As an FA20 owner, I love this content. Hope to see more of this in the future. Keep it up man!
Will continue to do more whenever opportunities come up 😁😁
I'ma simple man. I see an fa20, I drop a like .
Thx for more FA content. Always enjoy seeing work on another wrx. I'm going ETS front mount intercooler, cause heat soak is horrific
Going to do what I can to get some more FA20 stuff 😈
@@Smeedia I’ve got a stock fa now if you wanna come to Florida to work on it 🙃
Bring it up here 😈
@@Smeedia where are you located 🤔
I'm in NYC, w '19 wrx cvt
Love it when Smol Dog, the true star of the show, gets some camera time!
I really enjoy when a FA20 sees some love on the channel!
Don't get too many opportunities to do FA20 stuff but I'm about it when we do 🥳
Also smol dog is the brains behind everything 🔥
As a newer FA20 owner it’s awesome you showing your insight. Love the channel!
Going to try and get some more FA20 stuff 🥳
Nice seeing some of the differences between the wrx and STI. Love how all your videos always give the extra little details not just the main stuff.
Try to add some in 🥳
Glad to see some more FA20 content! Also good seeing other peeps getting involved in the channel!
Trying to get some more peeps on, hard with everyone else's work schedules 😅🔥
@@Smeedia Yup, organizing can be the hardest part!
Yes! As a 2018 WRX owner, I appreciate any FA20 content I can get
I'll try and get some more 😁
Outstanding FA content, The stuff you do is priceless bro. Much appreciated. Love that black and gold.
❤️❤️⚡️⚡️
I love seing more in depth reliability and delete mods being done before somebody tries shoving more power into the car this is a great start to a good build
Always gotta cover the basics 🔥
Yes Yes 👏🏻. Thank you for this man. Same thing happened to me when I installed my PLM catless j-pipe, that top-right bolt is hard to get but I managed to take all 4 without stripping them. PB blaster for the win. Catless is definitely louder with my Greddy RS Race single exit. I wish I live near your house. Lol. I also have egr & tgv deletes but haven’t install them. I’m still waiting for my grimmspeed ebcs, iag aos and perrin charge pipe. Then get my car to the dyno. Good work man. Hope to see more FA20DIT contents and more FA20DIT and more. 🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like you've got a good amount of goodies waiting to go on! I'll try and get some more FA20 stuff 🔥
Thank you so much!! From all of the FA20 boys we thank you! You should totally get one. I know we would all love to see one one the channel!
I'd they went so $$$$ I probably would 🔥
@@Smeedia Totally understand, the used car market is outrageous right now. But hopefully sometime in the future you will be able to get your hands on one. By the way, in some of your videos I see what looks like a Dodge Neon SRT-4. What’s the story on that? Just curious. 😁
That's Matt's SRT4, been sitting for a while now. Just a back burner project of his 😅
Rodents are normally attracted to cheaper wiring that is assembled using peanut or vegetable oils. I've seen cars in the shop that the mice nested in and only ate certain wires and harnesses. It is always the cheap harnesses or ones made with food products.
Love this content, not just FA20, but you and Matt working on customer cars! ✌️
Definitely going to have to get some more in 🥳🥳🥳
Let the PB blaster soak the night before and use a blowtorch and those studs will come off nice and clean. Love the FA content!!!
Pb blaster and heat is your best friend 😅🔥
I used some stuff called freeze off, came off like butter
I cut my hand really good on the egr pipe gasket when I installed my AOS but I like this random fa20 video. 👏 cool watching you and matt go at it working on a car together!
DUDE those little gaskets are sharp AF 😅
I love the fa20 content! Such a fun engine around town
YES!!! FA20 stuff from my favorite you-tuber. Love the content man!
Going to try and get some more FA20 stuff in 🥳🥳🥳
I’ve been waiting for this day !!
