I 100% agree with you on RCM. I have their mods all throughout my STI. I was blown away by the quality of their CNC parts. I work in the CNC industry, and the quality blows most other companies out of the water. Beautiful tool paths, no tool chatter, no signs of any defects.
so many car meets today, always the classic sat at griots on 38th in Tacoma on a sat, after I got off work I drove by the sheriff station on meridian and saw tons of cars in that abandoned parking lot, gotta love it.
I actually saw a moto IQ video a while ago that actually quantified an air oil separator. He said on the street they noticed it didn't really make a difference. But when they went on a track the bottle filled in 3 laps and was overflowing. So finally for me that helped a lot.
Allegedly the 'Plastic Fantastic' has some really good flow rates.. I was reading a thread in NASIOC about intake manifold flow rates and what manifolds had the most even flow rate through each intake runner.
Much more uniform production process as opposed to a high volume cast manifold with residual casting flash all over it. We had a customer making over 550whp on a plastic Spec B manifold, back when that was a difficult number to achieve on a street car.
you deserve more subcriber bro ,so much good stuff and info on this channel and more important is you always positive facing a problem on your build 👍🏻keep it that way ,you are the best .
Subie life! I just picked up a jdm 05 gt spec b tuned by sti. Can't wait to restore it while watching this channel. So much detailed info I'm learning heaps. Also jealous of the "backup 6 speed" but I'll get there
Hey Tanner, I believe the hks belt is Kevlar which has different spacing specs for the guides. This was not touched in the video and just wanted to give you the heads up. Abuddy just had his Kevlar belt snap because he kept the oem guide and had it to tight. It eventually ate through the belt. I believe the spacing should be 1mm for Kevlar and 0.5mm for an oem timing belt.
Tbh I don't even use oem guide specs. I fold a piece of paper 5 times then use that as my spacer. But good info to add in 🤝🔥 That would not be a fun time to have to deal with 😮💨
God Damnit. I have hours of work to do. I go to TH-cam to put on music and ALWAYS click on your videos. Then spend two-hours watching Subaru magic versus getting my work done. Thank you?
The piece that hits the turbo inlet is actually the stock boost control solenoid. So if you are putting on a 3 port ebcs, that piece will go bye bye. I modified the bracket for my grimmspeed ebcs to sit nicely on top of that plate so it is completely out of the way. Let me know if you want to see my setup for reference. Loving this build!
Thank you very much for going over the pcv system be for you fulling install can you also go over the vacuum system on the intake, I have some ports that are missing hoses and don’t know where they go.
@@Smeedia Please and thank you I have the same Engine just in a legacy gt. I have still not been able to find the huge oil leak. But I believe its from the deleted oil feed hole on the passenger cylinder head. I probably didn't torque it down.
@@TDT0188 My understanding from the manufacturer is this is an element of the compact cooler core design used for this package. Turbulence is used to cool the oil as it passes through the core. The external Setrab core based solutions usually have approximately 1 psi pressure drop across them.
Still no tail light over lays? Smh get those done! I love the hatchbacks but the clear 90’s style tail lights are the worst. Either way all the other mods are 110% more important!!! Keep up the killer work!!!
Idk if you know this already but I was told to use the oem subaru coolant caps to avoid pressure drop on an aftermarket radiator. My friend had the problem and switching back helped him out.
@@Smeedia some future facts 😅 Subarus are still fun to play around with! AND! TH-cam memberships are still annoying… 😅 spent 20 min trying to resume my membership with you 🤣 ITS NOT WORKING! 🤣
Man. I love all your videos but as a 09 wrx owner I absolutely love this series and how this thing does will definitely determine my next step (FBO, stock turbo 1050id)
SUBARU!!! Out of all the cars I owned, I would have to say Subarus require the most maintenance. Even the small stuff that you can skip over on other cars you can't on them because they will lead to bigger problems. BUT OUT OF ALL THE CARS I OWNED SUBARUS ARE STILL MY FAV!
I really don't like the clutch fork and pivot ball assembly on these cars.. my fork failed when I bought the car and was a PITA to remove. Just go to the 6sp before building a 5sp, it's not just the gears and the DCCD that you're upgrading. It's also the little things like changing to a dowel pin for the fork.
Absolutely killing it with the GR content, I would love to see you do the 15+ steering rack upgrade followed up with a how to install video, I have my 15+ rack sitting in my garage, contemplating tackling it myself.
Use 4quart of redline shockproof lightweight trans fluid on that 5speed... Literally the synchro becomes bombproof... The only reason my speed need to comes out soon is because input shaft seal were leaking... And i have another 5speed ready with fresh seal to go in... Cheers...
