Six-Cylinder Swapped Subaru Impreza Outback Sport - One Take
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- Of all the possible engines available in the Subaru Impreza range, one thing remained constant: they all had four cylinders. That's why we're filming this one. With a flat-six engine sourced from a Subaru SVX, and driveline, suspension, and interior parts sourced from a huge range of other Subaru's, this is one of the more interesting modified Subaru's we've seen. Amazingly enough, it works!
Check out more about the progress of the project at Evan's TH-cam channel!

MATT: Evan, do you live in Minnesota?
EVAN: Yeah.
MATT: Nice car. But, I cooked your brakes. Have a safe trip back to Minnesota.
Evan: That's ok
Matt: I also blew out 2nd gear sorry..
Evan: well it's ok
Matt: also blew out driver side strut..🤷🏾♂️😅 you signed that contract right?
Evan: yeah it's right here..
Matt: good I don't have to pay for shit then..🤷🏾♂️
Host: “drove all the way from Minnesota, I sure hope it wasn’t just for this”
Guy: *throws hands in the air, after being thrown under the bus*
“Hello darkness my old friend”
"I know, Subaru again". No way, keep the Subarus coming! I love every single one. Keep up the awesome work!
Agreed! Haha.
C'mon Farah, you dont watch Mighty Car Mods? They put a 3.6L tribeca flat 6 into a 4th generation legacy wagon, boosted it then called it Super Gramps
I don't watch anything. I don't have the time
+TheSmokingTire You need to drive it. Come to Australia some time.
+Lachlans Speed Shop id be happy to. Who's paying for it?
+TheSmokingTire we're sure you'll eventually get a chance. Do a one take on the builds of Might car mods!
+TheSmokingTire Matt, I like to believe I've been a solid subscriber/commenter on your videos and I'm not sure if this will come across as typical youtube commenter BS but you DEFINITELY want to check that car out and if you can get to Straya to do a one take...DO IT! Those guys have an international cult following which would boost TST and not only that the supergramps build and the story that goes with it is pretty epic. You might have to make the time to do it and spend some money but I think you'd see a quick 100k subscriber bump just from doing that car. Especially if you can get Marty shotgunning with you.
morning coffee + one take! = good fucking morning
Hell yeah!
Same here! :D
+TRF_Clan hahaha always
+TRF_Clan read good fucking morning in rich pianas voice
same........
guess us older dudes need to be labeled as the coffee crew. Seems to be the common position when OT's are on.
That exhaust note is fantastic. Mad kudos to the owner, that's a sweet ride!!
Mini version of supergramps (mighty car mods).
Yeah, come out to OZ and drive super gramps
this handles better
ya i think he copied marty alright lol, but still a great car
Just needs some tints and red calipers for that maddd look 😝
+TheSamplebridge I kinda doubt that
A Subaru owner with a curved bill on his hat? I don't believe it.
+koopatroopa187 Lol some of us Subaru owners are "normal".
***** I hate you. I laughed so hard that I swallowed my gum.
Wtf lol never seen a Subaru owner where I live with flat bill hats. Must be something more common in USA. Same with the vaping stereotype.
+AWD Spitfire It's a bad stereotype over here... it's a shame
+koopatroopa187 Subaru owner without an apple computer sticker on the back? Blasphemy!!!
Beautiful sound! Cheap cars with character are WAY more relevant and interesting than expensive cars that are too powerful and fast to use on public roads. Thanks Evan and Matt!
I love how educated the gent is about his build. Sweet ride! I'd owe it.
matt had a "I love this car, but we might die" brakes moment.
Cool combination. Super reliable rev happy H6 motor in a piratical 4wd light wagon.
+chipchip 6700 rpm is rev happy?
+Nik Brudar Haha :)
+MRsteezy123 For a 90's (late 80's design) boxer 6, yes. And especially compared to modern turbo all torque cars.
chipchip hmm i tend to think anything that revs under 7k thats not deisel is pretty standard, most six clynders have a 6.5k redline.
+MRsteezy123 Yeah it's not especially high revving, but I said "rev happy" :) They are quite happy to rev compared to some cars with higher redlines.
