@@commandergeokam2868 i know first hand that subaru engines have their issues, but i got to thinking about donut media and the problems they had and i think it comes down to 3 things: 1. The desert heat 2. The long sweeping corners (boxer engines without a dry sump haaaaaate these, because it causes oil starvation at the sump and pooling at the heads and valve guides) 3. American cars are notoriously badly maintained in general, though i do think this is probably a non issue in their case.
I'd honestly be willing to wait for better weather to see a rematch on a proper circuit like Donnington. Dry, warm weather, and a full race track to really see what times can be achieved. You might even be able to find some more upgrades on the Bananru whilst you're at it??
Man, this is exactly the reason why modding a car is so exciting🤩 Beating a Lambo with a Subaru is definitely a magnum opus that deserves to be engraved in a car history museum!
I usually really don't enjoy the 10 min of "music + timelaps" kind of video, and i can say that you made the right choice with your narrative editing, and it was a really fun video. Thanks!
@@SkylineLofe man, you're complaining too much... they get in to explore, and even when they blew 3 engine they keep going... stop being so critical all of you and enjoy the content, maybe they didnt knew the plattform but they show to a lot of people what is to work on these engines
Now you have the car, try to beat that 1:16.7 when its warm and dry, it was a fair fight, but it doesnt completely translate to optimal track conditions, im sure Scott would agree 😁 And WE get to see more of the content!
I hope you have a chance to to do a proper lap with the subaru on this track during summer, just so we have a proper notion of how much faster it is now!
@@marioelburro1492 It also feeds the idea of the subarus being unreliable so its helps their fan base. Also bc donut media is a much larger company they have more money to throw around. Because more money is more views
Doing that on the standard TD04 turbo is great work. Staying top mounted but enlarging the top mount intercooler and mating it to the TD05 16g turbo gets you to a mapping at 340 / 350hp - for me that was the sweet spot in my Subaru journey. The 2L engine in the blob eye that you have has not really for the head gasket issues of the later 2.5. - Keep going and then take on something hotter still. Nice work. Keep going. I look forward to series 2.
Well done lads! This series was great start-to-finish. And not only did you beat a Lamborghini, you did it better and cheaper and less explody than Donut 😅 And here's an Idea for the next challenge: Beat my 600+hp BMW 1M. Good luck! 🤟
So, I've owned my WRX 04 Wagon for a couple of years now and it's not my first Subaru. I've uprated the brakes to 8 pot D2s on the front and got braided and new hardlines all round. New Exedy racing clutch and an ultra light fly wheel. I need a new exhaust next and I'm about to strip the interior but I've had doubts. Now I have no doubts. I'm going for it. I'm excited but also on a budget so... this time next year...
New it made 221 horsepower AT THE CRANK so 196 at the wheels isn't bad! All vehicles have a crank hp rating, but there is losses throughout the driveline. So all that power does not actually make it to the wheels. The 300ish you made at the wheels would put the engine's actual output closer to 330. Unfortunately there no set "this is what you lose" number and all cars are different. Some may lose 20hp some may lose 120hp.
196bhp at the wheels would make more sense as a before figure but there is no way it made over 300bhp at the wheels on the standard TD04. Conversely if 196bhp was the crank figure to begin with (which would suggest the car was somewhat unhealthy!) I don't understand how it then made such incredible power with the mods/mapping. The TD04 is usually only good for 280bhp with all supporting mods. My JDM WRX of same era made 273bhp at the crank with the standard downpipe still in place.
You guys did a better job than Donut media. Those knobs just set out to drag Subaru through the mud. Hats off to you guys for showing how to do it right.
Please pick something faster than a lambo and continue the upgrade, there should be still plenty of money and potential left in this project. We love Subarus.
This series gives me inspiration to build a supercar killer of my own... but im also skeptical, I'd love to see an outside pro driver's lap times with both cars in good conditions!
Ahah definitely, it'd be my dream, and they're inspiring me a lot too. Although I have the budget, i definitely don't have the time, patience, skills and motivation to accomplish such a thing q.q
Should install a proper cage & Harness for safety and do some more track days! See if it can beat a supercar around a track like Silverstone or something bigger
Something similar was crossing my mind. Stripping my Audi A6 quatro and going full send on the compressor pully. Then drive it with hearing protection *lol
I feel like the car should get the lightweight kit instead of this shortcut! It needs proper lightweight glass, carbon roof, harness, and 2 buckets then add in the carpet and door cards because it's unsafe this way
I feel like Donut Media and Driven Media have each made a series that gives a completely opposite view of Subarus lol
Donut Media is a joke lol

Best series that I have seen all 2022.... Every single episode was entertaining... 👍👍👍
I wholeheartedly agree. One of very few long series I have enjoyed watching in its entirety :)
I'm curious where high/low car would be on that leaderboard it would be great to see all three of those cars together on the same track.
The budget for this car is much lower than the low car, that would definitely be interesting.
Donut's philosophy is just "throw money at things until they work", the scooby wagon is much better built and would smoke donut's wrx's
Think this could be a cool episode idea.
This! It'd make a fun collab
I mean youve seen their lap times... This thing would destroy donuts high and low car
1:16 throwing some shade at donut love it

Awesome series guys - Glad to have played a small part in it beating it. Making it a sub 8 min Nurburgring car next ? :)
Someone send misha a msg
That car would definitely run a 7:50 something
@@drewlindsay3553 Sounds plausible, if the engine doesn't overheat or die.
For a sub 8 minute lap time, only a SUBaru can be the right car

Fortunately the engine didn't blow up like Donuts Subarus.
Apparently they had a beefier engine, which was the one more prone to blowing up
Not one not two but 7 engines
Yeah lol
Donut media are just clowns making "car videos" for kids.

by far the most enjoyable car mod series on yt in recent history, insane
Now make it beat everything else!
Time Attack car!

