[@JeffSongCars]

Thank you so much for the kind words and support! There are definitely more videos coming out hahah 😄👍

[@carloshernandez6716]

Just subbed after watching a few of your videos,loving what you’re doing to your Evo, keep up the good work!

[@JeffSongCars]

Thank you for the support 😁👍

Nice job installing the IC pipes, now the car needs a front lip/splitter 😎

[@JeffSongCars]

Hahha thanks! I completely forgot about getting a lip haha yea I might get one of those duraflex lips from ebay 🤣

[@fitzroywilliams07]

The 3.5 intercooler fits perfectly fine and I think it’s rated for up to 700-750hp. But anyways nice work man🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@JeffSongCars]

Yea hahaha I just wanted to future proof the car with the 4" 🤣 thanks for the support 👍

[@MakeChristFamous]

I love colored intercoolers

Thanks Kevin!! 👍

Bruh! Love the content! You got my sub for sure!

Thanks a lot for the support! 😁👍🏼

[@CamApex9]

Another great video! I've already done my Intercooler piping (it was a pain) I just haven't upgraded my Intercooler yet! >_

[@JeffSongCars]

Installing the intercooler isn’t too bad compared to the lower intercooler piping if you get a 4inch or smaller hahah. I think my car someone bumped it in the front so it has a little less space than stock. You can definitely do it if you did the piping 👍🏼 thank you for the continued support 😄

nice golf bags

[@JeffSongCars]

😂😂😂 Dad is really into golfing hahaha

[@acedtune]

Pretty sure that's the power steering cooler but 💯 anything on the evo you have to take time . You should looking into a sent of Rad hose picks to help with the stuck hoses .

[@JeffSongCars]

Yea I may have to look for a new set of hoses hahah 😄

[@acedtune]

I have in the box red silicone ones from mishimoto. I just installed their radiator and oil cooler (oil cooler wouldn't recommend bad fitment)

[@JeffSongCars]

I heard there was a dual oil cooler/coolant reservoir from MAP might look into that 👍

[@acedtune]

@@JeffSongCars also on a side note from not sure if you do all your servicing but I am an Amsoil independent dealer , I obviously can't sponsor "free oil " your page but if you want I could give you a account to help you get the best cost on the oil . I just did my transfer case and transmission in mine yesterday.

[@JeffSongCars]

I do oil changes at most but I really want to be able to do my whole car so that would be awesome! I do have a couple of gallons on synthetic oil left over but let's keep in touch!

[@andrewvang3729]

Don't need to take off crash Beam bar, I got the same intercooler. Just gotta finesse it in there

[@JeffSongCars]

Sadly I think my car was hit and run as another viewer pointed out, I think someone hit my car just enough so that the bumper didn't show any damage but enough to push the upper portion that the intercooler slides into inwards so that the intercooler didn't fit 😭, just glad that it fit afterwards haha 👍

[@andrewvang3729]

@@JeffSongCars sounds good. Keep up the mods! Great job!

[@JeffSongCars]

@@andrewvang3729 Thank you!! 😃

[@evodudedad2053]

hehe jeff, if you think thats time consuming, wait till you gotta do the manifold and clutch :P

[@JeffSongCars]

😬I'm afraid to even touch those hahaha

[@cyesoft]

Thanks for the video, I find it really helpful and inspiring! ❤ Just one question. Is there any noticeable turbo lag after you jumped from 2.5 to 4 inch? That's few more liters of air to be filled. I am planning to install an ETS turbo kit on my bone stock EVO X and I wonder if I will see a delay in spool times (currently kicks in around 3500 rpm). Also, you did not get a remap, right?

[@JeffSongCars]

Thank you for the kind words 😁. I didn't really notice a huge difference in the turbo lag because I'm also using the stock turbo for now and I feel it's about the same. I'm not tooooo sure but I feel it kicks in at around 3800 for me. Didn't do a remap but I feel to really feel the difference between the 2.5 and the 4 I will probably have to get a retune. I am going to be going with a bigger turbo in the future so I just wanted to future proof my car haha 👍

[@awirefreak]

You don’t need to remove crash beam to install intercooler.

[@JeffSongCars]

I tried sliding the intercooler upwards but the middle metal portion that holds the freon was blocking the intercooler from going up any further, was there another way around that? I couldn't for the life of me push the intercooler upwards to make it fit the two bolts on the bottom of the intercooler hahah

[@user-wn4wf1yv9r]

Good

[@JeffSongCars]

Thank you 😊

[@user-gj6wb2jn2t]

Great Job WOW~ 영상잘보고 있습니다. 저는 한국에서 에보x 타고 있고있습니다. 혹시 COBB 관련해서 영상을 만드실 계획이 있나요? 저도 인테이크와 머플러 작업을 하고 COBB 혹은 MAP 중에 무엇을 할지 생각중입니다.

[@JeffSongCars]

안녕하세요. 영상 봐주셔서 감사합니다. 이미 COBB 인테이크, 테스트파이프, 이그저스트, EBCS 설치가 되어있습니다. COBB이 다른 회사보다 조용한 편입니다. 경찰한테 잡히고 싶지 않아서요. 하하하. 조만간 이그저스트 소리 올려드릴게요!👍

[@AlexJann23]

The hose from the blow off valve to the lower intercooler is always a pain to take off. Where in SoCal are you?

