VERY VERY important to keep eye on your oil. ALWAYS check. I change mine EVERY 2000 miles...Also changed the oil actuaters. The original ones caused hesitation between 2000 and 3000 RPM.Also change your PCV valve often They are known to clog and build pressure in your crankcase and cause oil leaks. I also ripped out the charcoal filter before the air filter. This STARVES the engine from getting air.I put a K&N filter in. With all these mods I got more power and better milage. I also run 93 octane.2019 Crosstrek 6 speed Manual.
Is there any filtration/Screens for the VVT on the FB motors? I know previously Subaru used banjo bolts with filters in them for the VVT system, but I haven't found anything for the FB motors yet.
On the FA engine it has a filter between the cylinder head and the block. Dennis has pointed it out in a video but can't exactly remember where sorry. On the FB engine it's likely similar but have not inspected for a filter.
Hey @Brandon, yes you could lock up the cam gears or even better create new cam gears. You’d also need to tune to this new setup. What were you thinking? We’ve briefly mentioned it here at 02:49 th-cam.com/video/vojSzK0Jz4A/w-d-xo.html
VVT has to move freely when setting a timing mark or has to lock in place? inside the VVT there is a pin with a small spring to lock the VVT from moving freely Thanks in advance
Thanks, Daniel for getting back to me Yes I set up the timing for FA20 I have the instructions for the timing mark but there are no details about the VVT
@Cristovao Lay, I spoke with Dennis. He said VVT is locked without oil pressure. If you hold the camshaft at the lobes and you can turn the cam gears, you've got a problem. It's not locking properly. So when timing, make sure they’re locked. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@denstoj the bank 2 intake vam jump a tooth. The learned values for the cam angle are out of range now. The timing has been fixed with a chain and cam actuator but it looks like there is no way for the ecm to learn the new angle.
@@Gregg0112 just a suggestion, have you tried resetting the ECU? Clear all fault codes with a diagnostic tool and then leave the battery disconnected for around thirty minutes. Let me know how you go. 👍
you can’t really compare this to vtec, because its an entirely different system and they do different things. vtec changes the cam profile (lift and duration) this only affects cam timing, lift and duration stay the same.

Hello, can you tell me where the VVT
filter is installed on 2013 2.0?
Hey Beqa223, check inside the banjo bolts, which are located on the front of each cylinder head.

Is there anyway to disable this system?

@@denstoj Oh ok I overlooked that part. I had an issue with the avcs system a while ago but I sorted it out. Thanks!
@@turkforshort great! Let us know if you have any other questions. 👍

Hey @Cristovao Lay, I'll check with Dennis and get back to you. Are you currently setting the timing on your FA20? Thanks, Daniel.

How to reset vvt learned values after a timing repair?
Hey @IWORKYOUWATCH, the ECU should re-learn timing values. What issue are you having?

Is this better than than Honda's VTEC?

@@avenged8fold1 oh ok , so vtec is better because it can do more?
@@avenged8fold1 oh ok so vtec is better because it does more than toyota/subaru's system ?
@@saulespino2510 Honda uses both systems in some engines. Vtec and variable valve timing
@iworkyouwatch 👍 you got it. Like @papabooey said, it can’t be compared to VTEC as VTEC is separate second cam profile.
KEEP ME HANGING ON!!!
haha don't lose it!
yessss lol
