I absolutely love everything the owner has done to this car. I generally don’t like how most people mod there Subaru’s aesthetically, but this one looks so clean. And with the EWG to top it off this thing is awesome. It’s exactly how I envision my WRX in the future.
Ron Watson "send it" tune FTW!! I am so debating getting Header/EWG setup. But dammit it will be easier to make more HP with a fp blue turbo for cheaper price like Ron suggested on his blog.
Funny thing I got waxed on my stock wrx by a v8 pontiac just last night 💀😂. Although my friend and I got smoked the dude was chill and gave us a wave. Much respect to that dude for not getting cocky. 🤝💯
My dad has a 2016 wrx and I have a mustang. I’ll tell ya what the subaru puts bus lengths on me no matter where we are and it’s a hell of a lot more fun to drive
@@bubbles1525_ never said I had a coyote or voodoo. Mines a 99 GT. Those 4.6 2vs came with 260hp. I’m not gapping anyone but a civic man lmao. And on top of that, Subarus FBO and makes 350whp. We’ve beat challenger 392s and 5.0s a lot man.
I remember back in the day when you didn't even need to modify an STI to beat a V8, V8 owners used to be scared to line up with an STI back then, today V6 mustangs are walking stock STIs. Smh
@@GriffinBlanchard Eh, if anything just more reason for Subaru to get their heads out of 2004 performance numbers and in to modern day HP numbers (which rumors say they finally did for 2022 STI).
This is an absolute awesome build, does the owner have a TH-cam channel? Still running strong on stock internals? Keen to see if he gets it out on track at all.
You’re cool as fuck dude and that dude was chill too. Sick WRX, mine is exactly like his except the headers and EWG off that Ambot sauce. You’re inspiring me to start recording. Subscribed.
@@GriffinBlanchard will do and already subbed my man. I noticed you have a Fiesta ST. I was a former Ford tech so if you have any questions about anything feel free to message me 👍🏻
2016 WRX also on e60 making about 400awhp on stock block and turbo. He mentions it making only 300 torque when it can make a lot more torque than that down low (I'm around 330). By keeping all the fun up top it saves you from needing rods unless you want more torque on the hit.
E85 works wonders for these cars, but its definitely sketchy. My tuner has told me as long as you keep the torque lower and hitting smooth it will at least preserve it. Lets face it though, we will never make EJ torque on these motors, but they're still fun as hell.
Goodbye to your V8? Sorry man, but I know 400HP is a lot for such a light car especially if it is AWD, but 400HP ain't enough to start talking shit on a ton of V8 cars and trucks for that matter. Some people's children...
@@GriffinBlanchard yeah I don't doubt it has, but not any of any mention with more than 400HP. With your power to weight ratio it would take a 500-600RWHP V/8 car to be any sort of competition.
If you don’t want to make much over 400whp and you don’t plan on heavily tracking it buy a WRX. Anything over 400whp or you plan on heavily tracking it buy an STI.

I agree, this one is done like i would do mine if i had one aswell!
Damn he drove it like a fucking boss at the end
he is a beast
How the hell do u only have 55 subs?? See y’all at 1 mill
Man you just made my week. Thank you so much. idk if your subbed or not but stay tuned, I've got some really cool stuff going up!

its all about personal pref. this thing was plenty quick and sounded fantastic, cant go wrong with either setup
thx for this brother, getting ready to install these on my car now on e60
yew glad you liked it! your car is going to sound sooo good
That sounds so fucking nastyyyy. I can’t wait to do this to my wrx. badass car.
it was even nastier on person. lol. good luck with your build!
@@GriffinBlanchard thanks! I just ordered parts for stage 2+ but won’t be installing them till I have all the parts. Can’t wait!!
Update, have all the parts for fbo including ewgs header 😎😎
@@hectorswrx7902 i just bought my ewg headers 😳😳
Buddy knows how to shift at the end
you right
channel deserves more subs. very well edited.
dude thank you so much. that honestly means a lot to me.

