Ideally you should have drained the oil, removed the sump, drilled your hole then welded a boss onto the sump. The way you have done it means that the thread on the brass hose tail is only gripping on about 2mm of metal. Also the teflon tape that was on that fitting is now going to be floating around in the oil, I suggest using Loctite 577 or similar, teflon tape is not the right sealant to use in engines. This is not hate, just advice from an automotive engineer.
Jamie Maskens I had to end up changing that setup anyway because it was leaking, I just ended up jb welding the fitting in the oilpan and it ceased to leak. Also I drained the oil and ran some more oil through it to clean it out, it should be good now!
Dude I’ve got an 07 non turbo hawkeye with the head gasket redone by the subieguy in richmond va. I love this car. Only negatives so far: LEDs died behind odometer, cd changer is jammed with my fav cds inside. I’m about to put black widow muffler on it
@@pcrb141 you’re not gonna believe this... somehow one of the lights behing the odom came back. 😳 and it wasn’t just the dimmer/adjustment - i mean it was 100% dark behind the odom but one lil led was hangin in on the other side.... then somehow one behind odom came back on. My cds are still stuck though. That thing stays trying to unjam but it cant. Ima have to rip it out. Also, somehow moisture is getting in the trunk and/or under the rear windshield when it rains
@@RedPillVegan that's good news about the gage lights! No one is making aftermarket gauges for that model.

For the oil pressure sensor T-fitting, it's actually not a US imperial 1/8-NPT, but rather a BSPT (B for british, which is the same standard used on european and japanese cars) thread that you need for correct install. The imperial fitting has different number of thread per inch (27 instead of 28), so it might leak oil a little.
I really hope you guys like this series, I have had a lot of fun making it. If you are just here for the motorcycle builds, don't worry, there will be more of those videos as well!!
Did the uel headers you bought compensate for the n/a engine cradle? I have a n/a 2006 legacy and one of the main reasons why I’m putting in a tribeca engine instead of a legacy gt engine in is the engine cradle is in the way of the uppipe also cost
Can we get an update on the wagon I’ve been using your videos to boost mine it’s actually the same color I’m just trying to make sure I make it last and reliability is key
I liked how you made this a tutorial -like video, however, If I may add something, for the Oil drain/return tapping. Drain the oil, remove the oil pan, and then drill, tap, and screw in the fitting. This will minimize ANY shavings straggling in there, and possibly getting picked up by the oil pressure, and travelling through your engine.... jut my 2 cents ;)
Ej 20s (the engine here) can be boosted to 300whp on stock internals as they are essentially detuned performance motors. The only things you need to turbo them are anything involved in a turbo kit and that's it
Where’s the header install vid? I’m interested because it looks like you used a reverse direction turbo header set to avoid having to pull the engine and swap crossmembers
since he removed the stock intake manifold and made his own inlet pipe with the hoses what happened to the open hole that the old intake manifold went into?
I got mine from my local automotive shop like repco here in Australia and had them pull out a subie oil sensor they have in store that fits my subie than find the right fitting for it
Those ports you added between the throttle body and filter will not actually have vacuum. They will draw enough air for the PVC system but not for the vacuum assisted brakes.
I figured that out the hard way lol, no i didnt crash into something but yeah i had to do a workaround for the vacuum systems. That will be in my first drive video which will be out in a few days. Stay tuned man!
I wanna turbo my jetta. But this looks like so much work. I know me and some friends could do it but I can’t find any headers or doe pipes for my car so if I’ll be able to😔
Hey I am curious as the the reliability afterwards and total cost? I have a 2011 imprezza and I am considering getting an ebay charger myself but I wasnt sure if the juice is worth the squeeze
Prolly mak 180-200 on stock ecu ( considering subies have good torque I would suggest a lil larger turbo at low boost. Stock ecu will compensate for 10 psi tops and make sure u spend the extra on good intercooler piping, oil feed and return ( good fitting make all the difference) and when u drill oil pan please take off car completely use some sort or locking agent in bung Atleast
I think that's a little high mileage for 4k personally. If it's in good shape and you are okay doing some maintenance on it if you have to then go for it.
Over all it is a nice video, and this is helping me out a ton but i saw you changed the fuel pump have you also changed the injectors and what are you using for a tune on the car atm ?
Ive got a 2004 2.5rs. Wondering if it would be more efficient to try and do all this to my current engine, or just buy a new wrx engine and swap. Somewhat new to working under the hood..i know the basics but no doubt there are things im not thinking about when it comes to making the right decision. Any input is appreciated.
You have to find your own parts, all the ones I bought are no longer on eBay. Most of the stuff I used was either universal or for the same year wrx version and it required some modifications to fit. Good luck!
GoldGuy thanks so much for the reply dude. That’s good to hear. Buddy of mine just got a 07 impreza he wants to turbo also, mines a 2.2l dual port. Anyway, great work!

