I'm not into taking apart car engines, but i find your videos to be very interesting and informative. Keep up the great work, and congrats on the new baby!
It looked like youve been rebuilding turbos your whole life your understanding is very good also Brian is a real G for sending that turbo, you should defenitely put standalone ecu in near future and use it with external wastegate
@ShawnzeyRacing the engineer symbol is a three tier castle as in world War 2 they needed a way of marking engineers on the battle maps. E on its side is a three tier castle. Juan is one of the guys I served with ans happened across this video and was like Briannnnnn. So saying goes "engineers up" we go fix the problems
for such a small youtube channel this is an insanely informative video i can only imagine the content when you finally blow up great video i dont even own a subaru hahah
Hey brother those cam gears have a way higher torque spec than 22ft lbs!! they have an angle torque. Im not sure where you got your spec from but 22ft lb is really low for those spinning gears.
I've done that same thing, looking at the disassembly order of head bolts while assembling. I realized it shortly after and simply torqued A and B a bit more and sent it.
Did I a lifetime Honda Boy watch an hour long video of a man rebuilding a suburu engine?? Yes i did.. your videos are so easy to watch and follow along too.. keep up the great work.
Hey that's awesome to hear :) I think everyone should experience as many cars as possible! That being said this is my 3rd WRX/STI lol but I buy cars and enjoy them for like 6 months and move on usually. Except my skyline GTR and Chevelle I've had those for years!
cool channel. Nice work man. Best of luck with that new baby! 3 weeks ago you said baby was about a month out! Has to be any day now. Father of 4 here, its amazing! Subbed!
Due date is early March! So still got a little bit of time but it could technically come any day now :) Either way I'm excited and ready it's gonna be awesome!
These are great! I'm glad I found your channel. Definitely a subscriber now. I have a VA FA20DIT WRX with some stage three mods on it. I have been wanting to see more EJ stuff so this definitely scratches that itch. I particularly enjoyed seeing the turbo rebuild. I had to recently swap my turbo and I upgraded it in the process. I'd like to rebuild the old one and have it balanced and find it a new home.
Great idea to rebuild your old turbo! Or keep it around in case you need to swap back to it in the future. Or sell it and get some money back works too :) Glad you enjoyed the build!
Once you save up some cash that turbo upgrade would make a solid video - I'll eventually want to do that with my Legacy Spec B once I finish bringing it back to life. Awesome video!
Great job, I can't wait for the first launch 🤩Best regards ,Rob. One thing only... I think you forgot to put small oil line behind left engine cover :( (were is cylinder two).
Hope that you get oil pressure after a few revs of crank before start up .Should be monitored with an oil pressure gauge .Would have recommended that you removed the oil pump plate and packed the cavity with vaseline to help quick oil feed to the dry pump . Good Luck 🙂
The AVCS line from the block to the oil control valve goes behind the rear timing cover. You're going to need to need to pull the cam sprocket and timing cover to put it in. Then redo the timing of course.
yes sir you are so right about that also the two middle bolts on the cylinder heads is A and B they get the extra 45 degree torque so he need to revisit that thanks
Almost hell of a month without your video buddy. But it's Worth it. An hour of good content, Plus it's red day, I'm not going to work today hahahahaha.
@@ShawnzeyRacingit's fine dude, understandable. With all the Christmas and new year going, I'm sure it's hard to be on schedule when your part is literally in shipping for a whole month. I suffer through this too. Order parts for my bike before Christmas and it's still doesn't show up today. Good work btw, I will wait for the next video patiently. Don't rush.
@ShawnzeyRacing I do m8.im rebuilding a 1m seat leon cupra r at the moment my selth. You should look up one of them because I don't think you get them in the USA.
Here before 9k subs, and the sponsors. Also here for the subaru content. those camshafts are more than 22ftlbs. i hope you found that out before installing the engine.
I did fix the camgear torque specs! That'll be in my next video. And not sure on the head bolts torque being updated I think ARP studs use those steps tho!