🔥🔥
*wow! Thanks for sharing!*
Wooohoooooooo!!!!!!! Some more FA love! I just tore out all the interior in the trunk and the back seats. Wish I had more time to continue
Why you tearing it all out?! 😅
@@Smeedia that was the goal from the start, it’s why I got the base model. I want to lift the car up and put some method rally rims and tires on and remove the excess stuff that’s useless. I’m also getting ready to purchase the roll cage. But don’t worry. All parts that have come out of my car have been stored properly so they won’t get ruined. I never use my trunk or my back seats. It’ll be nicely taken care of as I build out the wall your back goes against, I’ll have a mounting solution for my subwoofers.
2015 wrx is an icon!!! Hold on to them they are going to be worth big money
Thank you for the FA content... long overdue... subbed
I'll try and get some more FA20 stuff 🥳
I KNEW IT U WERE SCHEMING SOmething!
Now I am super hyped to the moon!
and also why not have nice day
Have the bestest of days!
I love the word mint, so 90s!
😁😁😁
"...You really have to be one with the car to get it out."..ROFL but such a profound statment. Love the FA20 vids man! Thanks for this content.
Will definitely try and snag some more whenever I can 🥳
Great work today guys. 👏 Stay safe and remember Subies forever.
Have a good day Paul 🥳
Comfy dedicated race car :)
😏😏😏
Did my aos a few weeks ago on my 21 WRX. Can confirm the FA20 charge pipe is the worst fooking charge pipe to install.
THE WHOLE TURBO INLET CHARGE PIPE IS DUMB AF, it barley fits and you the bypass valve is a PIA lol
Already looking for a grimspeed cast one because I'm 💯 positive I will break it as I start moding my car.
@@daviddin8863 get it! Prevent future headaches. Totally worth.
thank you! keep em coming it might dissuade me from getting the Corolla!
Every opportunity I get I'll snag more FA20 stuff 🥳
@@Smeedia ty
bought a 19 WRX a few months ago, love it!
Ah memories of the AOS install. I'm no mechanic so that was a learning point. Knees be hurting since its at the back of the engine bay.
First time always seems. Little confusing but they get easier 🔥
I had plans to DIY the AOS but after watching multiple videos and reading the instructions I just threw money at the local shop lol
My buddy has a forester with an fa20 and the turbo whistling through the exhaust sounds nuts. He has the thing built with 425 yo the wheels and I’m obsessed with it
Loving the FA20 content man. Keep it up you guys are killing it
Eyyyy thank you my friend 🥳🥳🥳
This was awesome!!!!!!
Another great video my dude!!!!
😎👍🏻👍🏻
Eyyyyy hope your doing well tom!
Oh I’m watching this the moment I get home!!
🥳😁🥳😁🥳
I'm not usually a fan of the FA sound but this one sounds good 🤌
This one's niceeeeee 🔥🔥🔥
You guys rock mannnnn.
🥳🥳🥳
I literally just put a downpipe on my 21 wrx and had the exact same issue, I rounded off the top right nut😁
That one nut can burn in hell 😅
I use a 1/2 ratchet with my foot to crack J pipe bolts loose. I use the subframe for leverage
Tried that before, sometimes it works, sometimes it wounds the nut 😅
huge ask but maybe a 500hp fa20 series would be sick i would follow along and i’m sure a lot of others would as well! maybe when prices drop you can pick up a wrx! Great work love the vids man.
If someone else pays for it I'm down 🤣 too much for me to spend to try and do something like that right now 😅
@@Smeedia gonna be harder now since flex fuel is a thing of the past ( at least for a little while)
Sounds EXACTLY like mine. I have a catless J pipe with MaPerformace quad tip exhaust. Love the tomei👌
Good sounding set up 🔥🔥🔥
Video is getting me pumped for my stage 2.5 short block and full Boltons plus turbo coming soon
Ohhhhhh 🔥🔥🔥🔥
More FA20 plsssss. Love it!
Can definitely make that happen 🥳
That loud prius probably had its catalytic converter stolen 😆
Also heads up! For people removing J pipe nuts. One word, Inductor. Crazy awesome.
