I’m 4 hours from Spokane, I have a new in box 2018 type RA block & new IAG top feed rails and other miscellaneous pieces. Also hit you up about the 04 sti, aspen white 116k miles. Clean title.
Subaru sells the type RA shortblock for like 2k straight from the dealer, pick one of those up or order one online! Don’t put that open deck block in, its 100% gonna blow if you intend on doing anything to it
@@dadstro the good thing about devin is that he does everything himself- unlike most other youtubers who will work with a tonne of companys, most often leech of them. Cant stand that stuff.
An STI 6 speed will not work in a BRZ. AWD for one, and the way the shifter mounts is completely different. On top of that I'm sure there's a lot more that wont work.
@@GD7LTD Granted I haven't done it but I'm told they bolt straight into a Levorg which is also an FA motor. Shifter mounts to the gearbox, WRX RWD conversions have been around for decades
Devin, you should invest in a one piece 10mm allen socket. Those two pieces always snap. Using a dab of grinding compound will also aid in preventing the allen from slipping in the bolt.
Devin the best luck ive had on the cam gears is cutting a little bit off of the end of the socket. making it just barely long enough to fit inside of the bolt. it makes it next to impossible for it to break. your SK one broke because the shank was too long. hope this helps in the future boss! (i cut about 1/4" off the length of my allen socket)
Good game plan with the 2.0! The previous owner sure was a scammer probably ground down the engine S/N's not only to conceal that it wasn't a EJ257 but probably a stolen block. Well since you don't really care what happens to this 2.0 maybe try porting the heads yourself for a little extra power.
I pulled my running long block motor out of my car for a race motor and it’s sitting at the No limit Motorsport in NY. hit them up is you want one. I know them have at least one other running long block sitting there for sale.
Ouch, sorry bro. Find used 257 short block, rod knocked are often available, machine shop, and full build it. Thats what I did, sitting on solid 500WHP, she is a beast. Good luck
Should build a destroked EJ257 to 2.35l or close deck the 2.0l because 2l are stupid reliable and make great power and take tons of boost. plus if you destoke you can have a more balanced engine and rev to like 9k. Both are amazing.
put the 2.5 back in the sti, cant rush perfection. it might be worth the wait in the long run you know?.. i but up to you, i love watching subies get worked on regardless
Also i want to point out. Don't knock the autozone/orieleys tool brands. it clearly did the job that the SK tools socket COULDNT. let that be an example for EVERY viewer out there. it costs Vatozone and Brorieleys ALOT of money when they sell shotty tools. their quality has come a long way. and if anyone is old enough to remember the OLD Schucks brand sockets they were BEEFY. (discontinued)
devin you need to get some RBRT Socket . Mac tool sell them. they are life saver . For taking out allen head and torx head nuts. i use them every single day at my shop. i am have impact rated for so i always put them on power tool.
Lol everybody I know just default EZ-Outs the cam gear bolts off. If Subaru 300lb gorillas installed them, there's no chance they're coming off with a 10mm allen. Just assume you'll trash the bolt and replace it no matter what.
Bro your really the 🐐🐐 I wish i lived close so I can pay you to rebuild my car like you do to yours, been rough times but your content is definitely a stress reliever thanks bro💯💪🏽
looks like the guy you bought the hatch from took every sti specific part off of it & swapped in some random impreza shit & ebay crap to make it run & drive. i hope you got it for like 5k.
When a bolt or whatever is stupid tight , after penetration lube m heating it I’ll go loose, tight , loose , tight and work it loose that way. Way less likely to snap if you run it back n fourth initially 🤘🏻💪🏻
I would be pissed off at the dude who sold it to you, if he didn’t disclose basically selling you a wrx with a sti drive line even though it’s a sti. All the actual wrx parts..motor, brakes. It’s super sus. But I’m enjoying the series either way lol. Vasyn drop This weekend boys!
Just watched a tiktok of a mechanic whose customers “sti” hatch had a swapped 20x in it without his knowledge…. this feels weird, does this happen a lot?😂☹️
I am with the group that says Why are we spending time on this bummy 2.0 motor and not getting some radd LS motor ?