Matt, thanks for doing the one take and the kind words, its the most public recognition my electrical work has ever gotten! Evan and Jordan, awesome job and sorry I couldn't be there! Glad you guys had fun!
+Jacob Myers nice job! Now, brakes!
+TheSmokingTire Haha, for sure, we're thinking that the fluid was pretty old and had absorbed a fair amount of moisture lowering its boiling point, and since we live in the midwest (no mountains anywhere near us) we go years without replacing fluid. Not saying that's good maintenance, its just what happens around here. It's been bled now, time to beat on it to see how it does since the cold/snow is finally gone.
+TheSmokingTire Yet another upgrade he can pull of other Subarus! Gotta love these Lego cars.
+Jacob Myers Yeah when we got back after the drive, he was like, "Those brakes have never worked so hard in their life."
+TheSmokingTire Haha, for sure, nothing like that in MN. I did a quick calculation on the day you guys were shooting and I heard about the brake problems, a single 40 MPH deceleration of a 3400 lb car over 3 seconds is about 82,000 watts of energy dissipated into the brakes.
Assuming 40lbs of steel rotors/calipers (and ignoring a few other factors) a single 60-0 deceleration in 3 seconds would dissipate around 180,000 watts, and raise the temperature of said steel about 106 degrees Fahrenheit. This would add up for each brake use...
So brake a few times in a pass, and there's an absolute ton of heat. Thus the need for fresh fluid, and big brakes (or carbon ceramics)...its incredible what brakes do...
As a comparison a 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon edition with a 200 lb driver does 60-0 in ~93 feet (or ~2.115 seconds), which translates to 260,000 watts of heat dissipation for one stop.
Sorry about the engineer babble, I found it interesting, I'm glad you guys were alright :-)
minimize the video and just listen to it, it sounds so close to a older 911. seriously cool car.
+Lizz Le MEME Taka they sound more like a porsche with equal length header, its mostly the intake noise that sounds like a porsche anyway, that special moment when a porsche hits its cam around 6ish (Vtec kicked in yo!) that the intake noise like a machine breathing in as it hums gradually turning to a roar. FUCK I love porsches!
+Lizz Le MEME Taka don't mean to brag but check out my vids to hear the H6 go in a 2008 Legacy with sports exhaust. Porsche sound right there ;-)
Thanju it does but how?
dont be sorry about doing the same car its cool seeing all of them they are all different in there own way
Aye a Minnesota boy great car man. Much love from another Minnesota guy!!!
Truly budget project with nice results ... I really like this.
"I sincerely hope you didn't come here just for this," ... seemed to embarrass that guy. Possibly not the nicest way to say that.
nothing better than matts high and squeeky voice when hes lying about how fast or good a car is lol
What? Lol
When he says that, it's not in a bad way. It's underpowered compared to much higher end performance cars but it's good enough to be fun to drive.
+SI0AX i understand this
"good enough" is definitely the name of the game here. This is cheap and easy enough that I could see myself actually getting it done, unlike most turbo builds!
That's awesome. I'm Minnesotan and I own a Subaru, so it's awesome to see people showing off our scene over here. Hats off to this guy.
This is an awesome swap! A legit "backwards 911"!!
I like this guy! Computer Engineer, took his time and frugally built his stuff. I'm a Comp E student with a love for cars. Actually gonna look at a legacy gt tomorrow.
kudos to this guy for being different!
This is a great budget build, I love the sport wagons. This is my ideal build.
That's a nice swap...I think it sounds better than the WRX engine too.
Much better
Owner seemed really cool. Props to him for doing something different.
You should drive Mighty car mods super gramps
YES PLEASE
This!
How? Super Gramps is in Australia.
Walter Black >Matt flys to australia
>drives super gramps
>flys home
yh that was a real sleeper
It's worth the work for the sound. Although I would have left the engine in the SVX. Those are beautiful cars!
The dead zone in the steering goes away when you upgrade the steering rack bushings. It's rather bad with the stock bushings. Subaru uses pretty soft rubber, so every bushing has a ton of mush. I don't know if that's what he did.
Throttle reaction is purely the difference between cable throttle and drive by wire. The difference in response is rather significant. The nice part of the old SVX engine is it's still cable throttle.
