It'd have been awesome to have seen a built EJ22, EJ207, or even a 2.1L stroker build go into it, but I understand the EJ25 is a much better supported platform. Cant wait to see this thing come together!
New 2.3 the destroked motor is not new lol it’s 15 years old at least now. Maybe iag makes it but honestly it ain’t shit untill it has 4mm longer rods and 83mm stroker pistons. Then you have made an actual difference in ratios.
Crazy to hear you were in aviation. I start flight school jan 8th. Will be flying helis in 5 years. I drive a 2004 STi, like 500ish whp. Gives me hope that I can get my STi's engine to this point and go even further beyond for at least 700whp. Also seeing you with my OTHER dream car, the white FD?? Gives me so much motivation to work my ass off.
9:39 if you don’t want to struggle holding when assembling the rods, bolt the flywheel to the crank and set it upright. It gives you an awesome base when doing torquing
This was a very satisfying video to watch. Didn’t realize you were shooting for driving this on an actual track! Really stoked to see that content, been an avid sim racer for years and have always wanted to see you track some cars outside the drag strip. Let’s go!
Sick!! Love the content, I’m currently planing on moving to Hawaii and want to lift the subie what do you think the sti needs to be able to go off road?
I opted for tighter clearance on the rings so I don’t send this engine to the moon for power. Opened the bearings a bit for 20-50 and to experiment a little with using a dry sump
Here in the uk the 2.5s just dont hold when getting tracked at that power level, we learnt that over 10 years ago, the thinest part is the liners and too much movement from block, cracked liners and headgaskets go all the time at that power level when raced, the only block we use here is ej22 bored to a 2.35, reliable, torque and revs. Under 500flywheel the ej25 is a decent road car.
They shouldn’t be, after the blocks been bored and honed with the torque plate is should be fairly true. I’m sure there will be a small distortion but nothing that push measurements out of tolerance
Welp went up and looked at the '15 sti,it was a total basketcase,it needed suspension,all the bushings needed replaced and thinking it had a 207 block or something,looked underneath and found out it had U20 cylinder heads. Ended up looking at a '16 sti limited not to far from that dealership,and that one was so much cleaner and looked better overall,going back up in 2 weeks to hopefully sign the paperwork and drive it home
I can’t wait to build my engine so excited to see this engine build cause your car is gonna look so good. I’ve still got a ways to go came back from my deployment and my alt is bad 😢
That geared idler timing belt pulley that runs dry sump pump is the bearing that always fails first. I hope it doesn't add more load to the bearing and fail even sooner.
I don’t know if you’ve made your choice yet in terms of wheels for this build, but I’d highly recommend looking into Enkei NT03’s, they would look absolutely gorgeous on this car, plus they are just great wheels in general
Would you change iag aos street version when you do a engine swap with metal contamination? Changing all oil components but wondering if I should do that also
I'm thinking of building ej205 with a 2.1 stroker, shimless buckets, sti cams, valves, and spring. I'll try to keep a budget, but i want an ej205 oem+ spec build
Welp, this couldn't have come at a better time. Getting a new longblock and I love the ideas in this build so I'm gonna prob reference this for my build list
@Smeedia going with a rallispec longblock. Semi closed Type RA case halves and heads, but with some cosworth pistons, rallispec rods and some other fancy bits. Nothing too crazy, just wanting around 400whp
I’ve been watching you for like 6 years man no way you only have 150k subs. I know you love subies man, I do too they’re great and amazing cars. But honestly if you want to get more view do some basic shit everyone watches like something with a charger or hellcat but that shit is expensive. It’ll definitely get you more views you deserve a million atleast brotha
I hate to be a Negative Nancy but please don't use a screw impact driver to tighten the screws on that back cover. Blue Loctite and an apex in a 1/4 drive socket. 🤦♂ On a positive note, Looks good man! I have been using a friend's water blast cabinet. It does wonders for aluminum parts.
That difficult part with this one is finding an optimal clearance for a dry sump. From the couple people I’ve talked to .002-.003 on this is where I should target. I’m expecting some type of revision may be made later on though
It would cool to see some DirtFish laps or equivalent for real! also It would be fun to watch you start staging/tracking some of your builds or even have a dedicated! ✌👊
Oil weight and talking to a couple other people who have set up their engines for dry sumps. Wet sump is pretty standard for set up. But I was curious how a dry sump would effect the bearing clearances so changed things up a bit
Make sure to remove the batteries whenever you store that snappy! I know more than one person that had to have theirs repaired (out of warranty) because they leaked.
That's cool that you were QC in the aviation industry, not many people go into it. What made you want to leave the industry? I currently work on new Gulfstreams as a certified A&P.
Tbh management at aerospace companies are all asshats. Most of them are the six sigma people who have no idea how the manufacturing lines actually work and think they know best. I butted heads with alot of them whenever they’d try to make dumb changes
Again, proof, head studs are not needed for 500whp and below. Your previous build videos, along with, close help from Andy Williams in the u.k. , among other great people helped me make my successful first build.
Maaaaannnn you doing allllllll the stuufffff and allllllll the thingsssssss damn g unit,dry sump looks bad ass,the only thing more bling is the turbo beanie on the rx7❤
It really depends on what all needs to be done. For this we did a hot tank, bore/ bone with torque plates, close decking and up drill for 1/2” studs. I wanna say it was around $1500 or so for the machine work
I'm getting all the parts I need to rebuild my Ej22. I'm excited to get it started. Where can I get new pistons and crankshaft and valves at for my EJ22? I'm not trying to do anything crazy, I just want it to run for a long time as my daily driver.
What was that company that does the oil filter housing screws again? I got an oil cooler kit for my VQ awhile ago but the adapter screw they sent is no bueno... apparently awd VQs have a different oiling system than rwd VQs (I know the pans are different but...)? The Mocal adapter is basically the opposite of what will fit in my block.
7:59 - one time the Snap-on man pissed me off with a torque wrench issue i had. He laughed in my face and didn't help with a solution... I found out who makes the torque wrenches for Snap-on and i bought the whole set 1/4", 3/8” and 1/2" drive for less than the cost of one 1/2” drive torque wrench! Anger gets shit done. 😎
Tanner, can you explain how you decided your piston ring end gap amount? Is that what Manley suggests for those piston rings and horsepower? Sounds like it depends on what material the top piston ring is made out of? I've seen a few people pushing (0.020 top) and 0.025 second but with 1000 hp+ builds.
Cylinder pressure (aka boost) will be a big factor. Personally I set mine a little tighter on this engine so I do not send it to the moon like I do in most of my engines. Could I anyway, yes but the gaps a bit tight for higher boost levels. There is a formula you can use to capture a rough range for where you should gap the rings to
We are really excited to see your results with the RCM Dry Sump. Keep up the awesome work Tanner!
Appreciate the support guys and will definitely be giving you a call for some pointers when it comes to set up!
Happy to see you building every subaru owner dream engine 👌🏻
This is thee one 🤌
i heard anti lag in this one, smiles and excitement are in the air
Real fresh air antilag 🤌
I've been waiting for my RCM dry sump for my 1200whp sti being built by Turn in concepts. Block will be billet.
Big money in a billet block 🔥
It'd have been awesome to have seen a built EJ22, EJ207, or even a 2.1L stroker build go into it, but I understand the EJ25 is a much better supported platform. Cant wait to see this thing come together!
I have a couple 207s but I have SO much EJ25 stuff it just made sense to use it 😅
What about the new 2.3 from iag
@@matthewmaca6675was cheaper for me to build a 25 vs buying one of their engines
New 2.3 the destroked motor is not new lol it’s 15 years old at least now. Maybe iag makes it but honestly it ain’t shit untill it has 4mm longer rods and 83mm stroker pistons. Then you have made an actual difference in ratios.
If I always caress my ej25 does it then become a stroker build?
Absolutely beautiful. He did it again!!!
🥳🥳🥳
Been following you for a while now, impressive stuff you do! Love from Norway🎉
Appreciate the support my mans 🥳
Building bulletproof aka dry sump video. Love it as always
Very nice work.. great explanations 💯
Thank you 🙏
You're honestly the best channel!

