Yes Marty, you’ve built SUPERdad lol
Im big subi fan love the content and the rivalry between u and moog Nissan vs Subaru
@@stabbawivagunnah this is clearly GigaDad.
Soon as that trans pushed past 450hp a started to get a bit worried about it, usually thats quite a load even for the 6spd units. Im continuously impressed by this builds capability
@@blackjacktrial Idk why but head keeps saying Grumpy Gramps and Giga Gramps
Dave having a sip on a milkshake during the first 19psi pull is iconic.
Was a frappe, dont get them mixed up 😂
Absolute
Look after your people. Celebrated making over 350kw with a frappe
@@mightycarmods he deserved to have 2 of them... at least.
@@DxMT frappe isnt iced coffee, that had cubes, not a frappe
I love how Dave is just chilling in the back drinking his drink while Marty is questioning his life decisions, and Scotty is like, "Yea, we need more boost..."
I think we need MORE boost 😅
That was a spectacular shot of the exhaust and fabrication when backing onto the Dyno 🤌🏼
I was thinking the same. How cooling each dyno run had that intro.
I mean I just had to come to either like it or comment it this needs to become an industry standard
@@Omig12 oh I absolutely agree! The quality is superb.
best upskirt video ever! ;)
Better than Star Wars
NO ONE does dyno-tune episodes better. Also, no one does "cliff-hanger" endings better. Can't wait to see what Moog has coming to the party.
Ford ranger?
Thanks!

That shot driving onto the Dyno was actually pretty dam cool
The piping is a masterclass.
Was going to comment the same!! A great shot
wondered that the clutch took it so good, and was never mantioned either. Also hope subaru watchs this and says, oh we could build such thing. But of course it would cost than a 100 grand
Yeah I agree. Was really cool.
Got nauseous AF lol
That bit about the food for the boys saying: "look after your people" that's beautiful, man! 😎 What a legend.
Every car guy needs a DaveO, Scotty, and Yoda in their life
Tunning Fork
@@Carlos.Riverachooning fowk
Or at least one Porsche Turbo that is already dialed
This 👉$$$
Mine does
Kudos to the dude(s) who decided to give us the underbody shot backing on the Dyno!
My phone on the floor on wide angle.
the enthusiasm of tuning fork even after all the cars he worked on over the years, really inspiring
Dave just smiling in the back seat, looking so satisfied was great!
Long Live HyperGramps!
As a Subaru wagon owner and enjoyer, the complete "Gramps" series has been epic to follow along with. Massive props to you guys for accomplishing this mean feat.
gramps rulZZZ, best car they have ever made, maybe e30 for my taste is bit killer of all jap things they have made but i dont know, its tight...😁
Their friendship is genuine. You can tell they really care about each other.
Scotty is like the Attenborough of the car world, could listen to that guy all day long
From two guys starting out in moms garage to hypergramps is unbelievable. I hope you guys never stop working together for the better car.
this channel continues to be one where expert-technical information and class entertainment are rolled into one. I cannot compliment this show enough
Seeing the joy on Marty's face never gets old. Never.
"We did the good strapping" hahaha🤣
What a buzz though!
Amazing project, amazing build, amazing friends, thanks for taking us along on this journey lads.
😁
It’s been 11 years since the OG Forester was on MCM, if its still alive that would be an amazing comeback story!
I reckon that's what the ending was about
What about the brz
I think it’s code for another 2 door sti engine 😉
@@philmunsel303 but Moog talks about buying a car back.. brz or forester is all I can think
@@robm805 There was the black xt forester.
The absolute best part of this video is not the power numbers, but the child like excitement on Marty and Scott's faces. You can tell they have the XMas morning feeling going on and its contagious.
I got a soft spot for wagons/hatchbacks and this thing is just straight eye candy
Long roof life
These guys talked me into building up my VW Alltrack, Legends.
Looks understated and tough, goes like a cut snake. How good!
@@nickamburgey9738 Will you try to go with VR6 engine? :)
428KW AWD, that's still truly "streetable". You can take it to the shops to get bread and milk and it doesn't overheat and behaves. I'm very, very impressed Marty (and a bit jealous!). Well done. 👍
When Scotty is your tuner, every day is a good day.
