HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- Rebuilt the Turbo on the RS due to a blown out seal dumping oil and causing my car to smoke. Thanks to Ruben at SoCal porting for the quick service I was able to pull it get it rebuilt and put it back on all in 1 day.
Top things I’m most jealous of Bucky
1 Tortoises
2 The Bucket
3 Blue RS
4 Rally career
Great video man! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
🤙🏼🔥
Oh wow, yeah Ruben Does TOP NOTCH work.. He rebuilt my Subie turbo a while ago. He's been doing it for a while now. Great guy, Communication is top notch as well.
He’s great!
coolest thing to see turtles on a car channel! keep up the great work sir!!!
Thanks, it’s every day life around here 👍🏼
Bucky as someone who grew up looking up to you in skating and then migrating into cars watching you drive and now RUclips. Best videos. Sick to see how chill of a guy you really are!
Thanks
I love those prehistoric fellas. So satisfying to see and hear them crunching that pepper.
You made that turbo rebuild job look so easy! I plan on doing a rebuild later on mine because I bought my subie off a kid who didn't necessarily treat it with care. I definitly learned something new from this video
👍🏼😉
Man the tortoises eat better than i do🤣🤣🤣probably live longer too haha
Awesome videos. Both are in amazing condition and done truly right. One day.
Thanks 👊🏼
watching those tortoises eat was very calming - more of them please!
Bucky. Your passion is palpable. Keep it up, man.
Thanks
Looks clean
Watched all of your videos in just 1 straight! love your content! keep pushing it! :)
Rad, thanks.
I would love to get that same service done to my old turbski! 160,000+ miles I'm sure she's a bit loose and worn out! Thanks for the video 😎
Honestly, best video vlogs out there.
Thank you
Always a good day when ol daddy Bucky posts a video
A helpful tip is spraying WD 40 where the turbo and intercooler piping meet. It slides right it ;)
Good eat. Nice Rebuilt! Go BuckYeah!!!
Bucky, you inspired me to start trying to do the same engine swap on my rs. I’ve been going back to ur videos taking notes and getting everything ready. Keep it up man!
Do it!!
Damn, dude. You all make this stuff look so easy! Love it. This is why your channel is one of my favorite on YT.
💪🏼🔥
11:38 that RS is super slow after a brand new turbo lol. I was tripping out! Its like im on a CBD trip and everytime you shift i trip out even more. Love these vidz!
CBD trips are safer then sugar donuts
Hahaha
Was considering a $3K turbo upgrade, but rebuilding my VF48 + billet wheel & porting makes alot more sense for my 100K mile overhaul project. Need to buy other parts.
I love these videos. So informative. You've made me pull the trigger on finally starting the work on my '04 wagon. I've had the parts for way too long.
No wonder this is one of only a handful of channels I subscribe to. Always happy to see a new video posted. Thanks as always.
So cool Bucky!!! 🔥🔥🔥💯
👊🏼
Sweet episode Bucky! I learned about the balancing- never knew that about the turbo. Crazy.
Happy birthday m8 hope you have a goodone
Rebuilt turbo while you wait. Can’t beat that! 🤙
I love the videos, so much respect that you can and do work on your own stuff.
I need help if I want to put out more of them but happy where it is!
Dug this episode, thanks! Covered some stuff i've wondered about when doing exploratory surgery on my own turbos.
Would love to see your channel explode dude! Love your content
Thanks
That’s one pretty swirly boi!!
love the tortoise segment
Damn that was fast.
Right?!
Hey bucky! Are you going to make it up to olympus rally?
Nik and I (Wayne) we helped you push the car onto the trailer on stage 2. Are borrowing a car and running out first rally! Will be running the same class itd be fun to see how we can do compared to you!
Hope to see you there!
Trying but not sure we’ll make the deadline. Good luck!
@@BuckyLasekOfficial thanks!
And yeah hopefully you make it.
Trying to put better diffs in that car?