Don't forget the what nots too! @@Smeedia
So excited for how this will end up.i love RCM products. Just ordered RCM header for my brz
Didn’t even know they made BRZ stuff! 🔥
can’t wait to see the 2.5rs running!

It’s not just Tanner it’s Talent!
It’s art 🤌
Amazing work 👏 what turbo setup you planning to run on this build ?
Prob going to use a G30-770 on this one 🫡
cant wait for more of the 6 cylinder, that has been such a journey
That car is my flame as I am the moth
I got goose bumps watching that dry sump bolt on 🖤👌

It's interesting to hear that you were in aviation, I'm also in aviation with GE aerospace and am currently driving a 2018 50th anniversary WRX.
I flew drones for 5 years and worked in QC. Definitely one of my favorite fields 🔥
Yes! T, building it to perfection 👌🏼
As perfect as we can make it 🤌
Man watching this makes me want to install all these parts I have for my car :(.
Love to see all that RCM goodness ... delicioso!
RCM stuff is just 🤌🤌🤌
I don't even own a Subie but I loves these types of videos. Lots of knowledge dropped
The supports always appreciated 🫶
Gonna use this EXACT recipe in my future when my IAG stage 2.5 closed deck blows up. Thank you
Sick!! Love the content,
I’m currently planing on moving to Hawaii and want to lift the subie what do you think the sti needs to be able to go off road?
Skid plates would. It be a bad idea. Aside from that I’d just lift it and send it
Thanks
Here he is again, the Michael Angelo of engine building. :)
🤌🤌🤌
Giving her some space to breathe!!!! It's amazing how starved the factory clearances are at the bearings.
This is kinda a test engine for me, I’ve never set up a short block for a dry sump. I’ll be using 20-50 so this one’s a learning engine 😂
Thank you Tanner.
Excited to see it running! why use the tighter clearances? I'm planning on building an ej25 what clearances do you suggest?
I opted for tighter clearance on the rings so I don’t send this engine to the moon for power. Opened the bearings a bit for 20-50 and to experiment a little with using a dry sump
The an breather adapters are a victory for sure. Damn good idea
Definitely a nice little addition to add in 🤌