And when he's looking that happy with your build then it's a really good day 😎
That undercarrige, being loaded onto the dyno shot was fire 🔥
13:52 This moment between the three of them is amazing!
Scotty: *wants to go for 30psi
Marty: 🤢
Dave: 🤣
We did the good strapping!
I can understand Marty being scared for his expensive built engine, but c'mon - studded block and cylinder head, forged rods and pistons - this thing should be good for at least 150 horsepower per cylinder! So 900+ hp at the flywheel...
@@ChristopherHallett True but still, It hasn't really proven itself yet at that point.
It has to kinda proof itself first regardless of how good it should be on paper in order to start trusting it
Build,break and rebuild.
Marty’s long time love of Subaru wagons has been so inspirational, from re-shelling the Liberty RS (12 years ago!) to HyperGramps 👏 Big love ❤
That camera angle when the cars getting on the dyno is sick. Idk why I loved it to much
so you can question whether the diff is leaking
When Scotty is your tuner, every day is a good day.. Seeing the joy on Marty's face never gets old. Never..
Get yourself a Turbosmart electronic wastegate, so you can control it using just inputs from the Haltech, no pressure that affects where you open and close the wastegate.
Packaging is far too tight to fit the E-Gate in there. They are great but bulky. Even the 45mm conventional gate is very tight to fit. I have a turbo EZ30 I built and fabricated myself so know first-hand
Tuning fork is a legend, always helping the MCM guys, and you know it’s always after hours as well
I just like how Dave sits in the back sipping his beverage while he sits in a Subbie that's cranking out monster power
Too many internet kiddos are jaded and barely even pay attention to any car that isn't putting out at least a thousand horsepower to the wheels. Thing is, an AWD car with nearly 600 responsive wheel horsepower, sorted suspension, and good tyres (one of the most important parts of any build!) will absolutely crush almost anything in traffic.
I just cannot express my gratitude to this channel for a decade & a half of awesomeness that just keeps getting better. Martin's love for Subaru's has definitely been a thing since the start. I remember the old episodes with the wrx swapped Legacy's with fond memories, the little thing like factory brake upgrade options were great to see. This is a whole other level of engineering & seems like you are doing it right!
This is an inspiration to Subaru fans all over the world .. I am here in Saint Lucia watching this and saying H6 for the win thanks to this build .. I’ve watched this show from the driveway days looking at how you guys have grown from the beginning .. the cars the projects the builds man this isn’t just entertainment this channel is an educational one A+++ . Keep up the amazing work guys
It's crazy how much we all get drawn into the journey. I don't know you guys, except for your videos. But the fact that I'm genuinely happy for Marty shows how good the channel is! We just want one more video on HyperGramps with the extra work done, please!
Can't wait for the next project.
Dave in the back smiling at Marty's excitement is great. Building a car with your mates looks like something else.
Most of my enjoyment of these videos is just listening to you guys talk with excitement and enthusiasm for everything you do. It's a great dynamic you two have and I hope it will last forever.
Idea: Turbosmart is based in Aus, why not attempt get with them and get one of their new electronic wastegates? Having the wild genius of everyone at Haltech at your disposal, you could certainly use it to its fullest potential. I've seen Turbosmart send people unreleased new products, either to test or showcase, and I can't imagine they wouldn't want to work with you guys in some way. Maybe it'd be possible to visit their headquarters and tour the place and talk to experts and make a cool and informative video out of it. Getting one of their new e gates and recirculating it back to the exhaust (for Aus legality, right?) sounds like it'd be a huge upgrade for hyper gramps. The StraightGate eSG50 looks like a damn work of art. Also, could pressure sensors before and after the intercooler give you the data to confirm whether your intercooler and piping is sized appropriately?
Sick build though! I, like so many others, would have killed for a good new manual turbo wrx wagon/hatchback to be made. I used to have a usdm world rally blue 5 speed bugeye wagon with some sti bits (jdm v7 sti grille, blobeye BBS wheels, sti struts and springs, sti cluster, sti stock exhaust etc.) and a downpipe, but otherwise pretty stock. It was so utilitarian being able to carry big things, move huge amps and music gear, moving, etc. Also of course great in our snowy winters, reliable, quicker than most things on the road, handled great, very analog, super fun to drive. It was my favorite car ever. That title is now shared with my 71 240z I'm currently piecing together. I'm starting to feel like y'all at MCM may have been subconsciously influencing my tastes in cars over the years...