Foot note upon further viewing of your work Even with a new Belt tensioner Bleeding is recommended to rule out the possibility of air in it due to its position and time in storage after 🙂manufacturing
Hey there subaru bro and the others which are following your build! I have a good 35+ year's worth of building for most people that would leave a few 'HPs' on the table for a very long life and want it to go out past the distance to the moon and back into the driveway where the bodies are falling apart from the rusting and then say they must not forget about getting it fully undercoating in which the polarized climate for the political world will have a good hissy for any drips that hits the ground! Buh Suckered the huggers again. I have been using the 50 state legal to find it just about everywhere and it is used by people who are in highly protected areas of the parks in most closed areas where they may have a fit for a few drips in this area's polan bar and chain lube and with a little bit of heat from a old fridaddy to get it to a reasonable thiner consistency and then spray it on a somewhat cooler car after you have washed the underneath very carefully and then it really needs to be dry.but the warm bar lube and a cool car in the 50s area and the oil cools and it literally will just stick to anything that is cold and it sets up instantly with no real odors except for a bit of light smoke from the exhaust system heat! Shawn!!! When it comes to building up a new subaru engines in the open deck 2.0ejt/@2.5 variations of open deck with not having a good facing on the block and the head's and the original design 2.5 open deck sealing surface with a good several years of horrific gaskets for a very limited area of the block and head's and the NA versions were the same as the turbo versions that are a necessity in which 9 out of 10 will 80s to even less miles or kilometers have to get it done again. There can only be one! The jdm version of this early turbo 1.8 soccer and the NA 2.2 16 valve in most impreza varieties and the legacies of the latest one built with service of the improved 2. 2 with a good amount of revision in the intake and the head's and a few other components to get a little more power and torque to the 99models of legacies and a few of the early legacy outback that are now very few available! However it is not All doom and gloom and the jdm Built for the first year of subaru legacy ss to go to the trial of running the legacy that the Japan model was a good ejt2.0 closed deck for stability of the cylinders and it was developed by the factory STI TEAM AND PRODRIVE to build a good closed deck engine with a top mount intercooler that they had thrown out the rules and built it with their existing performance products to make a very reliable setup and it literally was a good little flat boxer that was surprisingly good and really quick of the very early 90s! But again the factory likes to please the customers and they did listen for a very nice early edition wrx that was not available for the US market and it literally didn't get rid of all of the performance of the US Customer base and they ended up building a great car flat was turbocharged for the US MARKET and the New version of the 89 legacy had a pretty good Big brother and we did get it in the states that was a very capable car called the legacy ss turbo and it literally was available with a custom and highly modified hi knickel block and shared some of the latest engine toys and tricks from the race version of the 2.0ejt however the US marketing version car's has a (Hot) IH36 FOR A AUTO TRANS AND THE MANUAL Has a slightly bigger version of the highly modified version of a incredibly popular and very useful 2.2ejt without any internal problems that plagued the 2.0/2.5T. But the fact of lower boost levels and no intercooler and it required the minimum octane of 91 but if you want a few more hps and a little more safe thevhot air turbo boosted the best for torque in this class and sixe that it was a little bit under rated and it literally was making a good amount of torque and it literally was just about a flat line of 180ftlbs that was available for the entire rev range and it was a good built for the same understatement that was making a reasonable 200 hp and it was a very quick and very understated car that was a good performer. Anyways here is the best secret that is very very important for you to actually build a good subaru engines and it literally is slightly overlooked and it literally is just cleanliness for the entire build and you should seriously need a good little bit of clean and dust free and you should be just alone and remember to take the time to do all of the required checks and step by step and please take a moment and clean up everything from your last step and keep your mind moving forward and be careful about reaching a goal at certain times and intervals soon you'll have a good engine that you have done it! But again this particular engine and it has the ability of taking a massive amount of abuse and it literally is extremely easy to take a great deal of abuse and it literally will take a long while and it will be a rocket . Billy good luck 😮
Did your machine shop have history machining Subaru engines? Because you need the proper torque plates when you machine the case halves, otherwise you might not have true mating surfaces. Mike from the MotoIQ channel has a lot of good information on these engines and how to make em fun and durable, they’re a great resource. Good luck and great work!
I did not ask but they do a lot of EJs. The guy at the shop I talked to does all of there EJs and he personally owns an STI himself. That doesn't mean they did everything right but I trust them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank u for that tip where to get the subaru manual ,,,,,thank u for reading and taking the time to answer great Chanel and looking forward to see that sti first start and if u can can u do a video and what to do when u do a first start on a new fresh motor steps to braking in a motor first oil change been looking around dont really see a video on that particular subject......keep up the good job I think u will go far
@ have not gotten to drive it much yet nervous to drive without an updated tune. ended up going with some aftermarket injectors and fuel pump along with a bunch of other supporting modifications, i’ve been collecting parts for the last year for it. Diving into the open source tuning world.I have a base map a tuner hadn’t me and am waiting on a bigger fuel pump to do some logging and get into boost. stumbled on your channel and can’t wait to see the projects you get into.
