@@JordanSilveira23 Thanks for stopping by my channel! I hope you enjoy the journey along with me :) That hyper blue is a great color! Do you still have it? Perfect choice. When I saw the Hakone 1.0 come out, I fell for the distinguished look. I’m glad to see it coming back, awesome choice! I find myself driving all over the LA, IE, and OC. It would cool to see you in the new Hakone in the future. Thank you 🙏🏽 and an early congratulations to you! Let me know when you get it and we’ll make it happen 🏎️💨

@@shift__robinson I unfortunately sold my HyperBlue at the height of the used car value appreciation...and it was officially the worst decision I made I miss the grounded communicative steering and driving of the car as I went to a Tesla Model 3 Performance Unfortunately my Tesla was totaled in the last month due to someone sending me spinning down the 5 southbound I appreciate the early congratulations and I'll definitely be watching along your journey and keeping you posted once I take delivery I won't have the car for long as my plan is to get it fully PPFed/Tinted as my first trip from the dealer. It'll sit there getting that done before it even hits my garage.

@@JordanSilveira23 Aww man, I feel that 🥲 That’s a big transition. What do you think of the Model 3, and going from ICE to EV? Holy 💩! Hopefully you were okay, at least you were in one of the safest cars on the road for an accident. Sorry to heat about that. Definitely! You must be itching to get back into the next generation platform. Have you test driven a GR yet? Good move 👏🏽 I think it’s the best investment I’ve ever made for paint protection. Having a special edition preserved for many years will be rewarding. Can’t wait to see it!

The Model 3 was fine I guess. Very sterile driving experience that left me wanting my BRZ back. Thanks for the well wishes. I am thankfully okay and the Tesla did handle the accident like a champ I haven't test driven a GR yet, but I imagine it's much like my BRZ, just better and more immediate in power delivery

@@kickdreaming Might as well 😉 Take care bro 🙌🏽

@@zuhlera Having that stop and go traffic helps as it sweeps through the rpm. It won’t hurt to climb higher revs, but having that mix is okay. Warm up on these do take some time, longer than a traditional inline or v-shaped engine. Sounds like you’re on the right path 🤙🏽

@@shift__robinson sweet good to know 🙌 is it like a rule to have a oil change at 1,000 miles? i'm not sure if the dealer would make it a big deal

@@zuhlera For sure 🙌🏽 During the break in period its normal for the engine to have more metal shavings than usual. Its a precaution to get it out of your engine by starting fresh. Most of the break in happens early. Most crucial is in the first 20-50 miles, than the next few hundred solidifies that pace you began with, then the remainder to 1k is added precaution. Your dealership shouldn’t have an issue, assuming they understand the process.

@@joekagerer Thank you! Congratulations to you as well 🎉 It’s a lot of fun to drive.

@@jaron95 No way! Which one were you? 👀

@@invertedv12powerhouse77 That’s 💯% accurate. Thank you for elaborating. Most of these items are just band aids really. I’m very curious for a large capacity oil pan as I’m hopeful that will be enough excess to keep in the pan while oil elsewhere is returning. I appreciate your input 🙌🏽

@@KernelFault Glad to hear you’ll be using an Accusump kit soon. You’re correct, I got the verbiage mixed up. Thanks for clarifying. I can see how it could be beneficial for daily driving, especially during cold weather start ups. The simple answer to the RTV cause is during assembly it was applied in excess to where extra bits inside the pan after being sandwiched together would break off over time. More than likely assembled by robots where calibrations may have been off. The solution is to use significantly less RTV. I don’t believe Subaru uses an independent gasket in between the pan and block, just the sealant. While the pan is down and excess RTV is removed, some people install screens on the oil pick up tube to block it out. There are Subaru specialty shops that are very familiar and have the process down, while installing baffles and/or larger capacity pans. Sponsored or not, that was great information 🙂 Thank you for sharing!

@@warrenlucier5796 Great information and thank you for sharing! I’ve learned that when these engines are boosted, the problem of oil starvation only exaggerates. The oil return isn’t where it should be, and once it surpasses the 300hp + range, that’s when it becomes dangerous under these track conditions. Porsche and others you mentioned learned the benefits of dry sump oiling systems years ago. I think as a collective, we’re getting closer to a practical solution, hopefully in the near future. I’ll drop this article here that shares what GR Cup is doing with their spec cars: 900brz.com/posts/gr-cup-reliability?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2LfFRidNQvk2WJ7nHtHxrF1rjdoCijAP52k0sTP2mKGRMTNZwtYCIjbDU_aem_jxaw2nR7d7yq2LRamNYfEg

@@shift__robinson Found that quite interesting. They may be required to use the factory oil sump by rules, but I find the baffle to be helpful if this requirement is in fact correct. If rules would allow a different header design to give more room in the area of the sump, then a truncated, baffled, higher capacity design would potentially alleviate the oil starvation. May need to run additional drains from the heads with de-aeration chambers. like Porsche and others do. There are other thing to help with oil control, but the one I mention is the 1st one to do.

