- Tyler sent me a DM on Instagram and asked if I had any interest in filming his unique Subaru with an LS Swap! You obviously know what I said, hope you enjoy the vid!
Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments below!

Truth is he did the swap just to make it easier to get at the sparkplugs.
Lol, ain't that the truth!
Nah he wanted to make 500 whp without blowing 40k
@@Aether52 awe c'mon man that's only 20k for 500whp
I was gonna comment the same shit 😂😂😂
@@Aether52 you can get an sti to 500hp with about 20k
I love the message from Mom on the dash. Definitely a reminder to drive safely
exactly what i was thinking!
As an automotive service technician...
I often looked at Subaru for their large engine bay as a good swap for an American V8.
Yep...I need one .
Note...
There is no physical difference between a a 4.8 ltr and a 6.2 ltr on the outside dimensions.
Yeah! LS3 would be pretty bad ass!
I have a stock '20 STI and I often fantasize about having an LS3 and RWD!
“Subaru large engine bay” lmfao
@@cloudgaming3043 Left to right it is.
It still awd tho?
This dude is mad humble. Keep it up Brother.
he is Canadian....
Sounds like Tyler should have taken the VW store to court, but very cool swap
Yeah, shitty situation at first but the end result is much better!
Tyler giving off suuuuuuper awkward “I don’t know what to do with my hands” energy.
😂
It’s all good tho..
Thanks for sharing about your momma... I been going through the same thing. Stay up and Bless Up!!
This is sick! And then I saw the Manitoba plate 🇨🇦. I really hope I see this thing on the road one day
It is his daily, so I'm sure one day you will run into it.
These are the real canadians, I went to school there for 4 years in a kind of pretentious area but these are the real canadians I know and love, God bless lads
Such a cool ride, can't wait to see more form that guy!
Car should be just wild once boost is added!
That mom message is real sad on his dash rip his mom 🙏🏽
I love how hes answering all the questions.
I'd have liked to have seen it up on the lift to see what they did with the headers and exhaust work as well as the crossmember, oil pan, steering rack, fab work for the motor and trans mounts, if they sealed off where the half shafts mate to the knuckles in the front, etc.
Hopefully one day I will get to film this car again and can maybe get more in depth with it.
Best part is that the hood closes and you can actually drive it. You can even put an electric motor in a subie if you have the money.
been searching for VA WRX/STIs with engine swaps since I saw smeedia's flat 6 swapped STI and this popped up at the right time!
Glad to hear! There is another vid on my channel of another sti (hawkeye) with an EJ33 swap too!
Jeez I had a mockup of our RS with an LS. I changed my mind and then we built a 10,000rpm NA motor. I don't regret it the sound was awesome.
Sure miss that car.
Great build buddy.
Hello from 🇨🇦 & 🇫🇮
Really cool swap, very impressive I always wanted to see one of these in person. More then likely will do it in the near future. I was just upset to hear the Subaru “head gaskets, rod knock” that’s stale, I do build engines for a living, and usually guys don’t know much about the boxer engine but it’s not such a common problem for the car it’s the owner that had the car that makes those knocks and gaskets go, but I respect this build to the fullest extent.
Very impressed
Mine isnt a gen 3 GM engine but it sure is fun to drive. The turbo V8 makes these super car status.
Get that man a jacket. I can hear how cold he is.
chevy forester owners taking notes rn
A Hellcat engine in a Subaru Ascent, with no cosmetic changes. 👍
I'm from Winnipeg and found this vid looking into LS swapping my 16 wrx
It's a small world lol
powah : +100
reliability : +100
weight ratio : who cares
If you use an aluminum block its not too bad. The engine and trans are shifted rearward, plus the weight doesnt change much especially when you subtract the weight of the front axles, turbo, and intercooler. A t56 and subie 5 speed are the same weight, and an sti 6 speed is heavier than a t56. Wouldnt shock me if a well thought out build would end up lighter and with better weight distribution.
its a 4.8, he lost power
Just because you can....... doesn't mean you should.
I agree... its better to buy new subaru shortblocks every 4 months and eat ramen and peanut better sandwiches to survive.
