat through it and make a mess. Heater hose is for coolant only.

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Negative - specifically rated for oil. That's why it's annoyingly red, lol. Was the only color I could find with the right rating

[@89ry89]

yoo jenkees is a badass!

[@codllc]

Are you doing an oil cooler with this build?

[@marcovillasenor9415]

What type of torque wrench do you have?

[@nytovaok516]

so wait... the 1.8 doesn't have the high pressure oil point on the block like the 1.6 does?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

nytovaok516 '94 1.8 does but the 95-05 do not. (Early 95's may have had one?)

[@Duke2387]

Still loving the content but just not sure I'm liking how short the vids are now. Just as I'm getting into it and wanting it to carry on it finishes and I'm like owww :( lol.

[@ayyds]

Didn't you buy another car i wanna know what it is

[@jackyoung6262]

I spent about 5mins trying to work out how I had managed to scratch my monitor before realising it was your profile picture...

[@markofernandez7236]

Mustang owners beware.....

[@MrLAJB]

What thread sealer are you using?

[@laurencematthews312]

those aluminium T's with the heavy pressure sender fatigue and fail really quickly. mine failed within a couple of thousand miles at my first trackday. its far too much weight on such a small fitting. Ive t'd off my oil cooler sandwhich plate.

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Laurence Matthews It's actually steel, the one sold by Trackspeed Engineering. I trust anything they run on their cars 🙂

[@jacobkite5497]

Is that jenkees shirt in refrence ronald jenkees ? And if so where did you get it?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Jacob Kite From Ronald Jenkees' site my dude :) I've got all 5 albums signed #fanboi

[@Taytaymx5]

Shoutout Ronald Jenkees!

[@jakebackman1862]

What kind of hose do you use for the oil drain?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Jake Backman 5/8" ID and something oil compatible. Link in the description for all parts used in the video

[@theelichtje3]

After you did the work of painting the valve cover, are you going to paint the vvt system aswell?

[@dagridiron94]

I like this mod I can apply this to my FBODY

[@gedasalekveravicius5466]

Do oil cooler with JDM bumper mount

[@jonathanramirez232]

Why didnt you go for the 2.0?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+Jonathan Ramirez *Esteban* Getting to 2.0 with just boring alone leaves the cylinder walls too thin to safely run big boost; and a stroker kit is just too expensive to be worth it.

[@amazingvideogames3418]

Is this optional or do we have to do this?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

The turbo 100% needs oil

[@amazingvideogames3418]

TheCarPassionChannel wow! I did not know this thanks, I purchased a turbo kit and I’m trying to learn everything I can about them your channel has showed me a lot !

[@ricepony33]

Does anyone make or has anyone put a small oil cooler in line with the turbo drain?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+andre surles I doubt enough oil passes through that line to make a difference

[@TobyBurt]

Would add restriction which is bad in the drain. An oil cooler anywhere prior to the turbo would bring overall temps down but very few people have found it a requirement for street builds and usually it's just because you can. Bearing in mind that you want your engine working properly and not taking forever to come up to temp.

[@sunburstyellowmiata9729]

We need more vids

[@willtato8778]

So it *is* an efr turbo...

[@tubejorrit]

we knew that for some weeks now?

Yea 3rd boi

[@22letis22]

Dont want to be a dick or anything but don't you think it isn't optimal that the hole you drilled is not smooth?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

+22letis22 I'm not worried about it

hey Greg I'm a really nice person you can use my miata to test fit it and then give it back because I'm such a nice person you're welcome
