Thank you for breaking this down and removing the uncertainty around this job! Definitely way easier with belts than cars with timing chains. Nice work!
Good video. It always amazes me how simple the timing is on an EJ, yet folks are scared to tackle it. Couple things that may help your viewers - you didn’t mention bleeding the tensioner. Aisin recommends cycling the hydraulic tensioner 3 times with it upright before installation. Also it’s good practice to turn the motor over by hand a full rotation (2 turns of the crank pulley) to make sure the timing marks come back to in time and there is no binding as you turn it over. Good stuff. Love your channel
You deserve more subscribers, I’ve learned so much just from you than other big youtubers, I’m so glad I found you ! Keep it up man ! Watched this video after I saw the bad engine one from 4 hours ago.
Heyo Tanner! Doing the timing belt on suzy today. I sourced all parts OEM from my usual sources, and paid $20 for a generic cam tool, all said and done, im $500 into it... Looks like ill be replacing my radiator hoses too.. Lol im just gonna keep this video on repeat
In a pinch you can get more than 1 timing service out of an OEM water pump if you are buying the parts individually. But the Aisin kit water pump is OEM quality and you'll end up paying more purchasing individually from Subaru for all the parts included in the kit. I've been pretty happy with them.
My last final is today, my Aisin kit arrives tomorrow, and this video drops right before I sit down for lunch. Timing IS everything. U think that chopped SRS plug is a DIY Takata 💥claymore (pass. airbag) delete, via disabling the weight sensor 🤔😆? Good stuff, keep 'em coming 🤙
Nice man! I did my timing on my Bugeye this summer and I was a little worried that it'd be difficult but it wasn't bad at all. Hardest part was the belt guides and performing ER level surgery on the belt cover lol
Legit got excited when I opened RUclips and this vid popped up... Good vid to watch before I go to bed... Excited for this build... I blob eye STi so bad
HA! I just got home from work to find my timing cover is literally disintegrating. No sweat though - Tanner has a great walkthrough and I can totally handle this myself.
@smeedia I was actually looking ror 2005-2007 sti replacement door cards and from what I have found out is that the Door cards and the blue sti carpet are discontinued. So you can not buy them from the dealer anymore. Unless there is a dealer that has spares laying around. They sell door cards but they are black or maybe even the one you have. So they are becoming a little rare now.
Driver side intake pully may spin on you as you take the belt off, not the end of the world if you have moved the engine to TDC as you should before starting the timing service. it is possible to spin the intake pully without popping the bolt cover off but if you use a cam alignment tool it will be necessary to remove. I recall the intake needs to rotate clockwise and exhaust counter clockwise if they do end up spinning on you. I didn't see any mention of bleeding the tensioner, did your kit recommend it?
Going to have to get a 3.3 ohm resistor for the airbag light. I broke my connector putting sti seats in my fozzy. Running this temporarily until I can find a used seat harness to swap in.
You’ll be fine. Ive done it and haven’t had an airbag blow on me...yet 😅 and go 1/4 watt or higher so the wire’s a low enough gauge to seat in the connector.
So this weekend all because of you I’m gonna attempt replacing my 05 fozzie xt timing belt kit - if it goes wrong I’m blaming you !!! Not really just send me any help you can ;-)
I watched the other video from today first before this one. You sound so hopeful and excited getting everything together to start it and I felt so bad with what I know is coming. So sorry bro... At least in the end this car will be solid and reliable
Can't wait to hear it start up! If you don't mind, how much have you spent in parts to get everything rebuilt? And if you've answered and I missed it, apologies.
Love your content, have been following you for a long time over the past couple years! I have a question. I have my timing set, I spun a few rotations by hand and the cams line up, but the crank/oil pump gear is about 1 tooth off from the marking, and the belt markings do not line back up to the set positions. Is this normal?
Hi just came across your channel gotta say big thumbs up for detail and camera skills. On a second note. So how come you kept the factory crank pulley on? Every Subaru I've had gets a lightweight thrown on while doing timing.
Thank you! Ans personal preference, the harmonic balancer does a good job at absorbing the vibrations from the crank. The lightweight ones work but just never been a huge fan. I alqays prefer the fluid dampners. 🙌
Is it possible to have all the marks perfectly lined up when you did timing but you still be out of time? My tuner told me that you can't rely on the marks but you have to count the teeth on the belt from the crank to the cam on the driver and passenger side? He said it's supposed to be 54.5 teeth from Passenger to crank, and 51 teeth from Crank to driver side cam mark.
Good day sir. I have just purchase an WRX STi 2014 with 30,000kms on it. Do I still have to change the Timing belts it’s a very low mileage on it. Thank you.
@@Smeedia I did a lot of research on the forums. I found out that “Made in Japan” Gates kit part numbers have to end with the letter “N” or else you’ll end up with “Made in China” parts and those are the kits that fail prematurely.
@@Smeedia It just looked like the alignment marks were off by a smidge lol. Go back through your vid and pause when you get to point when you're going over the driver side marks.
nice video! i always use my iphone slow mo videos to check my marks haha and usually turn it over by hand so my cam gear rotate 2 full rotations and check my marks again. nice to double check things! Keep up the good videos dude!
Passenger seat SRS harness. If you want to, you can repair it. In the industry we are not allowed to repair them. If you use a crimp connector or even solder it back together you have the potential to change the resistance of the wire. More resistance could cause the airbag to deploy late, less resistance could cause it to deploy early, or it could not deploy at all. Hence why we can not repair them, super big liability issue.
@@Smeedia I would recommend replacing the whole harness, which is probably about $1000 to 1500 for just the harness, plus probably need to remove 90% of the interior to put the harness in. If you just leave it alone (i would find the wires and individually wrap them in electrical tape) it should be fine. The passenger airbag just won't work.
Timing scares me lol but looks simple, I just ordered the aisin belt kit, your old pan and pickup should be here Saturday and I have a aos on the way just need to order the dom coolant mod then I can drive the car with less worries
@@Smeedia that’s funny bro, btw you’re the best RUclipsr. 100% your super interactive you’ve answered plenty of questions on your streams of mine and very informative, I have a bunch of your videos downloaded so when I can afford my first project wrx I got you to make it smooth sailing thanks so much I’m going to follow you in Instagram as we speak
@@Smeedia I’m glad to hear, it nice having someone with this level of experience to help along my walk of life with my passions especially as young as I am much appreciation😁
@smeedia just did and everything went fine but now I seem to have cel and from my access port it says I have 2 codes one being a general misfire and also cylinder 4 misfire.. do you think timing can cause that?? Like maybe off by a tooth?
@@Smeedia will do !! Now another thing I remember when I did it on the driver side cams the marks were aligned on the cover but the double dash marks were a little off.. so idk if that would be normal?
Wow, I didn't get any drawing showing me how the timing belt goes on. That's actually nice. I did pick up a Company 23 tool that holds the cams in place. I also had to replace that short hose on the oil cooler/heater. But I used a generic hose from Autozone for $1. I didn't even consider Subaru. My local Subaru places have almost nothing in stock ever. Actually pretty disappointed in the Subaru service department. They don't seem to know that much about their cars compared to other companies. They always ask for the VIN number every time and I have to tell them that the VIN will not help them with how modded this car is lol. But the parts counter at my local place when trying to find new window stabilizers has littery argued with me trying to say that those parts weren't on the car. Haha, I have 4 windows each window has 2 stabilizers I usually have to show them the Subaruparts.com site showing the part number. Like they don't believe me. Never had issues like this with my Toyota or Honda builds. Strange
@@Smeedia I've heard that due to Subaru's massive growth rate they're down on service people and technicians. Perhaps the parts people are understaffed and undertrained too?
Hey next time someone asks about grimmspeed aos refer them to the flatirons tuning video of what crankcase pressure tells us. Is a 53minute video but they have hard evidence about a.o.s. its super cool watch it
Out of curiosity why would you want to? No one makes anything like that to my knowledge, you would need custom cam gears, pulleys modified block and heads to be able to do something for a chain guide to bolt onto
in the previous videos i thought you said that you didnt know what the purple color stuff was that the previous owner had in it when you bought i ,, i could have miss heard you,
My Subaru dealer is charging me $300 for the install, I bought my own parts. That said $600 for my timing belt and waterpump only because I don't have the time and space to do it.
I would have spun the timing belt before putting on the timing belt covers after taking the pin out of the timing belt tensioner have to know it is going to be fine it should be spun at least twice just saying
how much time did it take you to change out the timing belt? Yes you paid 300$ for the timing kit. That doesn't include the tools you used or your prior knowledge or your space to do it either. So if you have a shop do it for 1200 you can almost be assured they did it right and they can do it in a a day or so. You do it yourself your going to have to spend the time to learn, figure it out, get the tools and to actually do it.
Meh, there’s absolutely no guarantee a shop is going to do it right; thats a lofty assumption. Also, if you already have the tools and technical prowess, it does save you time and money. If the most you have is a 10pc socket set and the most you’ve done is changed your oil a couple times, yeah, probably a better idea to have a shop do it.
Yessir 🙏 pulling the rad, covers etc doesn't take very long. 2 hose clamps, two 12mm bolts, loosen the tensioner for thr belts and pop the timing covers off