Does it fit up in there? 😅
@@Smeedia you can get different tips, even extended boys. Seen my coworker use his. Never seen that one nut come off before until then
The exact video I needed...going to be installing those same components very soon
Ohhhhh you'll love it!
Hope it's VERY soon, now
Hey bro! Been watching since your first few videos in the tiny lil garage. I watched a ton of your videos back when I was building my Hawkeye and I really appreciated the amount of detail you went into everything while holding a very light and fun mood in all your videos. A lot of the decisions I made on my car were inspired by your detailed analysis of things that worked and didn’t work for you. All I got to say is KEEP IT UP! You are easily the BEST UA-cam channel to subscribe to if you want to work on a Subaru. Oh if you wanna see the car it’s on my channel 🙃
Ps: so pumped to see the 6 cylinder STI HURT SOME FEELINGS!! 🙏 so hyped for ya
Ohhhhh glad to hear that the videos have helped my friend and going to check it out! 🥳
@@Smeedia 🙏🙏 will be staying tuned
Absolutely i stripped my top right stud and it spins freely inside of the mount. Now i have to take out the whole turbo assembly so i can re-thread it but i went ahead and bought another whole assembly because i do not know if it was helicoiled and or if i just need it to get the job done.
Just got my first WRX (had two legacy gt's) and its a 2020 so I'm looking forward to some more related content
I'll try and get some more out 🥳
Had the same issue with two of the turbo studs, one broke off and the other stripped, spent two days trying to get it off and finally decided to just take it to a shop lol
They're such a PIA to deal with 😭😤
Just noticed how incredibly close you sit to the steering wheel lol
Lol very 🤣🤣
I guess I got super lucky when I did my j pipe. I just sprayed with pb blaster and took a break, then all 4 came out with very little effort. This was after several years of driving the car around in the snow too.
Damnnnn you had it easy, all the ones I've done have been a PIA
Thanks for the FA content! Dope as always 👌
Try to get some more soon 🔥🔥
Happy Easter Tanner
Happy Easter Thomas 🥳
Cobb catted/resonated j pipe with a borla S type cat back actually sounds dam good, 1-2000 rpms it has a UEL sound with a lot of turbo whistle like this video. Above 3 grand it looses some rumble but stays deep. I love it. Only complaint is for the price it should have solid flanges, you get a slip flange to mount to the mid pipe and band clamps for the 2 exhausts.
Good stuff:) Pretty cool you have your own racetrack right out of your driveway😆 Gotta love Washington's emissions ✌️
😏😏😏😏
@@Smeedia Well shit! On the way to work, great install. On the way home, not so great. Stupid crackdown 😢 Unless the owner gets in under a maybe 2 week grace period 😬
Sounds like this owner skated by and is able to finish tuning 🔥
Love fa content especially seeing bader’s post on Instagram with a fa making 600whp on a stock block insane!
Definitely going to try and get more fa20 stuff out soon 🥳
There goes my dose of fa20 content. Until next month
All the FA20 fun
More Subaru content (WRX, STI, other) is always welcomed. Would love to have you install stuff on my car. Too bad I'm in Florida. I have a Get a Dom Tune cylinder #4 cooling mod and I can't find anyone in South Florida who has installed one. Road trip!
Let's goooo 🥳🥳🥳
The aftermarket needs a port injection manifold ECU controller option to avoid the 30k maintenance tear down, and gain some additional power.
IBR makes it 👀👀👀
“compared to like an ej25”
points at eg33 😂
Love the FA20 content and your channel! Thanks for always bringing great content 🙏✌️
Anytime and appreciate the support! I'll try to get more fa20 stuff out!
Theres not an upload that Tanner puts out that I don't immediately watch. That goose honk sound had me laughing my ass off. Sooooooo when am I sending you my car to work on??? Haha. Love the content dude, keep up the hard work.
Get it up here and let's get going 😈😈😈
definitely more fa20 content i have one new to the fa20 wrx world an looking to do upgrades in near future
Pro tip for getting the turbo bolts off: Use MAP gas
Melt all of the bolts lol
I know you probably don't need it, but the CSF racing radiator is SOOOoooooo nice! My coolant temps are now 100% in check. Way better than the Koyorad. FYI.
