- Are fuel injectors all the same, just rebranded? Should you remove your thermostat to help with cooling? Does your MPG drop when running a built engine?

Thanks for hearing us brother! You are the man! I think a tuner can usually beat MPG's of a stock ecu since the stock ecu is optimized for a new engine. Honda's run for 400k miles, things change lol
Thank you for watching! You guys keep us going!
You also hit the nail on the head about a tuner vs. stock computer. I didn't wanna open up a can of worms though by going there.
@@RCautoworks Yeah I get it. Those interested can read about the deep dives in the comments lol
@joemaggio6806 you are correct
Thermostat Can be rmoved if one lives in cali =) Good video like Always
RCautoworks. Do A video about tech, moving into ecu's Soon we may not even have tuners cause shit is getting so smart.
We'll see... we have hope that enthusiasts will keep the sport and passion alive for modifying.. we can't let it die out!
Also would love to expand on the thermostat stuff. My buddy's tuner told him not to run a 158* race thermostat. We both have a honda v6 with the single port exit like the k20c1 and cast in Headers make the cylinder head hot, so keeping the coolant cooler should have its benefits, no? And although the thermostat opens early, that v6 has 0 issues coming up to temp and wanting to get to the 185 degree temp the fans turn on while stationary.
I have injectors from alpha injectors. My tuner asked and as soon as i told him he shook his head. He still tuned the car and everything went smoothly. I still feel like im getting yelled at through the video lol
Hahahaha 😆, no yelling just very passionate about this industry and hate when people get taken advantage of.
Here's another interesting question related to thermostats - how do you diagnose poor coolant flow vs insufficient cooling system capacity. I've run into this recently. In theory, you dont want coolant to flow too quickly, or it won't have time to absorb heat from the engine. On the flipside, if it sits for too long in one place you can have localized flash boiling in the block
What type or setup or issue did you have exactly?
@@RCautoworks mid-engine mounted kseries with the radiator up front. stock water pump
@devensautox4698 most swaps like this from what we see, have one or two coolant lines ran incorrectly so the coolant doesn't flow like it should.
Thanks!!!
Thanks for constantly tuning in king ❤️
Good fucking inf love the real youtuber the dont fake on you with some inf also Im doing a Da lsv turbo and I keep my mishimoto thermostat using oil cooler and vp coolant additives for low temp
Thank you for the comment. No fakeness here, I won't sell anything I wouldn't trust on my own vehicle
Keep in mind the fan shroud and fan are key pieces. We recommend spal fans.
Great video, what are your thoughts on block guards? The ones you insert into the open deck. Have you seen positive or negative results?
Keep an eye out in the next couple episodes and I'll be covering this.
I been use a 68c thermostat so no need delete it
What's your setup? Would love to see what you're working with!
@@RCautoworks nctl thermostat using tcl advance coolant with making 400hp☺️ engine 4g93t hybrid to mivec head and a td05 20G turbo😊basic simple
Loving the videos Bob! One question I have for ya that I haven't found much of answer to online is how well the OEM honda canister style fuel filter holds up to E85? I'm considering just keeping mine for simplicity sake so long as it'll hold up okay. I would be replacing it once a year though. Thanks man!
Thanks for always tuning in, are we speaking like the firewall style or the 8th gen canister type?
@@RCautoworks The OBD1 or 2 firewall canister style
I had one break apart from not changing it for maybe 5-6 years. So I just change them yearly now.
@Boostwerks we haven't seen issues with those. Seeing how cheap those type of filters are we would just recommend changing them sooner then later and keep in that habit more so.
I think one question that hasn’t asked is can you run a lower thermostat on a car that is daily driven?
Sure you can but the better question more so would be why.
What are the biggest benefits going to E85! And give everyone a Hello!
Awesome topic... we will include this in an episode coming up, stay tuned! Appreciate the suggestion!
@@RCautoworkswould be solid to expand on this in a podcasts or something. Also touching up on meth injection and it's power potential to E85. Some newer OEM style systems fuel system cand do e85 so meth injection comes in very handy. I use it because I have no E85 station near me and I need the octane to keep everything happy and knock free.
Also, how would you go about tuning 93+meth? Similar timing style as e85? Also what's more beneficial, spraying 50/50 water meth or pure m1 methanol. My tuner says water doesn't belong in an engine so he prefers pure m1 methanol injection lol. Sorry for the crazy questions, but maybe something to talk about in a podcasts or something
Can you talk abour boost creep, and is boost PSI has the same power results wether is off just spring pressure or caused by boost creep ex: 12 psi spring vs 7 psi spring with 5 psi creep
Sure
Have you run into a car with huntertuned injectors? If so how would you rate them
What is your opinion of Deatchwerks
Good question, I'm not stating there a bad injector, they're definitely not at the level of injector dynamics or fuel injector clinic. We've seen a fair amount of issues with DW injectors and fuel pumps.
@@RCautoworks sheesh. I just bought some dw2200 and 400 fuel pump. 😢
@Hello_its_me_mario what's your setup consist off? Internally? Cams?
Great info. Very educational. Keep it coming bro
@@bling00700 Thank you! Appreciate the kind words!