@@warrenlucier5796 I believe it is part of their requirements. I’m keeping an eye out for Verus Engineering’s prototype large capacity baffled oil pan for the FA24, it seems very promising. If you’d like to check it out: ruclips.net/video/kVEpMu6YHeo/видео.htmlsi=UFCMVxPSfypOnAxN

@@emerinomarchetti6456 Thank you! It was a factory service manual by Subaru Japan translated to English that I found online years ago. Although, there are plenty of articles with data to support the applications of viscosity & temperatures. The beauty of it is, no matter what engine it is, the information of oil analysis applies to all. Dealerships unfortunately are not a reliable source, they vary as they are a franchised business. Also, the knowledge they understand and learn about service, is a very different application from motorsports. It’s hard to find raw data and practical application in the same spaces. I would recommend looking at this article as it helps paint a picture as to what GR Cup does for their spec race cars on these factory engines: 900brz.com/posts/gr-cup-reliability?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2LfFRidNQvk2WJ7nHtHxrF1rjdoCijAP52k0sTP2mKGRMTNZwtYCIjbDU_aem_jxaw2nR7d7yq2LRamNYfEg

@@bertkirk3550 🫡

@@bertkirk3550 I appreciate it! I hope to reach that point into the future 🙂

@@jay18394 Agreed 👍🏽 I’ve watched it and it’s a well informed video. I appreciate that they had a piece of the short block to show. I referenced them among others that have and continue to pull track data on the topic, along with being test mules for prototype oil pans. GR Cup would be the most extreme and extensive among them as they found that a robust cooling system is necessary, but it takes the proper balance between components to get it right. Keep in mind, they’re required to run factory sealed engines in spec race cars and must work with what they’re given.

@@shift__robinson ah didn't see the reference. I totally agree with you, and the GR Cup people are definitely smarter than me and probably did a lot of research to come to that conclusion. However, I think their use case is different from 80% of the people taking their twins to the track. The GR Cup cars run 10/10th every lap for 60 minutes every race. My local track day sessions are 20 minutes long, spread through the day. I can thermally manage a 20 minute session so the oil temp doesn't go above 240 F, especially with one cool down lap in the middle. In this case, I would want higher oil pressure with less flow interference as temp is less of an issue. If you are running 60 minute sessions full out, which is pretty rare for casual track days, I think getting an oil cooler is a no brainer.

@@jay18394 No problem. I’m sure when you combine a team of bright minds, you can find nearly any solution. Despite being a 2 year old series, they have yet to blow an engine outside of user error. I think your environment and driving conditions can play a vital role in whether an oil cooler is necessary for your application. Out in California where I live, the tracks in the desert climates can get up to some high heat, where having to manage temperatures would be a challenge.

@@thealternativefactor6694 As fun as that sounds, I think its plenty for the turns 😁

@@shift__robinson Agreed. I own a Miata NC2 2012. I was shocked when I did some aggressive test drive with the GR86. No doubt this is going to be my next and final car. I'm already shopping for supercharger and turbo kits ..😁

@@thealternativefactor6694 Those NC’s were overlooked for some time. They were much more capable than people gave them credit for. That would be a cool transition, you’ve already got the appreciation for light cars carrying momentum. Boost sounds like fun! I would imagine it’d be comparable to a boosted S-chassis 😃

@@ASHEHADEH2 I think you would enjoy it! 😃

Many RUclips auto channels describe these cars as the most fun to drive new car in the current market, at any price point. They are not wrong.

@@KernelFault I agree with them 💯! The formula is simple and it works. It reminds me of the earlier 90’s sports cars with the light weight, go kart like experience.

@@miguelm3676 You’re welcome! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽😃

@@Little_Skyz Congratulations on your purchase 🎉 Beautiful color! That peace of mind I have since getting it done has been worth it. I acquired 3 paint chips on the bumper under the first 1k miles, so I’m glad I didn’t wait any longer. You of all people will appreciate the protection 🙂

@@neildesai21 Great tip. By chance, do you know which of those brands to look out for?

@@pigletshut Yes, definitely! Since both are similar boxer engines, they also share those concerns.