what everyone else does in the NA/T subaru forums is do this into the valve covers its easier and since its alummin it screws right in
I was going to say something similar. Thanks for pointing that out.
School of automotive engineering?
Would this be the concept for a 07 forester engine
5:24 “that’s pretty damn tight” **whole gd thing shakes**
Dude I waited for that spot and laughed out loud when it happened. 😂😂
Electrical, Duct, or Teflon tape. It's all good!!! I won't judge...Done the same! Major Props on the install!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks very much man! I just bought an impreza and was curious, and you made it actually look doable.
GRRReat editing! Orderly clear details. Entertaining, great humor.
Let's turbocharge a car and keep a stock tune....Boom!
Your determination is crazy man, props! I personally dont have the patience and I would just swap it with a stock wrx motor from like 04 or 05
It’s not by choice I bet trust me 😂
KUDOS TO THAT!!!!!
The problem w going to a different Subaru is that there is a chance that it comes rusted
love it thank you for this series bro
Thank you for the step by step guide to how you worked on this. Great camera work too
Is there a video of you doing the exhaust? I cant find it. And its not in description.
Here it is!
ruclips.net/video/U37-tbsMYWI/видео.html
he made this look effortless
You should of took the hole stump out and got that fitting welded on
I’m stuck at the vacuum lines for inlet pipe how I route them where they come from ,is confusing in the video the vacuum part
You could have drained the oil first, remove the oil pan, then on a workbench drill the hole, tap the thread, then MIG or TIG Weld that on.
I really hope you guys like this series, I have had a lot of fun making it. If you are just here for the motorcycle builds, don't worry, there will be more of those videos as well!!
It's awesome! please keep on uploading more contents about the Subaru
Man you give me the inspiration to turbo my blobeye n/a wagon-scooby!! Sure will be a badass scooby!😎😎
Awesome vid! Thanks for sharing the process
if the oil pan starts leaking take if off to someone let them tig a bung in place for the oil return.
Did the uel headers you bought compensate for the n/a engine cradle? I have a n/a 2006 legacy and one of the main reasons why I’m putting in a tribeca engine instead of a legacy gt engine in is the engine cradle is in the way of the uppipe also cost
I think we are almost the same person...vintage bikes and Subaru’s😂😂
Taylor Pritchard same lmaoo
Just SPRINKLE in some crazy Porsche owners
I want to do this to my 2014 legacy…
I wish they sold STI conversion kits from Japan.
So how is it still going strong I need this done
Can we get an update on the wagon I’ve been using your videos to boost mine it’s actually the same color I’m just trying to make sure I make it last and reliability is key
Dear friend, do you think this is the same process for my Subaru Baja Sport 2005 to build it Turbo?
This just makes you wonder if it would be less troublesome and cheaper to do a swap. I’m confused why you didn’t use steel braided lines.
I have all of the parts for this install, i just cant figure out the size or threads for the oil pressure sensor tee
I liked how you made this a tutorial -like video, however, If I may add something, for the Oil drain/return tapping. Drain the oil, remove the oil pan, and then drill, tap, and screw in the fitting.

I screamed "Noooo" when I noticed that lol
I was just curious how the turbo was installed. I was not expecting this many thing to be needed done to the car.
Ej 20s (the engine here) can be boosted to 300whp on stock internals as they are essentially detuned performance motors. The only things you need to turbo them are anything involved in a turbo kit and that's it
Is that engine the same one that’s in the 2010 Subaru Forster non turbo
Now that it's been a while any updates?
Howd this thing hold up 😬
:D it was super fun to watch you :D
Where’s the header install vid? I’m interested because it looks like you used a reverse direction turbo header set to avoid having to pull the engine and swap crossmembers
r.i.p. lil subie. str8 butchery
So, you just slapped a turbo on and no injectors, fuel pump, tuning? How in the hell did it even run under boost without blowing up?
since he removed the stock intake manifold and made his own inlet pipe with the hoses what happened to the open hole that the old intake manifold went into?
by the open hole you mean the throttle body? that is where the hose coming from the intercooler going to be
Can I install a turbo charger in my toyota corolla 1.6 132hp?
yes
Damn man, that is quite the undertaking
GETUP AND GO you are telling me!! Took me over a month
@@GoldGuyRides LOL! That's pretty fast! Good job!
After five years how is it? Maperformance said not to do this build because the head can not handle boost
The first start video will be uploaded tomorrow, Stay tuned!!
Did you manage to fit the uppipe around the stock cross member?
Is there a video of you doing the vacuum lines? I’m not sure which line I’m suppose to be teeing off
Did you find out?im trying to understand too😥
Nope never did
How would I be able to do it for a 2011 Subaru Legacy 2.5i
tengo mi primer subaru impreza N/A y gracias a ti puedo hacerlo yo mismos-, obvio la repor no ;)
Diid you forged the engine?
Gold guy where can I get the fitting you used for the oil pressure sensor to run the oil feed I’ve looked all over and have been unable to find one
I got mine from my local automotive shop like repco here in Australia and had them pull out a subie oil sensor they have in store that fits my subie than find the right fitting for it
Hey, whats like the name for that oil pressure sensor piggy back plug??? and what size was it again? Thanks!
have you ever had reliability issues after installing the turbo?
Those ports you added between the throttle body and filter will not actually have vacuum. They will draw enough air for the PVC system but not for the vacuum assisted brakes.
I figured that out the hard way lol, no i didnt crash into something but yeah i had to do a workaround for the vacuum systems. That will be in my first drive video which will be out in a few days. Stay tuned man!
I have a 03 impreza rx wagon.. was thinking of a trans swap, manual swap and turbo charging but its a flat4 engine would it be worth it
What ecu are you using?
will this work with my 2002 impreza rs? it has a 2.5 engine aswell
@@LuciJah420 yes
This is just like Robbie ferrieras subie
I wanna turbo my jetta. But this looks like so much work. I know me and some friends could do it but I can’t find any headers or doe pipes for my car so if I’ll be able to😔
How much horsepower before and how much horse power after
What is your engine type do you have in your car mate
would this turbo fit a 1999 subaru forester
Just a heads up but that maf is backwards. It might be giving you some trouble. Looks good though, I'll be waiting for the next video.
whyausername3 I figured that out in the next video lol, it will be out today!!
Well done!!! And Non interference too
I have impreza gh2 EL15 engine. Put in turbo??? yes or no. But why
You definitely knew what you were doing.

