So hello anyone still checking this vid out. I have reaquired the same car after 15 months without it, it's in great condition considering having passed thru 2 owners since. Plan in preventative mods for now and a little bit of a different look. Gonna go wider 17s for the handling and more aggressive look to fill out the guards without any of the compromise that came with running the 18s I also plan to start a RUclips channel going thru everything and any future mods / drive videos. I know a lot of people are still trying to figure out this platform so I'll keep everyone posted
@@henrylind9730 currently on third party insurance, but upgrading to full comp soon prices aren’t too bad but are definitely a little high due to how high power it is, I suggest insuring it in your parents name as I have and it significantly lowers the cost
BEST VIDEO EVER !! especially when people don’t know about these, I just bought one for 5K 02 model and I am exalty the same ! First car was 2000 base model GEN3 and fell in love with the body and fine static AF with it and been working on the swap over now so keen
Thanks so much Scott really appreciate it. Glad there are more fans of these. Oscar did a good job showcasing his car and patiently waiting to see where this build will end up. Hopefully the swap over goes well for you 👍 Cheers, Daniel
Used to have a Rev C legacy with vf31 and vf32 turbos. Was a great fun car to drive. A lot of people dont like the valley of death as the first turbo sends its boost to the second turbo for it to spool up but I think it adds to the fun and gives you something to look forward too lol. Cool cars for sure
@@turbodan78 Subaru sucks on the racetrack, my Renault Megane 3 RS in Europe with only 275 hp destroy the STIs on the Nurb. My B4 RSK in Canada is tune for 94 and got the pipe thingy tbh I love the lag, the passengers are surprised when the second turbo kick in.
Yeah you just drive around, if launching stay around 4500 revs and ease the clutch out (not slip) and my stock 97 manual GTB does just over 5 seconds and high 13 seconds 1/4! Awesome Sunday driver, disagree about Subaru being bad on the trace track, even the old old models do well in off road racing.
@@turbodan78 Yep, i have to go a bit higher like 5000 revs after the tune. From what the tuner said I have 330 HP and it is a 5 speed. I think it is around 5.5 for 0-100 still really good for nowadays standard, this car is a sleeper. The car has a new clutch but i baby the car and the engine has 160.000 km, but i still destroy GTI and some Mustang. Tbh i prefer Subaru AWD than the Quattro on snow. IMO the RSK has a better chassis and suspension than the A4 B6 S4 i had. Impressive performance for the period, they are fun to drive and they are a super cheap sleeper. Plus i love the rumble, the previous owner put a zero sport exhaust on it For off road racing the car is too low, too big, not nimble. Subaru won only 3 times the WRC and didn't see that much Sub in the Monte Carlo, Corsica and Rallye du Valais. Most of my friends who do Rally racing drive Citroen Xsara, Saxo, 306, 206, 207 and Clio RS.
exactly, don't need to do much to the 02 B4. I have just brought a 2002 B4 not long ago and can not wait to get it going soon. The guy I brought it off was going to do the single turbo swap you spoke of, just glad I was lucky enough to of been able to of got it for a fair price and going too return it to its former glory as a twin turbo engine and watching this video has inspired me to hurry it along, cheers.
I had a mint condition gun metal grey B4 RSK when I was stationed in Japan years ago that I bought for $3K. Had no idea the icon I had at the time. And I didn't take it with me when I left. Now I want another one soooo bad, the car was such a joy to ride in.
Lovely cars to own. Had my fair share of GTB and Rsk b4's here in NZ. Reliable, comfy and good performance. Only downside is the thin metal on the doors and fenders that warps easily, gets wrinkled and dented easily.
I had a dark blue rev d b4 with liberty sti wheels and a full exhaust in canberra around the same time as this video. Seen that car around woden a few times when driving mine
They are definitely worthwhile, I was taken aback by the power this one had and hoping to see it in its final form. Might be worth a trip to pick up the right one, but good luck 👍
Gday mate do you no what the primary turbo is and if I’m looking at my b4 with bonnet up from front what turbo is the one on the passenger side of car ????? I need to get a new one so If you could help would be awesome man. Or are our turbos rebuildable????