I think GFB is very involved in the channel, for a very long time, and MCM is very faithful to its "sponsors" so I don't see them going to turbosmart.
Like the other comment. GFB is very involved with MCM. Actually GFB is very involved with many Aussie Car builders, because of being the OG of everything and supporting the community.
With the gap that was shown on video I don’t know if it would fit. They are a bit larger than a normal style gate
The electronic gates seem really cool. But, from what I’ve seen many people end up going back to a normal gate. I think the durability and function just isn’t there yet. Especially for a mostly street car build. Better to have something more proven that will just work and function day to day.
@@NBSV1OEM's have been using Electric gates for over a decade now. More likely it's a learning curve and tuners learning how to set them up and use them.
F**kin love seeing Dave-o just chilling in the back with a drinks cup, watching the fruits of his work take effect
Glad to see one of you are finally getting into the big numbers! My 2004 sti has a gtx3582r gen2 making 455 kw/619 hp at the wheels for about 30k kms now on an IAG closed deck ej25 at 35 psi of boost. I also have 1700cc injectors and duel fuel pumps on it (AEM 340 lph), but I'm in eastern canada so I run it on pump 91 octane and methanol/water injection. We don't get 93/94 or e85 out here. It's also running a fully custom built 3.5" exhaust with a 4" cat in it, so it's fully road legal where I live.
I’ve got a grin from ear to ear, excited like it’s my own car 😅 Fckn love this levorg build!
Honestly the Levorg is SO sexy with the STi bodykit, the TE37s, and how much power it makes with that built EZ36 with that big turbo is just awesome. It sounds absolutely killer and it's going to pull SO hard at 570 awhp. I know that you've been waiting for a LONG time for this Marty, but you sacrificed Supergramps to build this legend, and I'd say that it paid off. I can't wait to see it on the track with some sticky tires! (or tyres as y'all spell it) I am so pumped for you bro!
It's an Ez30....not a 36
@@Mardy72 EZ36 was supergramps
@@lndnfsu2 yes, I know that. It was a tribeca engine in supergramps. The engine in the levorg is not a 3.6...its 3.0
@@Mardy72 Copy that. Thanks for the correction. I've never owned a Subaru, but I'm 40, so I'd still LOVE to have a SVX some day. I got the Levorg and Supergramps mixed up.
@@Mardy72 I'm a big 80s and 90s car guy. I just sold my 709 whp 1997 Honda Civic coupe (which I modeled into a 99-00 EM1 Civic Si clone, but with a fully built LSVTEC and a big turbo). It made 709 wheel horsepower at 34 psi on a GTS3582 dual ball bearing turbo. I still kick myself for selling it.
I love the journey you guys have given me, watching you guy grow from the 35kw engine to the Silvia. The music everything thank you guys. Almost thank for the birthday wishes every year for the past 8 years man
Awesome cars. Awesome show. Awesome people. Awesome friends. Thank you for the quality content you've released for over a decade!
Hats off to the team that built the car. I think Dave should have a drive in it on camera, with all the time he put in.
The shot of it reversing onto the dyno was brilliant.
Outstanding, looking forward to whatever projects you guys get next.
This is my favorite build of all time and the way super gramps went out was the best let the next gen have there fun
The underside shot was like watching a car cross the block at Barrett Jackson. Very nice build
With the name Hyper Gramps you should get a H6-HG number plate. I love this build. Wagons are some of my favorite cars, which is why I sprung for the Stagea first chance I got last year. But this is something I would love to drive. I really don't think the Subaru H-6's get the love they deserve. They are such smooth and great sounding engine's im glad you guys continue to shine light on them. Keep up the great work fellas 🤙
By no means is this a dig at other automotive youtube channels, but its so heartwarming to see the same friends that were around at the beginning are still here doing projects with them. So many others lose touch with some of their crew along the way as they grow.
When your tuner is disappointed and eager to put more boost into the car...you know you've built a great motor!!! Great effort MCM, Dave & Scotty, Mechanical Stig, Turbo Yoda & Woody!!
