Taking the WRX out of my Subaru WRX
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Welp! Time to get the WRX Road worthy again! Since picking up the 2.5RS I have realized just how clapped out that poor thing is and IT will not be streetable for long. So we need to get our WRX going. The time has come to start turning our WRX into an STI and that means stripping out the old 5 Speed and preparing the chassis for its new 2017 Subaru WRX STI 6 Speed and the Built motor we are slapping in!
Save yourself some $$$ and use code "Smeedia" At check out at Rallysport Direct!

Been waiting for an upload even though its been like a day. I found this Chanel like 2 months ago and have been loving it ever since. Can't wait to see more of the 2.5 rs build
Oodles of parts on the way from Japan for the RS 🥳
@@Smeedia 🥳
The channel pace is beautiful right now. Selling the Evo was definitely a good call!
Definitely put us in a place to be Ble to do some stuff 🔥🥳
The intro is the best part of this video lmao, love the energy and can’t wait for the wrx to be finished 🥳
The wrx is going to be. Blast when done 🥳
Congrats on 100k subs my guy!!! You deserve it with all the work you put in.
Eyyy, thank you 🥳🥳🥳
Bro your life is what I wish mine could be, building/making and having fun with subbies. But you hit nail on head, I've never had the "sterotype issues with subaru" either, just gotta care for your car n not be dumb.
Take care of then and they take care of you 🙏 its fun playing with these things but definitely gets stressful at times 😅
Last week I added oil to a ford f150 at work with 9000km. It was 5 quartes low.
How was it still going 😳
Can't go wrong with a set of Wedsports TC105X's in 18x11. Super light, reasonably priced. Loving seeing you juggle three cars at once
Tbh I was looking at those last night 😅🔥
@@Smeedia Weds are dope for the money, I love mine.
@@Smeedia I had them on my widebody sti.
That red gc8 and some other neglected ones like that is the reason I think Subaru are hella reliable . They shouldn't be running like that but they do
I mean, your not wrong 😅😅😅
Pulling the engine in 45 min?!?! That's amazing bro. Yesterday, I bought my first engine hoist. I'm putting it together this morning, and starting pulling my STI engine this after noon!! Also, did not know Matt had a channel. Subbed.
How did the engine pull go?!
Widebody kit all the things
YASSSSSS
Definitely recommend the Beatrush Diff Bushings - difference maker! Also a rear diff mount - the Cusco one worked great for me
Ohhhh I'll take a look into them 🔥
I would power coat the brembos in either that gold you could get on Z's or like just a silver or aluminum color, or hyper silver, or cherry blossom red to pay homage to the STI
Also kinda thinking of doing a silver as well 👀👀👀
I still like that top secret demo color wrap. Keep the white wheels will make it pop! Maybe do a logo You're all logo in carbon fiber with red eyes I think would look cool. You might want to make that into a t-shirt. Hit me up if you need some ideas? That poor GC or whatever. That is probably best to turn it back stock and go from there or convert it to speed density setup.
The poor GM6 is so beat 😅 but we will bring it back lol
The white makes that color POP
Hell yes . Good Job tanner can't wait for this new series. I can't wait to continue watching Matt and his channel growing as well.
Yassss, he needs to get the lgt stuff going 🔥
Matt has a channel? Was this ever mentioned?
@@andrewharris7868 multiple times 😅
Cant wait for all the content!
Im most exited for the 2015+ sti build
I also can't wait to see what you do with the gc8
If u wanted to go crazy they do adapter plates for most engines to the gc8 trans so you could even put a rotory In it!
I think I'd get scolded if I out anything in that car that is not an EJ 😅😅😅
So much going on in this video - 3 scooby builds on the go at the same time - love it!! 🤘
You should twin charge it. You know it would be a lot of fun.
Abs light might be a speed sensor
A good way to make your winter garage life better. Go to home depot and buy insulation foam board. Put it on the garage door and cover any windows.
I might actually do this 😅🤝
Tanner i dont know what your definition of "daily driver" is, but...you dont have a daily driver, you have a never ending string of project cars. Looking forward to the RS tho
Wearing my big brain t shirt and smeedia hoodie while I watch.... makes me feel like Bros hanging out! Haha
Eyyyy, MY MANS 🔥💪
I knew something looked odd when I seen the 25rs motor was missing something in the intake lol MAF , sick excited for the new build makes me wanna dig into my gc again .
Surprise to me, I guess the 01 2.5rs never came with a MAF Sensor 😳
@@Smeedia I was searching the comments to see if anyone had told you yet haha. 2000-2001 were weird. Hope you figure out what's going on with it!
