Any name suggestions for the new car?

Great looking car in very nice shape. I honestly don't see why people want to take these cars to 400-500 hp, 350 is more than enough imo and it'll still give you plenty of driving pleasure. It's not worth it all the work you'd have to endure if the motor blows later on. Good luck!

Subaru's are fabulous cars, I'm on my 3rd. My last impreza had 158k on the clock had it for 5years. Never a problem with the car no brake downs. If you look after them they will look after you.

yay the subarus are back on the channel!! congrats on the car, absolute dream car for me, so i’ll have you live the dream for me for the time being

First time finding this channel and it looks like I'm staying for this build lol

I remember watching your videos 3 years ago and always wondering if you're going to get a STi. Lowkeyyyyy hyped on the new build man!

Thats the best feeling when you do the compression test and good numbers come out.

hell yea man! just picked up a 2009 wrx sti hatch myself and the motor blew after 1 week lol, 1 motor rebuild later and im motivated to work on it still haha cant wait to see what you can do with this thing man!

glad to see the motor is solid! stis are always sketchy buys!

bro big congratulations! Super inspiring. Keep pushing out that content

Have great rides with it! :) I bought a 1.5L impreza 2 weeks ago. I ordered the new spark plugs, but i'm scared of the result i'll get :D

Damn thats sick man. I started following you when i first got my 86 and my friend just got his wrx hatch. Now youve had both 😂

looking forward to this build !

Hell yeah so keen for this build

Those thing are important on every car not just subaru.

The porcelain on one of those old plugs was completely trashed. Congrats on the new car! I just got a 03 sonic yellow wrx a month ago!

I just bought my first ever subie, a 09 Subaru Impreza 2.5i hatch (my dream car since I was 13 or 14, I wanted a wex sti but that's a future investment), a couple days ago and I'm absolutely in awe over him. Hes the base model so I can do whatever I want; the only thing I hate about him is the color. Hes like candy apple red and bright red is godly on a subie. I want him blacked out🥵 but for my first subaru ever, I'm so happy with my purchase and I'm so excited to start working on him. If anyone has dreamed of owning a subie, JUST GO FOR IT!

I have a built 2011 STI I bought from NJ, with 67k miles, no rust, needs a trans service and I'll be changing every fluid in the car and doing a Dyno run to check the health of the motor after I do a compression test and everything. I do have a fully built 550+ whp motor waiting for heads to get done and the turbo, for it to be ready to go in if my current motor goes

Hey man - you will love your subaru - they are so much fun and reliable - me too i thrashed my ej205 - and got a virgin ej207 sti ra short block - 440cc injectors and td04 turbo just running in - 6,000klm = great show thanks tight is the word . cylinder 4 coolant buy-pass kit = well worth it ! big improvement ! on my new heads !

Nice car and a good color too. Really, you should have done a compression test before buying. If it has an issue after you've bought it... Well, that's gonna cost you. The cylinder you have marked as #1 is number 4.

Nice nice from a fellow Nj Subaru .. i just picked up a 2010 Sti hatchback as well same color lol a few months ago 👌🏽

Bet it's a new exhaust. Probs at least a downpipe. That's a really good mod to start with to increase HP.

Congrats! Glad you got another Subi! More Subi content yay!

Boxer Diesel owner here. I personally found the "easiest" way to do stuff at the cylinder heads and engine in general by simply removing the tires and the wheel arch. It was also my way to go as i had to replace the bulbs of the front light. Subarus are some nasty, annoying things to work on. But also interesting somehow, they are "different" in so many ways beginning already with the whole engine+ drivetrain

Just bought an 08 WRX sedan. 100% bone stock, original motor, original clutch, 153,000 miles. Very helpful video, wish me luck guys lmao

Congrats on the clean STI. A fuel system, fmic, and a blouch DOM 2.5 xtr should put you in the 400-450 hp range. EWG is a must. These motors make great power for what they are. I really do dislike intros like this though. Thats what has given the EJ motors a bad rap. Its not the motors that are "unreliable", its the owners not taking care of them, cheap poorly designed aftermarket parts, and even worse tuning that kills an EJ. Its all about the tune, spend the money and get a good tune, not a one size fits all tuner flash. Cobb AP tuned on the dyno will turn it into a whole different car, with reliable power. Ring lands when the boost is brought in too hard. can be fixed with a good tune. After owning a GTR you should know, you have to pay to play. Hope the STI treats you well!!!! Thats one of my favorite bodies.

Let’s goooo my dude!!

It may be useful to apply WOT when cranking for the compression test

Happy late new year bro. All the best for the new year

LETS GO!!! Congrats man!!! Lets call it a mail car because all we are going to do is SEND IT!!

The package is full of head gaskets😂

Not sure if it’s tuned or not, make sure you have a tune for that down pipe. These cars are so touchy with any mod you do. My WRX was a super fun car but super problematic. Good content though bro, keep it up! fav small youtuber out there!!

Welcome back bro

Would it have been easier if you went from the bottom by removing panels? Just wondering.

Just found your page today, love the content! Already subscribed.

