Great choice on the "Cobb SF Intake Air Box" I have the same one on my 2002 WRX wagon, to get the best performance it's recommended to go with a custom "Protune" instead of using the Cobb access port v3 stock "Maps" (they run too rich). I have mine tuned on 93octane pumpgas.
Nice to see you chose the Cobb exhaust. I have a 2012 GR STi and want the same one but haven't scraped together the money yet. Every video on the internet of the Cobb exhaust sounds great though (I may have watched those, uh, quite a few times.)
i just want to say that the quality of videos is coming up a lot i can see you guys are really trying to get creative with your video formats and im enjoying it very much
Yeah the Intake could be flipped to shorten some of the piping up but then you have to consider the location of the alternator. You can drop them down lower and shorten the belt for more clearance. 90* just before the throttle body isnt very subtle lol but hey FMIC is a huge win
I was thinking the same thing. Those nylon braided hoses are only rated for ~150ºC and even though the header is wrapped I bet it's going to radiate much more heat than that.
If you relocate the turbo and flip the intake manifold forward you would only need like half the amount of tubing. Killer B has a low mount turbo header that will improve spool and efficieny. and with a rotated intake it will be half the volume in intake tubing. Both helping with the responsiveness of the engine. Only downside is you may have to figure out the tubing and which intercooler to get and mounting these. some people delete AC and move the alternator, but is is possible to retain both with a bit of modification and a couple extra parts. Here is one walk through: www.full-race.com/articles/subaru-rotated-intake-manifold/ If I were going front mount on a subaru I would do both a relocated (lowmount) turbo and rotated intake. Its a little bit more effort, but it is better and just looks way neater. The standard subaru FMIC setup people do just doesnt look right and my OCD will have none of it. lol
I'm not a Subaru guy at all, but this build is so clean. You guys have really done an excellent job with this one. Oh and I can't wait to this on track!
Hey guys! I love your build and it's amazing. I really don't want to be that guy, but at 7:28 you said laminar flow helps with heat transfer. That isn't necessarily true. Turbulent flow causes Eddy currents, and the random motion of the fluid (air) provides a better method for heat transfer. Laminar flow almost creates a blanket on the sides of the heat transfer medium (fins/pipes) which is restrictive of heat transfer. I hope this doesn't sound like me being a smartass but just sharing some info! I could also be mistaken, I'm open to discussion of course! Have a great day and keep making these amazing videos!
Would it not be cheaper to just go speed density? If you dont have a cobb accesport and do this and have to retune might as well do speed density and do away with maf sensor pricing. Just a thought.
Would you just route the two coolant hoses that hit the factory oil cooler into one another? effectively bypassing the OE cooler? Then leave the OE cooler in place and block off the in and out ports for coolant? I'm trying to figure this out for myself and nobody seems to walk through it.
Some people or companies say a cold air intake on a Turbo car doesn't matter as long as you have an intercooler. If the intake was in the engine bay getting hot air would it matter if you already have an intercooler? I thing the air filter if it gets colder air then the intercooler wouldn't have to cool as much hot air as if the intake would get hotter air from the engine bay. Also, wouldn't it be better to get colder air for the turbocharger before it compresses the air?
where did you get the samco hoses? looks amazing! Im building an 08 sti right now in toronto with a rotated set up and have a very similar build to you guys!
Can't really think of any other engine layout that is more unsuitable for turbocharging than a flat 4, the turbo system is just nasty however you do it. :) serious parts though, it will be fast!
I currently drive a Mk7 Golf r with dsg and I’m seriously considering switching to a 2016 STI because I wanna start driving manual. How do these two cars compare in terms of potential for both handling and power?
Looking Sub' zero for coolness! However, those remaining rusty bolts are rather an eyesore - any chance of cleaning them up before dropping it on it's wheels for the tuning, alignment and DRIVING?
@@LukeHockensmith So honestly man, i bought the CSF, i got it to work with Mishimoto oil lines, and it did a fantastic job of keeping down the oil temps. BUT, at the extreme detriment of oil pressure. I'm talking like 40PSI at WOT, 7k RPM when oil was at 230 degrees. removal of the oil cooler corrected oil pressures immediately. Because of the low oil pressure i was getting premature wearing on my bearings. This is confirmed by an oil analysis from BlackStone. All that said... i would not recommend the CSF radiator/oil cooler. Just go with their radiator and a separate oil cooler.
Oh man. Hope you guys don’t run into any issues with that CSF rad/cooler. Lots of guys in the s2k world had problems with this unit dropping oil pressure and basically rendering it useless as an oil cooler.
Haha you guys keep going back and fourth on who get this car!! Its a opportunity to get a evo or pulsar for the one who doesnt. Just know with a pulsar the sr20 community would be huge nut swingers and watch the videos! No one has a pulsar build that I have seen!
Come on Pete! Whining about the color of the intercooler mounting hardware! Bashing on a intercooler because the hardware is visible. Either buy some black hardware or grab a rattle can with some black paint.
Come on guys, first the $4,000 M3 Drift car that is CLEARLY more expensive than $4,000, and now the Abandoned STI that is CLEARLY no longer Abandoned. These click-bait titles have got to stop! Or screw the haters and keep it up!
ALl these parts actually look very clean.
That rear end shoot looks great with the those coilovers that you don't see a bunch of people with.
Went from my subscription of Turbo, SCC, Modified and now I’m here. Thanks for keeping the content alive!
That's basically me too. Loved reading SCC, then learned to love reading Modified. Was super bummed when both got cut.