@@Smeedia less shift required on street/strip pull.... I managed to get 4.46sec 0-60mph launch... 😹😹😹 Because i just need to shift from 1st into 2nd... On 6speed u need get into 3rd...cheers.. But apart from that 1 aspect... 6speed were always better in every way
Issue I had with putting my STi engine back in was the dowels on my IAG block were too big for my transmission so I had to drill out the trans dowel holes a little bit. Never had that issue before.
Good shit... had to trim a little off my turbo. FP green HTZ was not a direct fit lol. luckily the compressor housing is THICCCC AF. FP said go ahead and trim that it wouldnt void the turbo warranty. Ur rex will be done before mine lol. mine has only been gone since december =(.... side note. i have the same blanket and the spring is a no go. let me know if it fits ur turbo with the spring. i know diff turbo but still interested plz.
@@Smeedia Yeah... cant find info anywhere stating it. got the turbo in and it was making contact with the block. called FP and they said its not uncommon lol. trimmed a little to make it sit flush. they said other have added a bigger gasket to give it the room.
@smeedia lets service the transmission and differential with that redline cocktail this should help prolong the life of it and withstand some of the added power
Totally off topic for your video but I have a serious question/problem. My new top tier closed deck, pinned mains, billet crank, built heads engine from Outfront lost all oil pressure at the track suddenly. Has a new Killer B oil pan and pick-up, 11mm pump from Outfront. I've had zero oiling issues and keep an AEM gauge in the car for pressure and temp. Was 1st pass of my 1st race, hit the rev limiter in 3rd and dropped the clutch hard on a flat foot shift in 4th. That's when the oil light came on and the AEM gauge read zero. Pulled turbo oil feed line in the pits and nothing. Motor has 1500 break-in/tune miles on it, making just over 900whp at 43psi through a 6870, rev limiter set to 8300 so nothing super crazy for this motor. Most likley cause I think would be the oil pump pressure relief valve but I'm not sure it has the capacity to bypass 100% of the oil pressure the pump generates. Could also be that the pick-up snapped off but that would be wild, same goes for the pump keyways shearing off.... Any insight would be greatly appreciated, super expensive motor and I'm pretty confident it will need a refresh at a minimum after 8k rpms and no oil pressure. Worst case the billet crank and heads are also smoked from oil starvation.
Fuuuuuck, sorry to hear. I'd definitely start with the oil pump and work my way in. I haven't seen a killer B pick it snap before but anything could be possible I guess. If it were me I'd tear the pump down tk start with, pull the pan and check the pick it. It's rare to see but excess sealant is always a possibility on the pan. Some squeeze out can fall in the pan and clog the pick up too
@@Smeedia All great feedback, thank you Tanner. Vince Griffin said they had a oil pump pressure valve stick in the Eggplant race car and it ended up being fine after swapping pumps. But losing all OP at 8k definitely not gonna be good on the cam journals, crank and rod bearings.
@@Smeedia great just waiting for the turbo from hill country forced injections. Engine out beadwork done lots of new parts this week the mishimoto radiator and fan and oil cooler going in. Everyone talks trash about mishimoto what’s your thoughts?
Hell yea thats the radiator ive been thinking about getting i would love to know how it performs and if there is any problems with oil pressure like people say I have an sti oil pump on my wrx so maybe pressure wont be a problem but would love to see a video on it from a builders point of view so i can make my decision on that one or just a bigger CSF rad
Yo tanner your posts are like an above par gym motivation genie of the boxer lamp. Thank you for the videos and motivation good sir. All topgun high-five to the idoing vid.
C'mon Tanner, you just gotta mind over matter the itchy beard. I can't even remember when mine was in that phase... it's been goin on 2 years at this point.
Dude how do you get SO MUCH done SO FAST you freakin legend! Love the content man! 94k subs and growing! 100k here we come! You deserve it and more man! Oh. Also. Had a question regarding the oil pump Loctite. Is that something I should be concerned about? I bought my 2018 STI with a IAG Stage 2 Tuff block so who knows if the oil pump was installed with Loctite. Should that be something I get checked ASAP? I do not have an oil pressure gauge either. I plan on doing a bunch of stuff in the future all at once when I have the money after moving next year.
