So cool Rally crew chief here: These engines have a real issue with a few things. PCV should be scavenged through a catch can via the exhaust as a venturi. The computer sees the PCV as fuel (O2 sensor) under boost and leans out accordingly and or pulls timing when it gets knock from becoming lean Cylinder 4 has poor cooling and can have predet because of this. There are fixes made by several companies The turbo inlet pipe should be replaced as it is prone to tearing and any post MAF leaks will cause headaches The knock sensor should be replaced and sprayed with a dielectric layer (they all crack and suffer from moister intrusion) Coil packs are important and have a shelf life of about 60k kilometers Oil pickup/baffling is an important for rally along with a skid plate reinforced under oil pan but actual tarmac racing will require a dry sump system. The up pipe, header flex pipe and flanges are all prone to leaking and should be replaced and flat faced. The TGV valves can be removed internally to avoid issues. The stock top mount intercooler should have heat shielding on the turbo side and a chimney set up to direct air from the hood scoop to the turbo to push hot air under the car. The rear of the hood should be spaced to allow excess hot air to escape when racing to avoid massive under hood temperatures. The rear differential outrigger arms need a "cushion" installed as a shim abover the outboard mounts to avoid clunking (truck mud flaps cut into circles work) So many more things important to racing but who knows what direction you guys are going with this. Good luck.
As rally codriver/driver as well as sf5 owner and mechanic by hobby, 100% on this... On other note often overlooked when using subaru in rally/motorsport application: TUNER! There is differences between dyno queen tuner chasing beautiful grapgh and big power... Then there is proper tuner knew how to make the engine last whole rally season...
@@AmirPomengreat note, I couldn't agree more. Not so much for performance as for longevity. Making it to the last stage is how a podium finish happens. We prefer road tunes vs dyno queen tunes.