“Look how fucking cute that is!” 😂😂😂 lost it
😂😂 bro it is cute 😂
Dude that looks so wicked. This is gonna be such an intense setup.
I finally got my heads to the shop last week. Rebuild in 2-3 weeks now!
Eyyyy moving right along! 🥳
I need me a build engine like that for my sti,hopefully someday...nice build and awesome video as always
Thank you 🥳 can always order parts here and there over time and save em up until your ready
Just ... beautiful
Be good to see you flying around the track in this 22-beast🤙
Woo! That is so very cool! Good news also!
Wont your ring gap be tighter without using a torque plate when you took your measurements?
They shouldn’t be, after the blocks been bored and honed with the torque plate is should be fairly true. I’m sure there will be a small distortion but nothing that push measurements out of tolerance
Ok, I don't know if I missed you talking about it in the past but where did you do QC in aviation? And this looks like it's going to be awesome!
I worked for some sub contractors for Boeing running a CMM and doing GD&T inspection. Mainly final inspection for a most of it 🫡
@ cool man! ❤️
That dry sump is GUCCI 🤤🤤🤤
As always a terrific video.

Tbh sounds like an EJ20X or Y that someone swapped in. Super common for people to do when offloading these cars. Fingers crossed for ya on the 16!
@@Smeedia and honestly its only gonna be 22.5k so its a decent deal,just gotta get better at driving stick but thats completely on me lol
I can’t wait to build my engine so excited to see this engine build cause your car is gonna look so good. I’ve still got a ways to go came back from my deployment and my alt is bad 😢
This is one of the episodes that I was waiting for :)
Engine building is one of my favs 🤌
Looks like it's really coming along now.
Coming along quick! Wish we had our heads ready to go 😅
Do you think the oil filter was tight enough? 💪🏼
I can go tighter 😂
That geared idler timing belt pulley that runs dry sump pump is the bearing that always fails first. I hope it doesn't add more load to the bearing and fail even sooner.
Going to have to keep an eye on it 🧐
that thing looks sick 😨

Solid type of build right there. It’s hard to budget when it comes to the engine. We always want top notch stuff.
Question, why no light oil on the con rod bolts before torqueing ?
They get coated in 5W30 before torquing
Welp, this couldn't have come at a better time. Getting a new longblock and I love the ideas in this build so I'm gonna prob reference this for my build list

Bead blasting and water blasting is magical with how parts turn out!
I’ve always used an impact driver on them, why wouldn’t you?
@@Smeedia You might over tighten them. They only need about 56 in/lbs. I would be worried about being over tight and damaging the threads.
That looks amazing 🎉
Thank you🥳🥳🥳
Amazing on the progress
None of the aftermarket cranks are any good?
Not needed for this power level. Stock crank works more than fine 👌
Set the mains .0015 and the rod .002 perfect cuz the block expands and makes them bigger naturally but the rods are the ticket lol.
That difficult part with this one is finding an optimal clearance for a dry sump. From the couple people I’ve talked to .002-.003 on this is where I should target. I’m expecting some type of revision may be made later on though
Ya with a dry sump you should be totally fine.
Love the build🔥
Things coming out so nice 🥵
@ one of these days I’ll be able to build an engine for my STI like this. 🥹
Sheesh 600+
Sprocket rocket 🚀 😂
Which exhaust are goimg with?
I’ll prob make an exhaust for it. I doing think they make swapped exhausts 😅
@@Smeedia ouch. The classic Invidia is a no go then?
It would cool to see some DirtFish laps or equivalent for real! also It would be fun to watch you start staging/tracking some of your builds or even have a dedicated! ✌👊
That’s the goal, I wanted to use the 27 STI more for that but it just became a pain and I got tiered of fixing the little stuff over and over again 😂
.015/.018 gaps a little sporty, better not get it hot or lean or both :)
Kept it a little tighter so I don’t get any bright ideas on the dyno to send it farther 😂 thing will also be living on E85
yeah man this is job 👍💪
Thanks buddy 🫡
How did you determine what you want your bearing clearance to be?

If you're gonna track it pls get it PPF'd in the front
Probably will have a companies do that for me 😅
Make sure to remove the batteries whenever you store that snappy! I know more than one person that had to have theirs repaired (out of warranty) because they leaked.
Good to know! Will definitely do so if it’s stored for long term 🫡
Good luck! Looks like a badass build. I’m curious as how those tight ring gaps will play out during track use.

Hey how much does the machine work cost?
It really depends on what all needs to be done. For this we did a hot tank, bore/ bone with torque plates, close decking and up drill for 1/2” studs. I wanna say it was around $1500 or so for the machine work
I'm pretty sure you're gonna have to take that dry sump belt back off to get the timing belt on...
He will, but its just part of the build process. Sometimes you just can't wait to see some cool shit slapped on. Its like motivation. 😂
That’s a problem for later 😂
