- I didn't have much fuel left over from the tune, BUT I couldn't wait for the jugs to come in to re-fuel. So I decided to take the WRX out for the first real drive on E85.

I’ve owned, modded and tuned several Subaru’s now. And currently own a 2017 WRB WRX. Right now 340whp 320wtq on a mustang dyno.
With that being said it’s important to remember Mustang dyno’s read a little lower. And I noticed yours was tuned on a mustang dyno. So your car would easily put down over 400 torque and horsepower on most any dynojet.
Yeah that’s a LOT of power 😂👍 you sound aware of the risks! I bet that car is crazy fast. Mine scares the shit out of me.
Yeah I've heard that 350 tq rule and honestly it seems like that was when the FA was new and the tuners didn't really know what to do. Seems like 400 tq is the limit now and it also depends on how the tq curve looks. Just my opinion. Hopefully it holds up because I'm doing the same setup in the next few months. Cheers.
Also be careful about wot or any amount of throttle below 1/4th tank. The way the fuel pump is it will slosh the fuel away from the pump and can cause the car to lean out due to fuel starvation.
Are there more aggressive baffles you could install to mitigate this issue?
@@EvenBiggerPharma veerus engineering starvation door
Yeah from my understanding 350WTQ is what our FA internals are rated for, but as long as you aren't flooring it constantly, it should be fine. Either way if you are like me, I bought the WRX over the STI because of price/performance and to get similar numbers you'd have to spend close to $8k on the ej. So definitely coming out ahead even after a blown motor. Keep up the awesome vids! I definitely want to get protuned this summer.
@@layne4376 it's absolutely superior. But I didn't need that extra 10% of performance since I'm not on the track all the time.
@@layne4376 None of that really matters unless you are on a track. Maybe the better shifting but all that other stuff is pointless unless you are on the track.
@@layne4376 dude everything you named can be mods added to the WRX. Its all opinions. If ALL that matters to you than get the STI if not get the WRX.

What’s done to it?
Would not be concerned about the tq. The problem with higher ethanol contents are they don't knock... While that is a very good thing, most tuners push alot of timing in the uppers rpms where cylinder pressure are already generally at its highest point. All depends on the tune and how you drive it but enjoy the car. That's what you built it for 👍
As long as most of your torque is up high and is linear, you shouldn’t worry about the rods. It all depends on your driving and the tune. Not the numbers.
This! words of wisdom
Yoooo, nice originality. Ever heard of the subie/drive NVR home? Of course you have thats why you jacked his steez. Nice.
Its funny you live by here. I work literally a block away from Yimi sports. hope to see you around here
What headlight set up is that, so nice
Try to make sure to monitor your knock feedback, DAM, and Knock Learn besides that if ur tuner knows what they’re doing you’ll probably be fine under 400. Love the videos man! the build is fire!!
I'm lovin' it dude, keep these videos coming
Bigblack Cockus thanks dude!
I considered getting a WRX a year ago when I got my BRZ. I love my BRZ but sometimes wish I had the power
Ive owned both. It's really two different experiences man but the BRZ is still a fun and amazing car.
Two words.... Radar Detector! Best mod you can get!
This is true. That 83 in a 45 I got hurt.
Radar detectors are useless now adays. Once the detector starts alarming, the cops already have you clocked.
Don’t worry about a clean launch. Roll for a few feet and give it the beans from first. I promise with practice you’ll get it.
Glad it pulls nicely, and is way quicker than before!
If you don't have one already i would Get an oil air separator. My intake and valves were nasty after 20k miles and 15k mile on my oil air separator they were still clean from when i installed it.
I've done some light launches, usually i try to keep it under 3.5k rpm. Rear Diff is known to blow with high torque, plus stock clutch will go pretty easy.
How long did it last like this?
Great content! Love to see my people upgrade these things. Hope I see ya around some time.
Great video! Those sounds!!!!
I would recommend south bend on the clutch. I don't love my act HDSS. Hold power perfect but first is much trickier than stock. My cousins south bed is rated for more tq and is smoother off the line
can you do a video of all the mods you have?
What supporting mods are you using to run your E85 set up?
Sounds very smooth, fast an dialed in. Btw- what do you think of the GP Hero 7 (Y/N?)?
Mark Burrill for sure a yes on the Hero 7! I have the 5 and wish I had the stabilization that the 7 has.
@@NVRFinished thanks, I've been reading it is the best. But the downsides are it runs a little hot and the battery life is poor if you shoot in 4K (which I dont need to do). Hopefully, they will improve these well known issues soon.
what was your mod list at 350whp?
my man!!! great
Next episode, the motor is #FNSHD. 😛
You will change that clutch. I know 😁
My question is revive matching. With the turbo kicking in at ~3800rpm does it make the car blow up?
uhhhhh no?
No?!?
Honore is this you?
@@Augie.. expect two delays of the turbo kick in. Revive match fuel input and another turbo kick in. Another thing might happen I thought is stepping on the gas and not going any faster waiting for the turbo to get up to speed then launch.
