it's feel like DIY car, happy to see this car

I also am a bug-eye WRX owner ... I would like to request this car come back... And for a stage 2 build on this... Do the hybrid ej257 with ej207 heads... Double head gaskets iag oil pickup tube oil pan oil air separator throw some killer bee parts on it... Bring Mike from Moto IQ... He's like the Bob Ross of mechanical engineering! That would be an awesome awesome stage 2 build for this not that the EcoBoost is not fun but that should be an EJ... It should absolutely 110% be an EJ

Did you know if there a sign petition to Factory Five to bring this car back?

If anybody has any pull with Factory Five/ Dave, please get this back into production,.. the GD wrx's are getting rusty & parted out. This gives the subaru builders (me incl) a place to continue our drivetrains & tuning & collected parts etc.. they rarely come for sale & already built, this keeps the wrx crowd alive at a reasonable price.

I really think they should bring it back with Honda drivetrain options. I’m a Subaru guy myself but I think the platform would be pretty great and easy to do a k-series in it.

I find it odd that this video is being uploaded now. The 818 is not even available to purchase at the moment.

My bro...what wheels are those on the black car?!

All I can say is I hope the new Subaru gearboxes are a lot stronger than the earlier versions. Traditionally the early versions would destroy 2nd gear very soon after any boost increase.

@@rico55pr1 Yeah; you caught the name "Subaru", right? I agree that it MIGHT be different ratios, but the internals are identical from the factory. Worked on them for years. STI is a trim level and software tune. The parts is parts.

You would never see me use the Subaru engine Because I basically have to pull the motor to swap the spark plugs, And the transmission unless it is built by a third party I am not dealing with it because you try to put enough power in it Anything over 500 And those teeth are gonna shear themselves apart

Plenty of room in the engine bay of the 818 to swap Subaru spark plugs. You also don't need, nor could you put down, over 500 hp in the 818. You can't get enough rear tire under it unless you fabricate custom fender flares.

It's a track purpose car that some states will allow you to register for street driving as a kit car. It's not really meant for daily driving or comfort.

As a Subaru owner since 2003, I would've preferred to see the 2.5 turbo Subaru boxer engine instead of the Ford. Just FYI... on my 2nd Forester, wife had an Outback and now a Forester, one daughter owns a Forester, other owned a Forester in the past.

I would rather run a K series Honda engine.

@jonf2009

Ай бұрын

Making a k series work in a traditional mount angle is more work than most people know due to a k series originally meant to be transverse mounted. It's doable but you end up buying even more parts vs the Ecoboost being a drop in since Ford uses that engine in rwd setups already.

If you build one of these cars, figure out how to run a motor that is reliable. The Subaru EJ and Ford EcoBoost motors are both junk as far as reliability is concerned. Maybe a Honda k series and transmission would fit? They are WAY more reliable

This. A K20 would be way more reliable and make more power.

Kit was designed around the Subaru parts. To fit the ford 2.3 it needs an adapter, no adapter for the Subaru motor. It really doesn't make much sense to fit a ford motor - unless the Subaru donor's motor was dead.

That's what I explained - the kit was born a Subaru, it was designed to work with Subaru parts from the outset. The Ford motor is the deviation from the original design.

@jonf2009

Ай бұрын

The answer is simple the Subaru uses a transaxle for it's AWD setup, that means the transmission has two front shafts coming from the sides and a rear driveshaft to give it the AWD. Right now Ford uses a transverse/fwd style mount for it's AWD so the entire thing is mounted differently. This why no Ford transmission.

It seems like they went out of their way to ignore the fact you could use a wrx engine in this kit and push the ford ecotrash engine instead.
