Idk man I've thought about taking off all the ati badges and putting a 2.5rs badge on my 04 STI. Make it a little sleeper. Plus I've got big hp plans for the summer so why not troll a few porsches and bmws, it's only a 2.5rs 🙃🙃🙃
Fuck that, I purchased mine already debadged and STI wing removed but ended up loving it. No one knows what it is now, then they get gapped. I really like the clean debadged look
Im a Turbo Mustang owner but this thing is utterly badass and would make me a little nervous. That awd is hard to beat sometimes. What a classy dude! If I was building an STI which I prefer over the Evo I would surely send my car to that shop. They have a great reputation in the import world. A real street car no gutted junk.
Ive had 7 diesel pickups ive had a 06 impreza 2.5i for a uear and its lifted 2 onches and it does better offroad then any of my trucks ever did and still can take an overpass codner at 80k
Caas Monk AWD bounces power around to wheels that are losing traction. More likely to spin that way. Locked 4WD system in a truck is all 4 getting 25% power each, equal power means you always have traction, especially in sandy or snowy conditions
I agree 1000% some of these guys have been around over 25 to 30 years. And the build faster, cleaner, and innovative cars than 90% of the content I've seen on TH-cam. The guy had his car 11 years. Props to Don and TRC for exposing these guys to the world. And screw the haters that think his engine is going to blow. Don't be mad you don't have his skills and talent. Step ya game up!
I think the biggest mistake Subaru owners make is buying cheap Chinese Ebay parts and think it'll work like a Honda without a tune no less. Subaru, Audi and Porsche need high quality parts and a tune after every mod, the definition of paying to play.
LEGEND 25 ah yes, on a 21 year old Subaru with 150k on the clock I have to be careful. Big turbo, and I run Turbosmart variable boost control already so just take it easy 😎
Headed this direction with my fa20 wrx, running an IAG stage 2 short block and upgraded oem turbo now, building the heads next. Great inspiration, that interior is mint.
this is by far the ever best-built subaru on youtube excellent power and perfect sound it 's amazing guys very good job, how it pulls and how it all goes syncronized not a weird anywhere and the best of all besides the front mount it looks completely stock, amazing
polished aluminum charge pipes are just gorgeous in an engine bay, Even equal length headers on an EJ sound amazing, the overrun exhaust mic clips are so good
I admit that a stock ej257 will have head gasket issues but if it's a IAG block like he says then it's likely using the larger head studs and has been modified so it's basically a closed deck block and it also probably has IAG's fire lock treatment which is similar to how diesel engines are done so I doubt it will have any head gasket issues now.
its an iag closed deck block assembled in house by don at MGW. Dont beleive it has the fire lock system. Maybe we can get them to chime in for greater detail 👍🏻
Saw a max of 76psi of fuel pressure. With a 45psi base pressure and considering it should be a 1:1 rising rate fuel pressure regulator. I would call that a good 31-32 psi of boost unless the gauge isnt correct.
I don’t think anything could make me happier waking up first day of 2019 to a wild built blob eye! It’s gonna be a great year 👍🏼 Amazing build ❤️ If only we had performance shops like this in Australia 🇦🇺
Just as a public service announcement the head gasket issue is caused by galvanic corrosion in motors running the green antifreeze. The solution was grounding the block to the heads then to the frame and use of non ionic blue super coolant antifreeze. Other causes were manual boost controllers without a proper dyno ECU tune.
About 20 to 30K for a SOLID DAILY 800BHP+ scooberoo - Engine. Yeah you'll find some places or companies that could do it cheaper for 15K to 20K but .... are they tried and tested like this Scooberoo being showcased - I'd rather part way with my hard earned money to guys like these or Bader Built no questions asked - 800 to 1200 BHP monsters daily.
The sweet spot is 700-750!??! Shit, the perception of what is fast has changed so much! I remember when the 996 turbo with 415 crank hp was out of this world. A 550whp Subaru also costs quite a bit. Cant imagine a 750 whp build.
Nice! Car is like cartoon character brought to life and I mean that in a great way. Fantastic work putting that motor and drive train together. Love the body style of that generation of STI. Also having working AC!
has this car raced against Gordons Evo? You need to get that race on and filmed!!! Let us know bud. I would also like to rematch Gordon after he ran my hellcat. Are you guys going to be at Imokalee half mile race, Ill be there and so will dragtimes.
Tevin Thomas yeah it’s on here. I had just got my build done when we raced and want another crack at that thing now that I got some seat time. His Evo is faaaaast, and he can drive it.
Check AFP subaru! :) bulletproof, runs 7s & 180mph in 1/4 , and can go down B roads and time attack too! 3000cc 6cylinder boxer motor, had twin GT35 turbo
why are you thinking engine would blew up? my friends has wrx sti built to 550hp now he with this tune passed 3000km and running still no problem. if you can take care of subie engine it would last long life time
This is why i love the subie! Sooo clean and properly done. These guys know what they're doing! Maybe ill go to them to get mine tuned since im not too far away :D!
t dawg what? That block alone is probably $15k, then the custom turbo setup, fueling, tuning, etc you’re looking at a car that has probably about $100k invested into it including purchasing the vehicle, built Subaru’s with this level of power are really really expensive builds.... that’s why you don’t see a lot of them around.
9:40 as a valet driver in columbus, I've noticed how much more punchy the subaru forresters are than WRXs and STIs, so this actually made a lot of sense to me- but i never considered swapping!
2.5 n/a forester/Impreza legacy. As long as it’s drive by wire style. The xt has similar manifold to wrx. If it’s slightly newer has the plastic manifold like the 08-14 wrx. Avoid that one, a lot of fab to get it to work. The n/a is better.
42psi, Bruh. I wish my future was as strong as those internals.
Awesome comment..🤣🤣🤣
It’s a subie they wont hold for long 😂
wonder what head studs hes using
Arist Ortiz when you build the motor to handle 1000hp i'm pretty sure they're gonna last long pal ....
Marco Savona haha take a joke Im a evo guy at heart but I love both sti and evo
Man it’s always so cool to see a well built EJ :)
Yes.. Very few know how to built them properly.
TTime685 because it costs stupid amounts of money
Well that is until it blows up because it’s an EJ

