This Was a Disaster... | AE86 JDM Header Install

➢LEGENDS MEDIA STORE: legends.media/
In today's video we install the beautiful Tec-Art's AE86 header. This pairs nicely with the full fujitsubo and tec-art's exhaust. Unfortunately, through this process, had to take the distributor out and that messed with the timing of the engine. The car currently doesn't run now... time to figure this out and never touch that again..

Hey Dustin I know I seems kinda shitty when your're stuck in traffic, but lane splitting is actually good for traffic! It basically adds lanes, maybe just for motorcycles but imagine being that much more backed up. As long as they are being very careful and respectful than it's a good thing!

[@JDub33333]

Shit happens man. It seems like it’s always those seemingly simple 3 hour projects that turn into taking an entire weekend. This is just going to make its final form that much better!

[@dustiinw]

Exactly!! We will figure it out 👊🏼

[@khronoh8577]

Couldn’t agree more, just when we think “damn that was ez” something goes south 😂😂

[@midnightfd3s]

Yo cheer up brother! Tomorrow is always a better day, take a breath and get ready to kill it the next day! I feel the Cali commute, drive from Coronado to Murrieta everyday and after 2pm that traffic kills, I found listening to a chill podcast helps take your mind off it.

[@raw_fittedz]

Slight rotation on the dizzy can affect it, crank it over leave the dizzy hand tight and have tim rotate the dizzy to see if it holds it idle.

[@nickpolidoro9492]

I had an 86 back in the day & it came with a TRD header on it & it was designed the same as the tech art 4-2-1. It had the same style flange & everything. I actually think I still have a set of TRD 272 cams & cam gears in my garage as I was lucky enough to have bought a couple 86’s built in the 90’s with a bunch of TRD parts.

[@forty-glocc]

looks clean af with the new headers tho. i’m sure she gunna sound good when u figure it out 🙏🏽

[@beatzzc1t]

Good morning boys! Stay safe, and remember enjoy life! 💪🏾

[@asathomas5186]

Dustin, you are not alone. Saturday Feb. 5th, 2022 I pulled my car into the shop after work to do an oil change and swap my thermostat in my 6.1L Charger. Throughout the next week I started to lose coolant (didn't happen until this happened). Turns out my radiator decided to start leaking (Mopar, More problems). Friday the 11th I try to patch it (cause, money. I moved across the country in January). I was up until 2am doing that. The JB Weld patch kit made the leak 5 times as bad. So, yesterday (the 15th) I had to drop in a radiator. ALL CAUSE I DID A ROUTINE COOLANT EXCHANGE! As of today (the 16th), there are no leaks. Thank God. One shitty day is just that. One day. Keep pushing. Love watching your videos. By the way... WHAT HAPPENED TO 240Z, AFTER SEMA, PLAN!?!

[@martinchambert9391]

Hey Dustin, I'm not commenting a lot, but I had bad days and those commutes. On the paper, 40 min away from my job. In reality, 1h, 1h30, 2h, 2.5h....in the morning and the same at night. Trust me, your life will be soooooooooo great when your shop will be there at home like I did... This traffic thing will be a thing of the past in some months, and you'll enjoy your new life so much. So heads up, stay strong, it's on its way, and it will be awesome. Keep up the good work, you are doing amazing!

[@zacharybrogan9436]

You will get it fixed just check everything over again and make sure it's timed right and never know something could be lose or not plug in all the way but you got this bro love the vids

[@Mrwhatsittoya24]

Yesssir , the build keeps getting better and better keep up the great work dut!!! Folks let’s get him to a million subs we need to see that Hako

[@allstarvb]

Thanks for keeping it real Dut - just keep at it and it’ll get better 💪🏼

[@tristanmeadows]

Happy birthday for the other day dustin keep killing the content for us :D

[@JordanPayneLV]

I super relate to the last bit of this video where you rant about the bad days, no gym, traffic, yeah bro it’s tough. Real life shit man! Like you said, it’ll be all good. Headers look really awesome, can’t wait to hear it

[@978PalFiebru]

In Puerto Rico we got those Ae86 in every corner lol you should ask ricki to check it out maybe he helps

[@The_journeyy]

This man gets so much work done so productive 🔥😲

[@red_zed33]

I know you dont like it, but i love that rising sun style paint scheme on that valve cover.

