Turbo is officially on the Miata! Now it’s time we make sure that all the air being sucked in by our turbo gets cooled down as much as possible. For this our CX Racing turbo kit comes with a brand new intercooler, so we have to talk how exactly an intercooler system works, what you need to know when picking one, and by the end we’ll have nice cool air getting pumped into our engine.
We have a new channel!

Compression surge is not bad for your turbo......
"wheres that 10mm?" is a question only you have ever found the answer to
oh man sacrificing your ac on a daily? that's a big one.
Can I request guys next project car is Toyota tamaraw fx🙏
Zach be like: I had to remove the power steering pump and water pump as well as cylinder 3 as they were getting in the way of the intercooler and piping
Great choice to have that little chunk at the end with music and footage getting it together. These are great videos but must be exhausting to make breaking everything down step by step. More noticeable in these turbo videos and getting to watch it with less explanation was a relief towards the end. Makes me wanna take an auto class to grasp everything
Oof, I could tell Jobe was really hurting when he had to pull the AC out!
"ThEy DeLeTeD the AC!!" Well when you have a car to turbo and $$$ you can not delete the AC. Donut is a BUSINESS, they have to make a decision on whether spending money on ANOTHER kit or more piping will be worth showing for PROFIT. Provide solutions, dont just complain... these videos are free, unlike all this car work.
Maybe James will Turbo the AE86? It seems that's the car to compromise AC/Boost on as Its James actual daily?
Please don't tell people not running a BOV destroys turbochargers PLEASE, thank you
I think they should do a show that shows how most major modifications take way more time and effort than most car shows make them seem like. Like for example as some one who lives in Minnesota they should demonstrate dealing with massive amounts of rust or seized bolts. Your one broken bolt away from turning a 2 hour job into a 10 hour + job.
Why do they call it a Rad? Because the air is so cool
personally would have taken a piece of hose and slit it down the middle to use as a grommet on that hole that you had to cut. Since the tubing is connected to the engine and the engine will flex at least some, the hose going through there will rub-a-dub
Ah man, where did the Watanabe's go from the 86?!
how did you drain your A/C system?
I think Zack's next moneypit should seriously be something to replace those airbags or something to keep him safe, also maybe a episode making DIY brackets so you can have AC?
Removes AC. Everyone in Texas... wait, what???
This series is what the internet needed
What are some good turbo brands?
do i have to get an intercooler if i want to turbo my own car or can i get by without it?
I love the yellow ad bar at the bottom, you guys are fucking geniuses.
MOPOWABABYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Video! Just bought the APR Intercooler for my Stage 2 APR tuned MK7 Golf R, gonna be installing it within the next week and it had great reviews everywhere I looked
I would never drop AC in southern Cali. You’re nuts
I wander why California didnt ban gas cars when ur were in the future
Imagine how much power cars will make if the air was 70% oxygen instead of 70% nitrogen.
I thought blow off valves werent 100% a necessity, you can get away without one! Good looks though Zach
The gorgeous sing intialy unpack because chess clasically search throughout a innate digger. terrible, shocking grey
Who’s watching in 2021? 😂
Noooooo don’t remove ac
Strike that ac in Florida, dare you. Slow and cool all day. Boost Cool > Boost Creep
May I suggest a grommet for the sharp edges of your...penetration. 💪😎👍
Getting excited to hear what this puppy sounds like
Are they going to strengthen the chassis? What will happen if chassis not calculated for much horse power?
removed ac without removing refrigerant omg absolutely shocking
First time I've heard something flat out wrong on this channel, lol You don't *need* a BOV for road cars. Turbo flutter, when it occurs in a closed throttle condition, will not shorten the life of a turbo
I love the yellow ad bar at the bottom, you guys are fucking geniuses.
Just move the receiver dryer my dude
When you build a wide body that you didn’t ask for
Thank u Zach for sacrificing ur personal comfort to appease a bunch of sweaty greasy boost creeps
Fugg that Cyperpunk burn was brutal.
I learned nothing on the BOV vacuum thing be more specific
I didn't see you having your a/c degassed in an environmentally responsible fashion....🤔 I'll just assume you didn't vent ozone in to your workshop 👌
14:50 music??
i love wednesdays
Well we got sick of waiting and did our own conversion It caught fire 🔥 check out the video irworld.info/show/fy-lm-h-y/f5t0iLpmlsaZvNQ.html
no AC in southern cali? brutal. couldnt't just relocate the reservoir?