CSF ain't bad at all, used them on the old BRZ 🔥
@@Smeedia This new racing spec radiator is even better than my Koyorad was and it was good. Next level!
Sounds good here. 👍for the FA content
🥳🥳🥳
Ah yeaaaaaah man great stuff, clicked on this video right away 😂💨
More FA20!!!!
Thanks for the FA20 content! My dad's 2016 "Stage 2" WRX is nearing 100k miles with no issues so far :)
Glaf to gear and hopefully gives you guys many many more miles 🥳
A perfect FA20 would be 280-300 whp daily for me. Maybe one day!
Would make for a great daily driver set up 🔥
Recently just discovered this channel and to my surprise you guys got some FA20 videos! Got my WRX not too long ago and wanted to know more about the FA compared to the EJ
Nice content. Im yet to do anything to my 2019 Wrx for now but maybe in future. At the moment just playing with my 14 XT which is pretty much the same engine. Ive put filter, cat back and GFB on it and it makes some fun noises for my daily.
Fun little daily forester 🥳🔥
Definitely curious about this stuff .. I have a 2015 WRX limited with an Invidia R400 exhaust .. I went wild and bought a bunch of bolt-ons to be installed at a reputable shop in New England the second week of May .. Cobb TMIC, Grimmspeed catted J-pipe / boost controller / intake / turbo inlet / BPV / header .. IAG AOS and a few other small things .. can’t wait to hear it and feel the extra power ..
Ohhhhhh things going to sound so good 🥵🔥
Get this man too 100k and a shield
🥳🥳🥳
This is almost exactly what I want to do to my 2020 WRX! Even stock, the induction noise is insane and one of my favorite things about the car. I agree with you about the trans though. Stock, the 1-2 shift is almost impossible to do without getting any lurch, but it's my first manual, so if you have any tips please let me know! What's your opinion on lapis blue vs world rally blue? My hot take is that lapis blue looks better and complements the car way better than WRB.
Personally I prefer wrb but I'm a little bias 😅😅😅 some basic trans/shifter upgrades help with it 🔥 brass shifter bushings, short shifter
I went from a 2008 wrx to a 2020 wrx as well and the difference with the 1 to 2 was a problem for me as well. What i found was the only way for it to really be smooth is to ride the clutch a bit. I think it might have to do with the rev hang issue with the stock tune on these cars as well. Youll get smoother with time though so best of luck!
Dude I thought it was just me driving like shit from gears 1-2. Didn’t know that was an “issue” makes me feel better about my driving 😅
Love seeing FA content ❤
How it going T! Here for the subie content! And evo and brz and flat6 and fa20 and vw and small dog too.
ALL OF THE THINGS 🥳🥳🥳
Thank you brother!!!
🥳🥳🥳
I would absolutely love for you guys to build my 2015 wrx
I noticed that too on Ocean Blue my 2017 base model WRX. I heard the turbo alot. On my new 2020 STI I don't hear it early. That's okay. Oh yeahhhh.
Once you get some induction mods you'll definitely hear it more 🥳
@@Smeedia I see.
Woooooo FA20 content!!
🥳🥳🥳
If i'm not mistaking the rats liking the wires on these cars is because the wire coatings are soy based or something like that. Also i love the videos, I got a 2015 wrx base a few months ago and have been pleased to use your videos to learn most of what i know about the wrx/sti ecosystem!
Just learn theta they're soy based, learn something new everyday 🔥
@@Smeedia I'm not 100% sure they are but a while ago when i was doing research on subies before i got mine i remember seeing it and it stuck out to me. It's a neat fact though!
Sweet!! FA20 content!!
🥳🥳🥳
Good video...hopefully Cobb comes out with a new catted J-pipe we can legally use on our FA20 VA chassis WRX models. I want to do a stage3 on my 2017 but there's no reasonable way to do this and tune for street legal inspections herein NYS.