That welded up wastegate looks like it's just about ready to become un-welded lol. A little encouragement and a touchup with a grinder and it'll be back to IWG lol (I never understood why people go EWG). Nice job on the rebuild! On the bearing clearances, what I've heard is that you really do want to keep those mains on the tight side. Reason being that the webs being aluminum means the whole engine grows as it warms up and the main clearances get larger. With the Subaru having narrow rods and of course rods being fed through the mains, you really want to keep that tight clearance so you don't have too much pressure dropped on its way to the rods.
Yea the waste gate did have.a big ol crack on it. I tried to persuade it a little already but no dice. I worry about it not sealing right too. And yea the mains were tighter then the rods. Plastigauge isn't very accurate but just lets me know that we're close or in spec at least. It was tighter then the .0015 but not quite .001 so somewhere in between
@@ShawnzeyRacing If it spins it wins! I wouldn't be too worried about a flapper gate sealing perfectly. They're always a little bit open in normal driving. If you have to slam it closed so hard the drive pressure is probably out to lunch anyway.
@@jpshanuson7192 Sounds like the gate probably could have used porting. My ebay 20g would instantly run to 15psi until I ported it and now it holds a nice 8psi wastegate pressure.
love this video series and if i or anyone needs to do an ej rebuild im sending them to you. btw i just bought a carbon hood in bad shape and i just refinished it.
Great video! One thing which you may already have realized is I think you forgot the cam oil line that goes on before you put the back timing cover on. That line is often forgotten and the timing stuff has to come back off unfortunately.
Those exhaust avcs gears pins can break internally when they are removed with that external tool ask me how i know , ended up buyin the special service tool that holds it internally
You arked for Comments/Advice 😉 that Bearing clearance measured was 1.5 Thou not 15Thou. You put the 2nd Rings on upside down ! (heavily lubricate the Rings also on Instal. It's the Center 2 Head bolts that have extra Torque. Way, Too much assembly lube - You want the faintest smear + still use oil. All that stuff does if it's molly based is stops the Rings bedding in. When You have Head bolts with washers just lube the thread and top of the washer - Subaru washers generally have line of serration to stop them spinning on the head. At least 5 times too much silicon - Just experiment with a needle Bead thickness between 2 bits of glass ( you see where it all goes on your stripdown video. You need very little!) Always Make sure you oil the Valves and Buckets + pour oil over the Cams before fitting the Cam Covers. Backfill the Oilway to the pump. Fill the filter and Oil Cooler and you should get instant oil pressure, Obviously poor oil over Everything from the bottom before fitting the Sump Also 😄 Sorry it's bad news on the Rings and Head bolts 😢 But you'll do alright as you have the right attitude 👍
I am pleased to say I might have made a error @12:09 that second ring looks like the scraper edge is up but i'm sure I saw ring markings upwards ( normally a good direction indication) 🤞
Yea the text was up on the second ring so I think I got that correct. For the head bolts I believe the bottom of the washers were smooth but probably just safer to lube the top anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But of course I appreciate all the advice! Usually for my first starts I turn off fuel and turn it all over with the starter with the spark plugs out similar to a compression test but yea pre filling everything is still best!
Also yea I read the bearing clearance wrong XD at least I just said it wrong but it's correct :) saying it wrong and doing it wrong would've sucked lol
@@ShawnzeyRacing that's a huge saving, especially on a Subaru project where aftermarket parts are comparatively so cheap. That's a good mid range set of coil overs or a full exhaust and CAI etc. There's a ton you can do on a Subaru for $1500.
In the market for a Wrx but sure if I trust my copart or fb market place and 40,000 is not in the budget as of right now but none the less learning a lot of the boxer engine and Subarus in general
If you can find a stock one that will be your best bet! The more that's stock the better off you'll be :) That being said no car can survive a lack of maintenance stock or modified so maintenance records are king! Carfax will show all maintenance records if they performed at a reputable shop too :)
It looks like you put the wrist pin clips, when you installed the pistons to the connecting rod, with to opening in the direction of the piston skirts. Those should point to the top or bottom so they can't spring out while running. You did this right when the piston was out of the bore but at 21:00 you showed it in another direction. Maybe you corrected this of screen but better be safe
@@ShawnzeyRacing Yes, you did but you need RTV sealer on the intake side to create a seal. ua-cam.com/video/q3_L2M6aV2g/v-deo.htmlsi=PsCOGL0-QLDT9DrV ( 5:49 minute mark)
The weird torque specs for the heads are to prevent the block halves from warping, as they are so infamous for due to the block halves being made of very thin aluminum 😂 Edit: I wouldn’t trust that turbo even after a rebuild, you never know if there’s metal in the oil passages, unless there’s a way to clean those that I don’t know about lol
Makes sense thanks for sharing! And the only cleaning I can do for the turbo is either soaking it or air can't really take the thing apart any further. Could either buy a new cartridge off eBay for 200 bucks or I could just buy a used exhaust housing for that fo green turbo I got too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Great job I redid my 2013 sti also just bye watching smeedia and bader . I will say hopefully you put on the oil line on the driver side ,otherwise you will be taking apart your timing again .
