Howzit Bucky! Love your passion and enthusiasm for these Imprezas. I'm an original owner of my project 98 RSTi widebody. You have inspired me to get off my butt and finish my nearly 30 year project. Keep these videos coming!! Mahalo!!
Good stuff!! Thank you for doing these videos. Same thing happened to me when I did the timing belt on my ej18, totally had the same reaction and thought I had just ruined my motor 😂 keep em’ coming Bucky!! 🤙🏼✨
I mean, they're not designed TOO fail, the terminology is cycle limit or cycle life (dads in manufacturing). Meaning they're only rated for so many cycles. Excited for ya' Buck!
Hell ya brotha was waiting for this definitely will be getting information so I can do it to mine. ill definitely be getting my harness from iwire. Thank you for the videos brother really appreciate it. Amen keep them coming.
I read on a forum on "the rosa parks" pretty messed up but i never forget it. A few years ago I starting. Working on subarus. So far ive replaced a head gasket, swapped an ej20 from a tt legacy- swapped everything to put it in a wrx wagon. Currently doing an ej20x into a baja. Been a fan of Bucky since the early tony hawk days of skating. Btw seen that signed deck at the bbq joint in vegas!
That's a dangerous way to remove the timing belt. You chance banging valves together and bending a stem. Company 23 makes a cam holding tool for the left bank to hold the cams in place. This tool also makes it much easier to install a new belt. Also removing spark plugs first makes things easier. It is pretty cool that Iwire has the connectors on hand. Especially the coil connectors. I'll have to remember that. Pro Tip: Keep the pin that is used to hold the timing belt tensioner pulley in. It works really well to de-pin the electrical connectors. You just need to file the tip on the pin into a chisel end.
One thing left is that the air intake on the top isn’t there cause in Japan, the air intake are on the top on every models including these GC8 models that used in rally.
Awesome video giving me some help deciding what engine to get for my swap. So when i get my engine i need to make sure it has throttle cable, obtain from reputable importer, have it compression checked, all the harnesses without being cut, and also the JDM ecu and thats it ? So far thats what i saw in thia series. Thanks for the help!
Allowing the valves to crash back up onto the head is NOT fine. Great way to break a valve. You should have had some sort of tool, like the one Company 23 sells, to hold the cam pulleys in place.
i mean for management and keeping it alive maybe the next guy will keep it straight for the next guy XD i dont know wtf is the car industry doing but beside people who repair and pimp old stuff the new stuff is so boring.
Hello bro I have friend he has nice rs for sale no rust I'm thinking to buying it .. If you dont mine how much cost engine swap My friend asking 6.800 I jus wanna see if worth it to go this way And thank you so much
Just let rodent's eat your plant based Subaru wiring leave your car parked outside in Nor Cal for a winter and they will chew Spark Plug wires, Engine Wire Harness and fuel harness then call your insurance and have them pay for it! That's what I did!
mobile phones kill all the sound, nice work keep on going
SORRY ABOUT THE AUDIO EVERYONE 🙏🏻😤 I think I figured out the issue but I don’t think it’s bad enough to have to upload another video.
At first I thought it was my phone. Still a killer video. Thanks for the amazing content! Keep it up Bucky. Excited to see the final results!
Im glad you mentioned it i thought i was trippin.
That look of panic when you took the belt off was priceless! 😂

Rad!! Get after it and have some fun 👊🏼😉
"you see that spring loaded" ......... yeeeeeah (
panic face) lol. Awesome job i love when you work with the Iwire guys
I'm thinking about doing this swap in my '99 RS so this series of videos is really helpful.
Slowly but surely. Got some good tips on this refresh. Enjoy all your vids, keep looking forward to the next
Very nice video ! So many gems of subie knowledge ! Jdm 205s are awesome I loveeeeeeee avcs
I remember having my harness done by IWire. They replaced my MAF plug at no cost. The best I’d say!!!
Thanks for doing this, I'm tossing around the idea of doing the same swap. It really answered a lot of questions for me.
Awesome!
Thank you so much for this in depth build! I can’t wait to build along side you guys.
💪🏼
Great work guys! Can’t wait for the next video!!
Yet again a Great Video, you are Sooooooo Lucky
kudos guys this is very good information will save many ppl many a headache or broken project.
Good stuff!! Thank you for doing these videos. Same thing happened to me when I did the timing belt on my ej18, totally had the same reaction and thought I had just ruined my motor 😂 keep em’ coming Bucky!! 🤙🏼✨
Not bad for the first time for swapping a pig tail connector brother. Better then my first time.
Haha👍🏼
15:35 i was waiting for the 🎶 "Freshy Freshy song. So fresh and so clean" 🎵
Can't wait to see that beauty 😍 running.
great video bucky!! i love your vids man, always so awesome to watch 👍🏿
Thank you
Great work. So interesting.
Can't wait to hear this thing hum!!!
P.S. Audio was fine, dude. no worries.
Rad, I can’t wait👍🏼
thats one clean EJ205 no oil stains in the heads!!!
👍🏼👍🏼
Another great one Bucky! Looking geeeewd!
"Awesome Monster" So wholesome 😂
That RS is super clean 👌

;) For sure. Glass half empty would say planned obsolescence and glass half full would be cycle life. lol
Hell ya brotha was waiting for this definitely will be getting information so I can do it to mine. ill definitely be getting my harness from iwire. Thank you for the videos brother really appreciate it. Amen keep them coming.
Lance new name is the Professor!! 👨🏫
Can't wait to see it in the car Bucky..gonna be sweeeet!
Thanks Bucky on the 101 lesson on a Subaru motor for the unkowning.

