  • Installation of the Cylinder 4 Reverse Cooling Mod on an STI | GetaDOMTUNE |. This is a step by step guide so, no more excuses! I go over the theory of how it works, the completed & detailed installation, and offer tons of tips and info along the way. This particular install was on a 2020 Subaru STI and while the specific kit is the GetaDOMTUNE kit, these are the same steps for ANY kit you decide to get. These videos take a lot of time and effort, please share this video on Subaru/STI circles! Thank you!

    This a awesome guide. I couldn't get my hands on a 1" crow foot wrench in time for my installation so we just tightened it with a 1" deep socket first; then we attached the hose and tightened the clamp with a tiny ratchet and 7mm socket. It was super simple this way for anyone who doesn't have a crow foot wrench.

I try to replace a new Radiator and plan to add this Cooling Mod at the same time, but I am still confusing that dose the Cooling Mod needs to be pinched all the time during the system burping? Or it should be unpinched before the engine starts?

    Thank you for this. Particularly the crow's foot. You are literally the only person that even shows the fastener tightened to the block, let alone properly explain how to do so. I even asked people wtf they used to tighten it. Everyone says an adjustable wrench, channel locks, or vice grips. I have multiple sizes of each but speaking from experience, that steering part in the way makes using those tools not really possible. Now I can break the thing back out and throw it on next coolant flush!

    Just did the install yesterday and finished up today. This was an extremely helpful video. Just like your IDoing head unit install. With this one, I had to do it a little differently since, I'm sure you know now, the coolant mod hoses are now bent at a 90 degree angle, I had to screw the barb in by itself then mount the hose. That's pretty much the only difference. I still don't understand why we had to pinch the hose but I did it anyway and after a good 20 min, I didn't get any more bubbles and temps were smack dab where they should be. I will continue to monitor throughout the next week or so and then I'll throw my under cover back on. Thank you for the really informative video.

    great video bud.
    I would suggest a red rubber tip for your test light / visual probe to make it safer from scratching sensitive areas. and also easier to see. All the extra bolts I personally use various types of anti seize and thread lock. Thread lock is super important if you ever expect anything to stay put or 10 k plus Kilometers.
    last tip, before removing the filler funnel for your coolant, you can squeeze on the rubber hoses a bit to raise the coolant level before plugging the funnel. so that way, you have no spills. Again, great Video, super clean engine too, Beautiful. I bet she's a lot of fun. Cheers

    Had my 21 sti for almost a year and i got it right before summer ended, so im experiencing my first full summer with the car and today i got to see first hand how my sti would act during 100+ degree weather. I had low throttle response and when i had the ac on and i gently pressed on the gas, itd go to 1100 rpm then go right down to about 700rpm even when my foot is still pressing on the pedal lightly. Did some research and it was just heatsoaked. I want a ic sprayer but dont trust myself to diy it with the wiring. So this may be the next thing ill do the next time i change my coolant. Considering the video is super informative

  • @peeposadboy
    @peeposadboy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It’s more so to prevent ringland failure, not to prevent knock. Lol. While this MAY help with knock, the original purpose of this mod is to prevent ringland failure because especially on the EJ with unequal length headers, cyl 4 gets very hot and is prone to ringland failure. This mod and either a catch can or AOS can help prevent the dreaded cylinder 4 ringland failure. FA20’s should consider this if you’re doing the Tomei unequal length.

    Awesome video man! I just got an AOS, Cylinder 4 mod and KoyoRad to do all at the same time over a long weekend. I’ll definitely be using your videos for my install journey. 2 questions though: any reason you didn’t just tighten the plug to the head without the hose? I figure it would be easier to use a socket wrench than a crows foot. Have you made a radiator install video?