@ShawnzeyRacing what you did is completely fine a excellent you made the gap bigger than stock and fine for stock turbo like your building. I would have gone a bigger gap to 'future proof' from yourself. Like what if one day you decide a G25-660 is a great idea? 💡
Beware the little 2-3" Y hose for the AOS that connects to a breather nipple on the top of the block. Such a PITA to get on. Probably much easier with the engine out of the car TBH
If you ever take your fuel hanger out the torque is low on those bolts too invest in a small torque wrench you don’t want to guess on those one there weak two the rubber gasket leaks if your off even just a few ftlbs over
Im glad to help in some way. Hope you are able to use that FP in something, and you def deserve a sponsor. Another great video!
Appreciate you Brian!
Hell yeah! Glad to see the car community taking care of one another. Big kuddo’s Brian
Gotta love the community!
Hoping I can add to it in a positive way myself
Dude … it’s just a matter of time before you’re drowning in sponsors. Love your videos brotha ! Keep it up !!
That would be pretty cool :) wonder who my first sponsor will be
I hope it’s Co 23 …
Idk man I already bought all there tools XD would be cool tho :)
I dont own an ej and probably bever will but youre entertaining enough that I watched the whole thing. Great channel dude!
That's awesome! Hopefully you learned something that applies to other cars lol
Absolutely amazing video!! This channel will be huge one day.. The format is 10/10
That would be pretty cool :)
Can't say it wouldn't be a dream job for me!
Great video! I think most of us here would love to see Brian’s turbo go in!
Yea maybe I just get an external waste gate setup ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
this is one of best EJ rebuild video
Glad it's helpful! It's not perfect I did a couple things wrong but hopefully we can all learn from my mistakes lol
@ej25_jesus agreed
I'm not into taking apart car engines, but i find your videos to be very interesting and informative. Keep up the great work, and congrats on the new baby!
I'm the same way! I'm not an engineer or a machinist but I like watching people make stuff in CAD and make it come to life on a lathe :)
Great tutorial bro, well done. Simple build and clear. Thx for sharing.
Happy to do it!
It looked like youve been rebuilding turbos your whole life your understanding is very good also Brian is a real G for sending that turbo, you should defenitely put standalone ecu in near future and use it with external wastegate
Yea I should look into how much an external set up is!
Wolffie!! Engineers Up!!
Tell me more
@ShawnzeyRacing combat engineer. Military job for the win.
That what your UA-cam avatar is?
@ShawnzeyRacing the engineer symbol is a three tier castle as in world War 2 they needed a way of marking engineers on the battle maps. E on its side is a three tier castle.

Big W!
Heck yeah! I'm rebuilding my 05 obxt and this has been immensely helpful!
Definitely download the factory service manual and follow that too!
for such a small youtube channel this is an insanely informative video i can only imagine the content when you finally blow up great video i dont even own a subaru hahah
Hey thanks I appreciate that! 🙂
Ewg setup Forsure! Brian is a beast!!
I've been looking up setups already 😎
Hey brother those cam gears have a way higher torque spec than 22ft lbs!! they have an angle torque. Im not sure where you got your spec from but 22ft lb is really low for those spinning gears.
Ah your right I missed a step! It's 22 ft lbs then another 45 degrees:)
Thanks I'll fix this
@ sweet! wouldve been tragic if those cams gears came loose going down the road haha
@@justinlong6500 I've seen that one, it ain't pretty.
Great looking out! I love when people catch things like this!! definitely saves him another rebuild!
For sure I enjoy that Im held accountable since all my work is on the Internet XD
Yooooo i was waiting for this videooo
Glad you remembered me 😊
Awesome video. Always a fan. Came here for bmw content but stayed for you. All the best
Appreciate that! Glad your watching more then just the BMW stuff! :)
Been waiting for this vid, keep up the good videos!
Glad your here :)
Great job brother. I hope you continue the good work. Your videos are very entertaining and educational
Glad you enjoyed! And hope you can learn something along the way :)
Glad to see another video of this car!
