      @@ReelAnglerReviews You talking the inline 5? In canyons, or colorado? I'd guess so. But compression is probably about 10:1 so not more than 20psi. Plus tuning. Ebay turbos are cheap $200 amount, and are good for 15psi all day.
      Just watch out if you mean the inline 5 they have timing chain at front and rear of engine. Expensive job to replace.

    Dear Donut, I would like to mf congratulate y'all this video blew me away!!!! Many of these dynamics can get fairly complicated, and can also applied to aerospace engineering. The way Zach explained things briefly but informatively gave people the right idea of what they were getting into, how much they understood watching their first time through, and just how ready they were to tackle this. Truly a great video, keep up the good work! I've seen this channel EXPLODE from just around 300k to now 4.45 million its insane and it hope it continues! The amount of effort just put into the sponsorship ad is insane, they are actually entertaining I don't even skip them anymore.
    All in all, this was a great video and I hope you guys continue on the path laid in front of you, things are looking great for us, your subscribes, and you guys! The more people that get to watch, the bigger the products and production can become for us and it's been such an enjoyable journey thus far.
    Sincercerely,

      @@yamilmelendez2667 If it's an already turbo'ed engine from the factory, say the 1st gen Legacy Turbo (EJ22T), or any of the WRX's (bug eye and blob eye in this case with the EJ205), then yes. The EJ255 and EJ257 are great engines off the show room floor and if maintained properly, but the 2.5 liter Subaru engines have the worst of the problems of Subaru engines. Ringland failures, melted pistons, spun rod bearings, melted valves, and the worst of the head gasket issues. If the 2.5 liter turbo engines are built with beefier forged internals, MLS head gaskets and head studs, then absolutely go for a bigger turbo and moe powah babey. Now, the naturally aspirated EJ25s (EJ25D, EJ251, namely) are the worst ones to NA-T build. The 2.2 (naturally aspirated and the turbo ones) and 2.0 liter engines are the best ones from the factory with much stronger internals and have the least issues, and you may even be able to successfully turbo an EJ22 motor (depending on which one it is, and if it is a frankenmotor) for less than the price of an STI swap. The EJ22 motors have the same forged crankshaft and rods as an EJ20 WRX motor, but have larger pistons due to the bigger bore. Same engine casting, just a bigger bore in the EJ22. EJ25 is the biggest bore and have a longer stroke, but that's what makes them blow head gaskets much more due to thin cylinder walls and not very much support with an open deck block.

    Great video, Id like to add that it is top dead center compression. You noted that the valves should be closed, but for any body new to these tests, they should know that there are 2 top dead center positions. compression: where both intake and exhaust valves are closed, and overlap: where both intake and exhaust valves are slightly open. while putting a long tool in the spark plug hole is very helpful and a trick i use all the time, it doesnt give you tdcc, neither does lining up the timing marks. if the valve cover is off its pretty easy to tell either by having play in the rocker arms or visually watching the valves open and close or by the cam lobes facing away from the buckets. if the valve cover is on you can try to listen to the air being pushed out the spark plug hole on compression or do trial and error: if you have massive leak down on both intake and exhaust, you are likely on over lap, turn the motor 180 and test again. if you still have excessive leakage then you have a problem. If not, then great you found tdcc and have a good cylinder and valve seal.

    Got it top dead center and then started pressurizing the cyl, open the throttle, no sound, check the exhaust no sound, pop the oil cap WHOOSH. Immediately told me all the pressure is going past the rings. So now since then i've been saving up for my parts for the rebuild.

    For a leakdown test we use 80psi in aircraft piston engines. That's what I'd use in cars also. Except on planes we can hold the prop to keep it from moving off top dead center. With a car the clutch has to keep the engine from moving off TDC. So with 80psi it may start slipping one way or the the other.