Ayyye welcome to the hatchback gang 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Love your taste in cars brother, keep at it

Aye congrats. Love my subies. Definitely gonna miss the gtr tho

Cyclinder cooling mod, aos, radiator should make that EJ last

Love the video man but you should do the compression test with the throttle body wide open on Subaru ati

I hoping the box has wide body kit for Sti wagon.

Subaru's are so cool, and get so much attention when they are out on the road 👍👍👍👍👍

Should change that grimmspeed AOS if it's cold there. You'll start getting condensation in the oil lines 0.0 just a heads up. I went with IAG

With the throttle body is open it’s shout be a round 140 or 150

Enjoy the 6 speed STI hatch - rare cars just like my 2008 6 speed Legacy 3.0 R Spec B. 99.99% of people have no idea how good a car these are

hello, would you still recommend it? a few years on? looking to get one myself and doing as much research as possible before i decide.

Dope, really wanted a subi like a sti or a brz for a long time. Decided with a Fiesta ST though. Hope you love the car!

love dis guys videos

2 ltr WRC sti turbo 6-speed manual if you can find one 300hp from the factory 2ltr boxer motor has a million great mods you can buy if want to go that way reliable but under extreme pressure they blow like any motor really my wife has one stock but exhaust and retune which she loves 300hp is more than enough for her

nice roller shots

Thats a tomei forsure! Best exhaust for this car

@BeaKhan possibly getting 08 wrx sedan 124k miles previous owner had bought a turbo that didn't work and he sold it to used dealership near me. Anything I need to look for besides compression?

Get oil pick up pipe upgrade my dude I've learnt the hard way😉👌 I also do sti content if you wanna check out for any possible ideas for yourself. Keep up the good work dude been watching since the brz when it was pretty much stock 👌

The box is definitely a body kit, noting else comes in that big of a box

Ain’t no way someone is letting you do that to their car when you go to look it over

Cool show. Thanks

I ❤ my uk 98 impreza turbo Terzo gc8.

Ahh rip the r32. Still making me worried for what I want to get hahha. Sti going to be a sick build tho

Body kit in the box

what engine does 2010 Impreza Hatch comes with ej20 na right?

I beat the shit out my wrx 2014 hatchback, purchased it with 69k miles one and a half years ago and now it has 145k miles. (OriginaI engine) i have a cobb accessport stage 1+ off the shelf map, IAG oil seperator, turbo heatshield, invidia muffler catback, perrin pitchstop, and cobb air intake. I do my oil changes every 4k miles. Car still going strong

Can anyone give me recommendations? I am planning to buy a car (first owned car) My choices are the following: 2022 LX civic, 2022 sv sentra and 2022 impreza 4d convenience. I am also looking at a used 2009 impreza.

2.5 blow up way more than the 2 ltr both have STI but 2ltr Boxer which has WRC development behind it

Where do you get your spark plugs?

Just take the air box out next time. It’s so easy to take out and gives so much extra space and visibility

Cool channel dude, subbed to see what happens with my cobb 😂

Get an IAG aos (street series) this mod alone will help with the longivity of the motor

In the box...u got Exhaust n fmic kit 😁😁

Is the tomei on the box?

Either wrap or body kit

1:3,:2:1,3:2,4 is the only one you got right. Cylinders are (should always be) named for firing order. This is pretty 101 and a huge disservice to overlook: at least edit this in

Is it the turbo?

I see STI, I click.

My guy come test the pressure on my 2013 wrx hatch

Car looks awesome, it's in great shape and the engine is healthy. Hope you treat it well, don't catch it on fire etc.

I thought going back to the BRZ was the move, but i guess it’s hatchback sznn

Spark plugs not that bad the ceramic on one of them was cracked….

Should’ve also done a leak down test

Just got a 2015 sti today ! How soon would u recommend I do this to my before I try and drive it hard ?

Your channel about to blow up! Hopefully not the motor lol don’t worry tho. The Subie Gang got you!

The numbers look good though

do you live in Charleston? i saw this exact car on facebook marketplace...

WRX time

Dont forget to swap out the oil pickup

damn I got a built wrx hatch 2 months ago

Exhaust system

Omg changed my spark plugs 2 times pain and the ass

Please don't make the ej sound that bad. Good advice btw!

Could I just get a PPI?

Damn this gives me feels. I have the 2010 STi special edition. Looks almost exactly like yours except with the black wheels. Blew my engine about 8mo ago and been rebuilding it. miss driving it Soo much!!!

Take a dab every time he says spark plugs ☠️☠️

Normaly you put the Pedal to the Metal too while doing the Compression test

Well this is great timing considering I bought one 2 weeks ago😅

Him “I’m trying to not necessary open the filter box” Me “He’s newbie”

I think you have your cylinders messed up in your diagram. Standing in front of your car facing your engine left front is 1 right front is 2 left rear is 3 right rear is 4. The cylinder that mostly goes first is number 3 the one closest to the turbo. Now you know 💁‍♂️

what you really need to do when you get an STI... change the timing belt and head gaskets every 80k to 100k miles.

That's a weird lookin exhaust you got in the middle there

Boosted my WRX 20psi

Only Noti gang would know that he changed the title of the video. I used to be "How to check if you Subaru Motor is Blown".

def get the cylinder 4 cooling mod, it'll save you.. also check out smeedia, he's the go to guy for Subarus
