Making my CHEAP Terminator Cobra COOLER!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- I bought a 2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 10th Anniversary aka Terminator Cobra. It was the cheapest one in North America that was running, has a clean title, needs nearly nothing, and can be driven and enjoyed as is. In this video, I'm modifying it with some essential parts, like an AFCO Heat Exchanger, NGK TR6 Spark Plugs, Summit Racing Slotted & Drilled Rotors, J&L Air Oil Separators / Catch Cans, LED Bulbs, Headlight Switch, and a Vent. Thanks to Summit Racing, Borla Exhaust, Maximum Motorsports, and Steeda for supporting this build series.

Ben needs to have his own channel he is amazing his attitude is amazing
I’m trying to convince him all the time
@@itsreallyjakub You can tell him that you’re just installing time-lapse cameras for you own videos. Yeah. That’s it.
Every man needs a mechanic like yours 🫡
It's the small things that always make a difference when redoing a car like this. Love what you're doing with this car.
I can’t help myself
Pads are cheap man. You want new pads to bed in with the new rotors. I don't get that.
I always do new pads with rotors but didn’t feel it was necessary this time since they were nearly new
They were oem ford pads with 80/90% pad left on them. We made a judgement call on the pads and sent em
Love you guys and think Ben's an awesome mechanic, but come on, disappointed to see used pads on brand new rotors. Should of also cleaned up behind the rotors with a little spray paint. #NotCool #AttentionToDetailMatters 😤🔧
I love how professionally thorough Ben is, incredible workmanship!
A good mechanic like Ben is hard to find these days. I used to have one until he retired to the cabin in Northern Minnesota. It's nice to see that you are going all in on your Cobra.
Loving your channel Jakub, looking forward to every episode. A buddy of mine had a red 10th anniversary Cobra back in the day. Helped him do all his mods, Whipple, shafts, exchanger, shifter, and... Headers. I REALLY want to watch a video of you doing headers... Without a lift. 😁
Headers with a lift seems like a nightmare. Can’t imagine on jack stands
@@itsreallyjakub it's been 18 years, I still wake up some nights screaming.
Love that you get the accurate wealth of knowledge from Ben!
WE LOVE BENNNN!!
Awesome video!
Jaaakub ! This car is gonna be sooooo sick!
Thanks! Can’t wait for the next update
Had an 01 Cobra and had a spark plug pop due to the 4 thread issue. Fun stuff. Car was never the same after.
Damn!!
Would've been cool if you did some timed stuff like a slalom and drag race to see some before and after. Also Ben is a cool honest mechanic.
I would have died in the first video attempting to do anything on the original tires. So then I’d have to modify it to not die and it wouldn’t be a true before after
nobody can hold a flashlight like jacob
You get yelled at by your dad about your flashlight holding when you’re 5 you become an expert
Another great video. I'm enjoying the progress on the Cobra. Great job, buddy.
Thanks!
Coming together nicely!
Next update will be a big one
Was not expecting a "Here in my Garage" Tai Lopez reference but I laughed so hard - Love the way you document this build Jakub!
Very nice of Summit Racing to hook you up with parts.🎉
Sure is! Love Summit Racing
If you buy VLEDS LED lighting you will not be disappointed. They are not cheap but the build quality is phenomenal. VLEDS V6 Extremes for the tail lights are amazing. The lights are super bright and the contrast when braking or turn signalling is like no other aftermarket LEDs.
Thanks for sharing!
All 99-04 Cobras came with C heads. 96-98 Cobras came with B heads. The Aviators, Marauders and Mach 1's also used C heads and are directly compatible with the Cobra engine. I believe 05 and up engines in the Aviators all have 9 thread spark plug holes.
ahh i didnt know that! thanks for clearing that up
04 model year started the 9 thread heads. “DC” head casting iirc. The triton issue is a completely different issue due to design of the extended spark plug.
@@Mltemple8333 9 thread started in late 03. My 03 10A was built in July and has 9 thread DA heads
@@svt.performance ah. Forgot about that possibility.
Enjoying the content on the black Terminator!
The 3v had a whole different spark plug issue. The 4 thread problem plagued the 2v and 4v heads of certain years.
I’m gonna go to Dixie bloor and just camp out until jakub comes by. Shouldn’t take much waiting 😂
At least get Ben to change your oil while you wait for me
the explosion 😂
Just here in my garage with my new Corbraghini
good work, i live somewhat close to that shop
Use penetrating oil and a curved jaw pair of channel locks on the edge of the crossover cap. Do it when it is a tiny bit warm helps.
Great video, love the content on this channel.
Get Ben a vacuum fill tool for the coolant. Trust me his will thank you for that
He has one but hasn’t used it yet so he didn’t want me to be the Guinea pig
for led lights i recommend lasfit led lights they are bright as hell don’t cheap out on led they won’t las long
VLEDS are by far the best. They are not cheap but the build quality is amazing and for the tail lights when braking or signalling the contrast is like no other. Many LED tail lights don’t show enough difference when you brake or signal.
