  • Well you asked for it so here it is! The GetaDomTune Cylinder 4 Cooling mod. Honestly this was much easier than I thought that this install would be. The longest part of this was waiting for the sealant to cure and burning the cooling system. Aside from that pretty straight forward and simple install!

    For anyone installing on a 13’ STi, I would assume 08-14. It is the hose above the one he tapped into, follow the black metal pipe. I made the mistake and tapped into the other hose.

    Thank you so much for these videos dude. I’ve been waiting for the right timing to purchase a ‘14 STi and it finally happened. It is unmolested with less than 90k miles, so I want to do everything I can to ensure longevity with this engine. I have a long to do list, but your videos are helping me prioritize and put things in a decent order so I can do multiple installs in one round (for example, Mishimoto radiator and cyl 4 cooling mod should be done simultaneously so I only have to burp system once).
    So hype! 🤩🥳🎉 🚙 💙

    Love the video, I would recommend getting a spill free funnel for adding coolant and burping. It firmly attaches to the fill neck for the coolant so it won't leak/spill. It lets you burp and keep extra coolant in the funnel so you don't need to continuously add while burping.

    Hello Tanner... at risk of sounding like your father, I'll suggest placing a solid support under the frame of the car. Don't trust that a hydraulic jack won't fail, and your car will end up crushing you. Very easy to have happen for several reasons. *Plan B is always a good BACK up plan to live by. Cheers P-fizz.

      UEL headers generate more heat which transfers into the block, the longer unequal length cause the heat to take longer to travel through the pipe so it gets hotter increasing the chances of knock