When I heard you say . back in the modified magazine days . Brought back so many memories of running to get the newest issue . Now I feel old....
looks like Dave is hitting the gym in prep for summer in his daily sti. Lookin' good!
I thought the same thing. Is DP slimming down?

you guys have such a nice build going on..so please replace those crummy parts like the alternator and water pump they look just terrible
Just a small correction, you don't see the water pump. You see the AC, Alternator and power steering pump pulley.
You should heat shield those oil cooler lines since they are so close to the headers
I was thinking the same thing. Those nylon braided hoses are only rated for ~150ºC and even though the header is wrapped I bet it's going to radiate much more heat than that.
This amount of piping is the reason I went air-to-water. An excellent street/strip option.
Which kit did you go with
nice work
seems like you are working on the Celica in the background, getting it painted soon? Love that build!
Yup, getting it ready for paint :D
@@speedacademydave awesome! really looking forward to that!

Can’t go wrong with Cosworth or Cobb! Quality parts

Its been converted to speed density from the previous owner.
i think you guys should arm wrestle for it...to see who daily drives!💪💥💪💥
Chop the intercooler mount in the middle.. the part that goes upfront of it.. mounts will still hold it up
Feels like I’m watching Motor Trend. Like the way Format and the way you guys talk feels like Motor Trend
I’m hooked on these sti videos like crack! Please don’t take another eon to post🙏.
I'm really excited about this build and specially waiting for the cost breakdown because i've always wanted to build a gc8 with NV Auto.
Ditch the oem water-oil cooler sandwich...u already got a bigger and better one...
The unused coolant port can be blanked off without any issue

I have an 08 Impreza that looks like this- BUT I don’t have the cash or skill to make mine this awesome. Good job guys- looks amazing so far. 👍
Pete really likes working on Dave’s daily...
Very nice I can not wait to see this thing up and running!!!
*Canadian daily driver rivalry intensifies*
Y'all should wrap those charge pipes with gold heat-shield tape
they already have a ceramic coating and they look good.
i feel like those oil lines are way to close to the headers but idk maybe it isn’t that big of a deal if they didn’t metion it
My thoughts as well
Luis Garcia They look very close in the video but theres about 2-3 inches of clearance.
And parallel.

