STI Marty Edition would be faster than the GTI for sure. The 2021 GTI is 128kw/t, a stock 2.0t Levorg is 121.5kw/t and has better grip. The EJ+ Manual would just be too quick for the GTI. especially once they bin that 1.6t suspension. Then again at least it's not the GT-S Bilsteins :D:D:D:D
well the base levorg they swapped didnt come with any sort of nicer sti ish interior and now they would need to find a crashed levorg sti to swap the interior which youll have to wait for 5 months at least
Cool to see you got your mits on a 2 litre. Bit more go than the 1.6. Keen for my CVT to explode into metal confetti so I have an excuse to EJ swap it. Congrats guys, sick car!
@@taransandhu471as someone who’s had a GTI, I would agree if it’s stock. But a tuned gti with no hardware mods would beat it. Its a much lighter car and tune makes it a totally different car
Marty: - Big turbo (with big injectors and fuel pump) - Front mount intercooler - FLEX fuel - NOS(optional) That would TEAR UP Blair's Golf. Subaru FTW
I want to see the Lavorg vs Super Gramps! Would be fun to see the 2 against eachother now, and then after they do some upgrades to the Lavorg beyond the STI swap.
Big difference with the stock levorg in normal mode vs S#. It was never going to win regardless but it was left in economy mode basically, less "gears" used in the CVT in that mode and it's not very responsive.
Actually it’s quite the opposite. In „I“ or normal „S“ Mode the CVT doesn’t simulate ANY gears when Accelerating, with full throttle, ironically making the Car a lot faster from 0-100km/h. For the best time, he should have used Launch Control in „S#“ and immediately switched back to „S“ There are videos of people doing this on YT and the difference is almost 1 Second, sometimes even more. Also works in the Forester XT S# is a completely useless Mode
It's not even close! I own a 5th gen Legacy EJ255 atm, and have been looking at the Levorg sti as a replacement. The swapped version looks very interesting 🤔
Our STI levorgs are detuned compared to the JDM ones. They have 221kw and might be closer. Also interested in what the new 2.4l turbo ones will do. With the refreshed engine there might be chance for some new performance. The golf would absolutely chop however, launch control, new tech in the drivetrain, DCT is always faster. The golf has video game like consistency that it would hand out chops every single run
With Benny’s Cresta already in the states ready for Sick Week and Drag Week 2023 and Al & Woody starting on Kev the sicko can we expect to see the Levorg built into a drag car and shipped to the states?? Just imagine!
Great job on this build guys. Can you please build up a Suzuki Swift Sport Turbo 2018+, just take standy one and make it far less sad, they only weigh 870kg curb, so fully fueled. They are fun, my Nanna told me so
Yeah it would because bone stock golf gti makes around 240hp, and a golf r 315hp. Both of thosr are higher than the swapped grovel. But I am excited to see it turned up anyways
Hi boys, love the show. I have a Levorg STI myself and you boys just built the dream one which Subaru should have built as well. It would have been nice to have a fair comparison between your STI and the factory STI ( blue) using the super sport mode S# manual shit 8 gears, instead of economic mode I automatic.
its easy to say the GTI is faster with less Weight and the DSG for one lap. but with the Stock brakes it will have a hard time. it Always depends on the conditions If You Race in the Rain the Gti will lose and thats the Beauty of Subaru they can do everything!
haha i remember marty saying in i think one of the super gramps videos like 5 years ago. moog: "would you ever have a new subaru tho?". marty: "na m8, i mean maybe a levorg but only if it had an sti driveline swap". the dreams aint memes! he's fucking done it!
Maybe I'm wrong... However, even though I love and respect everything you guys do... I'm not sure I agree with you Blair. Just admit you guys did excellent work with the subaru and I'll consider your GTI
Loving the content!! Martys love of Subaru wagons is what got me back into cars again. Would be killer to see a Grovol vs Golfr video next! Much love from USA
Yeah almostJDM knows no manual :( but to be honest the new CVT isn’t that bad. I own a 22 wrx ts wagon now and compare it to my old turbo FG’s ZF auto.
The blue one probably lost because of the extra weight of that child seat. Those things are heavy! Jokes aside, great work on making the car Subaru should have made!
The CVT is a fickle beast. I put a HikeIT X9 throttle controller on mine and it made a massive difference to consistency with the throttle response. You still need to roll on the throttle to get the best off the mark - if you just nail it WOT you dont get good response. Hot tip.
I absolutely adore watching Marty glow over his creation.
His reaction at the end of the main channel video was awesome
@@ChaosPootato it was like getting the toy u wanted on christmas

The gauntlet has been thrown down: Stock Golf GTI vs Swapped (EJ25+6speed) Levorg
A lighter, smaller, more agile car with similar power would smoke a wagon around a track? Noooooo, never! :P

Golf Variant GTI maybe?
Marty's taste in cars is impeccable
The Grovel vs Supergramps ! We all want to see that one !
Isn’t there about 300hp difference?
You have to put those leather STI seats in the new one 😍
The whole interior really...heaps nicer.
Think there cleaner it all first

Thank you guys so much for the amount of content lately
make wagons great again ( although they always have been ). loving the videos guys. my favourite build series to date.
best hotrods are estate hotrods! my all time favorite was the late 90s audi RS4 biturbo, such a rocketship!
Moog always finds a way to not let Marty enjoy things 😂
As best buds do lol
Marty has built a wondrous thing of power and beauty and moog wants to play golf....
This will be whole alot more interesting if that baby chair actually had a baby in it.
I will volunteer to be the baby
Why? Nobody wants to see somebody's ugly baby. Gross. 🤮
😂
I used to own my15 sti, and I absolutely loved that car. Same engine and drivetrain in Levorg - I'd buy one right now for sure
Cool to see you got your mits on a 2 litre. Bit more go than the 1.6.