I have a renewed love for YT and it's thanks to you guys, keep doing what you are doing this is history in the making for the viewers in the future who decide "You know what, I can tackle that project" thanks to Davin and the team.
I realise that it must come as a big surprise but there are other engines other than a small block Chev. They are not weird, they are just not what you are used to seeing, and that makes them different, not weird. The Subaru boxer engine, in all it's variations, is incredibly successful and versatile. I hope you enjoy doing what ever you are going to do with it.
you guys should inspect the rear suspension top hat/strut top mounts and arches around there. in canada, those are very notorious for rusting out on an otherwise decent looking vehicle..
I believe Davin stated this car had 300k on it and I don't know how many Michigan winters, frankly I thought the undercarraige would mostly be a collection of air spaces held together by wishful thinking Coukd be worse, we've all seen it.
Love watching your videos. I used to be able to rebuild straight 6’s and flathead V8’s (yes I’m old). Never tried a newer engine and not sure I could do it. You make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome, I am working on a Subaru Legacy right now. The original owner had the timing belt break. I am in the process right now of over-hauling a junk yard engine to put in it. Its an Arizona car and completely rust free.
Fun to see Davin get into the Subaru! See it's not as hard as it look! It all comes apart as little sub-assemblies. That intake will come off with almost all the fuel, vacuum, and sensors as one unit. You'll be down to a long block in no time.
Never seen a Subaru motor pulled this way haha! They’re surprisingly easy to yank out from above, since the bell housing is in the middle of the engine bay and just about all the hoses and lines come off with the intake manifold. Can’t wait to see how weirded-out Davin gets once this thing’s apart lol
I love watching your rebuild projects, but this one is especially sweet. We have a non-WRX blob eye of similar vintage, and I've become a big fan of the marque since I've been driving it (girlfriend's car), so it's going to be quite cool watching you tear down that boxer engine and rebuild it.
A few years ago I bought a beater '97 Outback to play with. It had multiple issues and was already mechanically totalled, but I got a good year and a half of fun out of it. I see the attraction. The top mechanical issues, BTW, were a dead clutch pack, weird noises from the transmission in reverse, and no service history on the head gaskets.
I loved this video, the Subaru Impreza WRX is amazin' and I love this car, I never saw how remove the engine, I hope watch the rebuild of this engine soon
Davin I will add to the Rock auto tip to dip the end of the fastener in a little oil before putting it back. Especially when dealing with rusty M 6's. Great use for that little bit of oil in the bottom of the oil bottle.
This is easily my favorite body style of WRX in my favorite color! I'm not a fan of those wheels, at least in black, but I like the rest of it! It's a great starting point.
what'sapp-line+ with Hagerty's Icon or whatever it's called. Smells fishy to me. Two other channels I watch have had issues with scammers pretending to be them. Could this be another example?
So, what was the purpose of pulling the whole subframe assembly? Are you replacing it too? I only ask because I usually just yank it out from the top for rebuilds. I typically get it done in about an hour that way, but you seem to have bigger plans. I gotta say though, I'm really excited to see this channel take on a Subie. It definitely caught me by surprise. It's definitely out of the norm for you guys. I think the closest I've seen on this channel was the Beetle. That was also worth the watch. I can't wait to see the progress on this. Keep up the good work!!!
Yes, I saw all the rust, but he also said he broke a couple bolts he had no intention on replacing. So, now I'm confused because he'd only be snapping bolts from the subframe to the unibody. There's only two nuts holding the engine to the subframe and those usually come right out. And the way he beat on the car early on makes me think the rest of the car was going to scrap. Either way, his process was interesting to watch.
@@michaelmaas5544 that's what's confusing. That's an awful lot of work...just to pull the engine. Especially when they come out through the top hella easy. I saw he pulled the trans too, so, maybe they're restoring both. Idk. Just seems like more work than necessary and makes for entertainment.
As for the Red Annodized Pulley on the crank if it also has lightweight flywheel then its a very much worth it mod as the pulley is cheap and flywheel not so bad. But the Engine revs upto that 7,000 rpm almost half the time (or about 35-45% reduction in Wind out time depending on how light the flywheel is) Majorly improves Throttle response and drivability and also performance as the engine revs out much faster just doing this mod alone takes more than 1sec of 0-60mph times
That rusted “subframe” is actually a US spec piece for crash safety. They don’t sell it on them in the JDM market. If you don’t put one back on it’s a nice weight savings for the front end. Cheers.
Fun fact, you can mostly rebuild a Subaru Boxer engine with just a 10,14 & 17mm wrench/socket. They are actually very simple to work on once you get past the wierdness. Really looking forward to this build!
I don't know how far ahead the project is, but Subaru fans love their cars. Popular mods are JDM engine swaps and STi conversions. Even a six speed manual transmission is considered an upgrade. And, yeah, the frame rails and body needs much needed attention.
Careful with the machine work on the case halves if that needs to be done. They are really sensitive to shifting without proper torque plate setup and the bores and mainline can end up all over the place if done improperly.
Engine comes out the top mate. Not the bottom! Be sure to put a new turbo on it and some new headers - easy power gains and sounds way better - the OEM exhaust is crud and weighs a ton also. Have fun - your first JDM!
If this is your first metric engine, have fun not losing your 10mm tools. Everybody who works on modern cars likes to joke that when they need a 10mm tool the most, they can't find it. You might be able to locate a beefy subframe made of welded chromoly steel. They make great replacements for the stock stamped steel ones cars come with. Since you need one new subframe anyway, that's not so bad.
The casual mention of how bad the car is makes me wonder what this engine is going to be going into when it's finished. Then the seemingly random shot of a Beetle in the back ground shot at one point. These engines are often used in Beck Spyders and similar low production cars. I'm curious where this engine will be put after it's finished. Can't wait to see the series. I've never seen a Subaru engine taken apart.
yall flew the hood off and damaged it on purpose :( fasniating professional engine work. cool to see how you will replace the rusted parts in the future
Looking forward to this build. You guys should really consider putting the completed engine in a street-legal dune buggy/sand rail and lift the front tires leaving from every stoplight. It would definitely have the power.
I've loved this channel (and the services of the parent company) as long as it has existed on YT; Davin and Tom are tops! That said, this particular project can be summed up for me with a simple phrase: "a LOT more fun to drive than to work on". Will I continue to watch Davin anyways? Of course! - Ed on the Ridge
Have you wrenched on a Subaru? They're actually very easy to work on. He did it a bit the hard way, but good enough being that the subframe is getting refurbished too presumably.
Yeah I would be to thrilled at working on modern stuff either but every days a school day My guess is it's going to be some sort of cross cart when done considering how the body was treated
Having made the exact same journey from classic American cars, go slightly less classic American cars, to funky, older imports and then eventually hitting subarus, this is gonna be a fun one for y'all.
@@ricardoreis7298 I do understand why people love Subarus. I like them too. Just not a clapped out rust bucket example from CoPart that needed to go to the crusher. This one seems like a waste of Davin's time and effort. Maybe he will surprise me.
From a guy that works on Subaru 24/7 he took that engine the hardest way possible but this is what you expect from a guy that doesn't have knowledge about car. Todays lesson is, do research if you don't know
Nice job , Gents! always looking for Hagerty content especially for beater wrx's..... i'll try to makes sure i give mine the beans at least once a drive...
As someone who has owned a couple of Subaru's, I currently have a 2022 Outback, I'm happy to see you get out of your comfort zone on this build. Subie's are cool cars that are fun to drive, reliable and with all wheel drive go anywhere vehicles. Love the content!!
Clean it first for as someone use to say when I was in the military, "A clean shop is a happy shop and a happy shop is a clean shop." Plus who like having dirt in their eyes? Anyway from what I have heard Subaru's are built to last but I admit I have only owned one in my life and it was doing well until I went to Japan for a year as my cousins never moved it in LA and it got taken by the state and that was the last I ever herd of it.
My favorite part about putting the hardware back in the holes as you remove parts is getting a part almost all the way reinstalled before figuring out why it isn’t seating correctly, then realizing I forgot one bolt
You now have a more modern wobble plate. You can put it in the other wobble engined car. And send the blue car to scrap as that is all it is usefull for.
Stage rallying is relatively popular in Michigan, but I can't in my wildest dreams imagine Hagerty spending the money to make this legal for competition. Maybe gravel TSD Rally car for events like POR? Both these type of events are run on backroads like those in the intro. Easiest/quickest would probably be rallyx.
So cool
Rally crew chief here:
These engines have a real issue with a few things. PCV should be scavenged through a catch can via the exhaust as a venturi. The computer sees the PCV as fuel (O2 sensor) under boost and leans out accordingly and or pulls timing when it gets knock from becoming lean
Cylinder 4 has poor cooling and can have predet because of this. There are fixes made by several companies
The turbo inlet pipe should be replaced as it is prone to tearing and any post MAF leaks will cause headaches
The knock sensor should be replaced and sprayed with a dielectric layer (they all crack and suffer from moister intrusion)
Coil packs are important and have a shelf life of about 60k kilometers
Oil pickup/baffling is an important for rally along with a skid plate reinforced under oil pan but actual tarmac racing will require a dry sump system.
The up pipe, header flex pipe and flanges are all prone to leaking and should be replaced and flat faced.
The TGV valves can be removed internally to avoid issues.
The stock top mount intercooler should have heat shielding on the turbo side and a chimney set up to direct air from the hood scoop to the turbo to push hot air under the car.
The rear of the hood should be spaced to allow excess hot air to escape when racing to avoid massive under hood temperatures.
The rear differential outrigger arms need a "cushion" installed as a shim abover the outboard mounts to avoid clunking (truck mud flaps cut into circles work)
So many more things important to racing but who knows what direction you guys are going with this.