Man, I love this one. Great sound.
You got extra points for not just jamming an LS in there.
However, please upgrade those brakes or change the fluid.
this is super gramps, junior version
was thinking something similar!
this is better than super gramps. no sponsorship money here.
i think he got scared a bit after the brake failures :P
+Frietpan That's a pretty reasonable thing to be concerned about.
+whelk yep, you need brakes.
+Frietpan The car probably just needs a brake system flush and a proper beeld session. Maybe a set of upgrade pads.
After that's done they will be good enough for normal street use.
+Frietpan Funny it happened after the guy just said car has been reliable :D
+Frietpan
Thats called intelligence.
Neat project! Reminds me of the days when Subaru made quirky cars just outside of the mainstream market.
Just a note about the springs- Subaru does sell the pink STi springs that are specific to the WRX wagon. I had these on my 06 WRX wagon, and I didn't have any issues with back-end sag.
The Mighty Car Mods build was probably ever bit of 30,000 USD. Especially considering he built the car twice. This guy built his car for 3k.
Don't compare the two.
Pretty much
I wanna Tribeca swap an 08
I have a 92 svx and a forester, I'd like to see some pics of the cooling system setup.
join us at "six swapped subarus" on facebook!
+Serveck Your welcome to checkout my full build writeup on the mnsubaru forums. google search "eg in a gg by eazy"
i always wanted to know how a 6 cylinder sounds like with unequal exaust manifolds fuck yeeees
So basically a budget Carrera 4S lol
Philippe Konrad emphasis on budget, yes. Subaru can’t really match up to Porsche in terms of dynamics, but this is a pretty unique build, this car is the type that will get a lot of attention at meets cause its unique... I would like to drive it lol.
I wonder if you can make a Subaru flat-6 sound like a Porsche flat-6
고등 지능 ODINS trash check out iWire on Larry Chen’s channel he has a 6 cylinder Impreza
"This is pretty 'Impreza've."
Badamp tshhh
I LOVE the quick "keep my head straight look over to see how far he's revving my baby" look that EVERY video has haha! keep it up
Minnesota Represent!
Not only was there no manual SVX, Subaru hasn't paired an H6 and manual since. This build is my wet dream, plus brakes, even the bug eye body style.
+Matt Doyle Here in Europe we can buy the "Spec B" Legacy which is the 3.0R H6 with a 6 speed manual from the STI. I think they sell it in Japan too. Would love to own one some day.
+aDaWaN Not since 2009-ish B4, but they are/were great cars. Ultimate would be the 402-series, which you can import used-JDM ones..pricey though.
aDaWaN rub it in. The 3.0 with a 6 speed would be my dream daily driver lol. Got a Speed6 now, looking for a Outback 3.0R for a daily right now, get rid of my little Lancer for something AWD to deal with the rough northeast North America winters.... wonder how much swapping a manual into a 5AT Outback 3.0 would be :p
zeroyon223 on the forums I’ve seen dyno sheets of n/a FBO 3.0’s get up to the 290’s BHP...
aDaWaN wtf? And TO THIS DAY the don’t give us a manual with that
Fucking bullshit I tell you
You should definitely check out Mighty Car Mods modded Legacy Wagon
"This is really cool, I really like it, it's different. Uh oh...."
I've got the same exact trans/diff swapped into my bugeye WRX Wagon. The 4.44 gears make the car feel so much faster. I am sure that is what makes this SVX motor feel more nimble (and just being able shift gears manually too).
This thing sounds delicious! I may have to look more into this swap! Thanks for sharing.
+Adam Smith I have a 3.0L H6 in my liberty (Legacy) With a cat back they sound aaaaamazing
Wow he's from MN too, and loves Subies almost as much as me :)
This One Take was tailored to me well haha.
+Dan Bonnett I'm a suby guy from MN too!
Aspen Look yep
+Dan Bonnett In MN you will see a lot of subbies because of there 4wd. Cause you know MN Winter IS HELL LOL
***** Lol right? I've lived here on and off my whole life other than being active duty and the cold/snow is totally fine.