It already beat some Porches & Ferrari's

would love to see a dry laptime with same conditions as the original to see how much it improved over the original lap
yes sir all the right mods = similar to what i did to my SF5 GT forester = super great fun driving car !
For guys that supposedly don’t know much about the mechanics, you certainly did a better job than Donut Media.
That's because Driven Media actually did listen to the Subie community.
Unlike Donut

This way better than donut. I've been clinging to the edge of my seat every episode. Bravo!
thats cuz donut is made for glue eaters
Donut media left the chat. xD
I just discovered this channel yesterday and I binge watched the subaru series; amazing content guys!
Definitely one of my favourite series of last year. Super fun to watch. Keep it up guys
Now im finding it suspicious that Donut media blew so many engines but Driven Media (Overdrive) car ran smooth all series
It's simple: Donut didn't want to do the proper research and didn't want to listen to the Subie community lol
@@SkylineLofe plus it brings them more views since people like seeing things blow up. Must be a pain for their mechanics tho😭

More of this. Fantastic series. Watched all episodes twice!

The engine is fine, the 5speed is glass :D but I still want to see Driven media with 40k usd budget, that would be awesome
One of my favourite series on TH-cam, awesome content. 👍🏽
These shows are exactly the kind of stuff we want to see 👍🏼👍🏼
What a series this was. Very epic.
I love my Subaru. Glad y’all gave this one some love!
need more episodes of using the full budget. verse a better supercar

11:12 “just don’t pick something with a boxer engine”
This series was absolute gold, banana gold.
Watched all the episodes of the series. And I gotta admit rarely any other series exists that made me so excited!
This needs to be run again in the dry and if it loses then spend the remaining budget.
Great series much enjoyed. Thank you

I want to see another series like this man. it was amazing to watch and se the Subaru grow into a fast car
+104bhp on a 140k miles Sub from a remap alone is impressive. This series is sick
Please send the Bananaru down that track again in the summer, so we'll see the real improvement.
Why this is not on TV it's gold
Loved the whole series. Looking forward to the next series.

theyre both awd

That Subie looks exactly like my dearly departed '04 wagon. I miss you little Subie.
Just binged watched the whole series. Great videos 👍
I will now claim that my completely stock base model impreza wagon is faster than a lambo
jajajajajaja
Driven media did a way better modify Subaru that all the budged of donut media, congrats
Really good series this. Buzzing for the next one
Please pick something faster than a lambo and continue the upgrade, there should be still plenty of money and potential left in this project. We love Subarus.
Meanwhile Donut…
would be nice to see the subaru in the summer and dry road, see if it can come down to 1,16 ;)
this was very satisfying to follow along.
I'm excited for the new season
New engine, brakes, gears, wheels, tyres - this is Trigger's broomstick.
Congratulations
Well done amazing effort! Incredible!!!
I saw the title and thought... They spend 10k to make it brake down faster than a lambo? I was wrong... Still cool :) Greet from Holland!
Great content lads, enjoyed every episode!
I'd love to see the rest of the 15k budget get used to make it even faster. and test again once some dry and warm weather comes around again.
Enjoyed that.
Exited about my 02 Impreza 🙂
👍im shocked seeing a subaru with 300hp beating a lambo

All these subaru builds on my feed making me want one lol
Great series, but needs a final weight saving. Add a roll cage and remove the roof, doors, windscreen.
Should install a proper cage & Harness for safety and do some more track days! See if it can beat a supercar around a track like Silverstone or something bigger
I loved this series. Next up, '23 brz?
Keep going with the upgrades until the budget is exhausted and then compare with a modern supercar
you guys should go back with similar track conditions and see if you can beat the 1:16
No real experience, guts an entire vehicle
Hope to see more of this!
Really excited for series two!!!
This makes me want to track the progress on my RSX
Kinda curious, if you keep the interior can it stay faster? That should be great
Something similar was crossing my mind. Stripping my Audi A6 quatro and going full send on the compressor pully. Then drive it with hearing protection *lol
finally i found it the new top gear
So much fun! Looks killer too!
I'd love to see the rest of the budget used on making it even faster.
best way to end the year. thx boys
The power of two guys and a richard
Really looking forward to season two!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this series!
I think they should run the two cars again in the spring/summer and see what the outcome would be
who else feels old when he says its been 6 months since they began this challenge
Make the PT Cruiser beat the Lamborghini, for added points please try and make it look stock too for the ultimate sleeper!
Very much enjoyed the vids guys! Would be cool to see what you can do with a larger turbo
blow up the engine on the dyno
@@tomredman pop a hg and build a motor, sound like a good way to get a bunch of views ;)
Very well done
Now how about using the rest if the budget to see how fast it can go! And what supercar that is comparable too
Over the moon with the Bananaro!
Building A Lampo Beating Subaru lol!😂
I think Lambo has been doing that since they were known more for their fast cars than tractors...
if you buy subaru first you need to do is instal killer b oil pan it will save you a lot of money in future
I feel like the car should get the lightweight kit instead of this shortcut! It needs proper lightweight glass, carbon roof, harness, and 2 buckets then add in the carpet and door cards because it's unsafe this way
This makes Donut Media's Low Car look like high car budget wise. Whilst performing way better than high car
Fantastic series!
Super entertaining. Keep at it boys