As a previous owner, I can't wait for this! I know what is coming and your educational reactions will be great as always.
Keep it up Davin.
I can’t wait till he gets to the wrist pins!
Awesome seeing Subaru content on here and love Davin’s commentary 😂Boxer engines are so weird if you’ve never touched one before!

Sorry, it's still a turd.
you guys should inspect the rear suspension top hat/strut top mounts and arches around there. in canada, those are very notorious for rusting out on an otherwise decent looking vehicle..
I don't think, I mean, I'm sure he won't put the engine back on this rusted POS.
I believe Davin stated this car had 300k on it and I don't know how many Michigan winters, frankly I thought the undercarraige would mostly be a collection of air spaces held together by wishful thinking
Coukd be worse, we've all seen it.
That WRX was hot in it's days. Serious performer and quick !
Love the good humor, and bravery to try something new. I love all things greasy and oily!
I like seeing someone who isn’t afraid of getting a little oil on their hands and drains oil without using rubber gloves. That always cracks me up.
Love watching your videos. I used to be able to rebuild straight 6’s and flathead V8’s (yes I’m old). Never tried a newer engine and not sure I could do it. You make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing.

Never dove into Subaru. My parents went from Toyota’s to Subaru. But WRX would be my choice. This will be interesting, thanks
These cars are a treat to work on.
Who’s idea was this anyway? I don’t have high hopes for this project but I did enjoy seeing that ‘assembly’ sitting on the table. Good luck!

He pointed out major rust on the subframe. Probably going to replace it would be my guess.
He showed in the beginning the subframe was so rusted he could put his hand inside it.

I like the Copart portion. Too many cars that need to be saved are salvaged and left for dead
Davin should watch a couple of Subi Performance vids to get an idea of what's to come 😉
This is going to be fun! What vehicle is this going into? I hope not the one it came out of...
Hell Yeah! I haven't followed a Redline Rebuild this closely, since the VW air-cooled boxer engine.... 👍

I've heard of having your doors blown off but having your hood blown off is a new one to me.
Hagerty: are we doing this right?
**hood flies off into the woods**
Me, a WRC fan: yep, that looks right.
This was fun!
Something I can finally relate to

Probably dont need to tell yall this, but make sure you use a torque plate when boring the cylinders!!
Wait and see you'll love that car when it's done. Cheers 🇨🇦
I think you need to pop this engine into that Volkswagen Beetle. The engines are somewhat similar, and this has been done before.
please please please be building a Factory Five 818!!!!!
That poor ol' bug eye has about had it, maybe part it out to those in need.
Yes. That is the correct way to remove the hood.
If the fr subframe is that bad the inner rear strut towers are probably a distant memory unfortunately
Nice video!
Good thing the hood didn't come off on the interstate as it happened with me. It makes for alot of calamity
My favorite part about putting the hardware back in the holes as you remove parts is getting a part almost all the way reinstalled before figuring out why it isn’t seating correctly, then realizing I forgot one bolt
Can't wait to see more!
You now have a more modern wobble plate. You can put it in the other wobble engined car. And send the blue car to scrap as that is all it is usefull for.
Isn't it fun working on Midwestern cars?! The rust really slows things down.
Can't wait for this Redline Rebuild!! Will be there any updates on SnowBall Bishops race car anytime soon??
awesome content. this is a very hard build because I can't imagine what Davin is gonna do with it. dune buggy? in Michigan? ok, then snow plow? wtf?
