Removing The Stock STI Turbo!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- Got impatient and wanted to pull the turbo out of the car.... So I got it knocked out! In this video I show you how to remove the VF48 from the STI. This is the same removal process for any EJ Based Subaru WRX or STI. Overall it really is not too bad, if this is your first time just take some time and make sure that you are getting all the bolts and hoses out of the way!
The Turbo is held on entirely of 14mm bolts and hoses so you should not need any random tools to get this out, I pulled this VF48 to swap it out with the new FP Blue that we have coming for the car.

Man, I still can’t believe how under rated you are. The world needs to know about ya!
honestly
Appreciate the support guys 🙌 and hopefully things keep growing 😁
Trust me his getting bigger I remember when there was only 160 subs. This guy is gonna blow and his awesome and deserves it
They do now
I don’t even have any plans to pull my engine apart but these videos are still so cool and informative, keep it up! 👌🏻🔥
If the time ever comes you're here for reference 🔥 appreciate the support and awesome feedback!
It’s never really planned
You're so underrate. Keep up the great videos and your channel will explode in no time. Also love how REAL you are. There aren't many car channels like that. I feel like most channels flex their cars and stuff. Keep it up bro!
Wouldn't want to be anyone else aside from myself and the car is what it is, no point in hyping it up id there's nothing to hype 😅 appreciate the support my man and more videos on the way 😁🔥
2 great sayings while turning wrenches. The thing, and this or that guy. I love it.
😁😁😁🙏🙏🙏
This channel has really grown on me. I have a 2016 Limited STI myself with similar mods. Waiting on my billet wheel ball bearing TD06 20G to show up so I can really start having some fun. Love the content man!
Thank you and appreciate the support! Sounds like you've got a fun build going on over there 😁 😍
@@Smeedia absolutely man! Been building a ling time but THIS generation STI is by far my favorite.
What exhaust and downpipe are you running? I think you've said it before but I forget. I uploaded a video on my "channel" of some revs and pops I did in my garage but your sti sounds so much more free and louder. I am running a Megan Racing Catless downpipe and Tsudo N1 Single Angled 3"ID fatback. No resonator either. Just piping and muffler hahaha. Love it but seems yours is aggressive like the Tomei Ti (I'm trying to talk myself out of that one to be honest because I am trying to buy a 2010 370Z as a "play" car next spring and I need to start saving up cash so I dont have to finance it)
Don't blame you and I have the Cobb Catted Downpipe and the ETS Extreme (no mufflers), the new set up will have killer B ELH and the Grimsley 44mm EWG up pipe. I've never been a huge fan of the Tomei based off of the size of the muffler and tip, its massive!
I’m having watching you build it which is exciting and learning A LOT at the same time!! Thank you Smeedia lol love how you’re doing things, keep it up!!
Glad the videos and enjoyable and helpful! And much more coming 😁
You and BaderBuilt are my top channels. I watch a bunch of tech youtubers. But these WRX/STI channels have lead me to spend some money on my WRX lately. Can't wait to see your following grow.
Thank you for the support and excited to continue to grow interacting with everyone has been a blast and enjoy it. And not trying to make you spend more money 😅
Smeedia I don’t mind it’s just I lack the motivation sometimes to pull the trigger . Watched your golden handcuffs and I’m proud of you I left what I thought was the last girl for the rest of my life because I don’t want to mold into society norm from years ago aka Wife and kids and I am the only one expected to bring the cheddar in .
Don't blame you, have to follow dreams and do what we think is best. Not always an easy choice to make
Smeedia Thanks man it’ feels great . Next on my list is school . So I don’t have to work this same job forever . It’s not bad and automotive related but I want something more technical Electrical Controls Engineering .
I’m new to owning both a Brz and Sti and am hooked on your channel.
Thanks for sharing your projects, it’s fun to watch and learn.
👊😊
Congrats on the card and appreciate the support. Glad your enjoying the videos! 😁
Most under rated channel bro I don’t even have a wrx yet still on my stock na subie hatch can’t wait till I get my hatch wrx sti 2014 👌🏽
Appreciate the support and awesome feedback and when are you planning on getting it?! 😁
Smeedia in 2 years 😭 in Australia you have to have your full license to drive that car so abit to go what’s a good mod to put on my na till then ???