Major points for not debadging and molesting the outside of the car, to make it all riced up
De badging any car is a fucking crime. Don't do it!

jason Lucas AWD doesn’t do as well off road as a true locked 4WD system in a truck. Locked 4WD offers superior traction in every condition

Not the biggest fan of STIs but this one is really cool. I love how standard it looks! Sounds sweet too. Wish there was more STIs like this one.
Sooo clean. Definitely a nice build. Glad to see someone with a reliable Sti build!!

gotta love that stock transmission
Subaru can be reliable with power, it just cost more than most.
No lie there $$$$$$$$$$$$$
Audi's too. Older ones at least.
I think the biggest mistake Subaru owners make is buying cheap Chinese Ebay parts and think it'll work like a Honda without a tune no less. Subaru, Audi and Porsche need high quality parts and a tune after every mod, the definition of paying to play.
Most people replying on here never owned a Subaru. I love my 04 STI's! Low 12's 10 years ago with mostly used bolt ons. E85 16gXT.etc.
Truth.
I need bigger turbo and more boost for 2019 after this
Wouldn't that gives a high chance of blowing of your engine? Stay safe on your tuning :D
LEGEND 25 ah yes, on a 21 year old Subaru with 150k on the clock I have to be careful. Big turbo, and I run Turbosmart variable boost control already so just take it easy 😎
I got a bigger turbo and more boost for my teggy 😎just need to get it tuned
You can also hit with the bottle, that is what I am doing, much cheaper than upgrading for another 100 hp tops.
PritchyTurbo2000 right with you bro. We pushing more boost then tire pressure this year🤘🏽😈
Pulls so hard the car keys flying out the ignition
I was wondering if anyone else noticed. That's some crazy pull to do that!
So that's why gm keys were falling out recently
/s
This car would be a great race against the boosted boiz handaru
Hondaru with the new engine would beat the shit out of this for way less money, you can't let the subie crowd get disrespected like that.

Love love love when people build high Hp cars yet keep full interior with ac. True street car and no over the top hood exit👏👌 props my guy
just goes to show that these engines can take the power! nice car
Now this is a properly built Subaru! No camber, no bullshit... strictly business.
WRB Imprezas all day, but they sure do look great in white.

This is goals for my sti swapped wagon, I just need 400 more hp 😂
aye, a 450hp sti is still badass

you’re aren’t epic I had 450 awhp, car is at the shop rn and hopefully being at 600awhp
Omar Dro dang bro, respect 👍🏽
you’re aren’t epic thanks 😎😄
I have watched this video like 30 times already, simple clean car built with heart.
Double the power of mine with street tires, i bet its a handful.
Love it. Hope it stays together longer than a couple thousand miles
this dude seems confident. i wish i did see a sequential gearbox on that one. cheers and HNY.

How much for thst happy 750 build?
2 and half years running with that much hp I am impressed!
First comment from Greece!
Happy new year TRC!!!
2019 is loading!
happy to see a Subaru with a actual boxer motor, crazy expensive to go fast but still have to appreciate keeping it classic
Lighting up all 4 for the new year!
Manley internals are awesome! I just did a build on my channel with Cp pistons manley rods. Bulletproof 😎
Gonna get ahold of him for the drivetrain on my FFR 818R/C
Rode and drivin a 818 at an autocross. Stock 04 wrx. Huge fun. Like my mr2 but boxster rumble.
Good job man, probably the best mods i’ve seen on a subaru, sounds so clean, and it’s a STi, the WRX is not enough
2:07 sounds like me after a long night of taco bell.
Been waiting for an sti like this to come out 🙏🏼💙🔥
What about a beauty & beast! Coming from an Evo owner.
Wow.. impressive. Sold my 05 STi 2 years ago. Ring land twice. I still miss it.

If only we had performance shops like this in Australia 🇦🇺
Don't you have MRT down under? (I ask as I've learned a ton about the EJs from their vids and IIRC they are in Australia)
Zac Paul , Yeah we do have a few including MRT, but nothing like the yanks, tech is so much more ahead of ours.
If only it had the authentic Subaru rumble
Personally I feel it isn’t a Subaru anymore.
Btw is a boxer engine... Ej were you watching the video
jon doe no it’s not, it sounds like it had equal length headers. Usually need them once you start reaching that kind of power
Jordan P yea, it definitely has equal length headers. My buddies sounds just the same
Uel headers, I've read and heard, can't be used for high HP. If you have a show car/stance thing it works, but he's getting high hp.
You know you making power, when you spinning and all over the place like a Honda burning out 🙌🏼
So many headgaskets.
Just as a public service announcement the head gasket issue is caused by galvanic corrosion in motors running the green antifreeze. The solution was grounding the block to the heads then to the frame and use of non ionic blue super coolant antifreeze. Other causes were manual boost controllers without a proper dyno ECU tune.
Did your head gasket go? When and if you build a subaru we all know copper headgaskets with 625 arp head studs take care of this problem.

The last year of a good looking Subarus
Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen he was #1 Hawkeyes look good too
Met this guy when i got tuned. Build is bad ass. Buddy had a car seat in the back lmaoo lucky kid
The question that most channels avoid / never talk about... How much did it cost?
hard to tell when its build in house.