Next one should be faster! Already have all the stuff I think lol
Great video! Can't wait to see the engine running. 🏃
First starts are always so exciting and nerve racking at the same time XD
I've done that same thing, looking at the disassembly order of head bolts while assembling. I realized it shortly after and simply torqued A and B a bit more and sent it.
Yea I'm guessing it'll be fine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If I wasn't going to be stock hp id worry about it more pol

Except my skyline GTR and Chevelle I've had those for years!
Love your video! Love the way you explain things with all the details. Can't wait for the next one!
Awesome to hear:)
Always working on the next one
Throw that turbo in!! I’d be here to watch
Might have to be a future episode. It'll be like 2000 bucks for the external wastegate setup plus tuning
Iv been watching you from day 1 . I fucking enjoy your videos . I cant even express how much i like it.
That's awesome to hear! I really enjoy this UA-cam thing so glad everyone else is enjoying it too lol
good job man gives me motivation to finally rebuild mine thanks 👍
Same same
Get it done! It's not that bad :)
Definitely have the factory service manual around while you do it
wohoo! coffee ready and a new Shanzey video lets go.
What more could you want!?
Love your Subi videos bro
Thanks! ❤️
Hey man really loving this build series! Keep up the awesome work and thanks for getting another Subie back on the road!!!
I appreciate the love! I also like the thought of keeping cars out of the junk yard :)
This is a great video to teach people how to work on their Subaru. By the way congratulations on the new baby
Appreciate it! :)
Im definitely using this video for my subaru build so when it blows up i'll be suing you buddy. Hope you have a good lawyer
I'll make sure to screenshot this comment for the court case XD
Another 1 hour banger
Hell yeah 😎
Hell yeah been looking forward to the next video!
I'll keep them coming! 😁
cool channel. Nice work man. Best of luck with that new baby! 3 weeks ago you said baby was about a month out! Has to be any day now. Father of 4 here, its amazing! Subbed!
Due date is early March!
So still got a little bit of time but it could technically come any day now :)
Either way I'm excited and ready it's gonna be awesome!
I love your videos bro, also the best ej rebuild video ever

Wow great vid hope this all go's well for you!
Hey thanks! So far so good with life :)
Great job, amazing contents and presentation. Keep it up and good luck with all of your projects
Thanks a ton :)
So far projects are going well!
The GR Supra has been quite the task but I'm excited to get back to it after the STI :)
Great video I know that must have been days of solid grafting!!
Some long nights getting this video done :)
Once you save up some cash that turbo upgrade would make a solid video - I'll eventually want to do that with my Legacy Spec B once I finish bringing it back to life. Awesome video!
I'm going to look into getting this turbo working for sure!
Very good video! Keep it up!
I see you from Portugal 🇵🇹
Always cool to have viewers from all over the world!
Great job, I can't wait for the first launch 🤩Best regards ,Rob. One thing only... I think you forgot to put small oil line behind left engine cover :( (were is cylinder two).
Oh! Yep! He's going to have to redo and do all of that work again!
Mmm yea the one that goes to the solenoid.
I was hoping I could get the coolant lines and dip stick on with it there but I forgot about that one
Hope that you get oil pressure after a few revs of crank before start up .Should be monitored with an oil pressure gauge .Would have recommended that you removed the oil pump plate and packed the cavity with vaseline to help quick oil feed to the dry pump . Good Luck 🙂
Yea I always turn the engine over with no spark plugs and no fuel to get everything circulating first!
Been looking forward to this since the last vid
It's finally here 😎 getting the engine in should be faster! Unless something breaks and I have to order a part 🙃
love it gr8 work 🐻💙
Thanks 😁
amazing vid man. learned so much!
Good to hear! :)
The AVCS line from the block to the oil control valve goes behind the rear timing cover. You're going to need to need to pull the cam sprocket and timing cover to put it in. Then redo the timing of course.
Yea that sucks but I'll get it done
At least I stopped there lol
yes sir you are so right about that also the two middle bolts on the cylinder heads is A and B they get the extra 45 degree torque so he need to revisit that thanks
Before u put all your cam gears u have to put all of your oil feed lines that go to the heads they go on the back of the timing belt cover
Yea ill have to redo the timing to do that but not big deal :) thanks
Please do long videos i love them bro
As long as I think it's an entertaining video I'll keep them long for sure! :)
Almost hell of a month without your video buddy. But it's Worth it. An hour of good content, Plus it's red day, I'm not going to work today hahahahaha.
Glad you made it lol :D
3 weeks for a new video is about as fast as I can do them when companies forget to ship me my parts >:(
@@ShawnzeyRacingit's fine dude, understandable. With all the Christmas and new year going, I'm sure it's hard to be on schedule when your part is literally in shipping for a whole month. I suffer through this too. Order parts for my bike before Christmas and it's still doesn't show up today.

