These are the ones I had but in use track they are not enough, they are even less effective than the original ones. I keep the Mishimoto support and installed 2x SPAL VA10-AP50/C-61A - 1221 cfm - SPAL Electric Radiator Fan - 12.0" (305mm) PULL , just another world.
LOVE MISHIMOTO ♥️♥️♥️
Redrum.x a girl and her cars he is one good looking fella 👌😄
Is this supposed to be better than the OEM fans?
O!Technology performance wise the cfm is a bit lower, as I red and heard. But compared to my stock fan it should perform better
I put the mishimoto rad and fan shroud. Im getting 10-15° higher numbers.
@@danielbystrika5611 please elaborate, why do you think the temps are higher ?
@@1cipi these fans produce a lot less CFM than the original fans.
Good job Men! Tancks
ЮТУБ ХАТА thanks man, glad you liked it :)
Just installed this kit today! First time taking apart the RX8 as well, installed the fan controllers, along with Ram air intake. What a fun couple hours!
Awesome! I'm very happy to hear that man :D Keep it up!
Was having water overheating issues before the fans, but im still getting that issue? any clue what it could be? I have a new radiator as well
Hope you could repair your radiator as soon as possible and see how it works and improve its performance.
Erick Moyano Cerpa ill do my best to fix it as soon as possible. At Least then ill have a reliable radiator that works like it should and I can rely on when drifting 😊
You should invest in a eBay intercooler
I got a gpi racing one works as good as the Koyo rad my brother spent triple on i only payed $130ish
Good to see how passionate you are for your RX8 , I have only just started getting feelings for mine, being my 10th Rotary powered car, took me a while to accept it as I swore from the moment I did a predelivery on the first one in the state to put in the showroom ( ex Mazda technician ) because of how fragile they looked. Now being extremely cheap third, fourth hand, I managed to pick one up for AUS5800 second hand full genuine mazda service history ( I have actually serviced it before for the original owner ). I thought I'd take a chance. None of my mazda enthusiast friends had even considered one after thing's I had told them like having to take the front wheels of to change a headlight bulb. Kinda makes me a hypocrite but thanks to watch some of your vids has enlightent me. Thanks bro.
That's so great to hear man! I'm really glad you're liking your journey into the rx8 world, and also that i'm of use in it :D Keep it up, and enjoy it as much as possible, for that price, it was a bargain!
Did you make a video switching out the transmission sensor ??? 0:12 how you showed in intro ?
My upper bushing for radiator broke that you hang the radiator on during install, so I took the one that's on the air pump, exact same piece to replace. Good to read comments.
Amazing save man!
That was a very helpful video! Quick, detailed! Really appreciate the time to put it together and help us out. 🎉
Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
My radiator is further back what the hell
Only thing needed now is the Koyo V2695 radiator so you can do everything again. But I don't really think you're gonna need it
UzY3L badass koyo radiator coming up 😉👌🍾
This is give me Chris fix vibes
Yet another great video 📹, but is the lifetime guarantee still valids after cutting the wires? Thanks!
I can't see why not, since its not a direct fit. You either have to modify the OEM connectors or the Mishimoto connectors. So it shouldn't have a role :)
Finally! 😏😂
Paolo Miguel Gomez you've said it 😂😄👌🍾🎩
Hold up, power steering??
DannyBoy 22534 my bad, I wanted to say electric steering. I Misslabeled it.
It's been over 3 years since you installed the fan shroud. Can you tell me if it worked properly, did you have any problems cooling your radiator?
I have a Series 2 RX8 and it hard to get parts. I wanted to get a better fan shroud after watching your video but no one makes it? I even called Mishimoto and they told me they do not make a fan shroud for the Series 2 RX8's??? But I found a company that has a universal fan shroud. Because I'm lazy I asked shops around my area but they all say the same thing, " we will not do it"?!
So it looks like I will have to do it myself. Hope to hear from you...
So, my radiator was leaking so I had to replace it, I did but when I let my car idle for few mins it will go to 105°C and thats not good, I think I got air in my system and guess there is nothing wrong with adding more water to mix, since we dont see temps go under -20°C. What I want to do is to short Fan Ralay 1 with Fan Relay 2, so once that slow fan turns on high power fan will switch on aswell, it should work as dirty cheap mod. So my question is: At what temps fan 1 goes on and if Im right other fan goes on at 100-103°C and thats also too high. I tried to google it but nothing came on, I would love to hear something like 80°C, that would make my car so much cooler just with one short cabel. Thanks for answer.
10mm socket? i dont know what this is :P hehe nice video 10min+
adnhndc some say its just a myth, and doesn't exist in reality. Not many people have seen it 😜 thanks, it was a solid long job, but it got done properly 👌
Nice guide man... very detailed. you should add a couple of small holes in the shroud and add some push clip cable tied to tidy up the power steering wires etc.
Another thing you can do (for the folks who delete their A/C) is solder the two sets of wires from the fans together with a H4 female connector plug (blue & black wires), reconnect it to the H1 H3 male cooling plug, and just tuck away the A/C H4 female connector plug. But not everyone is the same; this is what I'm in the process of doing with my RX8 build.
@drivenbymadness how do you know, lol?
At 7:13 you'll get your answer if you look carefully 😜
what perks do i get from buying these fans then just ordering a regular oem one. Original fans run me about 70$ new these are about 200
so with this fan, and the thermostat was your cooling too good?? is that a thing with Rx8's??
What is the purpose of this mod and how does it improve over stock?
Awesome!! You're expert of RX-8! 😀😀
Can the fan shroud be taken out from the top ?
really good guide
SopelXL thanks man!