Was Daveo in the back-seat saying are you there yet, bloody brilliant Marty, Scotty was freaking awesome with how bloody happy he was, Moog were is your next one
Amazing episode. Loved the shot rolling onto the dyno, Dave in the back during the runs and seeing Marty so nervous and excited at the same time. Haven't seen Scotty as hyped about a MCM car ever I reckon. Big grin during this one!
Just goes to show no matter how skilled you are, how smart you are, how wealthy you are, you can’t do it by yourself, you’re literally as good as the people you work with or hang with.
This honestly took me back to the “reshell” episode when Marty bought his charcoal grey rs turbo and swapped the whole power train from the white one into the grey one. God time flies! But looking forward to what’s next for HYPERGRAMPS
I remember watching that episode but I can't remember what happened there was security footage of it getting rained on or something. I tried to go back and find it but couldn't been watching MCM for a long time
Supergramps was bought in dark blue, it was later painted charcoal grey at a live event in a makeshift booth
@@lazwwThat was Gramps, the 2nd-gen Legacy (known as the Liberty in AU). What OP was referring to was wayyyy back, with the first-generation Legacy wagon.
A massive result from a mega-talented team of friends.
Hats off to each & everyone one of you guys.
I'm an old fart but not too old to enjoy motoring bliss & this project ticks all the right boxes.
The power & build quality, along with the practicality of a wagon, takes it to the max.
I'm not a fan of loud & obnoxious cars so was blown away by Turbo Jeda's manifold & exhaust build. At one time on the dyno, there was no gain in power with the exhaust bypassed. RESPECT.
I'm living vicariously through this series. I had the thought to do something like this about 4 years ago, when I was thinking about getting a Levorg. However, never had the money, time or skills to do it. So this is great!
it's so crazy seeing the diifference of Scotty in front of the camera compared to the first few times so many years ago. You Lads are all so good at this now (you were always good wtih cars and tuning but now the explanations are like a seasoned proffesor or tutor.
Dave in the background smashing a smoothie and giggling is gold
Daves wee smiling face just sitting there in the back was amazing. Happiness all round.
Almost 600 at the wheels in a 4wd car is insane.. gotta be like 680hp+ at the crank 😮🤯
It's nearing Hellcat power!
They rekkon u should add 25% for the loss of the drivetrain.
@@danishpastry718 That means 800 hp motor losing 25% makes 600 at the wheels. That is crazy man, if you have 200hp driveline inefficiency, car would overheat for a few minutes.
@@sridvan yeah i always thought adding 25% is a bit extreme. But id say its closer to 700 crank
Is it 4x4? Looks fwd to me, not all scoobs are awd
Great job lads.
The story is captured so well with the video production, narration and final words.
Your Levorg is the envy of many. You deserve it Marty because you and Moog both work so hard and any success you both have has been earned.
Enjoy the car that you deserve!
"We did the good strapping." What a legend.
Ok, that shot up off the ground showing the driveline when it pulled onto the dyno was bad ass.
I just can't get enough of MCM. You guys NEVER disappoint. Awesome car and an incredible episode.
I do have to say... I really thought Supergramps was going to be one of the keepers. It was so sad to see it go.
I was really sad to see the original supergramps go but seeing the excitement on Marty's face during the tuning has me convinced this was the right move
Looks like moog needs to get a VW golf alltrack and swap a vr6 turbo in it to compete with Marty... The lavorg wagon is so damn good.
I came here to say get a passat r36 and boost that!
Or, better yet, a 2,5l 5 cylinder AUDI RS3 engine in the Alltrack. That would be an epic sounding build.
Moog sucks he should let Marty enjoy his car
@@daniel.s8126His parents named him Erik with a k lmao what can you expect?😂
You don't know how tempting that HPA VR550T is for me to dump in my Alltrack...... Got a SG Forester XT with 200kw at the wheels and trick diffs, but my daily Alltrack feels so slow....
Gotta love how passionate Scotty is about his job and explaining what he's doing
You’re not finished, you promised scotty to come back with a new wg spring for more boost 😈 Can’t wait to see this make 600+ awhp! I bet it really rips already!