I'm in a rush I wanna drive the car! 😄
But gotta make sure it's done right too
Good video m8.i love this stuff.
Thanks :) glad you enjoyed
@ShawnzeyRacing I do m8.im rebuilding a 1m seat leon cupra r at the moment my selth. You should look up one of them because I don't think you get them in the USA.
Awesome detailed video!!! 🙂👌
Glad you liked it!!
Here before 9k subs, and the sponsors. Also here for the subaru content. those camshafts are more than 22ftlbs. i hope you found that out before installing the engine.
also, from what i understand. the adapted torque specs for heads are 30/60/90ft lbs. that way theres no angles/unbolting to mess with
I did fix the camgear torque specs! That'll be in my next video.
And not sure on the head bolts torque being updated I think ARP studs use those steps tho!
I like the budget Subaru build
The budget went up but I'm trying lol
I have bad habits of letting projects scope creep

But the fact of lower boost levels and no intercooler and it required the minimum octane of 91 but if you want a few more hps and a little more safe thevhot air turbo boosted the best for torque in this class and sixe that it was a little bit under rated and it literally was making a good amount of torque and it literally was just about a flat line of 180ftlbs that was available for the entire rev range and it was a good built for the same understatement that was making a reasonable 200 hp and it was a very quick and very understated car that was a good performer. Anyways here is the best secret that is very very important for you to actually build a good subaru engines and it literally is slightly overlooked and it literally is just cleanliness for the entire build and you should seriously need a good little bit of clean and dust free and you should be just alone and remember to take the time to do all of the required checks and step by step and please take a moment and clean up everything from your last step and keep your mind moving forward and be careful about reaching a goal at certain times and intervals soon you'll have a good engine that you have done it! But again this particular engine and it has the ability of taking a massive amount of abuse and it literally is extremely easy to take a great deal of abuse and it literally will take a long while and it will be a rocket . Billy good luck 😮
Always good to be mindful of cleanliness during a build! I hope the engine lives up to its potential :)
Did your machine shop have history machining Subaru engines? Because you need the proper torque plates when you machine the case halves, otherwise you might not have true mating surfaces. Mike from the MotoIQ channel has a lot of good information on these engines and how to make em fun and durable, they’re a great resource. Good luck and great work!
I did not ask but they do a lot of EJs.
The guy at the shop I talked to does all of there EJs and he personally owns an STI himself.
That doesn't mean they did everything right but I trust them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nice, keep the videos coming please
Always working on the next one!
Thank u for that tip where to get the subaru manual ,,,,,thank u for reading and taking the time to answer great Chanel and looking forward to see that sti first start and if u can can u do a video and what to do when u do a first start on a new fresh motor steps to braking in a motor first oil change been looking around dont really see a video on that particular subject......keep up the good job I think u will go far
Yea ill cover first start and engine break in in the next video! Glad you're enjoying:)
Bro, you may have made the best video on UA-cam of all time for BMW and DIY lovers. It was a LOT of work. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed my BMW video and the Subaru one too!
love the subie content i have an 11 wrx i just put a 15 sti motor in just got it running yesterday
Nice work! Liking it more with the STI engine?
@ have not gotten to drive it much yet nervous to drive without an updated tune. ended up going with some aftermarket injectors and fuel pump along with a bunch of other supporting modifications, i’ve been collecting parts for the last year for it. Diving into the open source tuning world.I have a base map a tuner hadn’t me and am waiting on a bigger fuel pump to do some logging and get into boost.
stumbled on your channel and can’t wait to see the projects you get into.
Definitely get a tune! Changing to a different injector will need a tune for sure :)
Thanks for following along!
That welded up wastegate looks like it's just about ready to become un-welded lol. A little encouragement and a touchup with a grinder and it'll be back to IWG lol (I never understood why people go EWG). Nice job on the rebuild! On the bearing clearances, what I've heard is that you really do want to keep those mains on the tight side. Reason being that the webs being aluminum means the whole engine grows as it warms up and the main clearances get larger. With the Subaru having narrow rods and of course rods being fed through the mains, you really want to keep that tight clearance so you don't have too much pressure dropped on its way to the rods.
Yea the waste gate did have.a big ol crack on it.
I tried to persuade it a little already but no dice. I worry about it not sealing right too.
And yea the mains were tighter then the rods. Plastigauge isn't very accurate but just lets me know that we're close or in spec at least.