[@JeffSongCars]

Hahaha yea that was harder than I thought it would be, I'm in the LA/OC area

[@AlexJann23]

@@JeffSongCars I live in the same area. What's your IG?

[@JeffSongCars]

Oh nice! I haven't started an IG yet but will soon. Do you meet up with a lot of evo owners in the area?

[@AlexJann23]

@@JeffSongCars Mine is alexjann_evox I used to meet up with a group of guys with final edition in Tustin. We have not met in a year because of covid. If you're close by I can help you install parts if I'm free, I'm no expert and I learn as I work on my car thanks to youtube videos like yours. If it took you 5 hours to install the IC and IC pipes, it may take you 4 hours with my help hahaha.

[@JeffSongCars]

Hahaha awesome man I may take you up on your offer sometime 🤣 ill definitely add you on IG as soon as I start it 👍

[@oscarlugo5043]

Since you have a quick release are you running with no fender liners or under tray? Is it worth it?

[@JeffSongCars]

Even before the quick release I didn't run the fender liners or under tray 😂🤣 hahaha. There isn't a big difference I feel when running without those but I'm in areas that doesn't have too much road debris or rocks that can fling up into the undercarriage. Taking them off makes it so much easier to work on the car so I thought why not. Quick release definitely makes it easier to access the front end of the car 👍

[@oscarlugo5043]

@@JeffSongCars Oh okay nice I just installed a quick release but kept the fender liners and under tray but I guess you do have a point about road debris since I’m also in SoCal. I’ll most likely take them off soon because they are a pain lol. Anyway just discovered your channel and love your content man keep it up!👍

[@JeffSongCars]

Yea they're such a pain to take off haha, thanks for the support! 😁

黑色不够霸气,还是ams套件更帅

我想匹配汽车的颜色，所以我得到了黑色哈哈，AMS贵了一点，所以我选择了ETS 👍😁

[@heroe5237]

did you notice your car running lean after installing it without a tune? or was it safe

[@JeffSongCars]

The car feels the same I think, I pushed it a couple times without a tune and still have yet to tune it 😂 it might be good to get a tune if you’re getting multiple mods at a time 👍🏼 except if it’s a major mod that NEEDS a tune

[@heroe5237]

i see. yeah im kinda on the same boat right now. im future proofing for mods so i just want to make sure if ill be safe if i install it without tune

[@JeffSongCars]

Yea so far it seems fine and the car is running well for over a year now. If you are really hesitant though you can hold off on the tune until you get the future parts 👍🏼

[@evolicious-x]

If you get the intercooler piping anyone, don't bother with the lower intercooler piping. The stock one is fine. Save yourself a couple hundred dollars

[@JeffSongCars]

Ahhh didn't even know haha I just bought the whole set to make it match 😎👍

[@evolicious-x]

Same but I noticed how much hard piping there was on the stock one and I assumed it was mainly rubber.

[@evolicious-x]

Definitely gnna get the quick release though!

[@JeffSongCars]

@@evolicious-x Yea same here haha I never thought to look down there before installing and ended up buying the whole thing 🤣. Quick release makes life soooo much easier haha just be prepared to drill into your bumper though!

[@michaeljoseph2039]

did you need to tune your car by installing the Pipes and intercooler?

[@JeffSongCars]

Didn't need a tune for the intercooler and piping. I think my car runs a little better because before I had a problem with going full throttle and it would just die out on me(I think the stock intercooler piping would come lose) but with the pipes its stronger than ever 😎

[@ViggenStory]

Should remove the intercooler shrouds. Makes it look more aggressive. Are you going with 18k turbo?

[@JeffSongCars]

Hmmm I may do that haha, for the the turbo I was thinking of getting a stock frame 3576 from Chris Robbins(TRU turbo) on facebook

[@ViggenStory]

@@JeffSongCars Id do TPC GT SPEC

[@JeffSongCars]

What would you say the advantage of that turbo is? Is it a stock frame?

[@ViggenStory]

@@JeffSongCars it is. They use quality material all stainless steel. It is a stock frame. Check them out. Turbo parts Canada

[@JeffSongCars]

@@ViggenStory Hahahaha I think thats actually the company I was talking about. I think Chris Robbins runs that company 😂

[@basangtiti_31]

do you need tune for this?

[@JeffSongCars]

I’ve been running the car without a tune after the intercooler system but I was tuned before that. I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary to tune but it would help with the performance of the car 👍🏼

[@basangtiti_31]

@@JeffSongCars thats great! thinking of putting one on my 08 gsr haha. thank for the quick reply!

[@JeffSongCars]

No problem! Just don’t push the car too hard 😉 👍🏼

[@zipone_1726]

I think your car may have been hit in the front.

[@JeffSongCars]

Hmm that would make sense as to why it didn't fit snugly. Might have been a hit and run at a parking lot 😥

[@zipone_1726]

@@JeffSongCars o noticed one of the snorkels in your crash beam is broken also. That's what made me.think this. Nice car and video tho!

Oh! I was wondering why it was all mashed in I didn't even think to realize that may have been the case 😅. Thank you for pointing that out and for the support! 👍
