- Dyno #'s were 377 torque @ 3700rpm's/341 hp @5500 rpm on E85. How to flex fuel your WrX to run on E85. Had to remove the intake manifold. Took a brief look at an IAG oil separator, and put it back where it belonged. Installed a Grimm Speed pitch stop (dog bone), A GADT cooling system water pipe thingy for the rear of the head, Cobb 315600 Subaru flex fuel sensor ethanol kit, 315650 fuel pressure sensor kit, NGK LFR7AIX 2309 (one number colder than stock) spark plugs, IWIRE fuel injector adapters, Cobb, or Injector dynamics 1200cc fuel injectors, and a used TGV delete kit. Same stuff for an STI Impreza. 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 08 09 10 11 12 13 14

Sensational
The oil air separator is becoming a staple of STI mods. Considering the benefits, I’d say it’s worth it. Helps to preserve your turbo.
The factory system utilizes a PCV system. A system that has been used for 100 years for very specific reasons. Keeps engine, and oil cleaner. Burns off toxic, corrosive, harmful gases, and liquids like sulfuric acid (the most corrosive substance in the universe created from the combustion process), and promotes piston ring sealing. People promoting these "cans" no nothing of it. It is a band aid used for an engine that is not running right, and also used in racing applications along with short term engine life. I can see using it in a race car, but not for daily use. I would like to know how it "preserves" a turbo.
It's not a fucking bandaid you dunce. The stock pcv system has been proven time and time again to be harmful to these engines. Trust me. Iag knows what the fuck they're talking about. Everything the customer wanted was items that have been proven to improve the longevity and simplicity of the engine.
Loved the video …It’s hilarious but only because I understand your frustration
You must have done one. Hats off to you.
Actually the oil air separator is very important for that car and there very good reasons to install it
Then why wasn't there one on the car from the factory? Why is it so much more important than the stock system that everyone else who buys the car under warranty, and extended warranty from the factory. Please do tell.
Rust Belt Auto I don’t own a wrx or like them for that matter. I get that you trust your engine rebuild. But it’s a preventative mod. Later on when blow by does happen, he’s good to go. Why wait for a problem to start before addressing it ? Just like an EGR delete. Why wait for your EGR to give you issues when (if local laws allow you to) you can just go ahead and delete the system.....
@@alexsegura9012 because it's a PITA, and it may not ever need it. If something is not broke, you don't fix it. It doesn't fix the cause of any problem either. I can see using one on a race engine that has excessive PTW clearance, and lots of blow by, but putting one on an old used up engine that is on its way out, or probably needs a valve job. kind of defeats the purpose of an aftermarket high performance part. It's a dirty hack IMHO, and the installation instructions are sub-standard. EGR's are a nice thing to have, and keep working as well.
Just built a d16 honda turbo for myself. Most people delete the PCV, and put huge holes in the valve cover, with a catch can because boost pressure blows crankcase pressure all over the place. I put new valve guides in mine, and rebored with new pistons with the correct PTW clearance, and gapped rings. Using the PCV, and the breather hose going to my cold air intake is dry, and clean. Being an automotive machinist in the past, I know what people do, and why.
Rust Belt Auto well worded reply and you are right. I am in the middle of boosting my 2.5 mazda and I’m adding a 3 port catch can to my pcv, valve cover and intake. I am at 136k and I also do not want boost in the crank case. I do get the ratio of amount of work needed to install the separator vs how much benefits you receive definitely doesn’t seem worth it. And you’re right about the EGR as well. I love your videos but I just didn’t agree with the “if it’s not there from factory it shouldn’t go in there” mindset. Keep up the good work.
@@alexsegura9012 factory turbo cars don't have catch cans. The PCV valve keeps the crankcase clean, and promotes piston ring sealing. Performance/race cars cannot use them properly because they spend almost all of their time under boost, and/or WOT. There is a small window of time for vacuum/differential pressure for it to work. EGR also reduces NOx, and does not function at WOT. That's why I say what I say. Race engines are a different animal, and that is not a factory car anymore.
U made my day sir. Very fun video to watch. This is funny as heck and it's a splash of reality when working on cars.
This is the exact reason why I work on my own car 😂😂😂😂
Lol, give rust a for trying, im watching and dying so hard!
a trick : you can watch series on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies these days.
@Davian Joseph Yea, I have been using flixzone for since november myself =)
This video and these comments fuckin crack me up... Y'all complain too much 😂😂😂 this shit makes me want to start a TH-cam channel just to show people how to not be idiots when they're working on their Subarus.... Y'all act like they're fuckin rocket science. This guy has clearly not been around them enough....
Do it. To be honest, I don't like these one bit, and was constantly Shanghaid to work on this thing. Don't talk to the owner anymore either. He kept breaking the thing, and blowing it up.
Too bad you're across the country. I'd tell you to send him my way. Something tells me it was a lack of experience with these cars and an owner with a heavy foot who paid little attention to his oil level that killed that car repeatedly....
@sean metully he beat it pretty bad. Did some open lapping stuff with it too.
Looks like you had a lot of fun
It's never so bad a second time. His clutch was slipping on the dyno, so I will be seeing it again.
