Dude looks like the final person you would have to race in a need for speed game
He's way *ahead* of the game.
I wouldn't wanna go H2H with him. I'd lose. lol
Lol true shit
Nah he looks more like the guy you first meet getting into town and he shows you around and lets you drive a handful of cars he's just got sitting around to get you started
Fuck need for speed
Forza all day!
The joint Subaru/Toyota project we really wanted instead of the BRZ/GT86
The Tuner Garage Channel has a video of a GT-86 with a 2JZ swap. They are from Panamá.
That would be a better bang for you $.
Front end looks so clean and aggressive, sick engine install too!
2JZ content never gets old. Small world, I’m almost certain Lonnie’s tuner is Harry.
yes he did tune it
naw, doctor charles
sam He did the base map on my 2JZ build I’m currently doing.
It's old its officially old
Welcome To The Madness yeah it’s a very small world because harry is my tuner as well
The Subaru hatch with the RB26 would be a good face off with this 2JZ Subaru.... I would wanna see that.
The hatch still has awd and also makes more power than this tho 🤔
The hondaru from boosted boyz should be interesting against it too.
@@MegaPelolindo hondaru is nowhere near 700hp. It wouldn't stand a chance..
ClutchkickPJ if I'm not mistaken ,they plan to have hondaru around that power soon

Lol I comment the same comment/idea before reading any of the comments in the comment section.
My bad. Didn’t mean to steal your thunder lol.
I'll never get tired of the sound of a 2J on gate. Absolutely love it
Casting Couch but for car guys
Best comment 😂
Was gonna say the same thing haha
I don’t even know why , but I thought the exact same thing lol
Brian Maldonado 🤦♂️😆😂🤜🏾
Literally thought that instantly when he’s like can you start it for me?
Crazy how a 20 year old engine still outperforms engines in 2022
not really... stock for stock 2JZ is weak sauce. its only upside is it's got a stout block that can hold a lot of power. any new 300+ engine will out perform it while using half the gas. 2JZ can make crazy HP reliably, but not without a lot of money.
gwot thats not the point but ok
@@JaziahZ34 with the same amount of money and mods? 2jz vs new? doesn't really "outperform". how is that not the point?
@@gwot u obviously don't know nothing about 2jz. It's probably the best engine ever built
@@cautionontherun30 in terms of power tunability, yes, I don't disagree. But you need a lot of money... Just like every other engine. As an OVERALL engine, it's mediocre. An engine is not just about how much power a stock block can hold.
This is one of the cleanest 2jz swaps I've seen especially with all the custom fan work that has gone into it. And it all fits very nice. 10+ on this build. Congrats 🏁🏁🏁
the sound. the set up. the color. incredible
2jz into everything
JCE10NYC 2jz everything and I mean everything
LS the worl-
2jz Everything
nahhh k24>all
Bro i just saw a 2JZ crown vic 😂 2JZ really is taking over lol
@@ArtVandelayOfficial lmao
Shit the intro looks like a need for speed cut scene. When you’re about to face a boss race
spot on haha
I quit with nfs when the achievements started. "Boss race" is hilarious. So the franchise truly did go to crap.
That’s so funny
There's an army of EJ folks breaking their vape pins right now.😅
No man we out here blowing ringlands. 😂
Nate Beaulieu is that why you vape to match your boxer?
Nate Beaulieu it’s our worse nightmare
Scott Beaulieu dont bring your family issues here lol
Jake Browne lmao 😆 holy shit. I never look at usernames on YT I just read a comment and hit reply. I didn’t think my last name was common at all nevermind to reply to someone with it without noticing.
This is the perfect combination of all of my favorite things between the car, the motor and the paint color. Amazing build Lonnie.
Would've been perfect if it was still awd
The cam chop on this thing is RIDICULOUS... this is one of the sickest most creative builds I’ve ever seen
This video brings me joy. Even as a Subie guy, seeing a 2jz in a stinkeye is weird but the 2jz is a fucking beast! So I'm okay with this!
Edit: The fact that this guy had a 2jz to put in his stinkeye is crazy enough but he got it working and running well is even crazier...fucking amazing!
My boy made it! That right there is one of the best builds I ever seen.
Hey random person scrolling down the comments..
Have a great day! :)
Mi vida es una mierda
No you
GuelphRacing uno reverse card
Thank you, same too you.
Thx
To think I know this dude from way back and when I first seen him roll up with this was jaw dropping since I ain’t seen him in years. Good for you bro! Stay up
My god what a beast. Not a fan of the exhaust, but this is Subie goals 😍
Great, nothing better than a custom build. Love it, shout out to everyone who’s done or doing their own signatures. Hope one day my G35s sedan make it to TRC.
This guy is a certified BAD ASS, respect Lonnie!
