You guys are absolutely killing it with this series - while the production value is fairly low its actually perfect for what it is - you guys are showing you don't need fancy this or that - you need good chaps with great chemistry and personality - and of course interesting petrolhead content!
@@S72MAD_faceless Riiiiight, sure they are. No clue what you're referring to but you do realize that one RUclips channel doesn't own an idea and that many channels do very similar videos and or ideas and it's in no way "ripping someone off", right? Actually from your comment no, no you don't understand that. Either way these guys are, in my opinion, MUCH more fun to watch than the Donut guys - nothing against them but they aren't at all my cup of tea and I suspect from the success of the channel and this series others agree. Demonetized for doing similar videos, wow, if that were remotely true most of RUclips would be demonetized. HAHA
Shame about the cheap exhaust. Should of bought a better unit which is would fit and work better. You had a big budget not the normal subaru owners one. 🙄
I don't know, I really liked to see them sort of fumble around and figure things out. I feel like they brought in a Subaru Jedi Master when they called you.
You may have nearly 6k leftover, but if you counted in Richard's pay after this headache, then surely this project is over budget! 😅 Mechanics like him are priceless.
I agree, I think also because this car is not too expensive they don't have to be very careful with it, they can trash it around. Plus the mods are closer to reality to us then let's say staging an Audi R8 and being " ohhh it's so fast I wish you can feel how fast it is ".
11:49 is very relatable, as is 12:25 Whatever you all pay Richard, it isn't enough 😂 Love the series! It actually brought me to the channel. Love how relatable the content and the hosts are!
as a wrx wagon owner as well. the up pipe is a dick of a job to do. for anyone watching who is going to do the same job. undo the two bolts on the engine mounts. undo the a bolt on the pitch mount seeing as youll have the intercooler off already and jack up the engine with a block of wood under the sump. ive removed a catted up pipe from a bugeye wagon and recently a 03 turbo foz this way. means you you don't have to remove the turbo. and, underrated mods to do to these cars. group n sti gearbox mount. upgraded pitch stop mount (whiteline, perrin, ect), rear sway bar and heavy duty mounts. top 3 mods to do.
Gotta agree with the other comments, I am really enjoying this series. You really don't need fancy editing or equipment to make a good video, just good connections and a good idea. You guys are really making something nice happen with all of these extra guys and involving yourselves so much. It's not like "we dropped it at the shop and they fixed it up for us", it's: "we got down and dirty for 2-3 days working on this, eventually we had to give it to the shop because it's just out of our expertise, but we did most of the work". Really adds a nice personal touch to it that makes me all the more invested. Plus bringing in experts to really give it a specialty touch, with Richard and Duncan being specialists in the field.
This video perfectly sums up what it is like to work on a Subaru, a massive ball ache but worth it when all done! Good work guys, and still with £6k of the budget left!? Get a forged block, bigger turbo and FMIC and it will be a monster! By the way, I think the stock injectors were 440cc's
Forged block for 6k is a bit much. You could do rods, pistons and an sti vf34 turbo, not accounting for labour that should work. A ej207 sti engine can hold about 360hp (with stock turbo) with rods/pistons about 400. Depending on how different the wrx ej205 is anywhere between 360 and 400 is possible
That dyno must be VERY generous. I have a 07 wagon and had to put a a VF48 turbo, grimmspeed top mount, id 1050 injectors, TGV delete, and full turbo back exhaust to get 298HP… with a 2.5 L…..
Wrong. Engine dynos measure crank. Chassis dynos measure whp. Since the engine was in the car and the car was on the dyno it was whp. Which is weird, because those numbers are pretty dang high for stock turbo and IC.
Been really into these series now, having 2 Subarus myself and did exact same jobs you did byself without any experience was a 'cancer', but gained loads experience . Funny enough I had exact same exhaust blow lol. Keep the great work, this is true enthusiast stuff!
It's pretty wild how big of a bump in power you can get from bolt-ons and a tune. Modern turbo cars are pretty impressive. There was a time not long ago where to see that kind of gain, you had to go from NA to forced induction.
If Richard weren’t around, you lads would be done for. I mean he fits a pipe that doesn’t fit, he does stand up comedy, he attends to medical emergencies. Multifaceted individual. Main character, no doubt about that
More racing stripes! More vents! Racing stripes tell the air where to go, for faster acceleration, and higher top speed! Each stripe = 3hp. More vents = more cooling = more efficient = more fast. More vents also means more holes, making the car lighter!
Ребята, вы не представляете как я ждал новую серию. Для понимания, я загружаю эту серию с ужасным интернетом уже 15 минут и смотрю при помощи переводчика, но это всё ровно стоит того! С нетерпением жду новый выпуск!
Dumping a bunch of dry ice on the sound deadening material on the floor will help break it up, hammer it to small bits before dumping it directly on the material and it will make chiseling it off much easier.
Great job. The juxtaposition of the downs of spannering to the highs of spinning it up on the road says everything about why folks even bother in the 1st place. Well done lads
Well you found out the key to Subaru... Working on them with turn you into a bloody unicorn 🦄 hahah quite the bump there mate but welcome to the subi life haha