***** I went to california once when I first got a car, it was torture! way too hot and the sun never went away, not one cloud to offer some respite from that fucking sun, I hated it, and from such an environment comes people who don't have the correct priorities of life and balance struggle accomplishment, they are mostly weak and lazy. I heard "how can you live up there?" a lot from them, because I couldent live a life that easy, I wouldn't feel alive at all.
Wow. In from MSP! That's a long ass haul!
"Brake went to the floor, oh it's back up now, let's put our lives to our hands and continue" 😂😂😂I'm rolling fam
Cool car, nice to see something different for a change especially when it comes to a subaru.
Sounds better than the turbo 4.
God dammit Matt, now I won't be able to afford that engine either.
the stock subaru WRX 06'-07' had sweet 4 pot fronts that make a good swap, no need for the STi brembos.
This ones awesome! Drove all that way from Minnesota that's pretty sweet! Bet it's fun in the winter!
This is one damn cool Subaru. Different for sure. Awesome!
I live in MN as well, and I'm definitely planning to drive a out to CA for you to do a One Take of my car Matt!
When Matt started going down the hill and realized the breaks were acting up and decided to turn back lol.
+MultiKillsHD brakes*
Bruce Berrios breaks don't attempt to correct me.
Bruce Berrios brakes are the working tense of it.
+Bruce Berrios and what if he was describing the verb?
It's "brake" you turd.
Mighty car mods put a Tribeca engine in a liberty wagon
Nice swap. The joys of owning a Subie. Owner: just slap on some Hawk pads and change your lines to braided and you'll be good to go baring any brake problems you might have.
+01FozzyS Hawk DTC-30's or Street Race pads will survive the mountains... HP+ and HPS, not so much.
Makes me want to UEL and Manual my 2004 Outback H6... Hmm.
+Randall Peralta I don't know what UEL is but it sounds like you should just sell the Outback and buy a Legacy wagon, with the 3.0L H6. It's the same as your Outback, but even better, for street use, and they come in manual with the STI 6MT.
+Jake Gilmour I live in the USA. The H6 *NEVER* came manual. Ever in the USA. The ONLY differences between the Legacy and Outback in my Gen would be the bumpers and the suspension.
+Randall Peralta Oh wow. I did not know that. I thought the US would've sold the manual 6 cyl better than the Aus market. They're not that common here, but you can find one. I guess a conversion is your best option then.
+Jake Gilmour It's doable, but a bit of fun. Our ECU doesnt play nice with the manuals.
+Randall Peralta True, would be, if you wanted to get serious you could do an aftermarket ECU and tune as well as manual, then you'd really have something to boast about :)
Guy builds and awesome all around car for less than "dubbers" spend on wheels for their eemkay fo' vw. Great episode!
Respect the Primewells and pronounce that long I, lol. What a car for the price, nice find Matt!
primewell is actually ok tires just more for luxury cruiser cars. I think some cars used them factory even.
+willdoryder My E34s OEM BBS's are on Primewells, I pulled my style 65's off to test out the primewells. I did one burnout and literally ripped the outer tread off one tire and it was swinging around like a flail slapping my fender.
+flacjacket lol good times
+flacjacket I noticed that the sidewalls start cracking after a couple years. The tread wear isn't terrible though.
+willdoryder My Jetta came stock with Prime Wells, and I couldn't get traction for shit in the rain, even being almost brand new
SuperGramps
+gonzostwin1 supergramps would murder this thing.
The standard WRX brakes are poor and get cooked or warped very easily. You don't need to spend brembo money on them but ventilated discs and decent pads are a must.
sounds just like a porsche 911
+jake chaplin Too bad no drive-by shot.
It really does dude
I'd like an svx with an still dccd ( driver controled centre differential) transmission so that you can give it a rear torque bias and then eliminate power on understeer.
Minnesota represent 👍🏼
The perfect build.
Ilove it. nice job! have a 05 H6 llbean and an 08 impreza....... When I replace the outback, I am going to do a engine wire/ecu swap !!! My year H6 has 250 hp with 219 lp torgue... the thing would scream!
mighty car mods has a Subaru legacy with a ez36 3.6 turbo
This gives me hope! Perhaps this setup would be good in a 2009 Forester.
Such a cool build. 200 Bucks for the motor NICE!
