Lexus SC400 Drift Build. Ep.45 - Installing LSA Exhaust Manifolds, Spark Plugs and Wires

So the LS engine has fired up and runs, but since these videos are a little behind current progress, I still need to finish out the rest of the engine build. In this episode we install exhaust manifolds from a 6.2L LSA engine along with new #acdelco exhaust manifold gaskets. Also getting installed are #NGK spark plugs, Blue Streak 8.5mm plug wires, new o2 sensors, and some other stuff.
NEW! Fully Spooled MERCH! You can buy t-shirts and hoodies to help support the channel here:

Thanks for watching everyone! Just working through a couple videos worth of content that I filmed before the livestream where the engine started for the first time. Next video will be the transmission mount, then I can move on to gauges, suspension, knuckles, diff welding, and then track time!

[@WarriorsPhoto]

Fully Spooled Good luck, it is an amazing car for sure.

[@Kasu_zlp]

Yes, would love a video on the modified catch can

[@FullySpooled]

gtewill it’s on my list of videos to make

[@jla8718]

Thanks for helping me again on those upgraded brakes back in early 17". Sadly I sold my rebuilt 97 sc400 in 18" after I left the navy in san Diego ✌. Still watching yours though!

[@FullySpooled]

Sad to hear the SC is gone, but thanks for continuing to watch!

[@nitemarecustoms2735]

Hell yea man I can’t wait to drop mine in now!!! You have done a great job explaining what all you are doing and showing what steps you took!! Thanks!

[@FullySpooled]

Good luck with your swap. I was trying to be clear with what I was doing, so hopefully it helped.

[@hasso0n]

Finally! Just finished binge watching every episode, took me 12 hours! Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@FullySpooled]

Wow! I'm almost sorry you had to experience all of that at once. Yep, more coming soon. Thanks for watching!

[@CarswithNash]

Looking good, nice build!

[@FullySpooled]

Thanks! I'm really just happy it all works so far.

[@XW0RKS]

do that catch can episode, explain to us what it really does, how it benefits and how to install it.

[@revmatchtv]

So much progress!! Since you got it started, we are getting closer to the first test day :)

[@FullySpooled]

Yep yep! Still some work left to do, but at least I know the engine runs! Tuning...exhaust...diff welding...suspension work.... it never ends.

[@IOwnCalculus]

Good call on the newer QC/AN adapter.

[@FullySpooled]

Yeah I didn't even realize it'd be an issue until someone pointed it out a while ago. Cheap insurance.

[@dokktekk]

Looks almost OEM!!

[@FullySpooled]

Haha ok at least the oil dip stick does lol.

[@dokktekk]

The way the motor sits and how the intake pipe and filter sits, it looks like it came like that from factory...to me at least.

[@802Garage]

Congrats again on finally getting it running! I would honestly like to see your version of modifying the catch can, since I'm sure you researched and did it well. Totally understand if you don't feel like making that episode though. I'm guessing that little throttle stopper switch was originally the kick down to tell the auto to go down a gear. Fun episode, feels like the finish line is near!

[@FullySpooled]

Yep, the throttle stopper is the kickdown for the factory auto transmission. It works perfectly as a stopper for the gas pedal and I'll know when the button gets pushed that I'm at full throttle. It randomly worked out that way, but I like it. Now that I have a drill press I can make a much better version of the catch can, so maybe I'll put that on my list of things to do.

[@802Garage]

💣

[@agball513]

Great videos, good you do a video on wiring the oil pressure, tach, and other gauges? Good job, keep em coming!

[@FullySpooled]

8 Bomb Garage yep! I’ll be doing a video on installing the gauges. I still need to purchase a tach before I can do that.

[@xERNIE64x]

Loving this shit man 💯

[@FullySpooled]

Thanks! Getting it closer to being track ready.

[@xERNIE64x]

Fully Spooled cant wait man whats ur plan to make good time laps or drift set up or both?

[@raulcamcho7046]

You should consider about your transmission fluid And differential fluid to see if they’re still in decent shape

[@raulcamcho7046]

Or lease the level

[@FullySpooled]

The transmission is brand new and I filled it with Redline ATF as per manufacturer recs. The diff will be emptied and welded soon!

[@226sickology]

Damn sick

[@brandonzollars9139]

First. 🤘🏻 keep pushing out these awesome videos man!

[@FullySpooled]

Thanks! I'm working on it!

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

cool build man , i used a lot of DEI on all my cars. you can see it on my home page in my wife's mini

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

did the titanium wrap on the supercharger intake plenums

[@FullySpooled]

Yeah the DEI stuff is cheap insurance for sure. I don't want any battery cables melting at the track and causing a fire.

[@billygreenhorn9275]

How do you plan on getting it to the track? How far away are you from a track?

[@FullySpooled]

billy greenhorn I daily a Jeep Grand Cherokee which I will tow it with. I’ll just need to rent a trailer. I’m in Los Angeles which is about an hour and a half or so from several great tracks.

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

i am working on an assetto corsa version of you car. ill link the vid when i get the car built . i have an sc300 but ill put the ls7 in it from another mod. it should do the job.

[@FullySpooled]

Dude, that's awesome! I can't wait to see!

[@xERNIE64x]

Quick question though whats the pcv for?

[@FullySpooled]

PCV stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation, and it's how the engine removes/recycles air that escapes the combustion chamber and gets into the crankcase below the pistons. That air has to escape somehow, otherwise the oil pan would explode, so it is sucked out of the crankcase by the engine's vacuum and reintroduced back into the intake to get burned again. Because this air passes through the oily crank case, it usually has fine oil particles mixed in, so having an oil/air separator, or catch can, helps remove the extra oil and fuel before the air gets pushed back through the engine again.

[@xERNIE64x]

Fully Spooled makes alot of sense now thanks man u did a good ass job explaining that

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

lol i have 2 of those on my fx2 cheap catch cans

[@jesseiwamoto8870]

Should of kept the 1uz 🤦‍♀️

[@FullySpooled]

jesse iwamoto I have nothing against the 1uz. I just happened to have a 40,000 mile LS and brand new t56 Magnum sitting in my garage, and I sold the 1uz for the same amount I paid for the car. They are both reliable, powerful, and proven engines.