Marvinight metalworks Yeah along with other things
Bucky: turbo rebuild
ringland: keep ignoring me buddy..
they did a compression test already
Ruben is the man!!!
Buck Yeah!
if you went to all this work Bucky ! i thought you may of pained the intake manifold with wrinkle red , like / or the same as a STI engine (gc8 onward) just for a lil more pop to the eye you know ,
It’s fine
Looks awesome Buck! Is that a TD04?
yes it is
BEst episode in awhile!
@BuckYeah What kind of insurance are you running on the buckit? I've got a swapped car with tons of parts but don't know how to get it covered.
Also, Bucky so humble, didn't even point out his poster on the wall!
Extra coverage, check with your insurance agent.
Yeah man 🤘🏻
Does that tort back up in the house? How the hell can he spin around in that thing? Oh and why not step up the Turbo?
Now take it all out and electrify it. 🤣🔋🔌✌️
Haha
Dude, you gotta start making SWIRLY BOY t-shirts now!
Hahaha
Following you from skateboarding, then your GRC days..........tortoise content is best! haha
👊🏼🔥
The inlet hose on turbo EJs is the worst intake known to man.
slightly surprised you didn't just put a sti turbo on it but i assume you didn't wanna mess with tuning
Keeping it Stock!
I have really bad shaft play too...
Did you crank the motor to prime the turbo with oil?
I’d like to know this as well
Pump up the jam
Heh, "shaft play."
Thanks again for these videos! Question, I am starting a swap with my GC8 to the same motor, what exhaust did you put in? Thanks, man!
Cobb 04-07 WRX and I love it. Sounds so sick!!
Thanks, man!
Bucky,
does Ruben do aftermarket rebuilds as well?
You mind noting how much he charges for a rebuild like yours ?
DM him
Hy there Sir do you have any video on how to install that front lip or any suggestions thanks love your channel
On my white car?? Yeah look back through my videos. Rally style front lip
Ok thanks sir
Should always run it through a balancing machine.
You should upgrade that Y pipe.. the plastic is unreliable and doesn't flow very good.
As always, great content!
I will be replacing it
go twin scroll!
I feel the pain, I have been redoing my exhaust today... nothing goes as planned.
Did you see a difference in performance after the rebuild? Does it feel stronger? More responsive?
Yes, more responsive and stronger 👍🏼
Powell 🎱Lager...🤓
IT'S TORTISE TIME!!!!
Buckyyyy I know you said to me that is your daily, but when can I see it on the track for a spin?
Maybe some canyon drives are in its near future.
@@BuckyLasekOfficial yessssssssss, hey Bucky do you still have your kart?
Man I got chronic lower back pain from when I broke my back as a teenager snowboarding, do u think cbd md would help me as much as Ibuprofen when it flares up? I’ll take anyone’s opinion that’s tried it.
Yes for sure, use code Bucky if you decide to purchase some.
I like to use a heat gun on those type of tubes before reinstalling
what does that do? Does it make the tubes softer so they are easier to put back?
@@jimrossabrena7955 yes they're much softer to force into place when almost hot
Was your turbo a td04HL ?
Hey bucky can you make a video of driving the rs ?
Coming
How much did the turbo rebuild cost through Reuben?
It varies, so just reach out to him👍🏼
What camera(s) do you film with?
GoPro’s👍🏼
INITIAL D
Mannnnn, I could show y’all some REAL shaft play 😂 before I replaced my turbo, my guy told me that was the worst shaft play he’s ever seen, and that it was a miracle it didn’t explode
Ummmm white smoke is burning coolant, blue smoke is oil
Ok
That turbo won't last long just guessing balancing,its supposed to be put on a machine,the tolerance that fine,(that's some back yard rebuild anyone can do that),not good practice,that's a $100 rebuild...
Wrong ... It was balanced there at the shop while I waited. Ruben is top notch!
Did you actually watch the video.🙄
first