Great vid - Well done! Need some drone shots of this car now 😊
Probably got a s*** ton more power than it had before but it probably drives like crap
all the weight in the front with power only in the rear
its a 4.8; it lost power
@captainboose8788 but it gained a ton of long-term reliability.
You have any actual experience or info, realistically I can't imagine it being an extra 200 maybe 300 pounds considering you're losing the turbo and piping too and likely the AC unless he was able to get it to work.
The LS weighs less than the boxer. Better handling.
Get a custom LSWRx badge! Lol.
Now that's a Subaru I would buy
I have a 2006 gto motor in my 2018 sti all wheel drive custom frame work in the engine bay pushing 550
That sounds amazing!
i have a '16 STi, and i would LOVE to do this swap... but somehow keep the 6-speed manual and AWD
Thay would be really awesome!
You mean to tell me you can't have a awd and a 6 speed?
Fck that, at this point get yourself a real LS car.
Possibly look into a trailblazer SS drivetrain
i just wanna know what mount he used
ahhh, so this isn't AWD... yeah deff some SS or even CTS-v parts... think a CTS-V swap will be my next build after i go through this iag stage-2 block w/ dominator 1.5xtr @ 22PSI, currently @ 500whp... i miss that good old naturally aspirated power
-2005 STI
Now it's more reliable
Sounds like a beefy Holden in AussieLand back when i was there years ago, I couldn’t believe the 4 door Beast cars racing around or idling at red lights before taking off like Drag strip green lights. 😂
@Thetrackchannel can you get me in contact with this guy would love to get some of his knowledge on the swap
The first American Subaru.
The trick is keeping the awd with the swap
Best and cheapest way to build a Subaru is the same as the quickest way to puss off a purist. Take the boat anchor out the front and swap it K series or a V8 more affordable parts and reliability.
I'd love to see a K swap STI with the same power but minimal boost
"Something you don't see everyday" 😂😂 It's an LS in a Subaru. I knew the guy that did the first swap. All that work to be just as slow as a STi and break more drivetrain parts.
Anyone know what oilpan he used?
I'm doing an LS swap on a 07 outback and wondering what pan to buy
Gets a truck 4.8, calls it a lsx 🤡
I've heard of 2JZ, RB26, and now LS swap! Would love to see a Tesla powered WRX.
I'm sure someone will do it soon enough!
I saw a v12 swap too. I think it was the same car that had the 2J
@@kylehenderson7563 Yea it was that gray one
The fact the Subaru motor checked out at 50k is wiiiiiiiild 😂😂 like why would anyone buy them?
You never know man. Mine is rolling up on 240k miles. Leaks oil everywhere, but still pulls hard.
I would definitely love to put a v8 in my Civic 😅
Some absolute madlad built something called the Civette.. Corvette drivetrain in a EK hatch... absolutely insane
Solid reliable swap for once! 😅
Damnit. I was gonna do this if i ever go through this motor. Not an ls but still.. 😢
Would make for a pretty fun drift car!
The most reliable Subaru
allll the paint swirls...
Very very cool. When i win lottery can I hire you to put a supercharged v8 in my Forester? Lol Super nice ride man
Very sweet build! Wow!!
That boost drip is sweet!!!!🍩
Subaru could have brought us a 5.3 option - not everything has to be a boxer. Fuji Heavy - make a full size truck ffs!
Freakin awesome. I have a stock '20 STI, and I would LOVE it if it were RWD and V-8 powered. With the LS in particular, I bet it gets better mpg than with the EJ257.
I'd want to keep the manual though. Maybe a nice TR-6060.
Bro made the car reliable 🤣🤣😭
No Kidding!
Well now I guess you can say it's kind of reliable motor will Outlast the car
Absolutely!
I love it! Sick build man!
Which engine Managment are you using. And how you deal with the cluster and the ECU communication
Try to find Tyler Declerq on instagram. He's the car owner.
How did you do the motor mounts
Now that’s custom 💪🌎🙏
Did you merge your factory harness to the LS harness to retain all your current chassis amenities? Or did you use one of the brz ls swap harness and modify? Or did you pay a company like iwire for a harness?