Two delays and revive match remember so you’re already going with the turbo spinning fast then turn shift say for a turn. So slow down then clutch and fuel; follow by release clutch. Pipes is not going last I would think pressure per square inch take a lot of wear and tear.
nice vid. yea my buddy just threw a rod in is FA motor..same mods as you. 34k miles
How'd that happen?
@@bryanmclaughlin1048 he says its common with FA engines
Why are you mixing? I thought straight e85 was fine with a tune for it. Just wondering because I just started looking into e85.
It will get better gas mileage also the power will pretty much be the same
What supporting mods do you have bro? I just got a flex fuel kit, tgv deletes, ebcs, and the fuel pump.
I currently have a intake, bpv, catless down pipe, and access port on my 2017 wrx.
Im getting tuned next week and I’m trying to be in the safe zone. I do not want to blow my engine so I’m trying to stay under 350whp.
What did you numbers end up being?
Man your car sounds hectic what's the set up? Catback or turbobak
Abas Ahmed full ETS turboback, catless, non-resonated, and with mufflers
I’m not sure about this so I wanna ask. Is it possible to be able to get e85 and 91 or 93 octane gas so if a gas station doesn’t have E85 I can still get regular gas?
Yes
Tune the Torque down man, you're living on the edge I think. I'll be watching though and testing mine. 2017 wrx... 330 tq 360hp "FBO". What kind of Oil are you using? Careful with that torque Launching it. I hope it lasts a long time for you though. After reading a lot of the comments, I'd have to agree a lot depends on the driver and the actual torque curve. Just don't lug the engine or let it overheat etc. You'll probably be fine.
Why did you change your name?
All i see is white in the windshield
Flex fuel generic plug and play kit from eBay for half the price Cobb charges for theirs is the best mod one can do for these cars. Incredible power gains on e50, and it’s a conservative 360/360 tune I am on. Just incredible power gains, wasted my money on stage 2 setup.
Dumb question but...how did you get your accessport gauges to be red?
subaru [RATED] they are actually just white, but if you have the 4 gauge option and are monitoring oil and coolant temp, they display a red bar on the right side lol I think that’s what you are talking about haha
@@NVRFinished ahh...I see...thanks. Any new interior mods in the works?
Who tuned it
Phillip Simmons Paul at Yimi Sport Tuning
Get your hand off the shifter when your cruising
As long as you have a solid tune and you drive your car properly, you should have zero concern with the motor blowing up. My wrx is making 390whp running e65. zero issues. Thats a safe tune also. Could have made more power 400+ but I daily drive this car so I had it tuned down. IG: sti2slow
I’ve been running 402WTQ an no problems ?
What Dyno?
Still no problems? Lol
Problems? Considering doing this
Regardless, I would get the oil cooler and engine internals, will save you a massive headache later on.
Sphoxros engine internals?
@@tajay655 rods, pistons etc, you know *build the engine* hence the term built engine, usually refers to a modified engine block. What did you think I was talking about ?
What’s your Instagram? You portland local?
With oil on E85, it tends to break down faster than with 93. Get in the habit of changing your oil every 2000 miles
smittywoodshop definitely on the list!
I'm also on E85 with a bunch of other mods and I've been doing oil changes every 3k. Can you specify why you should be doing them every 2k please?
Arrtus No reason to do them every 2k unless you track then car. 3k will be perfectly fine even if you drive it hard every once in a while just check up on your oil every once in a while haha.
Correct, there is no NEED to change at 2k rather than 3k but in respect to the car, engine oil is what keeps the motor healthy, it’s the life blood of a car. For a few bucks you get added piece of mind knowing that you have fresh oil in the engine.
The idea behind it is that the alcohol in E85 breaks down the efficiency of the oil faster, and with high concentrations of ethanol (like full E85 and not a blend) it’s better to change your oil sooner than later. I run straight E85 with no blend and daily the car.
@@plsmithed right. 3k is perfectly fine in my car. Still looks clean and completely full
get your fucking hand off of that shifter my god.
I swear subbies have shit engines, aside from AWD I'll never understand the fanboy mentally behind them. Hell you got STs and GTIs putting ridiculous torque on their engines with no issue.
daphenom45 not everyone likes Ford or VW.
@@norcalnights understandable but the lack of innovation from Subaru is borderline unacceptable and they refuse to change because their cult of buyers keep coming back for more
daphenom45 yeah I agree with you 100%. It’s is pretty bullshit. Honda dropped the type R and it’s under 2% for drivetrain loss putting almost all of its crank HP down to the ground, also Eliminated Torque steer. Idk what subaru is doing at this point. They dropped the 340hp S209 but limited production.
Sounds like a Honda lol
KruX ELH! it is a Honda 🤙
Lol those are my pump sti numbers
Austin B ok and?
I assume larger turbo? No way you are getting those numbers with an sti on stock turbo.