[@robertosoriano202]

Really don’t miss with the content. Do More!

[@dustiinw]

👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@mariolagos6063]

Everything will be alright brother 👍👍

[@jaysonmac8294]

Easy way to check distributor alignment is remove exhaust side valve cover, distributor cap. Set to TDC and there will be a mark to line up with gear. Rotated rotor to cylinder 1 on cap. Slide in and confirm. If all mechnical timing is correct and wires good. You have to set base timing with a timing light. Jump pin T to E1 on diagnostic plug in engine bay to put in diag mode. Point light to crank pulley and time for 10 degrees. This is a must too when taking distributor out. Try this out first.

[@BourneThisWay]

I had that same issue when I tried cold starting. It needed more fuel because the fuel was too cold to ignite. When I opened the throttle, it shut off just like you described, because it didn’t need more air. It needed more fuel on cold start!

[@JaricHicks]

Ready sucks I feel like we’re all going through our own rough times right now but tuff times don’t last tuff people do we all can do this!!!

[@5nowwiz25]

ITS ALL GOOD DUT. KEEP A POSITIVE MINDSPACE AND THIS 86 WILL BE CRAZY CLEAN. WE BELIEVE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@vtec-619]

Love the 86 content those headers look amazing happy birthday Dustin🎉🎊💯🤙

[@dustiinw]

Thanks dude!

[@FutureBoostedMedia]

Happy belated Dustin! Loving the 86 build. It’s a beautiful platform and I’m glad you have it.

[@autopassion27]

I'm sad for you guys, I hope this is not too bad! But the full exhaust looks so dope!!!

[@FABCasso]

Build is coming together great. Happy belated bday, my bday was the 13th as well 🍻

[@Lan-Evo3]

Love the 86 build, love the passion, keep going Dut!

[@mikesback6127]

"Shit happens but it's going to be okay." I love this!!!

[@dudon.arendse]

Definitely the Distributor. Because you took it out to install the headers its needs to be rotated slightly again, every degree matters .

[@giovannifebus3700]

Happy Late Birthday Dustin! Thank you for being an inspiration not only for me, but for many people around the world 💯

[@ExtraButta]

As a motorcycle rider… splitting lanes is literally a safety net for us, when done properly. I wish every state allowed it. Great video and I def understand the frustration of a simple car mod going left.

[@jessiedelarosa1]

Garage/shop gym! The time saved commuting can be put towards time with tianna/sparco and project builds

[@subiefan9179]

Happy late birthday Dustin this build is so awesome hope legends does some awesome merch for this car.🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@solanod12]

Thanks for uploading! Currently in bed with COVID for the 2nd time!! 😪

[@grundy6921]

And happy late birthday dut! Hope it was a good one.

[@kasper_429]

This sucks, but stuff happens lol. I'm sure y'all will get it figured out! You could do a coil-on-plug conversion kit and get rid of the distributor, but I'm pretty sure that requires a new ECU or at least a chipped ECU.

[@luigireyes1346]

This was a good video. Being honest about modding cars. Things like this happen. Honesty in this video was on point. Overall looking forward to the next video because I know you guys can fix the 86. One day at a time. Big fan Dustin, keep up the good work with you and Tim!

[@bernardoromero4100]

The old header looks like a old pacer headers I use to have

[@hachiroku9793]

I Believe in you and your crew. Don't give up

[@MrAsianAirsofter]

Aye someone else who gets screwed by vday being in proximity to bday! Love the content Dustin! Also don’t dissappoint new jdm dad

[@dylanburke3763]

try flipping the air sensor around. I had the same issue when I put an intake system on my car, and it was all because the MAF was facing the wrong way

[@Apexer86]

The collector on your “TRD” header is wrong, these are copy ebay OBX headers. If you do research there are many side by side comparisons of the two. But good thing you replaced it with some solid headers. Hope this helps.