I have been subbed since the first episode of this series and wow! It really shows how you don’t need much to make performance. I’d also like to add a ❤ for Duncan!
I spent more then 2k on my car so far in just performance parts. GDI 2.0t on e50 with aux fueling. Has 2 extra 42lbs injectors on throttle body that only spray under whatever throttle position I have them set up at. Helps keep my valves clean also.
Anybody still remember how the car still had to be "practical"? I wonder how fast the Subaru would still be with your moving stuff in the back of the "van:?
Just a thought but would an E85 tune be a cheap-ish way to increase power even more? I honestly don't know how expensive it is or if it's even possible with your Subaru but maybe it's something to look into. Also I'd bet you could dial the suspension in even more than it already is. Anyway I really like this series and very much enjoy the chemistry between the three of you (and shoutout to Richard too lol). Thanks guys!
I almost wonder if it will be something accessible with the turbo and front mount. But it is meant to be practical, maybe E85 would make it unpractical given the access to the fuel itself
They're in the UK which means you cannot get e85 at a petrol station. Also if they did they would probably need to go for a flex fuel setup to ensure they weren't just limited to e85 alone. There are more cost affective methods of making power when you consider these things.
Hmmm... Something seems off with that power number. I've never seen a wrx with the OEM td04l make over like 250whp. That Dyno must either read very high, or there's some corrections going on. You're lucky to make that power on an ej205 with a vf39 from an sti.
Spark Plugs: I'm reading that more expensive plugs are not higher performance, only longer lasting. The cheaper copper plug, or most expensive gold, are the best conducting and highest performance.
For future reference, to get the up pipe out, I unbolted my headers, and I took out the bolts that mounts the motor to the subframe, then jacked up the motor, should just slip out if you do it right. No need to unbolt the turbo
Put the vf48 turbo and the sti intercooler very cost efficient and works really good for track and then use the other bit of money for a 4:44 diff with the 5 speed transmission
Surprised you didn’t do a vf series STi turbo (not sure if yours comes with the td04 or not, in the USA it does) but we can find STi vf series in the USA used for 500-600 bucks, which would be a huge update. Anyway. Love this series
Awesome, my favourite episode so far. I kinda hope that you don't QUITE beat the Lambo, so big turbo and intercooler gets done. It's actually turning into quite a car!
Bigger turbo will just easily break the ej205, because u are already at the top of its perfomance i think. ~380 engine hp is a max power for it unless you limit the torque up to 5000+ engine speed.. But u deffinitely need bigger top mount cooler or front mounted one for more stable perfomance. Cool series btw! Have the same engine with tiny ihi vf30 turbo and 1300kgs weight. Goes 0-100kmh in 3,8-3,9 sec.
This whole series is like a wierd "mirror" of everything Ive done/plan to do with my black 5spd, 05 Saab 92x aero "Saabaru".. (wrx wagon). It already has a Cobb "stg 2" turbo-back exhaust & Access port tune. But I plan to set it up for AutoX/track driving as well. And just like them, my factory clutch is almost dead at 180k miles lol, I'm going to get the exact same BC coilovers, vinyl wrap it black, get new rims & tires, big brakes, upgraded cooling/oiling, possibly strip out some of the interior & extra sound-deadening (but not everything like them), and I also have an exhaust leak. There's several other things that are weirdly identical to them from earlier videos.. I can't remember all of it though. But awesome series getting to see this done on the same car as mine.. helps me decide what to buy🤘
I'd have probably gone with adding the bigger turbocharger per recommendation. That and possibly an upgraded drive shaft. Though, that's primarily because I get worried about throwing a rod due to excessive RPMs. 🤣💯
Swabbed 800€ exhaust into Legacy R and it took ~60 minutes with smoke breaks. It would have been faster if I had used a lift like they did in video. Research into aftermarket parts you are going to install pays back massively, both in time and reduced headaches
Little tip for next time... If you undid the engine mount nuts under the engine cradle, you would've been able to jack the engine up an inch on the offside to be able to get the turbo up-pipe out from underneath without needing to remove the turbo
Get a bigger turbo a front mount intercooler upgraded all the intake piping to larger piping like 2 inch or 2 1/2 inch Maybe recommend upgrading the axles if you’re going for bigger power to
No. The "burbley" ones have an asymmetrical exhaust system. The latest series of FA engines have a matched exhaust system and they don't have anywhere near the characteristics of the old engine (some even have CVT fitted 🤯)
The uel headers also reduce power too believe it or now. Hence the na ej's came with el headers to try and get a bit more out of them. Also the reason when races they have el headers
Just fyi for anyone wanting the most performance for the money...its almost always a bigger turbo, and as minimal supporting mods as possible. Stock location turbo, catless parts that mate with oem exhausts, bigger injectors, flash tuned. Always will beat out full bolt ons and stock turbo.
This is my new Top Gear. I'm a Subaru fan and owner so bias on this series and the KA off roader. Cheers for the constantly fun and informative content. ✌️❤️🤘🤙🖖
At least you'll have plenty experience when putting on that new larger turbo. My vf52 was a great upgrade for my outback XT looking forward to the next episode!
I must say, 20-30 minutes on these types of videos is the perfect length. 12-15 is a bit too short for me