It was tighter then the .0015 but not quite .001 so somewhere in between
@@ShawnzeyRacing If it spins it wins! I wouldn't be too worried about a flapper gate sealing perfectly. They're always a little bit open in normal driving. If you have to slam it closed so hard the drive pressure is probably out to lunch anyway.
Kinda what I was thinking. Idk if you noticed but my stock turbo has a crack next to the waste gate too lol. So not much better anyway
Used to be because of boost creep with this set up. We were able to band aid it with an EBC but cold weather would max out the injectors easily
@@jpshanuson7192 Sounds like the gate probably could have used porting. My ebay 20g would instantly run to 15psi until I ported it and now it holds a nice 8psi wastegate pressure.
Love your content very helpful.....where did u get your subaru manual ......seems to be a good one.....keep up the great work
I got mine from a website called WRX info.
But if you Google Subaru STI FSM there are a lot of places to get one
love this video series and if i or anyone needs to do an ej rebuild im sending them to you. btw i just bought a carbon hood in bad shape and i just refinished it.
I appreciate it! And nice work on saving the hood too 😎
Great video! One thing which you may already have realized is I think you forgot the cam oil line that goes on before you put the back timing cover on. That line is often forgotten and the timing stuff has to come back off unfortunately.
Yea ill give it a try to get it in but I may have to take off the timing stuff lol
Those exhaust avcs gears pins can break internally when they are removed with that external tool ask me how i know , ended up buyin the special service tool that holds it internally
That sucks! Glad you got it all fixed tho :)
YOOOOOO DAD! Shawnzey just posted!
We out here!
Took so long to get all the parts...
You arked for Comments/Advice 😉
that Bearing clearance measured was 1.5 Thou not 15Thou.
You put the 2nd Rings on upside down ! (heavily lubricate the Rings also on Instal.
It's the Center 2 Head bolts that have extra Torque.
Way, Too much assembly lube - You want the faintest smear + still use oil. All that stuff does if it's molly based is stops the Rings bedding in.
When You have Head bolts with washers just lube the thread and top of the washer - Subaru washers generally have line of serration to stop them spinning on the head.
At least 5 times too much silicon - Just experiment with a needle Bead thickness between 2 bits of glass ( you see where it all goes on your stripdown video. You need very little!)
Always Make sure you oil the Valves and Buckets + pour oil over the Cams before fitting the Cam Covers.
Backfill the Oilway to the pump. Fill the filter and Oil Cooler and you should get instant oil pressure, Obviously poor oil over Everything from the bottom before fitting the Sump Also 😄
Sorry it's bad news on the Rings and Head bolts 😢 But you'll do alright as you have the right attitude 👍
I am pleased to say I might have made a error @12:09 that second ring looks like the scraper edge is up but i'm sure I saw ring markings upwards ( normally a good direction indication) 🤞
Yea the text was up on the second ring so I think I got that correct.
For the head bolts I believe the bottom of the washers were smooth but probably just safer to lube the top anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But of course I appreciate all the advice!
Usually for my first starts I turn off fuel and turn it all over with the starter with the spark plugs out similar to a compression test but yea pre filling everything is still best!
Also yea I read the bearing clearance wrong XD at least I just said it wrong but it's correct :) saying it wrong and doing it wrong would've sucked lol
Again not arguing I truly do appreciate the comment :) I wouldn't ask for comments on things to improve if I didn't mean it lol
@@ShawnzeyRacing It's not so bad when they use an Angular torque, If the washer Skids when Normal Torqing you can easily overtighten fastners
Its best start off with a built engine
But more expensive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@ShawnzeyRacing I mean you know your engine is good, not always wondering about its health, service history or treatment by PO.
@@ShawnzeyRacing ok to clarify.
Your in a good place with the fresh rebuild. 👍
Totally get it!
I really only saved like $1500 doing the build myself instead of buying a short block.
But this is more fun to me :)
@@ShawnzeyRacing that's a huge saving, especially on a Subaru project where aftermarket parts are comparatively so cheap.
That's a good mid range set of coil overs or a full exhaust and CAI etc.
There's a ton you can do on a Subaru for $1500.
In the market for a Wrx but sure if I trust my copart or fb market place and 40,000 is not in the budget as of right now but none the less learning a lot of the boxer engine and Subarus in general
If you can find a stock one that will be your best bet! The more that's stock the better off you'll be :)
That being said no car can survive a lack of maintenance stock or modified so maintenance records are king! Carfax will show all maintenance records if they performed at a reputable shop too :)
Did you miss getting the oil tube behind the right timing cover? They’re impossible to get on with timing done.
