as a wrx wagon owner as well. the up pipe is a dick of a job to do. for anyone watching who is going to do the same job. undo the two bolts on the engine mounts. undo the a bolt on the pitch mount seeing as youll have the intercooler off already and jack up the engine with a block of wood under the sump. ive removed a catted up pipe from a bugeye wagon and recently a 03 turbo foz this way. means you you don't have to remove the turbo. and, underrated mods to do to these cars. group n sti gearbox mount. upgraded pitch stop mount (whiteline, perrin, ect), rear sway bar and heavy duty mounts. top 3 mods to do.

I was wondering about that exhaust! I paid $1500 for mine on the e30, I thought, how on earth, $380??? Riiiiiiiiiight, it's crap.

The joys of subaru flat fours... loving the series!

It's pretty wild how big of a bump in power you can get from bolt-ons and a tune. Modern turbo cars are pretty impressive. There was a time not long ago where to see that kind of gain, you had to go from NA to forced induction.

FYI, the normal way to remove the up pipe is to loosen the engine mounts and jack the engine up on one side to rotate it out the way.

Gotta agree with the other comments, I am really enjoying this series. You really don't need fancy editing or equipment to make a good video, just good connections and a good idea. You guys are really making something nice happen with all of these extra guys and involving yourselves so much. It's not like "we dropped it at the shop and they fixed it up for us", it's: "we got down and dirty for 2-3 days working on this, eventually we had to give it to the shop because it's just out of our expertise, but we did most of the work". Really adds a nice personal touch to it that makes me all the more invested. Plus bringing in experts to really give it a specialty touch, with Richard and Duncan being specialists in the field.

Yay! Happy to see subie again!

This video perfectly sums up what it is like to work on a Subaru, a massive ball ache but worth it when all done! Good work guys, and still with £6k of the budget left!? Get a forged block, bigger turbo and FMIC and it will be a monster! By the way, I think the stock injectors were 440cc's

@b.w.9392

Жыл бұрын

Forged block for 6k is a bit much. You could do rods, pistons and an sti vf34 turbo, not accounting for labour that should work. A ej207 sti engine can hold about 360hp (with stock turbo) with rods/pistons about 400. Depending on how different the wrx ej205 is anywhere between 360 and 400 is possible

Subaru are the easiest vehicles to work on

More racing stripes! More vents! Racing stripes tell the air where to go, for faster acceleration, and higher top speed! Each stripe = 3hp. More vents = more cooling = more efficient = more fast. More vents also means more holes, making the car lighter!

Man I started wondering if I would see this episode before doomsday

Yesss, the Subaru is back!

Thats a very happy dyno to hit 300whp on a stock TD04. A VF34 maxes out at around 300hp

Now you can say blood, sweat and tears went into this build

I have been waiting for this video for soooooo long!!! This series is great!

Dumping a bunch of dry ice on the sound deadening material on the floor will help break it up, hammer it to small bits before dumping it directly on the material and it will make chiseling it off much easier.

Front splitter, rear diffuser, flat underbody (you should be able to make all of these with angle grinder and sheet of abs/aluminium)

Been really into these series now, having 2 Subarus myself and did exact same jobs you did byself without any experience was a 'cancer', but gained loads experience . Funny enough I had exact same exhaust blow lol. Keep the great work, this is true enthusiast stuff!

This series is where it’s at!, keep it regular!

Richard is the man! Put so much effort. Should probably have gone for modifying a swift sport vs a standard subaru or something like that.

Loving the series! You are the new and improved top gear, but better in my humble opinion. Only wish I have is these were posted more often

Genuinely one of my favourite series done on KZread, love a scooby 👍🏽

Hmmm... Something seems off with that power number. I've never seen a wrx with the OEM td04l make over like 250whp. That Dyno must either read very high, or there's some corrections going on. You're lucky to make that power on an ej205 with a vf39 from an sti.

Best series on YT RN...Just wish the episodes were longer.

I have been subbed since the first episode of this series and wow! It really shows how you don’t need much to make performance. I’d also like to add a ❤ for Duncan!

You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this video.

Duncan’s got that Keichi Tsuchiya levels of legendary presence about himself!

For future reference, to get the up pipe out, I unbolted my headers, and I took out the bolts that mounts the motor to the subframe, then jacked up the motor, should just slip out if you do it right. No need to unbolt the turbo

This gives strong Top gear vibes and I love it. Thanks guy!

I spent more then 2k on my car so far in just performance parts. GDI 2.0t on e50 with aux fueling. Has 2 extra 42lbs injectors on throttle body that only spray under whatever throttle position I have them set up at. Helps keep my valves clean also.

Awesome content. This is what KZread should be all about!

At least you'll have plenty experience when putting on that new larger turbo. My vf52 was a great upgrade for my outback XT looking forward to the next episode!