@@Smeedia Hey man no problem. I am truly fascinated by your efficiency and work ethic! It's awesome! And as for the setup. 29.5K on the odometer. I got the car @28K and the Short Block was apparently just broken in. So not many miles on the new block... Hopefully. Unless they lied to me. 😂
Curious about the idle.speed.on the Blubaru... It sounded fast. I just got a JDM EJ205 installed in my car, and we haven't gotten the idle.to calm down -- 2000+ rpm is a bit much. Enjoying the builds muchky. 👍
Hey tanner I wanted your opinion on a older subaru. Buddy is selling his 2008 subaru impreza 2.5i hatchback na. Chasis had 165k miles and the engine he had rebuilt and upgraded from a shop in Cali to handle a bit more power but he hasn't modified it beyond aftermarket exhaust and wheels. The new engine has 3k miles on it. He just imported a Mitsubishi legnum 25st-r and doesn't need it. Is 8k a fair price for the subaru?
@Smeedia gonna be doing a lot of work soon, just waiting for labor-day sales, and wanted to get your thoughts/input. I'm no idiot, but I'm no where close to a master at this stuff...doing it all in the garage. SouthBend stg 3 daily VS. ACT HDSS VS. competition clutch (?any?) - - - do you have any recommendations and why? TiC recommended S.B. (and I trust them) My tuner recommended ACT (and i trust him), and you mentioned competition (and i trust you)..... -Group N full mounts going in (eng/trans/diff/pitch stop) -Whiteline 22mm F/R sway bar + bushing kit -additionally, clutch fork, pivot ball, and clutch line are all getting upgraded with the clutch
HDSS > South bend >competition ACT is the best feeling clutch imo that holds power well. Competition feels like hot trash IMO personally never been a fan of South bend clutches for subarus. The only reason I have a competition is because the flywheel on the car only works eith this competition clutch. Otherwise I'd be using my act hdss. Other mods all sound on point 🤝
@@Smeedia awesome! Thanks for the input. I love the forums and all, but don't want to get misled by too strong opinions and otherwise unsound/unexperienced advice of NASIOC trolls...lol
@@Smeedia 😂😂 for sure but I’m gonna need another car for sure cause I got an outback but its cause mu old man lend it to me while I finish my Bugeye once I turn it it shes going back to my Dad
Just out of curiosity, is there any technical reason that you chose the Grimmspeed BB turbo over the Precision BB stock location Subaru turbo? I remember that you opted for Precision Turbo for the EG33 build, and with both the Grimmspeed and Precision Subaru offerings being similarly priced, I kinda expected that you might've stayed with the brand. I'm currently in the research phase of my own build and leaning toward the Precision 58mm stock location variant, but am willing to revise this plan if the Grimmspeed is the better option.
What’s your opinion on colder thermostats? I have a 1JZ which runs at 95 degrees Celsius but I live in a hot climate and am going with a colder mishimoto option. I know it’s not an EJ but I’m thinking of doing the same for the forester based on what you think about them for Subarus. Also I agree radiator upgrades do not help you run cooler it hold more coolant making it easier for the radiator to flow cooler coolant I’ve had to explain this multiple times to people lol
It'll open sooner, worth a try imo. It won't change max Temps but it may take it a big longer to reach those higher temps if your battling temp issues. Common radiator misconception out there 😅
@@Smeedia thanks for the answer! I’ll run it in the 1j as it’s constantly hot here and see what happens. For the forester I changed out the radiator and changed the thermostat housing to the killer B one like I’ve seen you do in the past that seems to help flow more coolant. Also have the cylinder 4 cooling mod. IMO it seems a good cooling system will help on spirited driving as it brings temps down a bit when your on open roads just cruising but also helps when in traffic if your fans work correctly you’ll see the temps barely rise then when the fans kick on the temps will shoot back down to normal operating temperature quicker then a stock radiator at least that’s my experience.
Considering the subaru density in this comment section I'm hoping someone knows this. does anyone know why my 6 speed fluid kinda looks like its getting water in it? is there a seal for the speed sensor? I've replaced the fluid a few times in the last six months and it still seems a smidge milkshake like, not a lot though. I'm using motul fluid each time. Thanks for your time!
It's nothing like chilling on a Saturday morning watching Smeedia maintenance. Subies forever guys and gals.

Allegedly the 'Plastic Fantastic' has some really good flow rates.. I was reading a thread in NASIOC about intake manifold flow rates and what manifolds had the most even flow rate through each intake runner.
I could see it, they're designed rather well and I would assume less heat transfer since it's plastic

The built-in oil cooler on the CSF radiator drops oil pressure by approximately 20 psi.
That's a decent amount 👀
why is this? are the ports too big? too much capacity? do other external oil coolers suffer from this but to a lesser extent?