Yeah that's cool and like he said it's a work in progress. Lots of possibilities for him c
+CJSchecter96 that was supposed to be a period. Not signing a comment lol.
Supergramps..first that comes in mind when someone says H6 Subaru
It would be interesting to see what would Matt tell about Double Unicorn :)
I was going to say, Marty from MCM did super gramps which is a H6 turbo swap
+Kristian Svalland I believe it was a tribecca motor as well, the 3.6
+Alex Sweeney it was a tribecca motor. Very nicely done too
+Kristian Svalland aren't they running fairly low boost though? I know NA motors don't hold to kindly to boost. and I don't think they built or forged anything.
I would love a gramps though. badass car.
+Alex Sweeney high boost with e85 conversion.
They run very low boost. 10-15ish psi from memory
Why doesn't Subaru change the game up and install these flat 6s in an sti? Of course turbo
nice build man definitely made this car your own
I know there are people who hate certain cars, but you really have to give it to Subaru. They are truly "Lego" cars. I have had mustangs, Camaro, classic Muscle cars and my DD is now a CTSV2. Still my favorite build was my "1991 Subaru Legacy SS" Stock 2.2L Horizontally opposed engine. I took a 90s JDM STI turbo, fuel injectors, water-cooled Intercooler, STI exhaust, 2007 WRX shift linkage, 2007 STI shocks struts, swaybars, Brembos brakes, and 2004 STI wheels everything bolted on, everything was reliable. I added factory Subaru Boost, temp, oil guages. The car looked amazing, looked stock, ran and drove perfectly. The only custom item was done by Rob's ECU to make everything come together and added a 2 Step launch control. Really the only car I regret selling. I miss it. So cool, such a sleeper
How many times can audio possibly fuck up? Get your shit together man.
Very few times. But because I shoot 6 cars at once, if I have one fuckup, the net result is 6 videos have the same issue so it seems much much worse than it really is.
+TheSmokingTire that actually makes sense. never mind.
we get to watch this for free and you are complaining. cmon, kick rocks.
How do you not just feel like a stupid douche for bitching at Matt about something he's working his best to free, I'm sure if he charged to watch these there would be higher quality audio and video but they are free and filmed with go pros so give him so slack and just enjoy the videos I'm tired of seeing complaints on these
+TheSmokingTire bob doogie needs to blaze a doobie
do any cars you feel like Matt. can't have too much of an brand. subies are very unique.
Matt I told you, you're always welcome to drive Wreck Racing's mid mounted ej33 honda insight.
+Joey Hopkins eg33
Soooooo Dope!
I drive an 02 outback sport that I bought new in 01 and the brakes were not enough for fast driving even before I added some power to the car. The drums in the back are essentially useless so the front ends up doing all the work and wearing really quickly. Other than that I have had ZERO problems with the car and I have driven it for 280k.
Seems like you always have audio problems lmao
+HuffPuff Productions That's because I shoot 6 videos at a time, and my audio equipment doesn't allow for real-time monitoring (because I'm only one person.) So if I shoot for one day, and then go home to realize I've had an issue, that issue will appear in 6 videos, making it seem much worse than it is.
+TheSmokingTire If you need a Camera man I am available for help.
+Chancellor Barton Nope, the entire point of one takes is that these videos do not make enough money to pay people. If I paid cameramen, I wouldn't get paid. That's how little money these videos bring in. If I can't do it by myself, it's not worth doing.
+TheSmokingTire I feel yea man. The life of a journalist is all travel, all Ramen, but all fun!
+TheSmokingTire
Despite how many videos you shot, I really enjoy the superb quality and variety of cars.
It's really a minor thing with the few audio error from time to time.
Just you having and eye on driving unknown cars, caring out meaningful conversations with the owners and meanwhile producing the one take videos is hugely impressive :-)
Keep up the good work Matt
The Subaru EG33 is such a fantastic motor. The sound it makes....as many others have noted, it sounds like a poor man's Porsche!
I always wanted to see a six cylinder Subaru on a one take. My life is complete.
I thought a gen 1 legacy with the ez30r engine and an sti 6 speed would be pretty cool.
