Just finished this mod a week ago. Way, way easier than I thought it would be. Some notes from my experience: -Remove the hose from the new plug and tighten the plug with a 1” socket. It’s just much easier this way. -Be careful when you cut the bottom heater core hose (the one nearest the floor that connects to a black metal pipe fitting on the engine block NOT a silver metal pipe) because there’ll likely be coolant in it still. Just have a bucket handy. -To pinch off the hose whilst bleeding the system I used a pipe wrench which I tightened onto the hose while the car was running, got back into the driver’s seat and revved a few times then crawled back under the car and removed the pipe wrench. Other than that it was surprisingly easy and I’ve had zero issues! I’m definitely getting slightly lower operating temperatures too!
@@brotherboost I took it to a shop and had a restrictor put in because it wasn't working at all. They got it to work but only if it's above 3000 rpm or under sustained load. I think its the placement of the hoses on the T fitting.
@@imuruncledaddy8753 I posted in a forum and so far I’ve gotten two responses. One guy said that he installed his on the wrong hose and it did not mess with his heat. Another guy said that a blow head gasket could cause that. I’ll keep you updated with other responses.
@@imuruncledaddy8753 I don’t think it’s a blown head gasket but I would just try to make sure you complete burp the system with your heat all the way on and if that doesn’t work then I would take the cooling mood out and see if it works
Dude good video. I like how well u explained it, but next time can you get a camera man/women? That way people like me who don’t know much about engines can get a full thorough understanding of how you worked around any possible obstacles to get it in. I don’t mean it in a passive aggressive way or to talk shit to u.
Would you mind sponsor him like 2k? Am sure hes happy to use it toward a cameraman. Hes making a video at his own expense and time to at your cost just a stinky subscribe amd view. Dont be an ass and ask for too much
This mod is pretty unnecessary in most cases. If you run your car hard than yeah. Good idea. But If its a daily that you just putt around in and maybe do a few pulls every now and then, this mod won’t do you much good. Motor will be fine. Use good gas and have a good tune.
Theres nothing you can do to make these pieces of garbage reliable and for how alow they are, it's quite pathetic how unreliable they are. Subaru should go out of businesses.
Thanks for making this! Looking forward to doing this mod soon.
Subie Seduction it’s a lot of talking but I tried to cover it all.
Your car will still suck cock
Finally gonna bite the bullet and do this to my ‘13 WRX Hatch tomorrow. Thank you for the tutorial 🙏🏻

If you get the rubber pad for the jack stands you can put them on the pinch welds. I think they are available on amazon.
Andrew Soltis I’ll check that out! Thank you
Love that the valve stem caps were the first part! 🤣
😂😂
yay for good dog, yay for good human.
2 year update ?
Did you notice the temps drop ?
maybe a 02 sensor socket would work
Ohhh good point
This is actually my passager side
Apparently Subaru use to do this on the older libertys then they stopped doing it they reckon it didn’t work for some reason
Hmmm. Good to know. I wonder why
Awesome video mate!
I will reference this once I get my kit delivered.
Thank you 🙂👍
Great thank you!
Thanks for the video. I also have a 13 Hatch. How is the mod holding up? I’m going to be installing next week
Great! I have no complaints. Never had any issues
Any link for purchase?
would this be beneficial for basically any EJ25?
To my understanding, yes
So i did this mod and my heat only works over 3000 RPM. Did I cut the wrong hose?
Hmmm. That’s a good question. I’ll try to find out. Did you make sure there was no air in your lines

@@imuruncledaddy8753 I guess the next bast thing to try would be to put it back how it was and see if your heat works normal.

Should I do this for my 18 sti?
I would but I don’t know too much about the 18’s
Did you do it? I have an 18 aswell
how many miles were you at when you installed ? i just hit 70k and im thinking this is a good idea. i dont abuse my car though
I was around 60k and I go easy on mine as well I would do it for sure
Hey, how is this mod working after almost 2 years?
It’s working great. I’ve never had any issues and no leaks
@@brotherboost will do it soon on my new to me 12 wrx. oNLY 67K MILES, BUT GOTTA DO IT ON TIME.
@@RacingAlien Yessir!!

This video full of talking
Hey bud I have a question if you can help I got a 2013 Impreza wrx and kinda having an issue with the cooling system. Can you email me if your free?