looks great...looking forward to hearing the Boxer
Sweet man can't wait for the key to turn And 🔥up !! ....
Also congratulations pet for new member of speed academy!!!
You guys are doing an amazing job on that car.
This DD thing needs to be settled. Maybe each of you should present your case and let the audience vote, or best lap time?
dp looking trim as heck. has he been hitting the gym?
One video closer to firing it up. Can't wait!
You guys should pull off that old grotty hood insulation and let that engine bay shine! When you have time of course.
Damn you guys always build the cleanest cars I strive to have my vids and cars like yours.
congrats on the baby PT
where did you get the samco hoses? looks amazing! Im building an 08 sti right now in toronto with a rotated set up and have a very similar build to you guys!
The car is coming out so clean, and you know you can get black bolts right?
Or paint them lol
Can't really think of any other engine layout that is more unsuitable for turbocharging than a flat 4, the turbo system is just nasty however you do it. :) serious parts though, it will be fast!
It’s coming together nicely 👍
I currently drive a Mk7 Golf r with dsg and I’m seriously considering switching to a 2016 STI because I wanna start driving manual. How do these two cars compare in terms of potential for both handling and power?
Can’t wait to see this car on the dyno and in action
Guys, you could have used OHLINS struts man.. those things have the best damping for all types of driving situations
I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT VIDEO! =)
What was the part that was missing for your oil adapter piece? I'm considering doing a similar setup and would like to know before I dive in!
Looking Sub' zero for coolness!
However, those remaining rusty bolts are rather an eyesore - any chance of cleaning them up before dropping it on it's wheels for the tuning, alignment and DRIVING?
Wait I’m cornfused, who’s daily is this.. they both said they’re going to have fun dailying it lol 😂
Well I feel like Pete has worked on it more so it should be his lol
I think a race off is in order to determine who gets to daily the sti. Set up a few challenges, bring us canadian top gear! lol
The green tape between the intake and the heads is still in?
you shoulda kept top mount intercooler
Cough, add some heat protection to those oil hoses.
Need a tomei
Congrats on the kid PT
Hey guys! What's the part number for the hose kit that was installed?
Is there any greater detail on the coolant hoses and oil lines that were used for the CSF?

Brothers, that car is gonna be perfect 🤙
Does anyone know why throttle body is at the back of the engine? Is anythink prevents it from being at the front?
@ 12:40 oh yeah, perfect exhaust for your daily driver.... except your wastegate dumps to atmosphere :P
The ending was hilarious 😆
You guys should of kept it a top mount enter cooler and set of front
should *have*
Is in that what the hood scoop is for top mounted and incooler. But I think it's gonna be a really cool build when it's finished
What happened to Connie and the rx7? I need more Celica!
Since this will be a daily driver I think the best battle to know who gets to keep it is to do a gas mileage test, highest MPG takes the win!
How much money CAD or USD it costs already? for all these awesome updates?
Please get a proper tune and not just an OTS Cobb tune
Sally The Scorpion you can’t run an ots map on a built block
😂😂😂
Will you just build another one? So we don't have to hear "It's MY daily driver" again :-P
sick set up!!! what website you mostly bought all the stuff from BWN with love😻😻
Did you say Mann Engineering? Haha that's hilarious. I go to Mann a lot. Their coil overs are top tier.
Build cost?
Ohh guys awesome built.
Why no Spec clutch?
Please clean the inside of the hood :D
Why not run a rotated manifold?
Forgot to put on a bov gasket
@0:22 all of the parts on the table scoffed and said "how dare you mock us!"
..
I'll see myself out.
race the sti🙌🙌🙌lets see what the daily can do
Haha you guys keep going back and fourth on who get this car!! Its a opportunity to get a evo or pulsar for the one who doesnt. Just know with a pulsar the sr20 community would be huge nut swingers and watch the videos! No one has a pulsar build that I have seen!
Come on Pete! Whining about the color of the intercooler mounting hardware! Bashing on a intercooler because the hardware is visible. Either buy some black hardware or grab a rattle can with some black paint.
Already painted the bolt heads. 😊
it's a shame that whomever gets to have this as their summer daily driver cause isn't summer in Canada only like 2 weeks??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Whats the story behind the sti?
DP been working out lately?
That bipass valve is going to leak. Just saying.
I was thinking where's the gasket at
I bet someone is going to freshen up those crusty looking pullies very soon! :-D
While you two arguing who gets to daily the STI. I can see Moose stealing it from both of you
If you don't like the look of the bolt heads why not paint them black?
Come on guys, first the $4,000 M3 Drift car that is CLEARLY more expensive than $4,000, and now the Abandoned STI that is CLEARLY no longer Abandoned. These click-bait titles have got to stop!
Or screw the haters and keep it up!
I love sti’s!!!
Great fucking series.
*sips Monster* ...cool.
🔥🔥🔥
never install a muffler without a sound clip
I would love to daily this adopted rebuilt STI, it's Bad A##! Guys
You mean my daily driver?
Way moist!!
You spend all this money on the build and you guys bought UEL headers? Yikes
real boxer heads prefer UEL headers. go get an evo
Foxtrot Mike Lima real Subaru rally cars have EL headers you dunce