10:50 No, the plugs should not all be the same and there are very good reasons why those plugs are different. Most important is the amperage which is the difference you are dealing with. One of those is good for 50a the other is only good for 30a.
You right, I looked more into it last night 😅 had to buy a converter from the 50amp to the 30 Amp for the oven lol
@@Smeedia I hope that included changing the breaker down to 30 amps
o,o
Here we go. Great maintenance days ahead 👌. Stay safe.
🤝💪🤝💪
I have a maf sitting in a box I bought for my 98 ej22 that will work for your gc. Also got the part that goes on the dock tower you're missing for that vacuum plug
More than likely never gonna do a 6 speed swap but it is still so educational to see all this shit. Still all that subaru goodness that applies to my '16. Thanks for all you do bro 👊
Anytime my friend, so far not too bad for the swap 🔥🥳
I’m too lazy to look through all the comments to see if it’s been mentioned already, but ABS light could simply be a wheel speed sensor.
Also, always do an oil change when buying a used car. I personally wouldn’t bother with the O2 sensor or plugs until you put an OEM MAF and intake back on; I’m sure that thing is running rich AF since it’s stuck in OL. The plugs and sensor will foul quickly with bad AFRs.
Exactly, apparently these don't have MAFs which is a little odd to me 😅😅😅
this is so helpful considering i’m trying to 6 speed swap my blob eye, wanna see how you wire up the dccd too.
I got you 🥳🥳🥳
If you didn't get it figured out already the last couple of years of these cars didn't run MAF. They ran speed density. And that plug is for the cruise control.
you saying moulding the widebody reminded me once ibuy an sti(hopefully) i really wanna mould the m-sport widebody to it
YASSSSS!!!!
damn sold that evo and went HAM much respect that eg33 is going to be nuts
Things going to be better than ever 🔥🔥🔥
2 doors can be GC too, its spec dependent. The type r is a gc8, the 22b is a GC8 also.
Obviously your knowledge of these cars is _vast_ but what I really can't understand is how you keep track of all the nuts and bolts with so many projects happening at once! Love following your channel bro :)
Foresters and gcs 2.0 doesn't have a mass they have only temp that orange plug for the cruise actuator
Learned that recently 😅
Super excited for this build Tanner! Content keeps getting better and better 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Eyyy, thank you Pete!
ayyy called the ej207 💪 but i also expect you to change your mind again lol AWESOME STUFF!
Lol nah we will finally do a 2.0L 😅🤝
cant wait to see this thing in action again!!!!! Keep it up man!
Things going to be 100X better 🥳
Putting on some work as always, running cusco mounts all around and no issues.
Cusco mounts are minty fresh 🤌
I see that 100k man congrats keep up the good videos 💪
Eyyy thank you Miguel!
Can't wait for the rest of this build, and the STI, and the new ride build..all the Subarus. Want to eventually front end swap a VA wrx to my crosstrek and engine swap to either a FA or EJ. Lot of work but it would be one of very few wrx- crosstrek mashups
Ohhhh that thing would be sick!!
So exited for all of this! My buddy at the subie sanctuary just dropped their part 1 widebody gc coupe process video. If you have the time check them out!
Keep up the lovely content!
Definitely going to have to take a peek at it 🔥
This time the exhaust won't be flush from the fender. You could use a steel mesh painted black to allow for the heat distribution for the carbon fender
You could have 3-6"of whatever diameter exhaust you'll have sticking out
@Scott Smith not a bad idea 👀 I kinda liked the flush look though 😅
@@Smeedia up to you man, you said more aggressive and I thought Fast 🤣
Lord, how cold is it in northeast Washington already? You look cold. Winter sucks
It's like 35* 😅
So much going on with this channel. What a time to be alive!
🥳🥳🥳🥳
You should see if Mochi will run alongside the skateboard with you...
The white and gold looks mint, I'd suggest the callipers should be gold or white although I have probably missed the boat on that one.
ABS light was always on in my 01 RS. I really miss mine, just bc of what it was, but my GD blob spoke to me on a whole other level and felt like I was one with that car. Had both at the same time and it’s crazy how different they felt from each other with only 3 years apart between the two.
I'm gonna need a build list eventually for everything you had to get! gotta see if i can put all that in my 08 hatch
It will all be covered in the next video 🥳🥳🥳
Lesss goo
Not sure if anyone mentioned this but the 99-01 2.5 RS's are MAP based cars and not MAF. Also all 99-01 RS are the ej251 sohc.