This has been my favourite build on this channel since Super Gramps. Amazing work boys!
That under car camera angle was majestic!!!💎
My guy you need to plug merch, a giveaway, sponsorships, something. Capitalize your income from this and you can maximize the quality of content you can put out. I love you guys and the videos you bring to this platform.
A forester build would be so awesome. Hope that’s what’s coming. Man this channel is so good.
So glad the screen tells you the proper measurement (HP), for years I've had to Google what however many KW they've been talking about 😂
Super gramps was one of my favorite builds you guys have done. This takes it to a whole new level. I wasn’t keen on the levorg at first, but it turned out so good!
I think me and Marty are having very similar car lives. Iv been building/modifying a 1999 Forester Turbo S for the past 5 years, it’s now as far as I can go with my skills (99% of the work I have done myself including the spray job) and what I’m willing to spend on it. A few month ago I bought myself a 2007 Forester Cross Sport type S JDM import and now that is going to go beyond anything I could have done with the SF5
The Hyper-Grovel-Amps is a wolf in sheep's clothing! An absolute beast! Awesome work Marty!
The part at 14minutes something about the waste gate spring! I love this!
Having a great team of technicians with a wealth of knowledge is invaluable. Awesome team and an awesome result with more to come it seems. Congratulations 👍
Absolutely amazing project guys. Thank you so much for taking us along for the ride. I personally own a Levorg and it’s crazy how you’ve transformed it. Really keen to see more content on it, track days, drags etc!
I have to say I wasn’t super excited for this project when you boys first announced it but now it’s has to be my favourite car in the fleet. Keep up the incredible work boys. And congratulations on finishing this amazing project.👍
It's always fun to hang out with Scotty!!! and that Dave guy, can't do any thing with out that tasty milk shake!!! Thanks!!!
Really enjoyed this one guys! Such an awesome street car build! Really does tick all the boxes and the attention to detail is epic! Well done! 🎉
love the low-key flex showing off the exhaust with the long shot underneath as you ran onto the rollers
Kinda disappointed that Dave didn't have popcorn to go with his milkshake in the back while he is enjoying the show
That Subaru Levorg Wagon looks amazing it goes really fast out race track road sounds wonderful Make over 600HP Well done Marty 👏👏👏👏
The joy and excitement in everyone’s face sums it up perfect. This thing is 👌🏼🔥
Ha, I played leisure suit Larry a long time ago! Love the excitement on Scotty's face!
Loved the shot of the car running over the dyno in real time!
The beginning of the video showing the bottom of the card gave me chills it was a pleasure to see how clean and eye catching the Levorg is coming out. More videos of this car please.
The exhaust system looks like a work of art. Awesome build boys 👏👏😎
The Levorg will go down as a future classic. Ultimate all rounder.
Grab one while you still can!!
Goddamn dave-o is such a legend. Just drinking in the backseat 😂😂
Im going to show this video to my Gen 3 wagon and after the ej253 instantly blows up from anxiety, maybe ill find an ez30 to have some real fun. This wagon series (all the wagons) is insanely inspirational. You have no idea.
I'm just going to say it. I would buy a Grovel.
Loving the hearing protection, loving Dave in the back-seat just sipping on a drink, just loving this build all over.
@1:54 coolest camera angle to ever hit the show, we need more of this.
The engine sounded like it was knocking during that last drive
This is the epitome of an OEM+ borderline built car. You took the subaru parts bin and cranked it up to 11 to make an enthusiast dream daily.
Well done guys! Super excited to see the FD content 🤩🤩
Hope you learnt your lesson with Supergramps and you’re bringing spare CV shafts to the drag strip 😉
0:10 Super Levorg is looking around nervously!
I can't wait to see what MOOG has in mind!!! I've always loved Subarus, and the Levorg is a very sweet build! Reminds me of a muuuch more modern version of what I did to my 1st Gen 1991 Legacy. I took the ej22T and did a full forged (no iron sleeves though) and put everything off a WRX/STi I could find on it and went from 160HP to 275HP. And did a full driveline and mechanical rebuild. That car disappointed the "built LS" local people at the time and I could drive to the shops or road trip it with comfort or hit gravel roads and just grin. Keep it up guys!
I absolutely love listening to experts, in any field