Always the high point of my day keep working. That front mount is big and sexy
Front mount is a thick unit 🔥
C'mon Tanner, you just gotta mind over matter the itchy beard. I can't even remember when mine was in that phase... it's been goin on 2 years at this point.
Dude it gets so bad 🤣🤣
Beard Oil and Shampoo you don't even notice it after that.
@@paulkorobkov3658 Amen
excited to see this thing hopfully not blow up!
Lol same 🥲😅
@@Smeedia it’s built by you, it will be good lol
@@AZZY_1220 still a stock block and stock trans 😅
@@Smeedia oh boy lmao ig we will see
I know what your taking about with dust. Just opened my hood from my 2011 wrx and I live in Las Vegas. Just a sand box under the hood
Dude I can only imagine, shit gets EVERYWHERE
I can assure you that the CFS radiator is top-notch and you're not going to have any kind of oiling issues..
🤞🤞🤞
watching these vids very very closely to see what green speed compliant parts i can do to my hatch out here in shit cali
We gling to do what we can 🤝
Dude how do you get SO MUCH done SO FAST you freakin legend! Love the content man! 94k subs and growing! 100k here we come! You deserve it and more man!
Oh. Also. Had a question regarding the oil pump Loctite. Is that something I should be concerned about? I bought my 2018 STI with a IAG Stage 2 Tuff block so who knows if the oil pump was installed with Loctite. Should that be something I get checked ASAP? I do not have an oil pressure gauge either. I plan on doing a bunch of stuff in the future all at once when I have the money after moving next year.
Eyyyy thank you! How many miles do you currently have on your set up? 🙏
@@Smeedia Hey man no problem. I am truly fascinated by your efficiency and work ethic! It's awesome! And as for the setup. 29.5K on the odometer. I got the car @28K and the Short Block was apparently just broken in. So not many miles on the new block... Hopefully. Unless they lied to me. 😂
Yes
💪💪💪
Curious about the idle.speed.on the Blubaru... It sounded fast.
I just got a JDM EJ205 installed in my car, and we haven't gotten the idle.to calm down -- 2000+ rpm is a bit much.
Enjoying the builds muchky. 👍
Idle after cold start is about 1000 RPM 🤝 cold starts are around 2300 or so
Very excited for this build
She going to be a little party hatch
Hey tanner I wanted your opinion on a older subaru. Buddy is selling his 2008 subaru impreza 2.5i hatchback na. Chasis had 165k miles and the engine he had rebuilt and upgraded from a shop in Cali to handle a bit more power but he hasn't modified it beyond aftermarket exhaust and wheels. The new engine has 3k miles on it. He just imported a Mitsubishi legnum 25st-r and doesn't need it. Is 8k a fair price for the subaru?
8K is a bit much IMO I personally wouldent pay more like like 4.5K one
I think I heard you saying before that you don't believe in 4th cylinder cooling mods
6 cylinders they're a no no, 4 cylinders I don't care to have them kr to not have them
When I put my engine back in for the first time I thought it would take me long sense I was by myself but nope 20-30 mins done
They go quick when tossing em back in 🤝🔥
New fav channel !!
Eyyyyy my man 🥳🫡
"how many radiators do you want in your subaru?"
smeedia: "yes"
We need em all 😅😅😅
@Smeedia
gonna be doing a lot of work soon, just waiting for labor-day sales, and wanted to get your thoughts/input. I'm no idiot, but I'm no where close to a master at this stuff...doing it all in the garage.
SouthBend stg 3 daily VS. ACT HDSS VS. competition clutch (?any?) - - - do you have any recommendations and why?
TiC recommended S.B. (and I trust them) My tuner recommended ACT (and i trust him), and you mentioned competition (and i trust you).....
-Group N full mounts going in (eng/trans/diff/pitch stop)
-Whiteline 22mm F/R sway bar + bushing kit
-additionally, clutch fork, pivot ball, and clutch line are all getting upgraded with the clutch
HDSS > South bend >competition
ACT is the best feeling clutch imo that holds power well. Competition feels like hot trash IMO personally never been a fan of South bend clutches for subarus.
The only reason I have a competition is because the flywheel on the car only works eith this competition clutch. Otherwise I'd be using my act hdss.
Other mods all sound on point 🤝
@@Smeedia awesome! Thanks for the input. I love the forums and all, but don't want to get misled by too strong opinions and otherwise unsound/unexperienced advice of NASIOC trolls...lol
Man! RCM is fuckin top tier! I can't wait to start my RCM motor build. Good stuff Tanner!