Can you give me link where i can get piping bro
This an ej255 or ej253?
"That was bound to happen"😂😂😂😂
why did i find it funny when he said let’s take the lunch boxes out😂
Hi , nice work
I have a question
How many bar (PSi) in thits Turbo
Did those clamps for the oil blow off?
Nope
How many miles did you buy it at? And what’s it at now? I’m looking at a 2007 imprezy with 156K miles with only 1 owner for 4K. Worth it???
I think that's a little high mileage for 4k personally. If it's in good shape and you are okay doing some maintenance on it if you have to then go for it.
The link doesnt work. What is the name of the turbo so i can find it?
Td05 20g
Hey man, cool playlist you had there and since I'm doing the same for my subi, was wondering what are the threads on that oil sensor/feed line tee?
Did you find out?
how did you get he headers to clean the water pump ?
@GoldGuy how much was everything total
Probably about $600
I have a 2018 legacy 2.5i sport. Can I turbo charge it? If so where would I go about doing that?
Not car savvy at all btw lol
NA/T Subaru on Facebook is the best group
I once build one on a 4stroke kymco scooter, you can turbo everything.
Is your car awd? I am want to turbo my 2003 Subaru Outback 2.5L but it is awd and I am not sure if it will work.
You it's awd, you can definitely turbocharge an AWD car.
GoldGuy I ended up making my own up pipe using the stock manifold to avoid cutting the sub frame.
How much horse power do you have now? What kind of gas do you use since you added the turbo?
The same gas as before offcourse.
@@peggywouters2867 once you put a turbo on dont you have to use premium fuel?
@@chincheckers1525 no
if the sensor on the air intake doesnt seal propperly ur gonna have issues with the car revving way to high
Fell right into the oil. Ah I was dead. Doesn’t that shiii always happen?
Been there, done that!!!! It's called brake cleaner! :)
Over all it is a nice video, and this is helping me out a ton but i saw you changed the fuel pump have you also changed the injectors and what are you using for a tune on the car atm ?

Did ya end up doing it? In the same boat as you
1 yr later, now I am also in this boat 😂
Seeing this video i now know why everyone says turbo'd subarus blow up
i have a 1.5r and i think i made that. whats your cars cc? 1.5r or 2.0r?
2.5
Part links? Im looking to do the same build
You have to find your own parts, all the ones I bought are no longer on eBay. Most of the stuff I used was either universal or for the same year wrx version and it required some modifications to fit. Good luck!
I feel like just buying and bolting a turbo kit to my Subaru wont work because I thought you have to put a decompression kit in the engine first
Only if you want to run boost levels higher than 8psi
I'm only running 5psi
Uhh what did you use as an intercooler?
did you have to swap water pumps? or did the new headers clear?
The new headers cleared.
GoldGuy thanks so much for the reply dude. That’s good to hear. Buddy of mine just got a 07 impreza he wants to turbo also, mines a 2.2l dual port. Anyway, great work!
What engine do you have?
The Hawkeye is a very sexual design, one of the best body styles ever imo
do you have a link for all of the brass fittings?
Haha
Is this the 1.5r impreza
2.5
did he just put his airflow sensor on backwards XD
What kit did you buy?
I didn't buy a kit, I bough all the parts seperately! Check out my other videos in this series
Hanging on the edge of this cliff so hard...
Very good job where is your based please
Tune for this car please?
I gotta give the guy props for determination. A proper budget build, but that intake pipe makes me cringe.
What size thread for the oil pressure sensor T
Jacob Allen 1/8 npt
great vid. do you have to go with a frnt mount or will the top mount work as well?
Can u find all the brass fittings on eBay for me bro