@@ruturaj47 I agree. Doing the best with what’s available at least helps keep catastrophic failure from happening. I wouldn’t consider RTV clean up to be a waste of money. It still impedes flow at the pickup. It may not have happened yet (if at all) but in the off chance small bits circulate throughout the engine and may possibly clog an oil passage, that could lead to bigger issues. That’s a great point to bring up. Even though on this platform we are only naturally aspirated, for the boosted community hoping to see more than 300hp, oil return is a real design flaw from factory that leads to oiling issues at those power levels unfortunately.

@@shift__robinson definitely all of those steps help to some extent. I think if we look at the cost of cleaning RTV and factor in the chances and cost of repairs plus possible or not warranty coverage, mathematically RTV clean up would come out expensive, hence my words, waste of money. If one is putting bigger pan, definitely clean it up.

@@ruturaj47 I’d think it depends on the individual on whether it’s of value to them. Swapping the pan or adding a proper baffle would be best to do all at once. Some may just want to add an oil pick up screen, maybe not, but at least they have peace of mind.

@@shift__robinson let's look at this mathematically, if my engine blows on stock car, I am probably covered under warranty. Let's say I am not, the cost to replace engine is let's say 10k. Now the cost to clean RTV out of pick up tube let say is 200. So if chances of engine blowing up by RTV is more than 2% then it's wiser to clean it, if it's lower then not spending money on it is better. Cleaning RTV doesn't offer any other advantages like oil cooler does. I doubt RTV caused failure are even close to 0.5%.

@@ruturaj47 Your points are valid and are very reasonable and I understand what you’re saying. Whether I agree or not is irrelevant. This topic focuses on those that want the information and may or may not consider modifying or tracking their cars. Some may consider it worth the money, others may not. It’s not for me nor anyone else to say what is cost effective for what gives them peace of mind and/or scratches their itch.

@@grippgoat In some cases dry sumps can be driven by the crank, yes. However, the 911’s and GT variants are independent from the crank which is what I was referencing. Those cars are basically GT cars, built for the street as their technology transfer directly from their race cars.

@@jiewu1988 Happy to help 🫡

@@isaabuela Happy to hear that 🙌🏽 That’s a good transition, autocross to road course. Haha, what’s scaring you?

@@gyruss3239 Good to know 👍🏽 Thanks for sharing!

I see that kind of drop with just the factory oil to water cooler. I'm usually like 265 at full send, and 235 by the end of my cooldown lap. But I still need to get a real oil cooler.

@@grippgoat 💯! As that checkered flag waves, taking that time to do a proper cool down lap benefits all components of the car. Sometimes even after cool down, I see others pace slowly in the pit area just to get a little more cooling time.

@@AKidOnARoof314 My pleasure! The 1st gen may not suffer as much with oil pressure but at least you can apply much of it to the FA20. Sounds sick 🫡 which kit are you running?

@@shift__robinson running an edelbrock supercharger @10 lbs of boost, jackson racing oil cooler, radium oil catch cans, & PLM unequal length header. i love it to pieces lol

I will also add that the edelbrock e-force has 2 primary drawbacks. 1 being the coolant reservoir (plastic crap- leaked on me) got one fabricated from metal by my tuner as a replacement. #2 being the bypass valve replacement, it requires taking the entire supercharger off of the car every 40k miles

@@AKidOnARoof314 That’s a sweet setup! I bet she moves! Metal is always a good alternative when it comes to the coolant reservoir. Dang, every 40k? If it’s a weekend car, maybe it wouldn’t be as frequent. Can that bypass valve be upgraded?

@@AmberCalloway730 Glad it’s helpful 🙌🏽

@@DMA-i8w I’ve definitely seen articles in different spaces but yes, you’re correct. They want compression to be where it should be by a proper rpm sweep in a single gear. Some have done it on a dyno which in theory could work with a proper load.

As long as you don’t feel like a fish bowl in your car lol ooo I don’t think I’ve seen the GR sun shade before. Sounds cool 😎 Oh man, that breaks my heart. I’m sorry that they hit you 🥲 I took a road trip to NY for work and stayed out there for 2 weeks. The traffic driving and parking is wild, nothing like I’ve ever experienced. At least it wasn’t my own car but I opted for the multi level parking options like they have in Japan haha. I hope your deductible isn’t too expensive! Damn dude, that’s horrible. I’ve heard about dealership stories of how they treat it. Some washes they use jack up your car, or the porter doesn’t care if he drops a towel on the ground and keeps wiping 💔 They should pay for the repair, but take it somewhere else that actually will treat your car right.