Been following this guys build since he first dropped it in. Thing is a monster now
Subaru, 2jz, Nardo grey.......Perfection!
That idling at 6:08, that says enough for me
Why Lonnie look so mad lol
What are you talking about? doesn't look mad at all
He just has an angry resting face that’s all lmao I have the same issue. You literally can’t help it and wont really be able understand why unless you have it
Agreed. I would have a shit eating grin glued to my face if this was my ride.
RBS. Resting Bitchface Syndrome.
Diego Arce cause he got the sedan instead of the hatchback
This is the first time I've seen a 2JZ in a Subaru, sick color!
What a way to end the night, beautiful car.
Clean job. I also like that he kept the dual exhaust👍
A Toyota engine bolted to a Nissan tranmission inside a Subaru. That's really exotic
And it's painted Audi Nardo Grey! So good :-D
I followed Davis since he had his Subaru motor and watched when he started his 2JZ project freaking amazing! 👏👏👏👏
Where is all his progress? I’m curious to see how everything was put together. This guy gives me insane hope.
2 things..
1- Hoonigan build breakdown
2- Race everything everywhere with video for all us at home
😁
Man - After pushing track time with a Carbonetic Triple Clutch after a year, we pulled the clutch and blew the dust off of it. Most impressive clutch I have ever seen to date.
I believe this is the best combination yet. Fresh chassis + 2jzgte
Awd rb26 suby>rwd 2jz suby 🤷♂️
It's a 2JZGE, but still. I agree.
The only good thing about new Supra brother is that nobody will buy it cuz bmw got them dirty hands on it, that’s for sure, who wants a Supra made by bmw, wtf...
Masterpiece daily driver. What a clean build
Owner is super chill! Amazing motor but can anyone help him out with the interior and headliner??? It’s a very unique car indeed!
Yeah it’s like he did everything engine wise but nothing else. I think by now he probably did something about it
Love the Car !! I'm not a 2JZ guy but this setup I like. It looks clean and very well done; Beautiful !!
A WRX without awd? HERESY!! Should've just put the 2jz in a BRZ.
Dan Spinabella nah that’s a small 2 door
like We Are Likewise ;-)
Dan Spinabella I like this car as it is
its been done in those toyota 86's , and theyre pretty much the exact same as brz's..
But this Blasphemy is good😩👌🏼
Audi/vw killin the paint game too... that Nardo grey and the Chalk grey are super 🔥
Lonnie car is nice for sure! Tuner needs to work on that idle and its perfect...
Dude it's got cams in it what are you talking about.. you can always tell people that have never built a car.
manrightchea no, should be able to get rid of the hunting idle even with cams.
@@4familyman Yeah if you want to idle at 3K. A big enough cam is going to hunt.
manrightchea not my first rodeo on tuning mild to wild cams. It only has a 6870 turbo, and even has stock rods. It won’t have super wild cams, unless they picked the wrong cam. It’s a tune problem. That’s fine, car is still badass. Just needs a little clean up on the idle settings.
Yeah, there's no excuse for that idle surge. I know big cammed 2jz's that are tuned very well.
That's a sexy Subaru. The 2jz in that Subaru makes it even better. Love the color and sound too. Awesome and epic.
Gotta love the 2JZ !!! Thinking more and more about swapping them into our S14s..(: great video !
That paint job is so clean
The problem is he was trying to built a 600 plus hp E.J. Dude filming the video did not even know about cd009 to JZ type swaps. NO AWD IN A SUBBIE I CANT VAPE TO THAT
This is fantastic. The moment I saw that engine, I was like 😲😲
Now rb swap a evo and let them go heads up
NO!
That would sure be something
The 4g63 is a great motor no need to swap an Evo
John Hinsely theres already a hatch with a rb26🤷🏽♂️maybe thats a competition,so similar yet so different
What the other guy said there’s a WRX hatch with an RB swap and full working all wheel drive system
I wanted to make note, the engine in this car is NOT a 2jz-GTE as the description indicates, it is a 2jz-GE Na-T car. The head is off of a non vvti 2jz-ge, as is the bottom, The coolant ports are out of the wrong side of the head, and you can see where the original distributor was by the block off plate next to the turbo.
Unique build, pretty cool!
if kanye west and Jamie fox had a baby.... nice car tho!
i don’t want to imagine those 2 mating
Kanye foxx
I was thinking more Kevin Hart, but I see what you mean lmao
Got that Kevin Hart stature 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Very clean engine bay! As much as I hate too see a 2j in anything other than a Supra... The fitment here is beautiful. Nice work to the owner and all who built it. 🏁🏁🏁
best year for subaru
😄 Definitely not
yeah! Laggggg
Oh Effex 06
That is the cleanest Subie I have ever seen...
Now thats a subaru worth buying 👌😐🤑😇
Lonnie, real cool guy I met him a few weeks ago asked him a few questions about his car, and I must say this video killed my curiosity 😂
Subarus are plenty reliable when you know what you're doing. Problem is half the community doesn't..
