0:01What's up guys, it's your boy John. and we, we are back again here with another video.
0:26Today, today we'll be working on the Integra Type S, which is super cool because a lot of y'all
0:31love it.
0:32And what's better than just looking at it is checking out the new car parts.
0:37So this is the Jogun strut and it's made out of dry car and I believe these are aluminum
0:44so it's super lightweight.
0:45Check this out, I can pick this up with two fingers even holding it like this.
0:49Now I'm not even holding it at the center of gravity and it's really lightweight but check
0:54this out too.
0:55No bend.
0:57I mean super rigid as well.
1:00And then you have these great mounting plates for the strut brace and just kind of tie
1:05things together.
1:06Now, you can tell everything's CNC machined perfectly, super, it's just really nice.
1:14Here it's right there on those two little holes and yeah, let's get that going on.
1:22Just a little background, there is a little hole right here.
1:25That's because the strut, there's like a little helper right there so it helps align
1:32everything.
1:33Pop the hood.
1:34Now I do have strut so something to keep in mind, as you can see, you can't really
1:54run a strut brace because
1:59let me remove that and all you have to do is remove these three bolts and you, you just
2:05slap it on so it's pretty self-explanatory.
2:08Let me get it going.
2:09All right, your setup will look more similar like this where you'll have the three minus
2:15this a bracket because that was the right thing, 14's and this one's a little bit
2:37tricky so I'm just going to use a 14's wrench.
2:42I removed this little nub just so I can get more clearance.
2:45Yeah, three nuts off, pretty self-explanatory and of course you want to mount this bad thep boy
2:53in the right way.
3:08Just mount it back and it's perfectly flush.
3:12After you have those three bolts on each side, there's some hardware where you connect the
3:26two and then that's it.
3:31So you get a little, inside this package right here, you get these four really nice
3:37Allen key ones and you just put them on the top securely.
3:45It's already threaded so you just walk it in.
3:53So there's one,.
3:54I mean I just kind of, I need, I got it started but get it going.
3:59So this is 50 foot pounds and then right here it's going to be 22 foot pounds for these
4:05two, 50, 20 foot pounds.
4:10Looking good, looking good.
4:13So that concludes the Jogan strut brace, dry carbon, nice mounting here, everything fit
4:22like a glove.
4:24As far as the tool I use for the textbook, mine's at eight on it so eight and then 22 foot
4:31pounds.
4:32This was 50, a nice street car look and sometimes other cars in coffee or the car
4:41made by my house, pop the engine bay and give it a nice wow factor but that's it.
4:48If you guys are interested in this product, I'll leave a link down below but thank you
4:52guys for watching.
4:53I'll catch you.
4:54Two eyes in the next one.