12 to 15 sounds like pretty long to me.

Wonder how much go faster stripes would affect the performance
Like 3 seconds a lap
Obv adds 3hp per stripe
cant believe ppl still dk this🙄🙄🙄
Red paint would give you 5 seconds easy, da red onez go fasta
at least +20hp at the wheels
At least 69 hp

That is amazing! I expected a 30-40 hp gain but holy crap did I underestimate. Thank you guys so much for this content btw, the chemistry's great!
you make 40hp on a totally stock motor with just a tune, with way faster spool up.

Definitely intercooler needed. And with those supporting mods you can easily go bigger turbo
Easy 350hp to 400hp with front mount intercooler bigger turbo and exhaust, Walbro 255fuel pump, injectors and remap then your sorted boys.
A decent top mount would be better for this, they’re not chasing high numbers just a fast car
Shoulda done a down pipe at least though
Nice! I was wondering about this build for a month or two, I’m glad you three are still making progress.
FYI, the normal way to remove the up pipe is to loosen the engine mounts and jack the engine up on one side to rotate it out the way.
Yes I’ve been waiting for this for ages. One of the best RUclips series I’ve found, so glad I found your channel!
Richard is the man! Put so much effort. Should probably have gone for modifying a swift sport vs a standard subaru or something like that.
This series is where it’s at!, keep it regular!
The joys of subaru flat fours... loving the series!
Duncan just has the type of face that says you can trust me that I will have this car make power. Love it. Perfect length on the vids lads keep it up!

I’d also like to add a ❤ for Duncan!
My love for the Subaru will never die the rumbles from the exhaust and whistles from the turbo are unmatched
I was wondering about that exhaust! I paid $1500 for mine on the e30, I thought, how on earth, $380??? Riiiiiiiiiight, it's crap.
Yay! Happy to see subie again!
Now you can say blood, sweat and tears went into this build
Yesss, the Subaru is back!
Man I started wondering if I would see this episode before doomsday
Front splitter, rear diffuser, flat underbody (you should be able to make all of these with angle grinder and sheet of abs/aluminium)
I spent more then 2k on my car so far in just performance parts. GDI 2.0t on e50 with aux fueling. Has 2 extra 42lbs injectors on throttle body that only spray under whatever throttle position I have them set up at. Helps keep my valves clean also.
Anybody still remember how the car still had to be "practical"? I wonder how fast the Subaru would still be with your moving stuff in the back of the "van:?
Smh they back peddled us.
Supercar also is unpractical
The only rule they had was that it had to be MORE practical than a supercar. Which it immediately is just by having big boot space.
Thats a very happy dyno to hit 300whp on a stock TD04. A VF34 maxes out at around 300hp
15:46 I actually called it. I was like it’s gonna be an exhaust leak. I also saw the smoke and was like that’s a lot more than normal 😂
Stock turbo definitely stretched at 300. Duncan mapped my classic afew yrs back. Very good

Would be interesting to know how much more easily an expensive exhaust would fit and how much you'd save on man hours getting it in.
I'd much rather shell out double to avoid the hell they went through.
Swabbed 800€ exhaust into Legacy R and it took ~60 minutes with smoke breaks. It would have been faster if I had used a lift like they did in video.

At least you'll have plenty experience when putting on that new larger turbo. My vf52 was a great upgrade for my outback XT looking forward to the next episode!
Before even watching this I just want to say this is the most excited I've been for a video in a long time