TTime685 problem is Subaru is garbage and always will have issues. As soon as you touch something under that engine bay, you run into problems. Some people get lucky, but that’s not the case most of the time
@@TheNuclearDestress Lol. You're just another idiot that doesnt know jack shit..
TTime685 lmao I’m just another car person that knows what I’m talking about. The people that buy them don’t know shit or they don’t have the money to spend on something nice. Then they try modding it, ends up blowing it up and realizes Subaru’s are fucking junk. Their motors are gaaaaarbage. Oh how do you know you ask? Because I’ve owned one before. Same old shit different day. Fuck Subaru
@@TheNuclearDestress Care to elaborate? They're far from the most cost-effective platforms to modify beyond the 350-400 AWHP threshold, but generally those willing to invest and build the engine properly and perform the supporting modifications don't have the same outlook...
Who built it? Who tuned it? What failure did you experience in what situation? What limitation are you speaking to that is not overcome with the wide selection of built closed-deck short blocks?
@@TTime685 I long my subaru but he's not wrong I'm on second engine at 85k and still at stock power ... Tranny is starting to go to and my car meticulously maintained and there's literally no other preventitive measures I can take anymore if this last engine goes before 75k I'm getting an Evo
that paint job is mad nice
How To Make A Subaru Reliable!
Step 1. Swap engine
Step 2. Enjoy

They’re unreliable cars?
@@aidenp5768 Someone will correct me if I've got any of this wrong, but the answer is, 'it depends.' When done right, they can be some of the most reliable high-horsepower modified cars available; when done cheaply, they are ticking time bombs. The EJ257 in the (US) WRX STI, and the EJ255 formally in the WRX, have several limits in the modification path. Some are easier to remedy, such as replacing the OEM oil pickup with a more robust aftermarket design, using an oil + change interval that capable of ensuring the oil stays within grade (major concern in this instance), and changing the fuel maps when modifying airflow characteristics. However, a significant limitation is with the pistons due to the nature (i.e., the price) of replacing the factory hypereutectic pistons (with something forged.) Essentially, the outer portion of a piston can fracture during a detonation, effectively destroying the engine, and the concern increases as the car is increasingly modified. Both engines are capable of making big power very, very reliably, but it's not as cost-effective as some other routes because this often entails a fully-built short block, nor is it as cost-effective as doing so with a Japanese-spec STI with an EJ207 engine that has stock internals capable of reliably handling significantly more power than the EJ255/257 (the EJ207's robustness is arguably more comparable to something like the 4G63 or SR20DET, in addition to its displacement). These engines require greater user knowledge to operate reliably than most other engines, and anyone considering one should arguably understand the pros/cons before committing, IMHO. Stock they are generally very reliable with competent care (with some exceptions, but this applies to all engines to some extent.) The drivetrain holds up very well to dramatically increased levels of power.
Reputation management has not helped here. Subaru's response to piston failures was really sub-par IMHO - for reasons I do not know, they did not revise the piston material until 2019, and some owners who experienced failures reported warranty horror stories, although the unknown factor is what percentage of owners experienced this for absolutely no fault of their own versus what percentage largely induced the issue by their own behavior (i.e., neglect, ignorance, or bad decision-making.) Subaru of America has, arguably and ironically, likely made the reputation for these engines worse by advocating an oil that is poorly-suited for these engines, and some individual dealers have even made it worse by telling many buyers that the engines can do the same long drain intervals that many NA Subarus run (they absolutely cannot.) This has, in sum, left the engine with a bad reputation.
The current WRX uses a newer generation engine, the FA20DIT, and FA/FB engines are progressively replacing the older EJs. It's still too new to speak about extremely long-term reliability trends, and this engine's limitation appears to be the connecting rods. Owners modifying up to 300 AWHP on stock internals have, for the most part, reported good results thus far.
@@npaul4171 What's wrong with my Sleeved and closed EJ25 block? oh wait yep still spun a bearing! haha I do still love Subaru's but reliability is definitely an issue. I really like this 2JZ swap smart choice!
@@aidenp5768 it really is "it depends" I own a stock STi, low milage at 80k km but never skipped a beat. some people blow the engine in the first 10k. some people are pushing 500+hp and 200k+ miles and is still reliable. They're fragile, you just have to know how to drive it and you HAVE TO do maintenance, and NEVER late doing it, then it will be reliable. and if you're building it, it has to be built 100% correctly and with a 150% solid tune, or it'll blow.
Other engines like the 2JZ, you can drive it however stupid you want, forget to change the oil a few times, have a shade tree guy build your engine in his backyard and tune it with a cereal box and it still won't crap out on you.
Best Subaru engines are the EJ20 and the EG33. IMO.