. The man put a frigging h6 in a impreza. That is bonkers .
The guy inspired me so I put a ez30 in my impreza L .
Farah said that the car needed more brakes so i got 2010 legacy fronts (11.5 in) and vented rear disks (11.3 in).
I thought it was going to be the flat 6 out of a legacy outback
I really wanna do this to my outback sport now
Do it!
Hey Matt, can you tell me where exactly you film these bits? I just bought an F355 and would love to take it up there.
This is in Malibu on Rambla Pacifico and Stunt Rd
+TheSmokingTire look up a car called Super Gramps
+Mokredit Yeah, I've seen it, but it's in Australia so I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that information.
+TheSmokingTire Hey matt check out Andy Forrest H6 twin turbo imprezza. Its a EG33 just like this one bored out to 3.6L running low 8's on the 1/4 mile. These stronger flat 6 engine swaps are the new craze!
+TheSmokingTire Thanks for the info Matt! If you wanna take the 355 for a spin I'm in the "area" in July. It's a stock black Spider. If I have the dough then I'll hurry and get it exhausted!
Mighty Car Mods - Super Gramps.
I drive a 02 Impreza 2.5ts and I always wonder what it would be like with a flat 6. Cool!
You love that subie, Matt! Awesome combination like others have said. coffee + One take = wanting to go drive instead of work.
great choice for a swap. Calling it back dated seems strange. that engine is crank and cam sensors, totally digital. Subaru is a leaping nerd on that stuff. I have an optical distributor and digital ignition in a 1985 RX engine (yes that is 31 years this year).. in a ten speed wagon, with peugeot wheels. Rochester carb, and a Spec clutch (450 ft lbs) made in alabama
I'd let matt laugh at my project if I was in the neighborhood. You might think it was a cbr 600 before a subaru EA82 boxer.
Drove the much latter H6 3.0 in a legacy and it was very impressive. Linear and pulled strong all the way. The SVX's were quite rare but I'd heard of these swaps before. With the exhaust the sounds this engine makes are rather agreeable. I'm not sure why this isn't more common as a swap formula. Sure, if you want more power then it means really screwing around to adapt turbos etc...but people do that on so many different cars and engines anyway... At least you get a much better base to start from. As for overall strength of the motor and internals compared to the EJ20/25's and FJ's I wouldn't know but this at 250hp NA with some simple mods is WAY better than a turbo 4 at 300hp. Cool review
It’s a rare swap due to drivetrain reliability. The Subaru 5spd is from the old 4spd Subarus without much modification. It can barely handle the stock 2.5l and we all know it’s not strong enough to handle the wrx even when stock. So asking it to handle the torque of the h6 is too much. And swapping over the entire drivetrain just to get the STi 6spd is unrealistic unless your a passionate mechanic.
The H6 EZ30 has heads quite similar to Porsche and it has a timing chain making it even stronger than the EJ’s, the SVX EG33 is extremely strong it was the SVX auto transmission that had all the problems. It can handle mods, looking at what they did for the F1 flat 12 would be a great way to mod it as they were pretty similar in concept.
Subaru really is the lego of cars. I built an 88 DL wagon with an '01 na 2.5, probably had 6 different models worth of parts in it when I was done. Also he may have 50lb more but if he stripped the ac system it would negate
+TheSmokingTire Did you get a chance to film the 111 for the smoking tire? Because the smoking tire videos honestly are a better review of the car. :) Cheers from Down Under
+Aaron Meldrum What's the 111?
+TheSmokingTire sorry should have specified. The Drakan Spyder made by 1-11
+Aaron Meldrum OH, yeah I had never referred to it that way. It's actually Sector One-11. I only made the /DRIVE video, not a TST video with that.
my stock 2.5 rs has really good steering, theres no deadzone
Someone needs to do let you drive one of the 6 Speed swapped SVXs out there. There are some really good examples of this car. Others have done a supercharger or Twin Turbo version of it as well. I have a 94 and 97 SVX. There is a pretty big community of these.
I wanna see you test a jeep srt8 wk1 ,, with a few mods , I haven't seen you test those out yet
Tribeca engine with a turbo on mighty car mods wayyyyyyyy cooler but still awesome