Don't we all.
Same
So expensive building these

Always good to hear a couple enthusiast being cool with each other after a race. Have people that get cocky.
Ewg on these FA’s sound so crazy. Makes me want to go catless
do it
Should get a mustang or dodge owner to drive this. I would love to see their reaction lol
i think they would be startled to say the least haha

Thanks michelle!
@@GriffinBlanchard Seriously Grif!!! You are a natural! xo
Subaru be like, RIP to your connecting rods
naaaaa
Did you hear what the owner said? 2 years at 400hp thrashing it hard and it's fine.
My WRX is 400WHP but I NEED EWG now thanks
lol its a must have
You're a natural at this, keep it up.
thanks man i will! your channel looks great

his hoody is sick
Your car does sound good tho
Does he have an AOS? I was told I should get one for my car so I’m just wondering.
not sure man! what is an AOS
Air oil separator..lol
Get an AOS for peace of mind.
Question how much whp can the stock motor and turbo can handle
gorgeous car homie but Id replace those rods...they're made of glass and will undo alot of your hard work🔥💯
It would def be a good idea, but so far it’s going strong!

@@miladzamani8758 how do you know?
@@hectorswrx7902 dyno tune has all the data 🤝
That thing rippps
Clean shots!
preesh brother!
Question does the wrx have an aftermarket turbo or a stock turbo
this is a stock turbo! crazy
Adam you look weird bro
I hear anything over 350whp on the FA20dit & you need to do forged internals... nice sounds, btw.
naaa you can get 400, its just a little sketchy. just how we like it. lol
E85 works wonders for these cars, but its definitely sketchy. My tuner has told me as long as you keep the torque lower and hitting smooth it will at least preserve it. Lets face it though, we will never make EJ torque on these motors, but they're still fun as hell.
Really you just need to worry about the rods when you get to 350-ish wtq
@@ErectileSceptile I've heard. Reasons why I'm weighting the IAG closed deck option.
Does he have the stock transmission? Or an sti one?
Sti one!
Did he do closed deck or is it still open
not sure what that means, sorry!
closed deck engine has metal support around the cylinder walls near the head. better ability to handle big power
Stock internals
What was the exhaust set up?
You got any specs on wheels, tires, and suspension?
Unfortunately no. His Insta is linked in the description if you want to ask him though.
What is all your set up ... list please
Is there any TH-cam channel or Instagram account that I can follow to see more of this car
Yes! its in the description :)
So freaking crazy.
it was definetly fun to review
The fact that 350whp you are able to keep up with an srt jeep
10:15 was so funny to me
just completely ignoring the turn haha
Bro did the same thing with my built sti hatch after tune day #JRtuned 😂😂 made 430 whp and 398tq at 28lbs boost absolutely roasted the cluctch🤷♂️💀
i LOVE the sti hatches
Did you cut those those things in your lower grille
yes
You’re a fucking bro, keep it up dude!
Day in the life video
its a possibility
Any issues with the eternal waste gate?
Owner says so far nothing but perfection. Adds to the fun factor for sure haha
Can youl list the mods?
Noiceee REX BRO
he says thanks
Yeah u definitely made up my mind i need a REX in my life now
Dope!!!
with 3 explanation points!
Bro looks like that coach from teen wolf 🤣🤣🤣
This was dope
Thanks man!
@@GriffinBlanchard no doubt. Got yourself a sub🤙🏽
@@Rileymoore36 glad to have ya
He sort of looks and sounds like Daniel Riccardo
Anyone know if it was the tial or turbo smart EWG?
turbosmart
HEADER** not headers
your right
Has this blown up yet 😂💀
no but its got a fully built closed deck now lmfao
@@miladzamani8758 what’s the owners socials
stock block?
yes
Holy fuck is all I have to say 🤯🤯
Mod list??
everything
Shoulda just bought an STI lol
wrx is stronger imo
Model S: Rip to you
hey hey hey man i dont want any trouble
Yeah right lol
What's his social media?
its in the description!
Rip v8? But I drive a 2020 gt500 though. But won't be stock for long. So confident I'll beat this WRX. Rather a golf r for power though.
golf r's are very cool for sure. Thanks for the comment!
Such a shame every model since 2000 has been hideous. New ones just look like prius'.
hey hey hey man cmon hahaha. your low key right. Just more of an incentive to build it to the max i guess!
Honda Accord. Ugh. I have a 21
need this dudes new insta I have so many questions lol

Great car. Cringe music for you dude. . . Confusion.
All the money you spent you should have gotten a sti
just personal preference in terms of the motor. sti's are fantastic though
Nah
Nope the fa is better. No timing belt no ring land failure and much better efficiency.
If you don’t want to make much over 400whp and you don’t plan on heavily tracking it buy a WRX. Anything over 400whp or you plan on heavily tracking it buy an STI.