Not including third party Subie 'upgrade' engines, like Cosworth. An EJ25 upgraded by Cosworth is solid (but very pricey).
I've been toying around with swap ideas on my 2010 WRX.. Was leaning toward turbo LS but 2JZ is looking mighty good right about now.
Same here I’m a V8 guy all day but daaaamn that 2JZ is a fuckin beast.
You see toyota!!!!! You could have built your own 3JZ without BMW help......smh!!!!!
Lol toyota didn't make the 2jz either
@@lcameeno1 You're kidding right??? Please tell me you are.
@@robies197 yamaha made the 2jz
@@lcameeno1 no they didn't, they made the heads, Toyota started production of the 2jz-gte in 1991.

Meh why don’t you ever ask the most important question.
“How much did it cost to build”
a lot for sure
" More then you can afford pal."
Or is it still awd?

damn dude, you are thin skinned if you call that shit talkin
gimme a break, Louis
What an awesome mix of Japanese manufacturers. It’s amazing the amount of money people spend on cars. I’d rather have this than any Italian supercar though for sure.
That's alot of work to fit

This thing is rad. No horrendous over fenders or stupid wings. Just business
Why don't ppl put Porsche engines in subies better boxer engine and it's AWD Tran. Am I missing something? Let me know below.
might as well buy a porsche at that point
Let's say your looking at a 996 3.6 turbo engine. Reliable and more than 400hp. You're looking at $10k+ just for the stock used engine.
I’d assume Porsche engines are as high as a giraffes ass on a Saturday night 🤣. It would be legit but damn a 2JZ engine can be had for cheap.
Finally something that can keep up with these boosted supras 😎
Nice car but having all that weight up in front of the axle, I bet it handles like shit. Obviously the priority was for straight line speed though.
You're probably right plus the car can't put power down to the ground without getting loose and that weight distribution sure doesn't help.
@@wonkybomb1865 You're right, as you say, it gets loose on a straight line so the platform isn't really suited for this engine at all. And you still end up with that cheap plastic interior of the Subaru Imprezza. I saw a SEMA 2018 build of someone putting a RB26DETT in a STI Hatch - what a waste of a great engine...the RB26 weighs even more than the 2JZ **facepalm**
Car dont have axles in the front lol, qnd it weighs 80 pounds more
@@thatawdk24boi Well smart guy, tell me what its called when you try to describe the part of the car that connects the front/rear wheels together. 80lbs is noticeable especially if its in front of the centre point of the front wheels.
Sounded like it was knocking at first. That thing is badass! I love this swap. Love that color as well!
All that money spent... I think he can afford a new headliner. But seriously, what do people do in their cars to get a headliner looking so dirty?
I'm pretty sure when you're riding in that car you're not too worried about the headliner
Punk Taco yeahhhhh... thanks for the obvious comment. Still wonder how a headliner gets like that. Is he using it as a napkin? Like how.
When your window is constantly down!
He's not finished bud, give it time and stop bein so critical.... where's your build btw ?
Terrence Morgan you expect me to make a video comment of my build? Or post of pic of my build? Where’s the option for that in the comments? Now tell me how a headliner gets dirty like that.
Car is absolutely amazing such a badass build
whys it idling so funny?
TheCaps35 the engine is built so a little rougher idle and the clattering you hear is the multi plate clutch.
To actually answer your question it's got cams in it man.
@@manrightchea simplicity 100
Cammed
Big set of bump sticks on it. I would like to know the specs on the cam
I saw this car in person in Fort Lauderdale at one of the shops. Amazing!!!
I don't blame this dude swapping a 2jz because ej motor are garbage and ringland 4 life ever since 2002-presents 😂🤣😂🤣
m_ a_b because you americans got the horrible ej25😂and you guys love stupid cobb tunes
I drove a 2005 wrx for 10 years with a 20g turbo, a hand full of bolt ons, and a good tune. That car held up great. Too bad your dumb ass doesn't know how to get a pro-tune. My 2015 has similar mods and has also been holding up strong since I got it. Quality parts and quality tunes go a long way.
If you build EJ's right they can deliver good power. You can't just put on a few bolt-on parts and crank the boost with a COBB tuner.
just saw this in Broward on 31st the other day. The color is so clean
Yo That just ain't right, Subarus aren't supposed to be fast
😂🤣😂
That dash is sick af
00:40 why Lonnie giving that death stear🤣🤣🤣
Lonnie's backstory with modding his car is how I feel. After multiple Cobb builds my engine its just not stable enough to me. Time to switch the engine platform...
Shout out to TRC for great videos and to Lonnie for a badass build.
Those welds are A M A Z I N G.
This is one of my dream builds. A Subaru with a 2jz under the hood.
Awesome car, dang, love the paint, now everyone running that Audi/Lambo grey. Looks so good.