[@samyu63]

It's nice to see some failures. Why it won't start coz we wanna see how u and Tim will figure it out. Stuff like that happens to our cars too and it's good to see how u guys so troubleshooting and find the cause. So dont be miserable. It's good content for mechanics.

[@Jbrose391]

You grow on you days off from the gym don’t get down 💪🏼 #restdays

[@damienjooconnor4260]

Dustin put some FCR flat slide carburetors on that 4age and wait until you hear her sing , The induction sound is just insane .

[@BigBote]

happy belated dut! my birthday was valentines day lol

[@austinkruck]

Can’t wait to see the giveaway car next week, gonna be the best birthday present I get 😝

[@ryandanley5321]

That exhaust is going to scream at the higher rpm’s! Can’t wait to hear it.

[@ericwebber629]

Hey not sure if you figured this out yet. By the battery there is a clip you might have bumped loose. Black wire with red stripe. check thats connected. Also jump the diagnostic plug and get the ECU to do the engine light blink diagnostic. Im sure you know thats how to time the engine. It was having a hard time starting so double check timing and fuel Circuit Open Relay. cheers to your girl for putting up with 86 life lol

[@carlosflores5528]

That exhaust looks mint af even with the bluetooth O2 sensor, Jk hope you find a quick and good solution with the engine not starting man!

[@michaelcaldwell7438]

Can’t wait for the 86 merch 👀

[@sachinsukhu1186]

Road to 600k!!!🔥💪

[@dobledekersoulwrekr]

"Bad sh$t happens to me all the time too guys". Haha, "one of my 12 cars wouldn't start, what am I gonna do?"

[@basicallylegit5236]

Dont sorry about the rants hahaha, i love those ;) and plzz if stuff and life happens, things dont go ur way in the shop or home keep it in the Vlog, i think many cant get a different perspective seeing that even youtubers have these days! :)

[@grundy6921]

Scary title, but it’ll be a great video to start the day:) super excited.

[@johnrowell942]

Set the o2 sensor back up. Bet that way they fitted a narrow part of the exhaust on. To get back pressure, so the ecu would run. Bet the air and fuel mix is way off now. Sucking more air in, as the exhaust gas is bigger and faster leaving the cylinders. Hope you get it sorted. Take care

[@nickdoescher9957]

Sometimes I hear that the O2 sensor needs a spacer because it’s reading to much and spacing it away from the exhaust flow helps keep it from freaking out

[@riddlemethis01]

You might want to check the plug at the distributor and check the pins and wires. I've seen pins break, or flatten and the wires get brittle and break especially if it's been plugged in and unplugged allot. If the only thing you did was unplug the distributor then that is usually where the issue will be. I wish you luck, I know how much this project/build means to you and I'm sure you will figure it out.

[@joshpref3267]

Yes distributer wiring, had same issue on mine

[@the_real_greywolf]

You forgot the "Nut" button for the welds

[@rijad2224]

Hey Dustin, that is some jucy headers you got for the car, you may have swapped around the sparkplug wires somewhere, because it starts and idles for a bit and then dies. This usually means that the firing order is off, if it was timing then it will not start at all.

[@crypty547]

That Tec arts shirt is soo cool, I need one. 😔😔

[@duchuyle3258]

When installing distributors, you want the rotor pointing a little before cylinder 1 on the cap.

[@duchuyle3258]

Or is it after. I would set the crank at 10 degrees btdc and then install the dizzy with rotor pointing at cylinder 1 on the cap.

[@ElitePowner]

Check the resistance of your distributor pick-ups to see if its out of range, you have same symptoms I had

[@timholubowitch9097]

4-2-1. Gives a bit more growl in my experience. Not like a uel sound. Some times some more tq.

[@fernandoquiceno]

You gotta dry ice the underbody and wheel wells. Get that thing super clean.

[@Mr.NotYourPALGuy]

When your new shop is done, make a little corner a gym. That'd be sic

[@Skatinsince1997]

It's for sure a TRD header, you can tell because their the only aftermarket header with oem heatshield brakets.

[@paulkersey6283]

I doubt it the metal doesn’t look right it’s not thin enough like the oem TRD header that came factory.