98 and older are DOHC and are MAF.
Learned this yesterday 😅 odd they dod not have a MAF
Thanks for the entertaining and educational video. 🎉congrats again. Do you have a address to send ya stuff?
We've got a P.O box listed on the channel info tab 🥳🥳
@@Smeedia cool
I did the poly insert for my r180 diff
Ordered the same 🔥🔥🔥
Not messing around, getting stuff done!!!
Gotta knock these things out 😅🔥
Northwest
Are the new STi rims going to be white just like the current ones? Really like the look of the white with the blue body color.
Maybe.... 😅
Ngl bro I always thought the way you had the STI looking was so perfect. Like a silent predator 😂
Except for the loud ass exhaust and fire shooting fender 😅
I don’t know if it’s the same, but I have an extra MAF kicking around from a ‘98 legacy outback. Lmk if you want it. The car had a ej25D (dual overhead cam)
I guess these things did not come with maf sensors from what I've recently discovered 😅
@@Smeedia oh really??? That’s pretty odd, I would have never guessed that! Well hopefully it will be easy to iron out the little issues so you can at least drive it around for a bit before kicking off the big build!
Now I want to sti swap everything in my bugeye besides trans and engine
Why not the trans?!
@@Smeedia I love the 5 speed
So glad that you prove everybody wrong about the 5spd! It did not blow up! It nice! Love this so many things happenening
Tbh kinda surprised it didn't 😅
So dope....I can't wait..
Question if I did the trans/drive shaft and diff ..do I need the dccd controller on my 18 wrx? Or what is the bare minimum parts I need to start.. so I can build from there
You done NEED them but I'd suggest it.
At minimum for yours you'd need the trans, diff and driveshsft
@@Smeedia yes I definitely will be getting the dccd controller eventually but I just wanted to know where I can start from...thanks bud
For sure do the rear diff mounts I got the Perrin ones they are nice but I've heard really good things about the beatrush ones and while you're at it do the Perrin subframe lockdown kit
Alotnof goodies we need to add on here 😅💪
@@Smeedia 😂 of course the build never ends right
The ej207 is a beast. Thank you for keeping it 2.0
I listen every now and then 😅🤝
What year is it that doesn’t require a rear axle swap with a 6 speed swap? I could have sworn it was 06
2015+ dosent require it
All the others should If you use an R180 🤝
well done 👍👍👍👍quick question do I have to take my brembo calipers of to remove the dust covers mine all crusty want to 're paint them..thanks bro
Yes you will have to 🙏
The maf you can get oem for 300
Got one today for freeee 🔥🔥🔥
Can you please show how and where to jack up the car from. Just like you just did on the blue subie.
Did the wheel sensors get damaged when they swapped out the mismatch coilovers?
Luckily nope 🥳
I love the overhead view of yanking the engine out,super nice idea
Figured it would be nice to start mixing up angles a bit 😅
@@Smeedia the overhead idea was such a cool idea and makes tearing an ej out super easy as well
How much you selling those wheels for?
Without tires $1700 with tires $2500
Yes! The WRX type-STi (lol) is a go. I wanna do this to my FA but it's way above my paygrade so I'd need to find a reputable person/shop to do it lol
You can totally do it! It's really not too bad 🥳
The RS is going to be the ultimate Smeedia build.
You know it my man 🥳🥳🥳
Keep the gold wrap it’s sweet!
It looks fire with the white wheels 🔥
@@Smeedia save you some money and time lol 🤘
I had a GC I was trying to build out for a rallycross, I'm so jealous to see this.
Me and the wife fell on hard times and I had to sell the project :(
Found out it later was impounded for shenanigans on the road....
Guess I'll just live vicariously through you! :P
Also, interested in possibly checking out the DCCD swap you did on this as I have a Legacy Spec B. which comes with the STI 6 but not the controllable center diff and have thought more than once about the possibility of a swap/conversion.
Can we chat?
Yessir chat we may!
Rock On Dude!! The sti rear dif and axles Rox for Sure😜F A S T
🥳🥳🥳
That motor doesnt come with a MAF if it has that pressure sensor
Learned that recently 😅
Dude I just realized you hit 100k bravo dude 👏🏽 gonna get that plaque from RUclips now 🤘🏼
Eyyyy thank you! Wild to see 100K!!!
2000-01's did not have a MAF... they have a MAP.. FYI 98-99 Had MAF'S MAP is on the INTAKE/Throttle body.. That sensor is Intake Air Cont
Positive? The things I've seen is they have a MAF box?