I love this build it’s so beautiful 🤩
wow!! buck is amazing! see u man!
thanks for your work
🙏🏻
Great video. Probably the most detailed how-to-swap tutorial I’ve seen on YT. Is it really that easy!?!
Well, I am surrounded by probably the best in the biz so that has to be noted.
yooo- Victor Zsasz knows a lot about Subarus
Sweet. Love these vids.
GFB light weight pully kit would have been a good option when doing the belt. GFB all the things

Fortunate as an Aussie that I have the exact same motor in my 03 wagon
Nice video but there was some problems with audio not sure its microphone or YT problems anyone got same ?
Same.
Same.
Yeah, it happens to me every once in a while. Not totally sure what causes it but it pisses me off.
Fab 💡!!! I love the backseat delete, but I’m wanting to do it to my 91audi Quattro. Any shops that do a custom backseat delete job!??
Boom! Anotha one!
She's a beaut Clark!

Fun time doing a timing belt on the subi
Very kool
My dad was your friend as a teenager my dad is James “Jimmy” Collier
👍🏼
I had the same scare when the cam sprocket sprung
What did you torque the crank pulls to 96ftlbs or 130ftlb?? Also, ATI dampeners are amazing and engine savers
Yp, I got a 2004 STi that needs a sand and paint! Wanna come up to Seattle and Vlog us doing it? Lol
Ummmmm😂
Nice work! That cam gear scared me too haha! What are you guys going to do for an ECU and body loom?
IWire has it all handled.
That's what she said!!! @3:01 and 5:36 LOL hahahaha
yee!

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't that same team build the bad apple's engine management system from throtl?
That guy knows his stuff!!!
I'm excited for this build it's going to be awsome!
Is there a reason to go with the 205 instead of the 207? Just curious and not too familiar with the ej20 series engines.
Cheaper 👍🏼
I would have gone through 20 of those sick white tees working on a car. Hell I'd go through 1 before I leave the house
The brake cleaner got him👍🏼😂
I thought you have to swap the jdm sprockets to usdm?
just curious, what power are you looking to push out of the rs with the 205?
It’ll be stock numbers since I’m not modifying anything really.
@@BuckyLasekOfficial That's awesome man, excited to see what goes on with this build!
Was any usdm ej205 parts swapped over to the jdm motor? The crank gear looked like a usdm one main reason i ask.
Nope, all JDM since they are the same for this generation of 205 - www.iwireservices.com/post/subaru-ej205-breakdown
iWire Subaru Wiring Services so will this be running with a jdm ecu?
@@Retro8itmods yup, we typically recommend utilizing the ECU that matches the engine for any swal
iWire Subaru Wiring Services sorry for all the questions, what about emissions when that time comes?
@@Retro8itmods That is a potential issue and the solution will depend on where you live.
1s in the video... and.. "Like".
I'll edit the post to add something relevant if needed! :D
You should watch the whole series on the bucket (the other car ) that was awesome too
@@elsrflanders1545 been here since ep1! :)
What plugs did you put in?
Why not check the valve clearence?
I need that stock ej251 motor!
Why did you go with a JDM 205 and not a US 205?
Cheaper
SUCH SHINY...clearly the RS has not been to the sendlot.
It’s been to other spots and has the rock chips to prove it 👊🏼😉
hey mate love the content...ive had a few gc/gd and really would like to show you some of my work..can i send you some pics?
Sure, DM me on my Instagram 👍🏼
BuckYeah cool mate..your a legend! I’m jordanliajswiftdesign on Instagram
Meister der Schwerkraft wie wäre es mit einem 2takt Gokart🏁
What version is your ej205?
Drive by cable dual AVCS
You sure don't want stage 2 Brian Crower Cams? its only $700 USD.
Skateboarder/Driver which one is your favorite?
It’s a tie!
New rings? Injectors hone the block would have be nicer. I guess compression was good but still if your that far into it.
Bucky, how many miles do you have on that body?
That’s a weird way of asking how old someone is...
Ryan Z Haha
170k
@@BuckyLasekOfficial She looks super clean for all those miles! I have a Sedona red 2000 RS sedan with 50k. The paintwork could use some elbow grease

Hello bro I have friend he has nice rs for sale no rust I'm thinking to buying it ..
If you dont mine how much cost engine swap
My friend asking 6.800 I jus wanna see if worth it to go this way
And thank you so much
It’ll be few thousand plus or minus depending on which motor/transmission set up you choose.
Thank you so much really your the best
And you deserve the best
Those sparkplugs do not look the same, It looks like you installed sparkplugs for a 2.5 and not a 2.0. The ones you installed are so much longer
Hahaha, can’t get anything past you can I. 😂😂