I love how I relate to zack, he don’t cut his hair till it’s long long
@Donut Media make sure Zach fits up a grommet on the hole he cut, so he doesn’t cut the charge piping over time as that bare metal wears into it
No way I'd give up AC for some boost... //box it up; send it back.
You get what you pay for.......
At 00:55 I was about to comment that the building behind them was on fire!, but, Got ME!
you don't need an intercooler if you use liquid meth injection
lol, the background in the ad
Probably one of my favorite people on this channel
That hole is gunna cut through ur silcone... make it bigger
Remove AC, yeah that's a fat no. I would just fab a new bracket.
Jesus super informational but damn he is dragging these episodes
Ok dude, I know this video says its only 5 days ago but I know you worked on the car already, hurry up and upload, I wanna hear the "stututu" already.
Waitasec................ going with just 'the biggest' isn't always the best idea?! :) You mean that putting thought into your setup and getting an intercooler and piping that match and flow well with the output of your turbo is a smart thing to do?! :) *mind explodes*
This show is too damn cool. I swear to God
STS is kind of cool because you need an intercooler. And it’s a sleeper. Lag is a bit much, but a high displacement motor with a good exhaust, there you go. The air will cool on its way back to the intake.
The splendid sun lovely scold because flavor osmotically accept past a public teeth. homeless, narrow kendo
Anyone else misses the cools shots of the palm trees and skateboard on Zac's street?
That's not an intercooler...that's a harp.
Omg that 2077 cyberpunk reference had me. The entire world knows the game is shite.
Cool
irworld.info/show/fy-lm-h-y/iH-Sm46qqtSnpsw.html
no ac in California? HELLLL NAAAH
is this (1:56) the 10mm socket i m locking for??????
I would never trade AC for more power on a miata 😐
That silicone connector you put in the hole you drilled, should be protected from sharp edges, put some door trim or anything that fits in the metal to avoid a cut on the pipe, vibration and contact with metal will end up cutting it
Great content! This new garage needs some background decoration
Why take out ac instead of just fabricating new brackets?
Zach i had no idea you worked for ECS tuning, thats sick, can you help me tune my mk5 gti?
ok.. the next video on this playlist is private... not sure if its accidental... just FYI
id take some fuel line and cut it in half and put it around that hole you cut so it doesnt rub a hole in that intercooler boot
Only reason I’m watching this is to turbo my 5.3L 2002 Tahoe
this series is going to be historic guys. hello 2025 viewers
Why did I think people only had blow off valves cause they made cool noises
Fancy noises are still farting noise.
Make a video about Marussia B2 please
You are an excellent video personality ,,, meaning listening to you I can do a lot . Question,,,,,,,,,, where the sillycone hose goes through the hole you cut in the fender wall ,,, possibly ya may want to put a rubber barrier around the hole circumference to save chaffing the hose,,, just a thought ,, really interesting info you put out .
He meant cyberpunk 2077....😂
This was the best of this series so far. I enjoyed watching Zach do custom work and getting this turbo kit installed. (:
This comment will probably get ignored but hey guys I have an Nissan S14 and just started making youtube videos about my build. Any love and support would be much appreciated
I wonder how many cars and what the total bill is that donut/zach is indirectly responsible for, i mean I feel like i can install a turbo now.... If i felt like leaving my car in the garage for the next 2months
As a noob to these kinds of mechanics my head went to a liquid cooling inter cooler so im glad it was mentioned as I'd imagine this is the set up youd really want to go for, even if it means relocating something like your battery and airfilter intake system all together, may be fiddly but if you're planning on owning and flexing your car for a while, id skip straight to this setup even if it means a slightly longer install process, do it once and do it right babeh
I would just leave the ac in and build yourself some different bottom brackets
So would adding an intercooler to an NA engine make any difference in power? Or, would it make any difference if you've already installed bigger injectors or if you've built the engine up in the valvetrain?
how many different versions of "let's get cooler" did you record?
Watches video while trying to but a 14g turbo on my Elantra
If the engine can handle a turbo on stock internals i.e honda, Miata, etc anything newer better off just buying a car already boosted
How to tell your parents you are gay? Turbo your car.
2077 = cyberpunk 2077
we dont need airbag bcause of these roll cage..lol
Does the removal of the AC effect the vehicles overall performance?
Dude you should've just LS swapped it ¿!
Anyone here a 15-20 year old trynna get to learn car stuff ? Cause I am 😂
bro the 2077 comment in the ad lmfao
wait does he rlly expect 260 hp?
That silicone conector is going to rub on that cut you made.