Great series!
Enjoying your content.
It would have been nice to see the old and new parts side by side. Especially the heat exchanger. The new one looks twice as thick as the old one.
Yeah it’s twice as thick and a bit taller as well
lmaoo "You know what I like more than Materialistic things? Knowledge" Starts flexing bookshelves .I forgot about that video going deep into the archives for that reference. Cobra coming together quick can't wait to see the new wheels.
Classic
It’s a stencil that we’ve used for the heat exchanger. You can find them online then just spray paint the stencil. Most use SVT
I’ve seen ones that are sold pre painted
And I'm sure you learned you cannot bleed coolant at the tank. It's all gotta be done at the crossover plug. Do not add coolant to tank, it'll just keep creating air pockets in the system. The 4v is a different animal.
Correct
@@itsreallyjakubmany many years ago, back in 2011 when I got my first terminator, I made the mistake of adding a splash of coolant at the tank. Car instantly overheated when I left home, total pain in the ass figuring out why lol
Would love a list of parts in description, or a video listing all the cool parts and changes you make! Buying a cobra soon going to need to do some of my own upgrading, I been looking at builds all over, comparing, and I like yours too!
I’ll update the descriptions in each video. Give me a few days
The triton 5.4 3v in 04 had the thread issues with the spark plugs breaking off in the combustion chamber. They corrected it in 05 to keep from raising a stink and issuing a recall. Guess who owned one with the defective heads 🥴
You must have that IRS bushing kit in there i suppose. You should do the head cooling mod on both heads in the future too. Its finny how i know so much about these cars but never owned one(maybe 1 day) but i been around mustangs almost of my life and i owned 5 and possibly counting. That cap for piouring and bleeing the coolant system is the same on all cobra starting from 96,my cobras had the same issue and it was a pita to get it to take off but i got it dont,messed up one of my ratches,lol. Always use anti-seize on that piece. Cant wait for the next video,the first mod i had ever do when i got a new mustang was a short shifter,i cant stand the stock ones. Ive used 5.0,steeda triax and upr blue thunder. MGW makes a good one too that i hear is best for terminators with tons of adjustability.
Make triple sure that is the correct torque spec in 2024. In the 2v engines they shot the spark plugs out because the torque spec was too low from the factory. They revised the torque spec 3 or so times since production.
I was surprised you didn't need hose clamps on the air/oil separators.
Same. Not enough pressure I guess
I highly recommend replacing the coolant crossover tube plug with one that you can use a socket to remove. Absolute made it easier to fill coolant since the upgrade
Yeah I should have done that. I didn’t realize there were aftermarket solutions to this until after we did it. Another problem for future Jakub.
Billet Pro Shop has one that’s stainless. I have one in my car as cheap insurance….plus it looks great.
Mustang lifestyle does all kinds of Mustang conversions
SVT Focus next!!!
I tried to buy one of those like 15 years ago. I just like my V8’s now. I already had a modded Fiesta ST
The focus SVT is better than the Fiesta trust me! Try to find a supercharged one.
Dude, channel is awesome! Very cool Cobra build you have going! Ben seems like a wealth of knowledge; very thorough technician!
Thanks, I love modding cars. Especially with cool people like Ben
Open a few garage doors and get a couple of oscillating fans 😅
We've had the disgusting humidity lately too. I'm less than 2 hours from Toronto. Worst time of year for me, I absolutely hate it.
The worst
Add a lower crank pully (while you're in there add a billet oil pump) to increase boost and you won't need an idler pully
Good presenter cool projects I like your channel.
Thank you very much!
this deff going to be First On Race Day
Very nice!
The viewers demand more piss booth footage sometime soon
Imagine piss on concrete. Amplify by 100
I’m new to the channel and i love it and îts from Toronto perfect for me🤩
Welcome!
The IC coolant runs significantly colder than the engine coolant. Running 180 degree plus coolant through the intercooler would heat up the air charge. Always trying to get charge air well under 150 degrees.
Yeah I figured keeping them separate was better
Those heads are c heads theyre stamped db for being 9 thread version of the c head
Hell yeah
“I’m sure there’s so much piss in here” 😂
Right? That’s where I’d go if I had to go
I am shocked that both catch cans don’t vent to atmosphere. I had that Casio watch when I was kid in the 80’s.
Catch cans in general do nothing for these cars. As long as the pcv is in place you’ll have oil on the intake pipe and intercooler.
That’s exactly why you should run an oil separator ! I ran JLT’s on my 97 Cobra, 02 Lightning, 16 F150 Coyote, and 19 Mustang GT and they ALWAYS pulled the oil from the PCV system and kept it from being fed back into the engine through the intake. Keep your valves, plugs, and combustion WAY cleaner and much less chance of detonation. I add them to my cars the day I purchase the car…
@@skipgumphrey9579 All those you listed aren’t 03/04 cobras. You will have oil in the intake, and intercooler with catch cans and the pcv still in tact.