Australia has tiers for their license system?! For an NA I would do suspension Mods. Can't really do too much to the engine for the car 😔
Smeedia yes first you have L’s (learners) for 1 year then 2 years on red P’s (provisional license) then 1 year on green P’s (abit more experienced) then full license we are not allowed to drive anything over 200 kws with that said it’s also power to weight ratio so the lighter the car the less kws it has to have all that until we have our full license then we can drive anything
Put mine on yesterday! Make sure you install the oil feed line off the passenger side front banjo bolt, and remove all screens from the other banjo bolts as well. You will be super happy with the blue! Another tip, prime your turbo by putting a few cap fulls of oil in the top of the oil feed spot before you put on the oil feed line on, and spin it clockwise until the oil starts to drip down the oil drain off the turbo. Lastly, unplug your crank sensor and crank about 15 times to prime the turbo. You probably know this, but I just did it yesterday. Enjoy
Will be doing it all tomorrow 😁 the tips are greatly appreciated! How was your install?
@@Smeedia 10 hours with a Perrin inlet. FML. Also im driving in intelligent mode until i can get on a dyno yikes! I did test out 5 lbs of boost lol
That turbo inlet is awful 🙃
Awesome vid! Loving the daily uploads man, keep on grinding!🤙
Thank you! And have much more on the way 😁🔥
Thanks for the turbo removal video. Very detailed and easy to follow. Are you planning to delete your secondary air pump? If yes, may you please do a detail video on that sine you already got everything already off of the car.
I actually did that today and just finished editing that video 😉
Woot woot the good stuff! I think I'm going with a cobb turbo soon as this pandemic is over an I get back to work. You can spend a small fortune on these cars. My ol lady said you got your dream car why isnt that good enough why you gotta spend another 10k I said babe it's a subi thangggg what we do
Haha I mean your not wrong 😅😅😅
Keep it coming bro, learning a lot about how to work on these ridiculously complicated motors
They're not too bad once you get into them but glad that the videos are helping my friend!
Awesome work Tanner. Excited for the upcoming work
Thank you! And excited to keep it going!
Saw the orange crimp clamps, assume just the oil and coolant lines? Great content and really enjoy! GL on the house sale.
All coolant lines 😅 got tiered of coolant going everywhere lol and thank you! Just had someone put an offer on it!
Can’t wait to watch the fuel lines video!!! You going with IAG parallel fuel lines?
Love these videos, I've got 2017 sti, I just did exhaust, short ram intake by Cobb and fuel injectors, fpr, fuel pump myself and having videos like this would have been so helpful. Wish I had the cash for my front mount and Cobb turbo
Thats why I'm making them now, trying to help out how I can 😁
Dude you're literally a freaking mind reader I was tempted to message you and ask for a turbo removal and install cause my Cobb 20g just came in today 😂
I keep telling everyone I can literally read people's minds 😅
@@Smeedia I wouldn't be surprised 😅 thanks for the quality video!
Those turbos are trash bro. I don’t mean to come off as an asshole either hope you don’t take it that way. Get a FP turbo Way better. I currently have a Cobb20g in mine so I would know😂
@@MrPurpleoj any specific reason you say that? I talked to a guy who builds motors and he said he refuses to sell fp blues cause they were reliable I guess. Idk tbh I just wanted to upgrade turbos lol
AHx71 just saw this sorry. A guy nearby that rebuilds turbos has heard that they are just rebranded Arashi turbos. And from what I’ve seen in my town FP black is the way to go.
Thank you for this break down king 👑
Love your videos i started ordering parts for my 16 sti and trying to do a simillar build,,,, when you do your fuel lines can you plsssss make a detail video of your fuel lines set up,
Yes I will make a video covering the fuel lines 😁😁😁
keep up your good work my man much love from quebec canada :D C'ant wait to put more mods on my WRX 2018
Appreciate the support and the mods will come! 🔥😁
Damn this video is 💥🍾🔥 your passion really is fun to watch. Makes me wanna get a new turbo set up. Haha
Thank you! And just love making videos and working on cars. Glad I was able to find something that encorperates both passions 🔥😁 appreciate the support my man!