Hey mate what tune are you running? Is it an off the shelf tune or custom map. I have a B4 which is stock apart from catback, looking for a remap to overcome valley of death.
hey everyone quick update as i know a lot of people are probably wondering about this car. after crashing it late 2020 i sold the car and moved on for a while. however after getting some things fixed by the looks of it and passing through a few hands the new owner has reached out to me and assures me its being looked after. we are meeting up later in the week so i can see the car again for some nostalgic reasons and give him a few spares and what not. maybe can get the car back on the chanell again sometime :) for now though ill be working towards the funds for that 300kw twin turbo liberty hope everyones well
Hey Oscar, I recently picked up a B-3 off a mechanic in moss vale by the name of Nick. Just wondering if this is the same person you bought ur B-4. Love the car, you had a real beautie, i hope i can get my hands on one before they are all gone 🤙🏽
@@McBandit0 Better leave that "Exhaust control actuator rod adjustment linkage" alone buddy. Except if you get bored and need some short term amusement. I have solved the whold TT VOD crappy vacuum solenoid line pill problem by believing one day a 13BREW on standalone will be worthwhile hooked up to the stock driveline via adapter plate...gradually refresh the '208 a lil stronger to take an extra hard hiding next engine swap? Yeah been keen on mine since spending 12k on it baxk in 2011,, just running a 3" stainless. Stock, same as yours - as a daily I dont mind ground clearance and non defectability. Would like a replica RS30 or Blitzen 6 with exhaust, tune, suspension, twin varexes and 3" dumpers out back for that EZ conversion accreditation and pretty sexy 180Kw unique "JDM model ambiguous" cruiser...as well as that blitzen 'kitted Rev E with non extravagant bullet proofing of that EJ - yeah more boost but heavy dutying that valvetrain, oiling, cooling, fuelling - ironing out the kinks to abuse with confidence. To that end a decent Haltech-Fueltech ECU with MAFless, boost control-monitoring, safe AFR's and additional features safeguarding the engine leaving it to optimally function. Having gone to all that effort and cost you'd hope it would be worth it for the status of the engine to be a known quantity...(!) Crappy aluminum plasticdash-centre trim, questionable blue leather seats went in favour of RX-Outback cloth and dark marble finish way back. The B4's (or Liberty RS (Pre-), Gen 2 and 3 (4 really isnt included for me despite really liking them also) are boss subaru's once the mod list gets ticked down a ways. It would make my year to see one clean and cared for with a V8 or 1J carefully piped to fly under most radars and being appropriately driven to successfully avoid encounters with some of those hungry, vicious road swine around nowadays. Blah blah - too many obnoxious WRX's out there to not appreciate our less fully-sick rumbla's more about lower rpm flow and y-piped distinctive sound - greatness for the koin outlay to get there....eventually everyone wants more. Will be keeping mine for the duration, and wouldnt hate grabbing like a 1JZ 1994 Aristo or Chaser Tourer V before they leave budgetary orbit. Sorry just my 2 cents in novella form for you to read before making sure I say GOOD SHIT, GLAD YOU MADE A VIDEO with the OLD GIRL - certainly been as fun and educational experience learning and doing everything to it myself over the years. Always be a soft spot for them, but best avoid unnecesary brand loyalty if the desire to sample whats decent on offer from other marques out there still burns...a few tasty morseld before time gets on and I eventually realise I might be too old to keep spirited driving as a priority. Would like to be part of an all BE5 B4 cruise one day - maybe I'll see you there mate. Just over 230 stock Ive had it up to btw....!!

Cheers man, definitely is. It was awesome hanging with Oscar, hopefully we'll get the Legacy back on the channel once he's pushing more power.

same year as mine but mine is dark blue.
love to see that this video was made in Canberra, just moved here two years ago, I WANT A B4 myself, but all online now are located in sydney

nice video!
I have a 2000 legacy blitzen, after hearing his exhaust I gotta replace my stock one!
Oscar definitely got his B4 sounding right, my ears are still ringing from being so close with the camera when he revved it 😂
Loving my b4 RSK. Great cars
Doing this video made me truly admire what these cars are capable of.