Yup, boosted cars should all be vented to atmosphere.
good show!
Love the Casio shout out! That gold Casio is probably my least favorite of the ones I've seen on you so far. But that's okay, everybody is different.
Fair enough!
Seems funny that you’re getting rid of the special edition wheels for your Cobra. Then again, I COULD be biased because I bought a set of them almost 20 years ago for one of my Foxbody Mustangs and I still have them lol 😝
Haha I’ll be keeping mine in my shed with all my stock parts for who knows how long
Ben is so sexy.
And his car is still slow as hell.
The catch can wont get capture any oil on the passenger side. Really need one on the drivers side. Mine was about 1/2 full after 2,500 miles. It will fit fine with the snub idler, but get a 90MM just in case. I have a snub idler on mine with that same catch can
Already have a 100mm so we’ll see!
@@itsreallyjakub I think my last one had a 100MM and that same catch can as well so I'm sure its fine
Imagine Terminator's Mustang being chased by Robocop's Charger Hellcat Police Interceptor on the Highway. What a car chase that would be 😄😄😄.
I’d buy that for a dollar.
@@Mechadondada 😆😆😆
Can you fly Bobby?

It’s not Canadian cars it’s back east cars, Iam from BC and cars don’t rust like that here
Jakub talking to Ford over a potential buy.....raptor r perhaps👀👀
No not a car. Something cooler for the Ford fans watching
@@itsreallyjakub as a fan of Ford and of the channel, cant wait👍💪
When you gunna dyno and add MOE POWER!!!! Pulleys and what not?
Patience young grasshopper. It’s coming
Those headlights need a good buff
The whole car is getting one
@itsreallyjakub hell yeah brother!
It would help with heat if you opened your garage door
Again rewatching and I say it again please please please please Ben start your own UA-cam
He’s too busy. I tried telling him
Used pads on new rotors 😮
Next time you are doing paint work and have to paint over rust use a paint that is meant for it like Rust Reformer. Should at a minimum slow down the rust or neutralize it.
Yeah there was no time so I just used a paint and primer in one
@@itsreallyjakub we have all been there 😆 this was my dream car when I was like 12 so following intensely.
But couldn’t figure out how to do this ….
Short shifter should look good
It has one already I just don’t like it
03-04 Cobra's had C heads
Hey Jacob,do you know Ryan in Mississauga with the red supra? Fastest supra in Canada?
I think I met him once?
@itsreallyjakub Nice,I worked with him for 7 years and he took me for a ride in it and it was crazy lol.Cheers👍
Wrong coolant.. No dexcool in a ford. That stuff will turn to sludge when it's mixed with the green stuff.
This car never had the green stuff in it
Gap .24 ? That way too small .32 is perfect . Your going to be stalling guaranteed 😊
No stalling. No breaking up. Idles and drives perfect
Yea had mine at .28 and was getting small miss firing on idle . Dasilva recommend.32 also the tuner did too . They said unless you running high boost like 18+ it would be ok to gap smaller . Anyways nice videos keep it up 👍
@@frankycheechoo1126 we will most likely open up the gap later but this is what the tuner suggested as a starting point
The Canadian accents are hilarious
We’re not even real people
Back in 09 I spent 6 months working all over BC. Canadians may not be real people, but I still hold a fondness for our neighbors to the North. Plus, Wolverine is Canadian... That has to count for something. 🇨🇦
vibrations are going to cause those steel brackets to chew right through the shiny new aluminum heat-exchanger without some sort of rubber isolation between them if you put any real mileage on it. thankfully, you'll have the car back on the lift in six months to replace the brakes again since drilled rotors are only good for cracking and prematurely wearing pads.
Don’t tell my 300,000 mile truck with cross drilled rotors that theory. Been on there for YEARS with no problems to rotors or premature pad wear. Maybe you had a bad experience with poor quality parts ?
Needs the 5 spoke chrome wheels so badly. Those wheels are not it
Wheels and suspension next video
It’s not really a cheap Terminator and especially not anymore. You’re not Chris Sullivan so why copy him?
16,700 usd is cheap and I’m not copying anyone. Chris has done a great job with his cheaper one that’s unfortunately gone through many engines now
FedEx absolutely worst shipping company there is. UPS, then USPS…hell DHL is probably better than FedEx.
47:45 White zip ties look out of place, black zip ties are boring, should get some red or blue's as a secondary colour theme (probably makes it go faster too)
Already has black one’s on it as of this morning
If you’re Canadian why are you converting everything into American, leave it the way it is!
Because 70% of my viewers are American
@@itsreallyjakub why is that? Should be more Canadian!