the gti would get chopped easy

The JDM one makes 21 more Kw over an Aussie one bringing it to 221kw. Be interesting to see that against the similarly powered Marty’s EJ25 Levorg
Back to back videos 📹
Keep up the great content 👏 👌
marty you have to swap out that base trim interior with the blue levorg leather interior - looks so good
those STI seats :O
you need them in the Grovel!
nah burgundy leather in a Subaru. Looks odd
just need either the sti sedan seats of the gt-s levorg seats. hate the red sti levorg seats
I like the choice of exhaust. You can really see it from the rear and the rear needed a change. What a GREAT car!!!
those leather seats in the factory car look really nice
Interior on the official Levorg STI looks niceeeee though
Moog, now u have to do a Grovol vs golf R episode
Grovol vs Golfr lol
Wouldn't it be Groval vs Rflog 😆
Marty:
- Big turbo (with big injectors and fuel pump)
- Front mount intercooler
- FLEX fuel
- NOS(optional)
That would TEAR UP Blair's Golf. Subaru FTW
Need supergramps there to get a real race going 👌👍
This is my favourite Subaru advert.
I want to see the Lavorg vs Super Gramps! Would be fun to see the 2 against eachother now, and then after they do some upgrades to the Lavorg beyond the STI swap.
Definitely a missed opportunity from Subaru here!

The interior of the "STI" Levorg is proper!
maybe a bone stock GTi will smoke both cars but it will never ever be as special as what u guys have built. the 1 of 1 Levorg STi manual. ❤️👏🏻👍🏻💪🏻
To add, CarExpert has Chris Atkinson do lap times at Queensland and a Tiguan R went around the track at in same time as his 2022 WRX lap.
That CVT lag 😭😭
Waiting to see the Levorg vs SuperGramps!!!
GTI race video incoming i hope. that would be legit
On the next episode of MCM TV2, the Levorg chops a VW Golf R!
C'mon Moog take your Golf out of the showroom let's see it lose :D
I feel a challenge coming!!! Build that sti lavorg until it destroys a golf r.
The child seat in the back is pure gold.
ooooo that maroon interior would look so good in that gloss black car
If the swap was done on an "sti" levorg it would be perfect
When the Sportwagon is done, has to be raced against the Supergramps!
Now I know who needed the BMW E30 that night, 🤣😄, Good luck to you MAG 👏
Gti vs levorg... 100% needs to happen
The golf is 🐐🐐🐐🐐 Marty as best car
"the best, most powerful one you can buy"
_Baby seat in the back_
Sti swap needs the STi seats in it 👌
it has
@@ibimseindino8389 no they had red bolsters which are not in there
They’re putting the STI seats in after they clean them and get the mold adequately disinfected. It was in the last build episode.
@@craigr777 yes sorry craig is right, i thought they were just already in somehow idk
It's not even close! I own a 5th gen Legacy EJ255 atm, and have been looking at the Levorg sti as a replacement. The swapped version looks very interesting 🤔
can't wait to see the levorg vs super gramps
Car seat casually resting in back...... Gets my nerd bits all a tingle......
I love that the stock levorg has a baby seat lol
Those seats look great in the sti
Agree with the golf comments. I reckon it would win only if it doesnt fall behind too far off the line.
You guys should build a golf r wagon to compete against the levorg sti would be good fun to watch and a fair comparison!
Golf R vs EJ25 Lavorg = sick race

No stock GTI has ever been near my stock STI. And god knows they've tried lol
Don't even need an STI - a WRX will do it.
With Benny’s Cresta already in the states ready for Sick Week and Drag Week 2023 and Al & Woody starting on Kev the sicko can we expect to see the Levorg built into a drag car and shipped to the states?? Just imagine!
I will eat one of those socks if a Golf GTI is faster than Marty's Levorg.
Why do I feel like a Golf R with a 5 cylinder swap is coming?
wow watchable content on the 2nd channel finally
It's gonna take... dare I say it... a blown hEaDgAsKeT to wipe the grin off Marty's face.
I reckon half the reason he got at car lift at home, is so he can replace head gaskets on his Subarus ;)
Headgasket issues were problems for non turbo engines not ej257:)
You needed some sort of panoramic camera for that drag race. We also need to see the bone, stock Golf GTI vs STI swap race don't we?
I would really like to know if a stock GTI could be faster or at least neck to neck with this levorg
I fucking love this car so much. It’s absolutely the perfect thing
Maybe a Volkswagen disposable camera might be quicker, but we’d fall asleep from boredom in the process.
Moog, that sounds like a challenge.
Great job on this build guys. Can you please build up a Suzuki Swift Sport Turbo 2018+, just take standy one and make it far less sad, they only weigh 870kg curb, so fully fueled. They are fun, my Nanna told me so
Yeah it would because bone stock golf gti makes around 240hp, and a golf r 315hp. Both of thosr are higher than the swapped grovel. But I am excited to see it turned up anyways

Marty should have hit the hazards after that chop. xD
Speaking of cool wagons, it'd be cool to see them build a Toyota Caldina GT4 Turbo!

Moog, get yourself a Golf Sportwagen 4motion and R swap it. The VW MQB chassis is like legos too! Wagon vs wagon challenge!
We just need some smart company to make a conversion kit and I'd buy one for a Levorg.
Moog should definitely do a big turbo manual gti build 🥹🤩
Well why didn't you guys show us it racing the golf gti or even an STI you stole the running gear from?
The blue one probably lost because of the extra weight of that child seat. Those things are heavy!
Jokes aside, great work on making the car Subaru should have made!
I guess we found the new Levorge grot. Time to put some love in them both and find out which is better. 2.0 FA or 2.5 EJ.