All thr OEM MAP/MAF sensors I'm seeing for it do not match what is on this one, or what is missing from this one
@@Smeedia 100% I have the complete FSM for the RS if you want me to send it to you need a dropbox
@@scoobysouth yes please if you could 🙏
Tannerwrx525@gmail.com
Haha I can't believe that car would keep starting with no MAF!! Thats actually quite impressive.
Apparently no maf is normal for it 😳 did some more digging today and the 01s never had a maf sensor
I love this hatch build 🥹🤤
The hatch is going to be 🔥🔥🔥
hood exit exhaust for the win!
You have so many builds going on at once and idk which one I should be more excited for 😂
I'm pumped for all of them 😅🔥
I know this comment is late buuuut if i were to say. Have a rotary just lying around would you want it? I would genuinly give to you free of charge (aside from shipping depending on price) i am currently looking at an rx7 and intend on swapping to a 350 as its better for my use of the car.
13B? 👀 I'd gladly take it and swap it into something 🔥
@@Smeedia yup! Excellent!!!
I’d love to see a build ej257 short block with the 251 head with a big ass turbo
Hmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔
@@Smeedia there is a guy that did that build on his legacy you should be able to find it as legasti he has like two or 3 videos here on RUclips is a sick and unique build
Damn man, I'm surprised you made it home in the 2.5rs. no MAF at all 🤯. So excited to see the WRX slamming with the 6 speed with the fat boi wheels.
6 speed is the way, so excited to get that 5 speed out
I think it runs closed loop off of the O2s when there’s no maf
@@MrPond-xp6dl if this was a maf car it would run open loop fueling with no maf installed, but this year only had a map sensor!
I can't wait to see blue back up and running.
Sameeee 🔥🔥🔥
Selling wrx motor? Or legacy getting that to?
I'd sell the shortblock if someone wanted it
Do a update on the sti
Coming soon. Waiting on the last of thr parts I ordered to come in for it
This is fun to watch since I want to do this eventually on mine.
So far not too bad at all 🥳🥳🥳
I am pumped for all of it!
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Hey Tanner. I have a 2000 RS and mine don’t have a MAF either, and there’s no connector hanging around for it. Just fyi
And here we goooo!!!!
Yeah buddy!!! 😎👍🏻👍🏻
TOMMMMM 🥳🥳🥳
You got so much fun stuff going on! You're definitely my favorite channel.. although I haven't watched Matt's yet. Subject to change 😆
Lol ya never know 😅🔥 Matt does some fun stuff in his videos
cant get enough of ur videos lately, keep it up 👍
I love my lil 207 in the bug
What are the sizes/offset on the wheels you’re wanting to sell? Might be interested
18x9.5 +38 5x100 🤝
That's a lot of wheel to stuff in there.. 💪💪💪
😁😁😁
Tell us where you get the ej207 for the coup when you get it please. I’ve been searching for one but don’t want to buy it off of eBay.
Getting one from Japan 👀 OKI Subies is sending one over from the motherland
@@Smeedia that’s awesome! I’ll have to hit them up and see what the prices are. Are you going with a V7?
Now you can fit a 2JZ there and fix Subaru!!! LOL
So much room for one 🤣
The 01 runs MAP only, they don’t have a MAF to my understanding
Wtf is mine missing then 🤣
Smeedia do you recommend a velossatech big mouth snorkel? I live in Florida and the intake temps are almost never ideal with the cobb short ram so I am trying to lower the iat's, would love some tips. Love the vids!
I've never used one before but it's definitely worth a try! 😁
“Why didn’t you guys tell me” “it’s alright I forgive you”. Dude, its a freaking camera man😂😂
I was in the moment 🤣
When you wire up the MAP DCCD can you please show me where to attach the signal wire for the RPM? I think it should connect at the ECU. The MAP instructions strictly say to run the wire in parallel to the one that connects the ECU to the gauge cluster and not to splice it. The shop I brought my car to spliced the wire cause they said they didn't know how else to connect it and now the RPMs jump all over the place.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy I'm stoked for the turnout, we will be ecstatic and desperately waiting for the epic turn out. Maybe a little on the personal side but I can't help but wonder how you and Matt met?
Things going to be a party 🔥
@@Smeedia so can't wait, gives a new perspective on the year/platform, thank you for further knowledge
@@hatefunwrx we met through our old friend Tyler Years ago 😅 we both had subarus at the time lol
@@Smeedia hell yeah man, actually feels like the best way to meet
When Smeedia is living your dream of STI trans swapping the WRX 🥺....one day my VA will live the dream
One day my friend ❤️❤️❤️
