Your the person that helped me through my rebuild😂 I just rebuilt my 91 and your the only person that had good videos. It had bent valves in the rear head and I rebuilt it in the car. I’ve watched all of your videos about the car and they’re all helpful and interesting. My abs is bad so that’s my next step . I’d love those parts but with my luck I ain’t gonna get them. Ps I’m 16 and I take pride that I built a car that most men are scared of. Keep of the great content up. That’s for all your help.
A giveaway for those intercoolers would be amazing. Watching my temps after a rebuild I'm just seeing them go up a few degrees as soon as I get into boost on my 91 Stealth Turbo.
Giveaway sounds cool, especially if I got them lol. Hopefully that front mount will do its job. Also just a heads up, idk how hot it gets over there but here in Cali those front mounts will block a decent amount of cooling that goes towards the radiator so keep that in mind if you plan on driving on a hot day. Keep on the great content man!
This is a cool a Huracan and a vr4, I had a vr4 that didn't run and a SL as my first car and am currently working towards buying a Huracan. You have good taste they're even red and white!
Give us a long term update on the Phenolic spacers, just got mine and they feel like they could be better but I've never used the phenolic material before. it would be nice to see some long term reviews
Ahh yes thanks for the link, I have the AEM also, was unaware I could change my fan settings in there lol My set up has the trunk battery relocation and two intakes like your planning but im not sure about the throttle body coolant, definitely gonna look at that and these mods ya did here thanks again 👍
🤙 yep yep no problem... that whole build is on my channel pretty much step-by-step everything... if you have anymore questions I'm sure it on my Channel or just leave the comment I'll do my best answer you
Would love a giveaway for that intercooler setup! Also looking forward to seeing how much those drop your temps/ how much power is gained from it, Good stuff as always Ian!
Coolant lines for the TB are for the FIAV. You need a bypass plate installed inside the TB if your going to delete remove the coolant lines. 3SX or STM sells a kit.
My 383 striker in my 85 z28 Camaro flex plate did that to me on a drive. A bunch of use with for my buddy’s bachelor cruse and going around a corner and I kinda floored it and bam done. That sucked I couldn’t shut the car off knowing it wouldn’t start back up but got pulled home
I hope everyone is doing great. Really enjoying your videos. I love how everything is so well explained. Very excited to see how much it'll make with the new setup.
It runs along the top of the subframe like the ETS kits did. I built them because nobody else made anything again. Huge temperature drops running the intercooler pipe under the turbo and getting rid of it over the turbo exhaust. I’d post some pictures of it here if I could. I’ve got multiple people running them on 3SX single core, CX single core, and CX dual-core FMIC kits. I’m working on seeing how to get it to bolt up to the Greddy FMIC kits as well.
My build is slightly different than most 3000gt. I can’t afford a vr4 rn so I got a base model and put a manual trans in and got the dual turbos for it but it’s all on fwd not awd Ik it’s not the best way to go but it’s how I’m gonna be able to have a build I can make some power with and cool turbo noises
I was planning on getting some of those side mount inter coolers. My goal is 400whp so it would be a good upgrade for my application. After wrapping it, all that’s left are for me to get bigger turbos and supporting mods
Lol AutoZone 🤣 .... I went there for that ceramic paint for the heat shields.. and it was in the same spot Soooo figured I would try it ... just going to keep a fire extinguisher with me the first couple drives
Crazy man, i need to mentally prepare myself for my VR4 rebuild. You have patients man, have to give you credit. I always wanted to make use of the side scoops.. wonder if there is space for oil or coolant coolers in there? I could give her the crazy cooling of a supercar. Love the lambo by the way, that is a dream for tomorrow though , the VR4 needs all my time and money. Unless Shiba inu returns with a ferotious rally ha ha .
To clarify, the coolant going to your throttle body is related to your cold idle vs warm idle. It’s way more simple than you describe it. Basically, FIAV has a wax ball attached to a valve. When the coolant is cold, it keeps the valve open allowing air to bypass the TB… causes higher idle. As your coolant warms up, the wax expands and pushes the valve closed. this stops bypass air and lowers your idle speed.
I tired those spacers but had alignment issues because it brings the intake manifold higher and the throttle body out further into the battery but you probably won't have that problem.
I do wonder what kind of effect wrapping the intercooler piping in gold foil would have. I've seen that around on intake piping, but I can't tell if it does anything or if it's mostly for show.
mine has started to boil the fuel as it sits off after driving. Its the craziest thing. I think these things have a huge problem with heat soak in more ways than we know.
Hey man, have you check the compression on your engine after you rebuild it. I don't remember seeing you post it. I check my vr4 when it was cold and I got 130psi
@@eca7773 yeah I did a be before and after Dyno pull .. I don't remember the exact numbers but my intake temps were way down for sure. Again, it's been so long. I don't remember the exact numbers you have to watch the first Dino video and then the second... But it was something substantial. I think it was like 30 or 40°. .... It may have been even more. I think my first Dyno run I was hitting 120 intake temp and my next one I was in the '70s..... I really don't remember dude. I'm not trying to be like oh go watch my video so I get views if you really want to see before and after you just got to go check them out. I don't get any money from your view. Anyways be honest with you 🤣
@huracanian3051 thanks for the honest reply. I just bought a European '99 3000gt (here they were all VR4s, but with 13G turbos) and just want to do some light mods to keep it mostly stock, but increase the power and efficiency slightly. The spacer sounds like a nice step that would be good for the engine overall. I was glad to hear that even here the '99s (which look like the 2nd Gens with the glass headlights) were also delivered with the ECU that can be reflashed, so I can at least tune the engine for some better performance.
@eca7773 yea man ... For sure ... I would also do that heat shooting I did under the intake manifold. It seemed to help a lot by keeping the intake manifold cool to touch... I don't know how long you've had the car, but those intake manifolds are known to get Hot to where you can't even touch them even on a stock car.. The fact that I can do Dyno pulls on my car and touch the intake manifold and not burn My hand is kind of amazing in my opinion
Coming from the shorts earlier... Glad to see the intercooler swap... On the other note since u were mentioning having issue of big heatsoak from the stock intake manifold, My buddy here have similar engine but running n.a did use rb26 big aftermarket intake plenum and custom fit to oem half intake riser... Basically he deleting the massive long runner intake... On boosted application, long runner doesnt really needed... Its just mitsubishi leave them as packaging.. to avoid big buldge on the hood... But if u dont really mind having intake buldge on the hood, by any mean if u can fabricate custom intake manifold, using rb26 bi plenum intake might be a good way to start doing one... Cheers...
The torque converter is swelling and the pressure pushing against the flex plate is causing the flex plate to fracture. The reason it's still starting is because at lower RPM.'s the flex plate and that metal piece with the bolts fit together like a socket and a nut my Silverado had the same issue I broke 2 flex plates before my guru explained to me has encountered the same problem years ago. Needs new torque converter forsure.
Question? What size fuel injectors did u use? And did u have to bypass the resistor? I went with 500cc for mine would I need to bypass mine? Stock is only 360cc so I went to 500
I got 800cc and not if ur running AEM .. .. bypassing the resistor is like a weird thing that some people say you have to do and some tuners can tune with it still on ... I did not bypass mine
Amazing that people still find parts for these cars. Had a 1991 Galant Vr-4 years ago before it was stolen and stripped. Gave up on this level of mod because of it. Brandon level gas prices are intended to destroy it for all now anyway.
Well I could certainly use extra parts for my 93' SL rebuild, toss those intercoolers in a giveaway! Got any advice for pumping old gas out? Tried hooking a hose up to the gas line before the filter to try and pump it out but either my pump is bad or it's not getting power