Installed my kit cause my old fans stopped working, and my new mishimoto ones still won’t come on. Not sure what exactly is happening
Could be a blown fuse. Open the fuse box, find the right one and see if it's still good.
@@Drivenbymadness ok, i replaced all the relays I’ll check the fuses
@@Drivenbymadness I checked and replaced all fuses and relays and everything but they still don’t come on
@ryanscott5338 did you find the fix?, I'll got the same problem
@@zaqxswcdevfrbgtnhymjukilop4876 Did you ever find out what the problem was?
Which aluminum radiator did you go with? Have u considered the dual pass mishimoto radiator?
crimsonskye koyorad 53mm core
Good install video as always! When I did my radiator change I used some shoelaces to hold up the condenser so it wasn't just hanging there lol
Hahah you can never be too careful with that!
Is that high speed fan x2?
What about installing a thermostat with 76Celsius opening temp ?
Already made that video :) ua-cam.com/video/TrNG5z0vUcw/v-deo.html&t
And you still have overheating issues ? :o ?
Is better Mishimoto than Koyo? I want change my radiator, but I'm not sure what is better
Rotary_desu koyo is better quality
Ok, thanks about the information. But, the difference between Mishimoto and Koyo is big? Koyo is difficult to find on Europe. Then if Mishimoto is better than stock, finally will choice Mishimoto
Did you not have the two lines disconnected that were right by the big radiator hose?
Weird since some claim to have them, mine did not, like in the video.
@@1cipi they are transmission fluid cooler lines. I just disconnected them. Lost minimal fluid
Will this fit to series 2 rx8 AT?
I'm not sure, best is to contact mishimoto: www.mishimoto.eu/contact/
what is your accent?
Slovenian :)
Where does the battery air duct sit on the mishimoto fans?
If i remember correctly it stays connected only on one side, and the part near the fans does not connect it anymore
Both clips on the duct clip onto the oem fans, is there somewhere else it clips into?
At 8:57 what are those wires you are soldering
The mishimoto fan wires to the original connector wires. The connector on the left fan had to be cut out, because it could not be removed from the old fan. So i soldered the mishimoto directly to the OEM car wires of that fan. Hope it was clear :)
Thanks for the reply!
You're welcome :)
How do we change the connector for the right side?
That's so much work :0
Also, I don't like Essex Rotary anymore, he's actively ignoring me lol
It's a good whole day of work, but if you're enjoying it like me, it's time well spent :D Yeah, lately i also wait a couple of days to get an answer.... Don't know what to tell you, maybe they have too much work to get to every one. I also have tons of DM's and comments to reply, but i usually take maximum 3 days.
That's true, looks like it's worth it but my car is staying cool at the moment anyway ;)
Haha it's been weeks. Tried via mail and facebook. Guess he doesn't like my question.
mrawesomelemons what did tou ask 😂
I want my ECU flashed but it's really expensive here. His service is less than half the price that I'd pay here. But it's really expensive for me to drive there. have it flashed and drive back. So I asked him if I could send in my ECU, he would flash it and then send it back. He hasn't replied haha
ahaaa, i think he will offer this in the future, but not atm. At least i think this is what i remember when he told me when i asked. I think he is on vacation, so hopefully he'll come back soon. I can't be this long with out a radiator :/
Done every thing like u, fans won’t come on !! Help!!
where are you stuck ?
Driven By Madness my car runs and runs for 20 mins or so and the fans won’t come on! Radiator starts to steam, then I turn car off. Maybe relay or fuse?!.. I heard u can blow relay wen u cut into factory wires..😕
Driven By Madness did u blow a fuse or relay when you cut into the wires?! I have 40th anniversary edition. The fan I installed has same colored Wires as mishimoto, I did get some coolant into plug adapter,.
@@joshhacker3926 did you disconnect the battery before cutting the wires?
@@joshhacker3926 Have you connected the wires correctly ?
Amazing how many parts, plastic pieces and wiring harnesses that have to be disconnected or removed..... this is a lot of work!!
askannav2094 it was a lot of work, but worth it as always in the end 😄
Dude your car will never run fast with that long ass intake sucking air from all the way in the front. The RX8 wasn't designed to suck air from that far up front.
My RX8 is a jet. OOhh.
But the Police took it for now. SMH.
.........But if you look at the stock air box it is piped to pull air from in the bumper. Same as the aftermarket CAI.
Insert all of my question marks.
If you have it sucking in air from inside the engine bay then you've got yourself a hot air intake which is stupid.
@@yeahnah6468 it's different tho. The stock air system pulls air thru a tube on the bumper, then drags it to the filter inside the engine bay. The CAI is on the bumper sucking air all the way from down there. It seems like a good idea, but in reality it takes more suction to pull air from all the way in from of the bumper, then from inside the engine bay.
Plus, I don't have a ram intake. Yes it is stupid to pull in hot air.
I have or had a air kit. A ram kit inside of a box inside of the engine bay, it looks just like the stock box, but then I added a tube that they desined to pull air from the underside of the bumper. I forget the name. But it sucks air directly from where the cooling air comes in from. My car was so fast.
Did anyone else have a problem with their fans not working
I bled the cooling system and checked my soldering and they're still not working
@@thiccboi6932 Did you wait for the car to reach a high enough temperature to engage them?
@@Drivenbymadness yes I drove to get the temp up and the rx8 started to over heat and I didn't hear the fans
@@thiccboi6932 is the fuse good ? Are the wires soldered correctly and securely?
@@Drivenbymadness I checked the relays and they are good I didn't check the fuse, but when I soldered it the first time I saw some corrosion on The wire and soldered it anyway and then the car overheated so I cut the wires I already soldered and resoldered them and also cleaned the wires and it worked fine for a while and then today it didn't work again