Does this guy just hate his life? Sooooo many things about this video bother me. I saw someone say this is why they work on their own cars...AMEN. Ive all but the e85 kit on my 2013 myself.
I was shanghaied. I love honda's and s##t.
*Puts new plugs in*, *immediately fouls them with tons of fuel*
Fairly entertaining video though. And the aos actually simplifies a lot of those egr hoses you were having to deal with. It's madness until you plumb up an aos and read some of the explanations. Very much worth that extra bit of safety and simplicity in my opinion.
Better videos, with better explanations needed. I did not have the time, or the patience at the time to figure that cluster f##k out, and make an understandable video. The manufacturer of that unit did a horrible job at it.
This is hilarious 😂
Fuckin hate subaru for their design every shit is so tight...design so that access to those maintain spot is easier
What’s your experience with jaguars? Are they really more complicated to repair or is that just overblown?
Depends. Try to stay away from euro cars in general. People did make me work on them.
On one of them you have to remove the subframe to replace the fuel pump so I’d say avoid em!
This guy is awsome. I laughed my butt off because I know exactly what he was talking about.
I had to delete a conversation I had with the owner. That was even funnier. People didn't like it very much.
Those aos units are easy to install.... Jesus christ
You should do a happy video with Jesus christ.
So with all that aftermarket stuff, is this car still considered a WRX?
FrankenWeRX
Whoa
You sound like Jesse Ventura
My Govenor.
The commentary had be dying, im not even planning on doing flex fuel but everything he said is so accurate lol
Where are u located ?
Outer space.
Idk why this Subaru owner didn’t go to a Subaru mechanic. Lol
He did take it to subaru mechanics. They jacked him. I ended up rebuilding the entire engine, replacing the transmission, and other things. He has been driving it hard for over 30k miles so far.
Lol! You get what.you pay for. That's what happen when you cheap out and don't go to a real subaru specialist
Or be a man and learn how to work on your own car fuck shops, I'm not a mechanic but I put more care into my wrx then 9.5/10 shops would. You gotta understand shops have to turn around the cars fast to make money they're not going to spend as much time as I would meticulously inspecting and cleaning everything along the way.
holy shit ! im thinking of installing some of the parts you just installed on my subaru . well I guess goodbye subie. thanks for making this video and showing us how it can get complicated .
You have fun with that. It's always easier a second time. The first time you might say WTF?!!????, about1500 times. This engine was completely overhauled by me too. I would suggest you try that first. See how much you like Subaru's after that. Thanks for watching!
I was thinking about upgrading the injectors on my car, thank you for proving how useless and painful it would be to do so. Lmao
E85 worked pretty good on that car. Until he blew it up.
I was laughing so much at this lol
Honestly, you complain too much. I work on different kinds of cars including subarus. Yes you can do them for a living, only if you know what you're doing. I can start at 10am take the hole car apart, refresh all the gaskets and have the car running by the end of my shift. A clutch on one of this cars pays from 6 to 7.5 hours, if you know what your doing. it can be done in 3.5 hours. when someone pays you for the job, just do it and take the money. if the car is a waste of time for you, just decline the job and don't make a video crying and complaining how a piece of shit that work is. Be more PROFESOINAL
I like to complain. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Always looking for something better. It's just too much for you. Your idea of professionalism doing a clutch in 3 1/2 hours sound like a quick and dirty hack. I don't think your idea of professionalism is the same as mine. Your reality is not my reality. People who don't complain, do not strive to make things better, and take things as they are. Just my point of view.
Serial killers don't complain either.
@@RustBeltAuto Well sir, 3.5 hours looks like a dirty hack for you I'm sorry for just knowing my cars top to bottom. I always inspect everything, lube it and use all the right tools. All my works are carefully inspected before the shop manager let them go and my come back rating is almost none. I'm proud of my work. I don't waste my time when i'm working. Once I start a car, I don't stop until is done. that's how shit get done in half the time. After I'm done: I can eat, complain or waste my time on anything I want. That's without saying that half of the time also help my customers fixing little stuff that I find free of charge, making them happy customers and coming all the time asking for my services. That's the meaning of being a professional on any part of the world. But if CRYING and complaining to the car works for you, then bless you.
@@angelpabon7580 you sound like you are complaining, and carrying on. I won't read all of that gibberish. Nothing like some guy trying to tell me how awesome he is, and how much he knows. I'm glad you're so self important, and self reflecting. I'm sure everyone wants to be like you, because your such a wonderful person. Personally, I don't care.
@@RustBeltAuto 🤣🤣 I know you wanna be like me when you grow up. 🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂🤣
What a crap car. Subaru’s 👎
The Subaru people seem to like them.
AHAHAH yea right you know what's crap? working on a b series Honda trying to get at the alternator what were they smoking when they decided to put the alternator at the back side of the engine. You know another great Honda feature my all time favourite is the hood release breaking off in your hand when you go to pop the hood.
You obviously need to learn to work on cars without being to ham fisted then. Keep trying 😀👍😂
Just saying I'd rather work on a Subaru for the most part over a civic.. I'll take a Civic over some pos domestic though