Yeah cuz LS swaps are super unique
It's kind of unique, more cool than unique.
Uniqueness is as relevant as HP/L lmao
Man I wanted to put a 4.8l in a VW B5 Wagon but I ended up with a 19 WRX
Well, If you ever find yourself in a similar situation to Tyler, you know it can be done!
Looove the car and video!
Thanks Kevin, appreciate the comment!
We’re in a park…
Smack the rev limmy boiii yolo
It"s probably only good for making a left turn
I would love to do this swap on my wrx love it but really want the v8 sound/feel
Me too. Imagine if you had like an ls3 in here with a crazy cam and like 600 horsepower with a crazy chop from the cam. That would be so much fun!
needs a muffler delete
me and my friends were just talking about this!1 u have a va wrx and the motor blew, rebuilt it and still doesnt run perfect liek it should so once this blows i wanna ls swap it, what motor mounts did he use?
So you did all that for me to not here it tacked out 🙁
Great video, keep up the content!
Appreciate the comment Reese!
Are you from Manitoba?! If so nice to see another fella
Yup, Winnipeg
Can't say Subaru on an airplane.... boom💥💥💥. 2017 already needs a swap....uggg
All the work for under 300WHP? Nah
4.8 with LSX badges lmfao.
Nice content, keep up the good work 👌
This is what I want to do with my 08 Impreza hatch
Do it! Most fun you will ever have!
@@ThatTrackChannel actually I am scoring a wrx without any drivetrain and interior so I’m gonna try to use that car for the swap and keep my Impreza for a daily
i still have yet 2 c a lambo w a 350 s/b mayb some day ill buy n do a swap
Sorry to hear about cancer. Tell him to look into Moringa please.
If its not awd its not truly swapped
I didn’t know it would actually be possible lmao. I’ve been really wanting to LS swap my 2019 STI lately. Any recommendations or suggestions how I could LS swap mine?
Nice swap bro. What will you eventually rev it out to once its turbo'd? Whats gonna be the final rear end solution?
cool swap still missing subie rumble i don't buy a fuckin harley to put a yamaha engine in it do i no i buy a fucken harley cause of the rumble. just missing that sweet sweet flat four rumble.
Nice car bro! Wipe your dash.
Bro tweaked tf out but that car 🔥
Why does it still sound relatively like a subaru?
So sick!
0:16 Ill give $5 to anyone who can tell me (without cheating) what the name of that kind of wall they are leaning on is called.
That's a retaining wall, is it not?
Fun fack subaru and Chevy did at one point work together and "made" a Chevy Forester.
Buen video! Saludos desde Argentina
Gracias Amigo!
Damn broo... you lost your short block and heads? 😢
The car sounds like it just went through hell
Does anyone know Tyler’s instagram? I really need to him about the drivetrain and ecu situation
instagram.com/that_v8_subaru_guy?igsh=MTUwemJhY3lkdXE1bA==
How did do the engine and transmission mounts? I can't find anything on it.
Dad life ✌🏽🤘🏽
I wonder if it is still awd or just rwd
Can't take the dude on the left seriously, wearing what he's wearing. Lol. Bedazzle skinny pants
Lol, I appreciate the comments on my attire!
Anyone know what Roof rack he’s running?
nah, "Grandpa's SLEEPER Supercharged V8 Subaru Forester" much better))
A supercharged v8 forester? Yes please!
Sick!
This is COOL!
It really is! I'm just so happy the guy messaged me to film it!
weight distribution 65:35
Great drift car
Impreza is it’s own model😂 2015+ are just WRX
Thanks for teaching me something new.
Can you do this but keep the AWD?
I guess anything is theoretically possible, just at what cost. I would assume you would almost need transfercase and front diff etc probably from something like a trailblazer ss.
Maybe it's easier than that, I'm just guessing what might be needed to do such a thing, maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in lol.
I mean technically you would just need a bellhousing adapter and figure out flywheel and clutch but it wouldn't be too hard. Look up hondaru it's a 1000hp k swapped sti