Killer B Holy Header is the best header you can go with for your setup. It’ll really help uncork your new turbo and unlock monster torque. Expensive but worth every penny.
Great content keep it coming!
serpent viper what about tomei headers ? idk what to get , tomei is cheaper tho
Ended up buying the holy header, get it early next week 😅
Cesar Gonzalez honestly it is worth saving for the holy headers. I promise that you won’t be sorry. If you are going huge rotated turbo like 1000whp crazy then you’d be better off with a big tube header like the ETS but the holy is what you need for 99% of builds.
Love your vids media. Keep it up bro. What camera are you using for your vids?
Thank-you! And I shoot with the Canon EOS R 😁
Lmao every time she sees a ups package in the garage she's like what did you buy now! Oh nothing just a front mount intercooler haha love the videos man I got my ol lady watching your videos! That's a win I'm pushing her into the subi life haha
Haha the lady super supportive of the build thankfully and yessss, convert her to the Subaru lol 😈
Funny you’re posting this vid now on the day I get my 2020 sti finally, now rocking a hard 39 miles. Invidia r400 already to be put on👍🏼
How are you liking the car? 😁
Loving it even though I haven’t even hit boost yet😂
Hey dude, look into the HKS EL header. It's relatively cheap compared to others. Doesn't look the prettiest but who cares, it works and it lasts. Fitment was perfect too. I've had one in my car for over 2 years no issue
Ended up buying the killer B header, bite the bullet and just ordered it 😅
@@Smeedia daaaaang, spendy! Killer b stuff is nice though
Figured if I'm going to do it I have to go all out 😅
@@Smeedialol might as well. I did something similar, while my intake manifold is off I figured I might as well do fuel rails and lines, so I ordered the Cobb kit lol
@@Smeedia atta boy, did you go with the combo and coated version or just the header? Really want to hear the difference, you have enough before content, don't forget to do an after.
Nice work man! You give up some early torque by removing the stock turbo right? I’m debating if I should change my Turbo or not...
Should be very similar to the OE turbo, but carry power better and flows better
Got state reffed so will be following this guide in reverse to get stock back on
Noooooo 😭😭😭
I know you really don’t want to spend a lot of money on a exhaust manifold but you get what you pay for with those kinda things. Maybe look on NASIOC for a used killer b ELH. Second best in my opinion is HKS. Honestly awesome job with the videos. Your putting out a lot of great info.
I actually ended up buying a new Killer B manifold, couldn't find anything else that I would be willing to run, quality and cheap don't go together and thank you trying to get some good installs and dismember videos out 😁
Hey T. What a brave strip down today. Can't wait for the new turbo & set up 💯💯💯🤘🤘🤘. Can I ask everyone a quick question. Is the throttle body intake on the side rather than center on a 2009 wrx uk. Every Subie I've seen the throttle body intake is in the centre. When are you going to get a pearlescent coating on those awsum white wheels. They would look like liquid in motion. So, yeah, keep safe, and all watching 💯💯💯🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👍👍👍
2008+ WRXs throttle body is offset due to the manifold being different and I need to re ceramic coat the wheels just too lazy to do it right now 😅
@@Smeedia does that mean I'll never get that pure Deep Subie rumble
The throttle body location won't matter for the exhaust output, just stick with UEL header for the noise 😁
@@Smeedia it's great how much you know Subaru. Think you will have to be my on line mechanic 🤘🤘🤘
What's the power difference with the new turbo, even thought relatively the same size? Love these rebuild videos
The turbo is rated for around 425 so should pull all the way through recline but anxious to see what it will do 🔥😁
Question, what are your thoughts on changing a subaru twin scroll turbo exhaust housing and replace it with a single scroll housing or vice versa?
I was doing a little snooping around my engine today and see with the up-pipe out of the way, the air injection block off mod is one million times easier. That wasn't fun to attempt on my own with everything intact. Gave up and brought it to Drive.
I just did the air pump deletes today and it was super easy with the tube and up pipe out of the way but still a pain to get done
I'll never understand why Subaru added that nonsense to an engine already plagued with reliability issues. SAI pumps fail on the regular on almost every platform they're installed on. I've been pretty lucky with my car. It was one of the first group after the stop sale in 08 and has 144k on the clock. The SAI was the only mechanical problem I ever had besides the dreaded power steering pump o-ring.
Can't wait till it runs again with all the new parts in it
Same, want it to be running asap I miss the car already 😅
@@Smeedia i hope i can do this on my car soon too your videos are so inspiring.
Dude have you made a video about different turbos for sti and what to use for which application? I haven’t found it if so. I still have a stock block in my 2018 sti, so I don’t want to blow it sky high, or i’d like to at least avoid that as long as possible before needing a built block lol. So my question is, how much power can the 2018 sti take reliably on stock internals and what is the perfect turbo to run below that limit. Aka what turbo can I run that isn’t gonna turn me into *that* guy? It’s just that there are so many different numbers and sizes etc. my goals are to avoid blowing the car up while ideally having a turbo that spools up around 2750-3000rpm and pulls to at least 6k or so with a grimspeed tmic. I do have mechanical sympathy and hate redlining it with stock internals lol. What’s the turbo for me sir? And I would like to go ewg. For example if you tell me that the stock 18 sti ej can handle say 500whp on stock internals id like to have mine sit at like 425whp. I’d like a lil cushion there. I plan on doing injectors and fuel pump and beefing up cooling package as well. Sorry for the wordy question my dude, and yeah ik modding is dangerous and we all accept risks. I will blow it up someday and get a built long block, but until then just looking for the perfect turbo to hover just below doomsday lol. What would you recommend for turbo/injectors/fuel pump to run on 93 pump gas and not mangle her?
Cobb 20G or an FP Blue would be ideal, keep it around 400WHP. Use a tial 38mm wastegate with either option and you'll be solid 🔥
I see you got your trusty old cardboard 😂 same bro !
Use that cardboard for everything 🤣
This videos will help me in the future!
Thank you
Thats the goal 😁
when replacing the turbo, do you need to drain the oil and coolant first?
Any recommendations to re-attaching the Coolant and Oil lines? I am sort of following your same build. I have a FP Blue. I fabricated my own AN line for the coolant and had a hydraulic shop trim the oil line they sent. Both the oil feed and coolant feed from the head leaked at the copper washers. Did you use FPs copper washers or use stock? I'm about to run to Subaru in the morning and just get OEM washers and re-torque all those lines back down.
I used FPs washers without any issue, interested to see how thr oil and coolant lines come out!
I look forward to your new short block install soon 😂
Same 😅😅😅😅
Headers are cheap but I was under the impression that you have to coat them because wrapping them makes them crack and if you dont wrap them they'll melt everything. Help.
Coating is the best option, wrapping can be hit or miss im doing neither 😅
Does the downpipe have to come off to do this?
So what turbo would you recommend I'm looking at the grimmspeed bb turbo right now motor is stock still top mount and I just want some more boost power and am kinda stuck on turbo choice
Also I want to be able to have a turbo that will be able to handle the engine mods down the line but still be able to have fun looking at getting to 550 hp or 650
Tbh go rotated, I wouldent suggest a stock location turbo for that much power. You could push an FP Black upwards of 550
You should try porting the stock cast manifolds and buy the grimmspeed crossover pipe! I’m going that route and going with a Cobb 20g on my sti.
I actually ended up buying a header 😅
Nice! If I end up not liking it I’m thinking killer B since it’s well killer b lol. I enjoy the content dude keep it up.
I got the Killer B as well, no such thing as a cheap quality header 😅
Smeedia nice! It’s going to be worth it in the end.
Agreed 😁
Question, upgrading my stock turbo, to a better, do I need to tune it with a pro tune or fine with ots stage 2 tune?
Working on the newer Subies is nice , no rust . My cars are all bugeye/blobeye lot's of corrosion , and heat sheilds=SUCK !!
I know the pain my old GD STIs were the same way 🙃
Am not ready to do all of this,but big Question is warranty of car.what I been told you do not have any warranty any more.And how much this $$$$ you and where did you get them at,live in Fort Myers,Fla
Personally I alqays throw warranty out the window, I can't keep my hands off of modifying these cars
At 7:49 you said, "...and one coolant line to your air oil separator (AOS)", is this correct? I didn't know any coolant lines ran to the AOS. I thought it was called an AOS because it it separated air and oil, not air and coolant...hehe.
Lol the coolant that runs through the APS just keeps the camber the same temp as the engine to reduce the chance of condensation building up 😁
Depends on which brand AOS. Killer Bee doesn't use coolant but IAG/Cobb do.
@@Smeedia Haha...say what? Camber the same temp? Oh you mean to keep the canister the same temp?
@@soopermarkus Ahhhh ok.
Meant chamber 😅
Nice! I saw import image racing is having a sale on their AP UEL headers right now for $450
Ended up ordering the Killer B Headers, but appreciate the tip!
@@Smeedia NICE!!
Did you ever find a header like you mentioned in the video?
The killer B 🔥
Hey, I’m running an upgraded TMIC (Grimspeed) and other low heat supporting mods (header, radiator, oil, etc...) but I want more. I know I’ll upgrade fueling but can you recommend the best Turbo upgrade with a TMIC?
Whats your WHP goal? 🙏
I'm so mad at myself for not seeing this before.. I've been pouring over the STIS manual trying to figure out the best order for doing all of this, and didn't even realize you already did a video on it..
Welp, at least I now know that I had about the right idea, but apparently will have to drain the oil as well since removing the turbo. (Need to put a wastegate bracket on anyway)
At least the set of things I'm all doing seem to all match up perfectly then! Just the AoS will have to wait until the DP/Up-pipe/44mm Wastegate are installed.
Well glad you came across the video! Not too bad to pull out, a little annoying but overall straight forward 😁 Slunds like some solid mods coming in!
@@Smeedia Ok, I have to ask..
I can get the lower front exhaust manifold off, have all the shields off, but how the heck do you get the front O2 sensor off of the front manifold with the recessed groove? I haven't attempted with any wrench yet, and sprayed with PB Blast, but dang.. I even took the bracket off Cyl3 to unthread it from the shield, but no matter what the sensor MUST come out to drop the manifold.
Any advice on removing that dang thing?
You can undo the electrical connector in the bay to remove it then use a O2 socket to remove it. Makes like 1000X easier 😁
@@Smeedia Yep! Already got the sensor unplugged, I just feel really dumb that an O2 sensor remover tool is a thing I just learned I needed. Another trip to the auto parts store, but that SHOULD be the last thing I need then. I want to see my turbo out today! SO CLOSE.
@@Smeedia Got it removed! Though learning experience, ended up bending the O-rings on the back of the sensor until I realized I did it backwards. Gah. Once lined up with the ratchet properly and using a bit of PB, it actually popped right out!
Learning experience, but may as well replace everything while it's down and out now anyway so it's good and fresh for all the additional mods! Thanks so much as always for all the great work on the vids!
Look up the HKS equal length, best bang for your buck and right behind Killer B performance wise
I ended up ordering the killer B holy header 😅
I just got my hks EL header second hand today lol
So much room in a Left hand drive car to remove the turbo and downpipe. We've got the steering knuckle and the brake booster in the way 🤦🏻♂️.
I had a 'mare with removing my downpipe heatshields, took all bleedin' day 🙈
I couldn't even image trying to remove it with the steering shift in way, is already annoying enough as is 😅
Baste off your experience, is it possible to remove the turbo without removing the header or upipe? im just swapping out my turbo so i was wondering if i could get away with just removing the downpipe and just pulling it up and off the uppipe.
Yes you can get Way with just removing the downpipe to get the turbo out 😁
Hey I asked you this question before but I wasn’t sure if you knew what I mean so if I put let’s say a downpipe catback and a cold air intake in my 2020 sti would it be fine to not upgrade the fuel system and just pro tune it
No you will have to swap out your fuel injectors and fuel pump at minimum, the 2015+ STIs OEM Fuel system can't support and intake+Downpipe. You'll lean out and start throwing CELs, if you look at my last dyno video from Aug 2019 you can see it happen
Smeedia thanks this helped a lot I couldn’t find sources anywhere to answer that
Why did you take the front bumper off? The Turbo is on the back of the motor. Just put the car up on ramps, and everything is reachable. I have a mechanic's pit in my garage, which makes the job easy unless the bolts are seized up.
question what was the blue tape used for?
Question I can't find a solid answer. What the stock turbo on the sti is it a vf48?
What year sti?
How much Whp and tq you think youre going to get? im thinking around 400+ 🌽
I'm guessing around 400 or so 🔥😁
Do you recommend a built engine if I turbo upgrade?
Depends on how much power you want to make. Anything above 400 i suggest it
@@Smeedia ok cool I figured. I just see all these ppl strapping on a new turbo and wishin for the best. Didn’t know if I was missing something.
#riskitforthebiscuit squad
😁😈😁
So is our sti 15+ oil or coolant
Go with equal length. One of the best things I did.
Got the Killer B holy headers on the way 😁
get the tomei equal length headers, they're half the price of the killer b holy headers
I was looking at them but they only came in a 3 bolt 🙃
Plans for that stock turbo?
Already sold and on its way to Hawaii 😅
Cost of total build in the future?
Once we get the tune done I'll make that video 😅
Nice!
Btw: making 360 whp and 347tq from the dyno 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬 🔥🔥
Yessssss! No more issues?!
@@Smeedia all good. Getting an alignment and corner balancing, taking it home Tuesday.
I wish mine was up and running, low key jealous 😅
@@Smeedia been down over 2 and a half months. I'm getting real sick of my old 4 speed pickup truck.
It was such a tease taking it from the shop to the tuner. (Especially on a limp map.)
I can't wait to bring it home. A good hour on i95, when its completely empty - 0 traffic. Ouuuuuuu!!
Is the stock turbo for sale ?
Already sold 😅
Mission failed boys we’ll get em next time:(
How's the reliability
Was great 🙌
Once you got the turbo out you should have gone NA. lol
Full send NA 😅
Turbo for sale?
Sold a long time ago 😢
😎👍🏻👍🏻
😈😈😈
Does "bye bye stock turbo!" Also mean "Oh, hello hello, blown motor" in nearest future? :)
It could potentially 😅
@@Smeedia that's your goal, kinda. To have as much fun as possible with the stock block, right? :)
Are you planning on posting some track days videos?
Once the tracks open up thats the plan 😁 and curios to see what the stock block will hold, kinda like an experiment I guess 😅
Slap that sti turbo on the brz!
only if it was that easy🥺
I wish 😔 Turbo BRZ Build will be after we finish the STI though 😁
Should of just removed the engine out. Literally would of made your life easier. Engine removal with a hoist is like a 2 hour job. Get a clutch job done also in the process. Looking good still either way
I don't have the space to pull it right now or the house but I would have much rather done that 😅
Hey I'll buy your stock turbski!
Already sold, but appreciate the offer 😅
@@Smeedia dang big fella!
Gonna sell that turbo? Haha. Also putting my bypass valve hose on today. Picked it up at fastwrx.com
Stock turbo has already sold 😅 and yessssss 🔥
Makes me want to this to my wife’s STI. That’s not going to happen.
Lol one day maybe? 😅
An hour means 3 hours in Subaru time.
I've seen some high horsepower builds that use this header. Good price too. afepower.com/afe-power-48-36802-twisted-steel-long-tube-header
Wish I saw this yesterday! Lol I ordered the Killer B headers 😅
Can I have your old turbo?
Old turbo already sold 😅
This was potentially the least helpful car video I've ever watched, please work on your camera angles
Bruh this videos like 4 years old when I first started making videos
My Apologies, didn't realise this video was that old, I take back what I said
Selfie-stick recording is not a good idea. The selection of music is horrendous, sorry.
Then don't watch 💁♂️
i have a evo 7 VII my other channel is deadhero15 it has a mk4 supra aftermarket turbo
I’m having watching you build it which is exciting and learning A LOT at the same time!! Thank you Smeedia lol love how you’re doing things, keep it up!!