My Subaru dealer is charging me $300 for the install, I bought my own parts. That said $600 for my timing belt and waterpump only because I don't have the time and space to do it.
How much for the radiator
Right now it's the only one I have that fits properly but prob going to snag a new one so I'll keep ya posted!
that one super long beard hair 😂
Was hoping on one would notice 🤣
@@Smeedia i was staring at it for the longest time
I can't stop wantching your videos !))

I would have spun the timing belt before putting on the timing belt covers after taking the pin out of the timing belt tensioner have to know it is going to be fine it should be spun at least twice just saying
I rotated it twice before throwing the covers back on just to help set tension but always a good idea to do so and to verify timing
@@Smeediaquestion, can i just install a waterpump without a new tensioner ?
Definitely watching tomorrow for that start😀!

I’m about to save me 1k on labor. Thank you.
Save that $$$ 🔥
About time

how much time did it take you to change out the timing belt? Yes you paid 300$ for the timing kit. That doesn't include the tools you used or your prior knowledge or your space to do it either. So if you have a shop do it for 1200 you can almost be assured they did it right and they can do it in a a day or so. You do it yourself your going to have to spend the time to learn, figure it out, get the tools and to actually do it.
Took me about 45 min or so and only needed basic hand tools with the exception of the $50 crank pully tool. 🙏
Meh, there’s absolutely no guarantee a shop is going to do it right; thats a lofty assumption. Also, if you already have the tools and technical prowess, it does save you time and money. If the most you have is a 10pc socket set and the most you’ve done is changed your oil a couple times, yeah, probably a better idea to have a shop do it.
@@Smeedia Including pulling out the radiator and putting it back in? and dealing with all the other parts?
Yessir 🙏 pulling the rad, covers etc doesn't take very long. 2 hose clamps, two 12mm bolts, loosen the tensioner for thr belts and pop the timing covers off