I’d be down to deliver, meet halfway or he can pick up. 😎👍🏽 whatever helps.
Bro if you look in the video description at list His Facebook Instagram and a mailing address to contact him
💪🏻💪🏻
@@justinschristesnen8423 he does read comments too.
But yeah, I'd assume those are far better ways to reach him

this needs more upvotes!
That’s gonna take weeks to ship
He needs one right now
@@ruskibruski Dealers can get parts overnighted to them for cheap. If there’s one in a warehouse somewhere, they can get it to him.
Yeah, what they said.
This man is 100% correct you can make 450-500 awhp on a Type RA block and it’ll hold pretty well on E85
701 is the casting number. 706 is the current revision of block casings so that thing is oldddd
The block in my 05 STI was a 702
i already suspected it was an EJ205 from early 2000's lol
🤜🏻🤛🏻
That subaru was so bodged up the seller should be ashamed
Word man! SUS
@Dan Trebune I bet that's even a non turbo engine from a subaru sport
Devin breaks cars…Devin fixes cars…Devin puts out great content. Seems like its working lol
The endless cycle lol
We should get a "break ➡️ fix ➡️ repeat" shirt lol
Truth
@@dadstro the good thing about devin is that he does everything himself- unlike most other youtubers who will work with a tonne of companys, most often leech of them. Cant stand that stuff.
@@deezelkane yeah I'm not complaining just happy to see the process
You need a wrecked STi, grab the 6 spd for the BRZ, the 257 for the GRB
Def the way to go, and usually iaai or copart always has an STI up near OR/WA. Do that Devin, also = good content!

Pretty sure it’s a frs
@@UnTropical FRS/BRZ/GT86, all the same car, just some different trim/badges etc.
Why is no one mentioning anything about Devin being scammed? Did you get it so cheap or was the seller upfront about this stuff?
@Wes Ley perfect for content , more stuff to do
Pure scam. And he was drunk when he decided to buy it.
Dude wasn’t upfront about shit, he definitely went full send scam. ( idk the price but should’ve been upfront either way )
Old timing belt wrapped around just the cam gear you want to remove and an idler pulley etc while being vice gripped in place works a treat. 👍

After heating up try spraying a little water to cool it down. Expansion followed by contraction should loosen the bolt easier.

You was thinking of Evo block, that has 86 bore.
What if Bobbys closed deck just ended up in your sti lol she'll never know
her subie will blow
@@jawadbatata6453 i was kidding lol
@@thespoolybois6 ik lmao

Devin…. gottta say, you are the goat dude!! Always puts a smile on my face when you upload!!
Rebuild your EJ25, it's better of having 2-3 weeks shipped out rather than machined 2 months locally
Those Turbo sockets are indeed extractors bro. I'm glad you could take it out tho.
I think it would be best if you refresh this 2 liter and rebuild the 2.5 outside the car and put it in when its all said and done👌
When devin broke those bolts a big smile appeared on my face
Jared floods..Devin fixes…Bobby crashes.. Devin fixes… Devin breaks.. Devin fixes. GOAT!
15:50 You were thinking 86mm because that’s the bore (and stroke) of a 4b11t
linex wheel wells on the STI
Should build a destroked EJ257 to 2.35l or close deck the 2.0l because 2l are stupid reliable and make great power and take tons of boost. plus if you destoke you can have a more balanced engine and rev to like 9k. Both are amazing.

you can get a closed deck iag 257 from map in less time it would take a shop to machine what you have. maybe even a long block... just sayin.
That transmission is DONE 💀
You could do an epoxy block filler it works pretty damn good for holding boost on an open deck engine
I feel you u wanted a right motor for the sti the right way u will find the motor soon I bet .
ひと月ぐらい前から見ているけど・・
この人すごいな～＾＾何から何までできるやん！
New shirt “Don’t say Tranny no more” with a pic of a transmission, Ill buy one

Just buy a cd009 and do a swap. Unless you have the frs trans built it’s just gonna break again with that much power. They’re pretty fragile.
16:19 that "hfffpfff" is a vibe lol
I will have a long block ej257 soon. It has 108k miles.
You should make it a 1.5L and give it the beans!!!
Devin, have you checked what ECU is in the car yet? Hate to see you get a 257 and it not have the correct ECU
love the asmr moments. you should do a 2nd channel where you list full size videos ASMR only
I’m pretty sure those are jdm motor mounts. I think it’s a jdm ej20
looks like the guy you bought the hatch from took every sti specific part off of it & swapped in some random impreza shit & ebay crap to make it run & drive. i hope you got it for like 5k.
Or it is a wrx but was vin tag swapped. It's looking sus.
Devin! U need to bring back all those cars! Those r the 4 nicest cars ever. Please bring back the JDM Subarus🙏
Just drop an LS in er’
When Jiffy Lube assembles your head...
Even though this might be the sus bus. Its making for some killer content. Great work D.
If you don’t mind driving to utah you can have my 11 WRX short block, I need the heads lol but then I’ve got to buy a bader block
For reference it started internally leaking from the headgasket and has 127k on it lol
Definitely need 2 do a sema build 1 day 💯💯
Favorite TH-camr out there
According to car-part Gundies Auto Recycling in Seattle has a trans for $800
when the car was stolen, 100% they took the engine and brembos off it. the previous owner put the cheapest he could find back in it then sold it off
Every time I finally get a stuck bolt out I always cuss it and say who’s your effin daddy 😂
You can try to make a closed deck from it)
Subie timing is wild
Got super lucky on that head stud
When a bolt or whatever is stupid tight , after penetration lube m heating it I’ll go loose, tight , loose , tight and work it loose that way. Way less likely to snap if you run it back n fourth initially 🤘🏻💪🏻
thanks for the knowlage about the open deck etc :)

Personally because I know where this build is most likely going (power wise)😅🤣 I’d get a closed deck block from outfront or IAG
It’s not a ej25. The 25 have a 2 peace timing cover
Just watched a tiktok of a mechanic whose customers “sti” hatch had a swapped 20x in it without his knowledge…. this feels weird, does this happen a lot?😂☹️
What's the name oh the music he playing it start playing around 12:25
Hopefully you didnt melt the plastic bits inside the avcs by putting heat on the bolts.
JDM cams have a socket on them Devin.
Definitely needa get another GC 😭
It’s called trial an error for a reason, you’ll get it all figured out, great video as always Devin🤝
Therapeutic peace out 🙌🏻😃
Devin,
Sounds like to to go BBR.. Stage 4 block with heads...Josh will hook you right up..
Subaru: use cam gear holder for proper removal.
Devin: blowtorch and a Chinese made 10mm
Your facial expression in the beginning made me laugh soooo hard 🤣
Love you content from kenya
Would you sell the shortblock?
You motivate me brotha
What’s engine is in the blue Subaru that you lent out
Ej20x got thicker wall then a 25 and have iron lining he’ll be good
Devin call it a gearbox
SCRAP THAT 2.0!
I am with the group that says
Why are we spending time on this bummy 2.0 motor and not getting some radd LS motor ?
Why are we stuck with this juck metal ... scrap it Dev who cares 2.0L 2.5L
Drop a monster in it let bader build a NASA system in it take it over 1000HPS and
sendddd itttt tooo the moooooooooon
Send itttttttt
Sendddddd ittTTTTT
pshh typical
Wellllp back to Evo content 😈😈
Can’t say ****** anymore, I laughed out loud
Just JZ swap it😛
Like Billetworkz and his RB swapped hatch😭
big oof! ...the sound i expect everytime i start my lgt lol ..also the timing was off at least on the driver side by a couple teeth on the ej20
R20 block code is a EJ205 open deck
Looks same as my. Ej25 on my wrx hatch 😅
How come I feel like a rotated kits boutta show up for this
Put a type ra block In it !!!
Devin you have to invest in a heat induction gun
Pull the torch away. Just enough to where you see the end of the flame and give it an inch that's the hottest spot
No machine shops available means you need to buy some machines xD
Fucking hell this engine claimed two of Devins tools… good thing SK has a good warranty :-)
sooo it's not an STI...
How are the law regarding tuning where you're at Devin? I'm in Cali and I'm getting tired of the laws. Can't enjoy building up my evo x here..
How much better is metric!
Can anyone name the instrumental at 13:00 ??
WHERE'S BOBBY
bring back original 257 only right
Maybe needed a little more heat to the bolt 😎😎😎
That car is totally sus from front to back in and out.omg
