Welcome back to Mazda RX-7 LS1 Build: A Boosted Adventure Series! In Episode 3, we tackle one of the most critical aspects of building a high-performance car: keeping it cool. With a turbocharged LS1 under the hood, managing heat is essential for reliability and performance, both on the street and the track. What’s in This Episode:
❄️ Upgrading the Radiator: We install a high-performance aluminum radiator to handle the heat from the LS1 engine.
💨 Custom Fan Setup: Proper airflow is key! Watch as we fit dual electric fans to keep the engine temps in check, even during demanding conditions.
🌡️ Oil Cooling System: Adding an external oil cooler to ensure consistent oil temperatures during spirited driving and drifting.
🔧 Intercooler Install: Boost needs cooling too! We fit a front-mount intercooler to optimize performance for the turbo setup.
🛠️ Hoses and Plumbing: Wrapping up the cooling upgrades with custom hoses and proper routing to prevent leaks and maximize efficiency. Why It Matters:
High power builds like this LS1-swapped RX-7 generate a lot of heat, and cooling upgrades are essential to keep everything running smoothly. This episode is packed with tips and insights for anyone tackling a similar project. 📣 Join the Conversation:
