- Well, here we go again... How much did it cost me to build the 2005 Subaru WRX STI's new engine set up. So we rebuilt a set of 2006 Subaru STI Case halves, pistons, rods the whole shebang! To be honest it really was not as much as I had thought it was. Hope the video helps!

I still remember watching your videos about changing the sway bar, changing your breaks, and freaking out over the spiders in the old garage. and It’s amazing how far you’ve come. Keep the momentum goin! Forever a fan.
We've grown a bit. But everything I've learned has been from making these videos. Curious to see where we will be in the future 🔥😁
Not bad :D I could never do a video like this... the less my wife knows, the better
😉😉😉😉
just finished my IAG closed deck build. 2k miles on it at 420whp an loving every moment. Bags coming at the end of the month! your channel inspired me to do a lot of the stuff during my build. I live pretty close to you i am waiting to see you on the highway one day!
I've been mobbing around recently so hopefully it happens! Yassss I low key miss my bags 🔥😅
Yessss letsss gooooooo
What's your Instagram? I live in Enumclaw, have an outback xt that is built.
Haha lesss goo thats dope yall from WA too
I just love how your video quality has gone up up up up so much from the start! keep it up bro!
Trying to continue to improve them 🔥😁
As always these videos and builds are very informative and I really appreciate the fact that you give us an idea how much to look forward to spending.
Glad that they've helped and I try to be as transparent as possible 🔥
Man the work you all do out there is amazing. We have a great Subaru community.
Yessss we do 🔥😁
That’s one hell of a build. Followed you all the way on this one. Great job
She's come a long way 🔥
I like this because this is just super informative as to how much you wanna build an engine
Very true, always good to do these videos 🔥😁
Man not gonna lie you have some of the best car pron in my opinion, over all not to bad as far as cost goes. Can't wait for the tune videos, karma is gonna be a beast. Absolutely love the content
Eyyyy always appreciate the support ❤❤❤❤
appreicate the information even though it is private this helps me out alot when planning things out great video
Glad that it helped 🔥❤
Do a video going over your recommendations of performance upgrades in order for a new Subaru and what stuff you can upgrade, would be good
Can make that happen 🔥
New Subie owner. I had a 2016 wrx with the FA20 and i felt confident while building it. With this being the last gen with the EJ, i had to get a 2020 STI to see what all the humbug was about and GOOD GRIEF... There is so much to building these things
There is definitely alot to them but they're not too bad 😁😁😁

Love this build brother. Can't wait to see your E85 numbers.
Hopefully she makes some good soup 🔥
Hey man! I just wanted to say I have watched almost every single video on this build, and I just finally picked up my very first Subaru! (02 bugeye)
Congrats!!!! How are you liking it?!
Mad 02 gang
@@Smeedia man I love it!! It’s got a few bolt on’s and a dyno tune putting me around 270 wheel horse power, and man I couldn’t be any happier. I’ve never had so much fun with a car! But keep up the content man I absolutely love watching your build, I’ve been watching since you picked up the car!
I love how I learn more from you than I do from a performance shop .
❤❤ I don't know everything but I'll always share what I do know 🙏
Love your videos brother, love all these builds you have.
Eyyyy thank you! Appreciate the support 🔥❤
Always eager to see a new video !!!Thanks
😁😁😁
At this point i'm something like 50k (i'm too scared to check) into my 08 sti project including the car. We're talking full suspension, poly bushings, wheels, closed deck block, built/ported heads, rotated, externally gated g30-660, meth injection, full in tank dual pump to injectors fuel system, all supporting mods plus a ton of carbon for the interior and exterior. Besides the money/time i'm pretty sure it's cost me a small piece of soul too. Hoping to crack 450 whp on 93/meth and 500 whp on 110.
Keep me posted on numbers, sounds like it'll be a fun build in the end 😁
Damn that’s expensive as hell for that power
mannnnnn if you’re closed deck get that g30-900 and make some power bro! depending on ur fuel pump/injector size it sounds like your setup can handle way more than what that 660 is capable of
@@devon5078 iag rates the block for 700-750 bhp is believe. So 600-650 whp. On pump/meth @ 22-23 psi I did 420/405 and on e50/meth @24-25 psi It made 475/467. The tmic was just getting too hot on the dyno so my tuner wasn't comfortable pushing it much further. It's now back on e75 pushing 28-29 psi, getting a fmic, short runner na intake manifold and port methanol injection. Depending on outside temps I'm seeing between 62-65 lbs/min airflow compared to 54-55 lbs/min when it made that 475/467 so low to mid 500s should be no problem. Somewhere down the road I'll be looking into either a g30-770 or g30-900 as I'm pretty much at the limit of what this turbo can do. It does hit 29 psi by 3900 rpms in 4th which is great for the daily driver/back road warrior I wanted though.
@@donmerrigan2362 fuck yea thats a good setup for response and just fun daily driving, but those closed deck blocks can take some fucking crazy abuse
Hey man, your videos gave me the confidence to buy and try to diagnose and fix a no start on a 1996 wrx gc8 ! Thank you! Just put my first little video on it out.
Glad that they've helped and going to check it out when I get some time, always love watching everyone else's videos 😁
@@Smeedia Appreciate it bro, thank you. :)
Im stoked to see whats coming with your subie,
it just keeps getting crazier youre nuts lol! i love it hahaha
Finaly watching videos on the day the come out !
cant wait to see more of them
Eyyyyyyy always more to come 😁😁😁
Hey tanner man keep up the great things you do 👍
Always appreciate the support plumber 🙌🙌
You did a great job on that build and Kyle did an excellent job on the fab work 👍🏼👍🏼
After Josh talks you into upgrading to a 4-port switch hide it out of sight for a super clean look. Looking forward to seeing some more road dyno 🌙 tuning sessions and a track day 🚕💯💯🏁
We may not need the 4 port but can't wait to see what the car will do 🔥
@@Smeedia I do recall seeing on Steve's channel where he said by using it 3-port you could eliminate the turbo flutter noise. That's one positive for the 3-port but I know normally Josh likes the 4-port. She's going to be making the 🌶️ sauce 🚕💨🏁
All things considered 🤔
This isn't exactly a terrible amount of money spent. Reusing good parts saves you money (I acquired about $7k worth of FB/flex parts via a part-out 2 yrs ago which I plan to install over the winter and paid a good but under that $7k too) and getting the bottom end for free saved a bit too.
I'm looking to pick up 11'+ heads/18'+ halves very soon. Your motor build (if my math was right) was just under 5k....which is making me very happy. That actually fits my budget.
I'm not going super big rotated probably ever and something like your first FP Black setup would do me just fine.
Thanks for the breakdowns and the content. I'll have content in the future for my own stuff soon enough.
It's really not terrible for the power she's making now 🔥 reusing parts definitely saves some $$$. And yessir. Was about 4.6K for everything at top MSRP cost. You can definitely get parts cheaper
I spent 21k for my 16 sti with 34k miles and a rebuilt title. Got 12k miles on it before it spun a bearing. I’m now spending 34k for a stage 4 closed deck with all supporting mods, rotated 3567r, flex fuel. Gonna sit right around 600whp. That includes all the labor aswell and a 2 year warranty
Not terriblewith labor included and should be fun power to play with 🔥
Expensive af lol. My builder has lots of motors laying around and thankfully my bucket issue he was able to solve without charging me extra, super nice.
That's always nice 🔥👌
Great video. I think its expensive to modify any car. Every car that you want to make power with needs almost everything you mentioned anyway. I guess after doing it you may realise its probably better to do the big build the 1st time. Almost every Subaru owner starts with a bigger stock location and its supporting mods and within a year you're considering a built motor and a big turbo rotated setup.
For real, better off just starting going rotated to save some money where you can 🔥
Awsome, glad to see all this coming along. The more eg I see, the more you will see me 😉.
Hopefully it'll be coming back soon 😪💔
Very nice build, I’m getting my build ready to be tuned, hoping to get 300hp nothing big at all but for sure is gonna be fun and I’m gonna be able to beat some sti out there lol
Eyyyyy should be plenty fun 🔥🙌
You can’t beat no sti with 300 WHP😂
From Subaru Speed Junkies, We thank you for sharing 🙏 😀
❤❤❤
this is some damn good soup! waiting for winter to start my hawkeye build hehe, loving the content!
Whats the game plan for the hawk 🔥😁
@@Smeedia bigger turbo, flex fuel kit, etc. basically a smaller scale of what you have done, it already has fbo and 99.75 weisco pistons with 09 sti crankshaft and a whole lot of other goodies, can’t wait for spring to see dyno numbers, and following along with you is helping a lot with the plan, not sure if i want to go rotated or not
Send it 😈😈😈😈😈
@@Smeedia thank you man!
@@Smeedia quick question, do you think i should film the progress and start a channel on the build?
"This is rated for 750 Crank horsepower"
Tanner: 1. hold my beer 2. I didn't read that anywhere.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's the capabilities of what the rods are rated for
Curious as to what the wheel setup was?
I love the sucked in look, and I have been looking at these wheels for a hot minute.
I know they make different offsets for the same size rims. Thinking "18" for me, but Curious if you did 19s, as I think enkei puts deepest look on those.
Love the vids.
Live in western WA forever. Never seen the taxi rolling around but man!
Cheers!
i had to find some ethanol resistant sealant and reseal my iag fuel rails. For some reason my car rattled the plugs out 🤷♂️no gushing fuel leaks since🤞
Oh dear lord 😳😳😳
I wish I could have you build mine like this.
Bruh , that build 😍💯
😁🙌😁🙌😁🙌
Hey man just wanted to let you know you really inspired me to build my own motor I am coming from diesel trucks so they are a lot less precise lol do you have anything I should watch for or spend more time on?
Just take the time to verify your measurements and make sure it's all 👌 aside from that wouldent stress it too much 😁
All that money and work for the car to make an estimated 292WHP in the last video 😂😂 All jokes aside I love this car and this channel. Excited for the '17 STI to come back
Lol hey 292 is more than stock 😅😅
Last update was 505WHP on pump gas 🔥 about to start E85 tuning next
And sammmme we need her back 😭
@@Smeedia damn, pushing some power now! Are you going to eventually get it on a dyno to see real numbers?
I'd like to at some point 🔥
@@Smeedia Hopefully we can see that beast rip a dyno one day. I'd like to know real numbers but hey, if it never happens who cares. Cars a beast and looks amazing. Keep it up fam!
This build is very similar to mine.. I went with kelford hi lift 282 cams and GSC beehive springs, weisco boostline rods, walbro 450 single pump, my heads are race ported, i still have the stock intake manifold, I didn’t go rotated but I but a blouch dom 5 and I have a air to water Intercooler. Pretty much everything else is the same. I don’t think you remembered to calculate the tgv deletes..
No TGV deletes needed with the AMS manifold 🔥😁 long runner manifold
@@Smeedia oh yeah I forgot you remove them for that manifold lol
I should have done more research before I got my 2018 wrx. I'm at fbo e60 and I want more power. Cost too much to go further. Its definitely fun to drive.
Thr DziT engined are great up to 400ish WHP, then they get $$$$
You are not wrong saying "expensive to make power". I went as far as I could on the stock motor with E85 and got 400 at the wheels for a cost of around $9,500.00. Don't tell the wife...lol
Your secret is safe with me 🤫
What year ur sti
@@RB25luv 2011, and I was wrong. It cost a lot more after the tune and all the small things to get there. I learned a whole lot thou.
This stuff ain't cheap.. Soon as my cars paid off.. I'm gonna be stepping my game up.. Don't know what I'm going to get yet.. But something I can leave mostly stock that's already fast maybe make a few mod's and have her turned up a little.. But something to keep and just take out on weekends.. I'm gonna save for another 2 years and see what comes out between now and 2024..
Don't blame ya at all, these get pricey very quickly to build
i tried to run that radium hardwire kit and the wire was undersized and too short. why do I need 10 feet of black wire and 10 red? the 10 feet was not enough to get me to my preferred relay location. give me 15 feet of red and 5 black!! ended up just using the relay and fuse from the kit and got my own true 10ga wire...
That's what I did with my 17 as well worked beautifully in that car. But the I wire kit worked great for the 05
Im ready to get my 6062 gen 2 with .64 AR vband in/out 3" outlet🔥🔥🔥
Yasssss!!!!
I do live vicariously through you! spend spend spend! lol
Lol I'll do what I can 😅😅😅
Random question. Wanting to go stage 2 on a 19 wrx. Deciding on a j pipe. Resonated vs non and if non would you recommend the new ets gesi since it's a high flow cat from what ets has said about it. Or are they all relatively the same.
Resonated, will definitely help kill the drone in the car 🔥
I like those headlights.... Would they fit a Legacy GT? :o annoyed as all hell at the stock lights. Great video and informative :)
Thank you! And unfortunately they wouldent fit 😭
@@Smeedia noooooo u.u ok u.u
Unrelated question. Where did you get ze gasket for the flares. Got my set coming in soon for my RSTi and want the gasket.
This is what I used 😁

Crazy build, and very expensive. I know this car would be a blast to drive in its condition it sits at right now, but the issue I have with builds like this are that they still suffer in performance compared to cars with the same power levels of today. 0-60mph times on this Subaru wont even hit the 3's, and 1/4 mile times are maybe in the 10's, which is not that great for the amount of $$ put into modifying this build, trying to make it faster. For example, if you bought an MK7 R, which used right now you can find in the $20k's, and you add a hybrid turbo upgrade, tune, downpipe, intercooler, and fueling, which would cost you $4000-4500 in total, you are hitting 3-second 0-60's and 10 second 1/4 miles. I know everyone likes specific cars for specific reasons, but to spend this much money trying to make your Subaru fast, but in the end it won't be compared to today's cars, is just not smart, even as a car enthusiast. It's best to keep an older Subaru stock and just enjoy it. If you want to mod a car, get something that's a better platform.
Definitely not cheap but like you said specific cars. It'll take on hellcats when on E from a dig or a roll. 0-60 times I don't care too much for but also have to keep in mind the Weight and drive train.
For me it's the simplicity of older cars, less tech, easy to work on, relatively affordable parts. I've looked at golf Rs the past few weeks because I've wanted one and they're all 30-35K right meow
suede dash looks dope
Well worth it for $60 🙌
the money to power ratio on these cars are insane. i cant even imagine dumping that much money into a car lol
The 17STI is worse 😳
My flex kit, rods n pistons, front mount, turbo, and all the other stuff cost me about 19k for 450whp. Any thoughts?
I want to see you build a 550+hp FA20. No one is doing it. LEAD THE WAY TANNER.
Possible but would cost some $$$ 😅
Question my iag stage 2 block has had the same amount of piston slap since day one it's at 3000 miles now the piston slap last for 2 to 3 minutes thirty seconds after cold startup is that normal?
Totally normal, once the material reaches temp, the thenral expansion makes it nice and tight 👌 also depends on the pistons. My Je pistons don't have much slap
@@Smeedia thanks
can you recommend a replacement hose kit? for the ej205? i buy the OEM ones but they crack under high temp after 50k
Honestly OEM would be my suggestion. The aftermarket swell over time.
I watched this video and didn't know my wife was listening, I no longer have control of my money.
God speed my friend 😅🔥
will the gearbox hold ? is it that made of " glass " on the bug eye modell ?
The 5 speeds are glass, the sti 6 speed will definitely hold no problem 🔥
Man this car makes my oil pan leak!!!🔥💯🤯🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
How much did you spend on the upgraded brake system to control Karma’s speed?
Oe replacement rotors, hawk pads, ss brake lines and a master cylinder brace. I'd say $450 or so
What are those small black wings on the side of your car on the bumper called?
Canards 🙏
Are you running the IAG AOS Street Seires or Competition for the taxi?
Competition 🙏
Are the pistons and rods on 2016 wrx/ Sti different? I've seen incredible hp #s on stock sti engines.
Same same, the 2019+ pistons are diffrent though
Makes me miss my yellow 03 wrx wagon..Hmmm how much has my LS swap cost me so far?.. I lost track because its depressing to think about it. I think somewhere around 8k but that's just a quick guess.
I don't like to think about cost when I can avoid it 😅
Wait what happened to the 6 cyl sti? Haven’t seen anything on it for a while…
Still at Fab. Waiting for Kyle to finish it 😭
How much money do you think I would need to make 425 whp on my 20 sti and Do you build other people's car if so how much would you charge? Approximately
I don't anymore, I just don't have the time right now to do so 😖 using quality parts around $10,000 or so
Question if you wore to buy a truck to take you’re race car to the track what kinda truck would you buy !?
Would have to be a turbo diesel, I've always wanted a Cummins 😅🔥
Or a dirtymax....
Did you run a stock ra short block? Or anything done to it? And what heads with what done? I’m doing a 450-480 wheel build and was debating on iag short block or ra??
Was a stock RA block with built heads and an FP Black for a while then built the engine and did a rotated 6062 🙏
@@Smeedia thanks! Was planning on running iag stage 2 tuff with stock heads but if this is more reasonable price wise and just as reliable I’ll probably do this
Bro Motul X-cess 5w 40 or Motul x-clean 5w 40 which series is best for a 2005 built sti ,thanks!
Between those two x-cess
X-clean is for the 2012 and newer EJ20's and EJ25's. I run x-cess 5w40
Daaaang bro. That's a shopping list. If you don't mind me asking, Is that TH-cam cash?
Also, is that an old NIN shirt your wearing in some of the clips?
No it's not all youtube cash lol doing 3 or 4 motor builds paid for alot of it 🙏
And NIN shirt?
@@Smeedia Very respectable! You've worked hard for all that!
Nine inch nails. Saw a concert shirt like that long time ago. But I'm guessing that's not what you got on 😂
Ohhh 🤣 no can't say I own any of them 😅
You loose the Subaru sound with the killerB but the torque and heat off two and four is worth it.
Imo the ELH set up is 👌🤌
Why pull hot air from enigine? How much does cold induction make?
With the intake on I see IATs around +/-2* ambient 🙏
Where did you get your dash cover
It's flocked 🙏
th-cam.com/video/HRupjpbtfWo/w-d-xo.html
Hey so I have a 2018 Subaru wrx when I put it into 6th gear in my manual my car didn’t want to go it shit off so I kept trying to turn it back on it would stay on for a second then shut off them when I turn it back on and press the gas it was back on and stayed on what do I think it could be also it’s completely stock
So the car turns in but dies
If you hold thr throttle peddle it will stay on but die when you let off correct?
@@Smeedia yes but once I floor it this morning it hasn’t had any issues many people are thinking fuel pump but I want to know ur thoughts about the situation
No CELs coming up?
@@Smeedia no not at all it only happened 1 time and hasn’t had any issues yet so far
Time to see if my guess was close!
😈😈😈
Yes!! He made my video
😁😁😁😁
At what rpm does the 6062 kick in? Same on pump gas as e85?
Haven't done E85 yet but right now about 5K because of the open T4 flange 😖 a V band hot side will bring it down to about 4.4K
@@Smeedia Damn 4.4k will be a really nice kick in point honestly, still got a decent powerband at least
What headlights do you have?
OEM 🙏
So 23k for what I want to do. Not horrible. Not great but not horrible. Hope tuning is going well.
About to start the E85 tuning, video on that soon 🙌
@@Smeedia ooooooohhhh. I'm so jealous I won't lie. I want to just switch to flex and maybe do a 20g on my 19. Damn stupid California. The 23k would be my dream build for a 2nd motor.
Lol this looks so tempting just to clean up the engine bay. I'm so damn tired of all the factory hoses.
Sammmmme, cleans things up a lot 🔥
I'm curious..
Why the smaller EWG? Going for higher pressures?
With that turbo (like mine) spool, a 44mm I thought would be better in your config.
I got the full ETS kit from intake through IC and exhaust, and with 44, there is VERY little lag right now, even on a base MAP..
So, just was curious to know why the smaller EWG. :D
Also, I have my own spreadsheets that I've tracked since owning the car, and how much I've invested since I bought it.
I would be more than happy to share this out, and for each person would be unique for all the 'little' stuff. I have ever single purchase scanned, and picture proof of what was involved to show.
But, with receipts.. I have now invested over just shy of $100k in my build with both "Power", and "Looks" with the base car price. Will find out the HP numbers on the Dyno next week after MONTHS of waiting! But, it should be somewhere in the realm of 450-470 HP on E85, and the tuner says will be safe.
If you're doing this, just the biggest thing I can/will ever say, PLEASE just build things right. The base EJ257 is stable, just do your build right, and understand it ain't going to be cheap.
38mm you'll want for higher boost, 44mm lower boost 🙏
Oh boi, I do not like looking at mine like that, I think all kn all I'm maybe 50K into this one 😅😅😅
I hope machine work was done for bearing clearances to compensate for the arp case bolts.....if not, good bye engine
Only torqued the ARP Case bolts to OE specs so no need to line hone
Now that I followed on ig I get to keep up to date on the channel LETS GOOO! Just sold my Jeep Wrangler for a down payment on a wrx! Keep it up dude!
Yasssss IG gets info before YT 😅 congrats on the car dude!
Did you sell this car by chance? I legit saw this car drive by me on the Bangor Washington naval base today!
Yessir I did new owner is stationed out there lol
@@Smeedia that’s awesome! It’s a beautiful car, the new owner sure is a lucky guy! :)
Building super high horsepower engines is an expensive enterprise, with many a twist and filled with surprise after surprise. Whatever your budget might be, be sure to carry a financial buffer, a contingency. Now can someone tell me after all is said and done what is the expected life expectancy of a north of 600 WHP rotated turbo 2.5 EJ closed deck H4, seriously?
We shall find out 😅😅😅 however a lot of variables go into that
Viciously is right. Fuck me my dude. My jaw dropped. I'm so grateful for the awesome content. Not only the content but the education. I hope it is lucrative. I'm buying some merch asap. 🤑
What cost effective car you recommend for WHP?
How much power do you want and what do you want the car to do?
@@Smeedia mazdaspeed 3. 350-400whp for like literally just fuel pump internals, intake, exhaust, and tune
@@Smeedia give me all the HP to do it all!!!
I have asked this before but I'm a poopie face. What is the cobb program called so I can make my own tunes? Lol
Accesstuner 🙏
Bader sells his stage 4 already assembled for like $4900 why not just go with that? Other than obviously the experience of building it yourself
Not bad at all! For me I wanted to build my own for the experience 🔥
@@Smeedia yea that makes sense, plus this most likely won’t be your last time building an engine, for someone like me it would probably be more cost effective to have Bader build me a short block so that I don’t have to purchase all of the specific tools to do it because they may only ever get used a single time. I still want to build one though so it’s a double edged sword
Such a sick build! I love watching you put all the scoobies together
Eyyyy thank you my friend 🔥🙏
Me coming back to this video as I sold my hatch and bought a complete restoration blobeye STI. Need a video on a great set up for 400whp!
Ohhhh jelly! Congrats on the blob! 🥳 what are the details on it?!
@@Smeedia Rolling shell with engine, trans and axles. Pulled the motor apart to find some glue/gasket maker seeped into the cylinder bore causing one cylinder to stop mid stroke! Re-watched your "how to make x horsepower" and pulled some ideas from the list. Had a question about the FP Blue Turbo!
Whatcha curious about 💪
Fire 🔥
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Have you ever heard of anyone swapping a cvt auto to manual??
It's not unheard of but more of a pain in newer models because of the TCM (transmission control module)
You going to boxer fest?
I wish 😪
I like the abscence of BS in the videos. True, not made to make 600+ hp but, but, but, they are so much fun and can retain usability.
With the discussion videos I try to keep keep BS out as much as possible. 🙏🙏
Built or OEM RA block for 400-450whp goal on E85 🤔
Whats the budget? 🔥
@@Smeedia haven’t decided. This would be a future goal. Little FP blue more than likely. Doesn’t need to be dead set at 4-450. Uppers 300s-400 would suffice.
RA Block should be fine 🔥
My RA block holding 431whp/400tq reliably. Just don’t go over 29psi and you’ll be fine, I learned that the hard way😅😂
@@almightysir8372 thanks for the input haha. I don’t full send too much so my stock ej255 has been fine in my 06 wrx.
Damn 21k that’s more than my subie is worth
Ill spend as much as I can for my wrx and civic🤑! 0% worry free!
Untill gf hits my head with a frying pan for spending 🙃 lol 😂👍🏼. (Not literally) Im waiting for corbue seats 🤭 but she dont know that.
Lovin the vids T! And respect the builds you're doing👍🏼🔥🔥🔥!
Lol she doesn't have to know 😅🤫
hi tanner who is going to tune it to the moon bud
Random, but I know you looked like someone. You look like Jim from TWD
Going to have to look now 😅
Let's go!
🙌🙌🙌
Subaru's just seem like such a massive overhaul to make any real power.. Meanwhile Ive been running 650whp for about 6 years(80K miles) on my CSS K24 with just upgraded rods, pistons and valvetrain.. Motor build cost me maybe $3K? No machine work needed, no fabrication, no nothing.. K's are monsters.
Those K24s hold some nice power 🔥 subarus are definitely not cheap to make power with but something about em that we love
@@Smeedia For sure.. Subbies are really unique cars and Im sure they are rewarding to build and get right.. Me personally, My wife would kill me if I bought a subaru and modded it lol... Our bank account would drain faster than Usain Bolt running the 100m.. I guess sponsored builds really help.. Sadly just dont have the time to do the YT grind. I chose Honda's for their reliability, ease of modding, power they hold and far cheaper price points for parts. Its just amazing I can beat a 2.4 liter for 6 years with this much power and never have one issue.. Just stuck with my maintenance and had her retuned once a year. Thats it.
Sheesh, this is why my bugeye is getting the rally car treatment. Still gunna be ~450whp but it'll be reliable and I can rip it on dirt/gravel and snow and street. So it'll be just expensive but hopefully won't explode on me as often lmao
That seems like plenty of power for off road 😅🔥
@@Smeedia basically just trying to copy Subaru's 2001 WRC car lol