Love FA20 content. Maybe one day you'll try to do a twin charged one 🤤🤤
Very nice content, nice to see some fa20 action
Going to try and get some more in 🔥
@@Smeedia sweet.
Awesome video I would love to see an installation video showing how to install an AOS.
I'll see if I can make that happen 💪💪💪
@@Smeedia That would be awesome I have a FA donor car if you need to make the video. I’m In Texas don’t know where your located but my first road trip would be fun 🤣. I purchased an IAG competition AOS have been wanting to install it but I have only seen videos on the street I know there is a bit of a difference.
The comp series had less connections and is actually easier to install 🔥
Here faster then the EG33
ZOOM ZOOM
Remove the Jpipe stud bolts with a hot turbo. Drive it put it on the stands first thing get those 4 nuts off. It helps.
May have to try this next time 👀🔥
Yea buddy!
😁😁😁😁
I miss doing easy bolts
Tbh, same 😅😅😅
Now I'm going built motor i should of just stayed with my bolts ons 😅
For my FA I was looking at AOS, then saw all the lines and didnt want to mess with coolant(killed my lancer ralliart messing with coolant lines😅) so Radium cans it got haha. As for the J pipe I took that straight to my exhaust guy an said "you do" lol.
Lmao I don't blame you, thr exhaust can be such a PIA 💀
Sometimes I miss my WRX. Maybe because it just works, lol. My sti has been a problem child! 😅
Whats the STI Been doing?!
@@Smeedia Idk if you remember me mentioning the Camshaft Position Sensor code in one of your streams a while back. P0346 is the official CEL code. Checked grounds, grounds were good. Replaced the sensor, still present. Noticed damage on the engine wiring harness and the lock on it, replaced that, made it worse. Originally it'd pop the code somewhere around 3-5k rpm under decent to heavy load, after the harness was replaced I can't drive more than a minute without it triggering, so I stopped resetting the ecu. Plus I have a bad oil leak out of that driver side head, I'm thinking the valve cover.
I think it's the ECU, because the code is an electrical code. The exact same p0346 was also prevalent with some 13-14 sti's I found out reading through some forums a while back.
My buddy who's done the bulk of the work and is a diesel mechanic who's worked on subies for 14 years thinks it's something with the avcs causing the sensor to throw an out of range code, or something else mechanical (he also thinks the engine has been rebuilt once before because of some other things he noticed like some non oem gaskets, only 87k miles on this launch edition), recommended a full rebuild, which will address the leak, have Outfront refresh the cams, deck the heads here locally, and throw in an RA block.... Unless I buy some merch and the god of chance blesses me, lol.
Need more FA20 content 😁
Have fun getting rid of the PB Blaster smell!
It burned off when we test drove it🤙
@@Smeedia I accidentally stepped in some when changing my rotors a few months ago. The smell is still there and nothing is working lmao. Also, the garage smelled for weeks.
Those TGV deletes didn't age well lol..... lets get an "ooooof" for your boy. Poor bastard.
He luckily was able to finish his E tune somehow 😅
Another great video thanks , just wondering if you noticed the carbon build up level on the valves when you had the inlet manifold off , I walnut blasted mine at 140k KMs and they were fairly gunked up ,
Thanks again
Long live the FA💪😁 , and happy Easter from Tasmania Australia 🤘
There was some but not much, car only had about 10K miles on it. They get bad around 20-30K 💀 going to have to get a walnut blasting video out soon 🥳
Awesome 😎 ,keep the dream alive brother 🤙
Have you ever thought about putting jacks underneath the car for safety with the lift , I always get sketchy when under a car just a thought love your content and merch
Debated it but the quick jacks are pretty sturdy 🔥 also appreciate the support Ricardo!
Well if you need more FA content I'll just drive on over from the Midwest. Maybe you guys can help me put on the front mount and convert it to some E85, it's ready to be corn fed!
Let's do ittttt 🔥🔥🔥
@@Smeedia Lmao whats that drive from Ohio? Like a couple hours or something right
Not too far 😅😅😅