The thing i love about your videos is that the comment sections alone is very informative haha, its like a thread in 3si
I’ve got a stock motor, for now, I ordered these heat soak gaskets because cooling it down can’t hurt! Thanks for the suggestion and review!
It's worth it
Crazy how much of a difference those spacers make! Wouldn't have thought it would make such a huge difference!
WAKE UP IAN POSTED🔥🔥
Lol I would not get up for me lol

Yeah but where is your intake temp sensor
Should get the power u wanted now! Awesome job Bro 🔥
Sidemount really needed, can't wait!
Your build is looking great. Keep it up!
Good looking kit from 3sx, might have to pick up some spacers myself
The amount of work you did on this car is really insane!

They are sick lol ... Thanks bud
The plenum spacer really makes a difference. You can cook eggs on the intake!
Great video, definitely taking your advice for fixing the heat sink on my '91
This is a cool a Huracan and a vr4, I had a vr4 that didn't run and a SL as my first car and am currently working towards buying a Huracan. You have good taste they're even red and white!

Interested in a giveaway for those smic! Great content btw, now the car will run a lot more cooler!!
That is some crazy material it must be made out of to take that kinda heat 24/7 i’ve seen some fake ones on ebay melt and go into the lower intake
Yeah don't buy those fake ones I forget the name I think I said it in one of my videos it starts with a P
There’s a guy on fb that sells a pipe that eliminates that front charge pipe by the radiator hose. It routes under everything instead
How dose it run under .. I seen people say that but I done have room under I and scraping on stuff now if it runs under the sub frames
It runs along the top of the subframe like the ETS kits did. I built them because nobody else made anything again.

@@joseurrutia102 sure lol if you break it build it better
@@joseurrutia102 if you have a forged crank, yes.
If you have a cast crank, you'll have a time bomb at 400+ whp

Hoping to win the giveaway. That aside injoy the videos keep it up. Also just wondering other than 3sx and ebay where do you buy your parts?
I would love it if you did a giveaway on those intercoolers, would definitely help anyone of us still using stock.

O lol ok ... so do I even need that wire plugged into the bottom of the throttle body ?
Or can I just take those four bolts out and delete that whole system ? .. what do I need a block off plate ?
You want the block off plate to retain the ISC. STM Tuned sells one for $20. Coolant lines you can either block off, or loop them together.
@@huracanian3051 what wire are we talking about? there are two plugs that go to the TB- one is your TPS and the other is for your idle motor.
@@pauldawidowski2053 I shouldn't have to do that with a standalone ..

The heat comes from the engine itself. Those spacers don't help cooling down the plenum unless you ceramic coat it.
The heat comes from the compressed intake charge that the intercoolers didn't cool.