[@Skatinsince1997]

@@paulkersey6283 oh you have a TRD header too?

[@carlsteamy]

please keep the valve cover I know you said you wanted to change it but I think it looks so good

[@khaozdreamz]

Hey Dut your allow to have time off brother and reset. Happy wife and life equals quality content later! Keep it up brother!

[@alexromero1235]

Now’s the part in the anime were the 86 gets the TRD Group A 4A-GELU swapped 👀👀 Just kidding, it is what it is, don’t let yourself down, amazing build!🔥

[@rwdplz1]

Sounds like it was out of gas? What's the fuel pressure?

[@tmlmagee]

Happy Bday Dut

[@red_dragonracingsilvereclipes]

time for Mickie to come to the rescue since he had a AE86.

[@mdelrosario1236]

Also check adjustment on the distributor

[@adyac]

Wow, amazing ♥

[@badgermetal]

I don't know how many times iv taken my distributer off then messed up the firing order or the ignition timing. Even with the ka24 I have managed to spend way to much time figuring it all out then find it its something simple. Another thing you can do is inplug the maf and try to start it. No maf should put it in limp mode and run rich but a faulty maf can make it not even run.

[@jbarnhill50]

You should do a loop pipe on the car my buddy has a 80 Corolla with 3tc and the loop pipe in exhuast it kinda like dirt bike design and helped alot on bottom end power

[@tonyaesthetics7428]

Top the center and ignition marck to the 1 piston and done ✅

[@shredtheknoll3357]

That header is art. 👌

[@ATS_Racing1]

Have to get the underside dry ice blasted, would look epic, have you checked the fuel pump??? Is it getting fuel

[@miguelbertoni4601]

Definitely have it Ice Blasted Dut. Dont think its got anything to do with the fuel pump, they never messed with the fuel side of things. Think its just timing or vacuum leak.

[@PhotoMeLarry]

10k till 600k!!!

[@RawSessionss]

I knew it wouldn't start up because KZbin didn't start the countdown for the next ad before you pressed the button :)

[@duval_ej6]

Either the distributor itself is worn or clocked incorrectly or the ignition coil inside the distributor arced and blew out when it was disconnected if the battery wasn't disconnected prior to it being taken apart. Slim chance, but possible if there was any current still going through it upon disassembly. I would also check any ignition related relays and all chassis grounds.

[@liamcosgrave5410]

The lane splitting/filtering is nowhere near as dangerous as vlogging whilst in traffic.

[@Mr_jz_12]

its also a safety thing too.

[@One21P]

Definitely the airflow sensor

[@carbonr33]

Check the fuel injection solenoid resistor the wires break off of them this happened to me on my gt4 by what the video shows the cold start is working

[@okthen8445]

Air, fuel, spark. Three key things to get a car running.

[@SkaterBenny1]

How much is a AE86 these days? Sweet build Dut

[@quemyst]

2:25 Dut noooooooooooh... Wash the shirt first... 🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️ 🤣🤣🤣

[@beardsley2199]

Hell yes can't wait to see this car when she's done! Them TE37's gonna look sick af! 🤣🤣 jkjk

[@dustiinw]

🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@beardsley2199]

Oh no what have I done!? 🤣🤣🤘🤘🤘

[@irabrook]

I have seen other headers which looked similar and were claimed to be trd so a definite solid maybe

[@mdelrosario1236]

Might new A new distributor or check the contacts with the distributor cap

[@richardgriffin2610]

Distributor is definitely off a tooth, flipped 180 or leads got swapped around.

[@Jcc693]

Lane splitting helps us a lot that means the driver needs to stay more ALERT 🚨 I love cars & motorcycles

[@Andyah]

how are the shop building going? havent seen anything about that for a long time now :)

[@qlu4902]

put in a new sensor or at very least an air fuel ratio gauge .. black top 20v motor swap if the motor die?

[@speedshift1014]

Check the points on the distributor, the distributor could be worn out and when you took it off something could have just failed. I don’t think it’s anything you did wrong I think the distributor is just shot. My 89 land cruiser’s distributor did something similar which I guess is expected on a 30+ year old vehicle. 😂

[@lewischafer3333]