Ohhhhhh RCM motor build?!
I literally live 30 minutes from RCM in the UK
Love there stuff ' top quality too
I have a fair bit of there kit on my Subaru
@@Smeedia yeah, they aren't building it but I'm slowly piecing a lot of thier stuff together and will be doing it myself. Can't wait!
@@ScoobySi05 Awesome dude! I'd love to see all the gob stoppers in person.
Brooooo I wish I could work my car with the same confidence u are 😂😂 man cause I wish to do all the timing change and put some new head gaskets 😭😭😭😭
Only one way to build that confidence! 💪
@@Smeedia 😂😂 for sure but I’m gonna need another car for sure cause I got an outback but its cause mu old man lend it to me while I finish my Bugeye once I turn it it shes going back to my Dad
Yep, the Woe!!!!! Got me laugh 😅😅😅👍
Wadena expecting that myself 😅
Great video I have to do my head gaskets on my 04 WRX
Shouldent be too bad to knock out 🥳 leaking I'm guessing?
Not gonna lie tanner …I think ur the best ..that shit looks mean af
She getting there 🔥
Drove bye your house today cars looking good man 🤘🏼
Creepin 😅😅
Just out of curiosity, is there any technical reason that you chose the Grimmspeed BB turbo over the Precision BB stock location Subaru turbo? I remember that you opted for Precision Turbo for the EG33 build, and with both the Grimmspeed and Precision Subaru offerings being similarly priced, I kinda expected that you might've stayed with the brand. I'm currently in the research phase of my own build and leaning toward the Precision 58mm stock location variant, but am willing to revise this plan if the Grimmspeed is the better option.
Today I dropped my ej205 in my blobeye and it was soo hard because half of the car was on a sidewalk. It surely was a pain but got it in 40 minutes
Yo that's not bad at all given the circumstances
So much for this being a lightly modified daily replacement for the BRZ 🤣. This was totally 💯 predictable and totally 💯 expected. Rock on 🤘. 👍
What can I say... 🤣
What’s your opinion on colder thermostats? I have a 1JZ which runs at 95 degrees Celsius but I live in a hot climate and am going with a colder mishimoto option. I know it’s not an EJ but I’m thinking of doing the same for the forester based on what you think about them for Subarus. Also I agree radiator upgrades do not help you run cooler it hold more coolant making it easier for the radiator to flow cooler coolant I’ve had to explain this multiple times to people lol
It'll open sooner, worth a try imo. It won't change max Temps but it may take it a big longer to reach those higher temps if your battling temp issues.
Common radiator misconception out there 😅
@@Smeedia thanks for the answer! I’ll run it in the 1j as it’s constantly hot here and see what happens. For the forester I changed out the radiator and changed the thermostat housing to the killer B one like I’ve seen you do in the past that seems to help flow more coolant. Also have the cylinder 4 cooling mod.
IMO it seems a good cooling system will help on spirited driving as it brings temps down a bit when your on open roads just cruising but also helps when in traffic if your fans work correctly you’ll see the temps barely rise then when the fans kick on the temps will shoot back down to normal operating temperature quicker then a stock radiator at least that’s my experience.
that 5 speed is only going to last up to 350tq even with the blast plates... lets go 6 speed swap!!
We ready for if she pops 😅
I love this WRX build since I have my bugeye!👌🏼 also are you gonna keep your 5x100 wheels when you swap? Cause if you don’t I might take them
I'll prob keep them for a while and just run the 5x100 hubs for now until I get everything for 5x114.3
Considering the subaru density in this comment section I'm hoping someone knows this. does anyone know why my 6 speed fluid kinda looks like its getting water in it? is there a seal for the speed sensor? I've replaced the fluid a few times in the last six months and it still seems a smidge milkshake like, not a lot though. I'm using motul fluid each time. Thanks for your time!
What year?
And STI or FA20 WRX (Also 6 speed)
Hey bro who said 4” ain’t big enough 😂🤷🏽♂️ the WRX coming together quick! Keep it up 💯
🤣🤣🤣
interested to see what you do with the evap hitting the inlet pipe. Eyes are glued man!!
Easy to move it, just have to unbolt it and put it elsewhere 💪
Copy that
How necessary is the company23 timing tool needed? And same for the one I saw used to keep flywheel in place.
I’ll be doing this process pretty soon.
It's not 1000000% Needed, BUT it will 100% make your life better
You need to pull the motor on Subarus to remove the transmission?
Where do you recommend looking to buy a 6 speed for the hatch.
Facebook, ebay, offer up 🤝