Yup :(
I had to take it back off lol
Company 23 tools a must have for working on suby engines.
Yea they made everything a breeze!
46:49 what about your alignment marks between intake and exhaust cam gears in the middle
Yes the 2 dashed marks on both the intake and exhaust cam gears point towards each other in the middle :)
It looks like you put the wrist pin clips, when you installed the pistons to the connecting rod, with to opening in the direction of the piston skirts. Those should point to the top or bottom so they can't spring out while running. You did this right when the piston was out of the bore but at 21:00 you showed it in another direction. Maybe you corrected this of screen but better be safe
Hmm... The factory service manual doesn't mention anything about them being in a certain direction but I'll look into it
1:00:41 that weld has cracked anyway wont take much to grind that down its nearly all the way through
Not a bad idea to grind it down but I'd worry about it sealing.
I did try prying on it a bit to open it but wouldn't budge
I realize price for this car now. Thats a steal, even with a fcd engine..
As long as I get this engine back in and the transmission is good I agree!
42:01 did you do the process for the tensioner ? There’s a weird way your supposed to do that
No I bought a new tensioner so it was already compressed
Go external waste gate! You won’t regret it.
I do enjoy the waste gate flutter 🤔
Uh oh looks like you got a crack on the stock turbo exhaust wastegate hole 48:38
Little bit but we're gonna send it :)
For your turbo rebuild, you missed to put a sealer on the intake side.
I used all the parts in the rebuild kit so maybe I just missed it in the video ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@ShawnzeyRacing Yes, you did but you need RTV sealer on the intake side to create a seal. ua-cam.com/video/q3_L2M6aV2g/v-deo.htmlsi=PsCOGL0-QLDT9DrV ( 5:49 minute mark)
Ah I see the rtv got it thanks!
The weird torque specs for the heads are to prevent the block halves from warping, as they are so infamous for due to the block halves being made of very thin aluminum 😂
Edit: I wouldn’t trust that turbo even after a rebuild, you never know if there’s metal in the oil passages, unless there’s a way to clean those that I don’t know about lol
Makes sense thanks for sharing! And the only cleaning I can do for the turbo is either soaking it or air can't really take the thing apart any further.
Could either buy a new cartridge off eBay for 200 bucks or I could just buy a used exhaust housing for that fo green turbo I got too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
shout out to brian for the turbo
For sure a crazy nice gesture
Great job I redid my 2013 sti also just bye watching smeedia and bader . I will say hopefully you put on the oil line on the driver side ,otherwise you will be taking apart your timing again .
Yea ill have to do that :(
It's ok not a big deal just some timing practice lol
I would have done the rings 20 and 22 thou
That's a very safe gap so no complaints about that
@ShawnzeyRacing what you did is completely fine a excellent you made the gap bigger than stock and fine for stock turbo like your building.
I would have gone a bigger gap to 'future proof' from yourself.
Like what if one day you decide a G25-660 is a great idea? 💡
Very true always good to plan for the future!
This video would get millions of views if change the title bro! COMPLETE SUBARU STI ENGINE REBUILD, from start to finish
Alright I'll try it out :)
@18:22 can you get a crows foot to torque that dinky thing
Good point! I have a set of those but I always forget they exist....
Beware the little 2-3" Y hose for the AOS that connects to a breather nipple on the top of the block. Such a PITA to get on. Probably much easier with the engine out of the car TBH
Not a bad idea. I'll read through the instructions now and do it before I get everything else on
If you ever take your fuel hanger out the torque is low on those bolts too invest in a small torque wrench you don’t want to guess on those one there weak two the rubber gasket leaks if your off even just a few ftlbs over
Yea I have a harbor freight inch pound torque wrench but at lower torques it doesn't seem to accurate to me personally
I should get a better one
16:55 bottom left by the o rings, doesn't that need some gasket too?
I did get some there as well totally correct
Can you machine the turbine housing from the original turbo to use on the new turbo?
That's actually a great question... I didn't even check to see if the exhaust housings were the same. I'll check that out thanks!
Do you still have the F10?
unfortunately no :( I did love that car but in order to keep the UA-cam channel goin I had to sell it to afford things like this :)
At 48:42 you can clearly see that the hot side housing of your turbo has a nasty crack ! Probably not a good idea to use it haha
The first person to catch that! Good eyes 👀 :)
Don't know what the plan is for that yet. Could weld it. Could send it. JB weld maybe. Well see
@@ShawnzeyRacingcould always buy another broken FP green and make 1 hood turbo out of 2 🤷♂️
Not a bad idea I just need the rear housing
YESSSSS
😏
@ thanks for the video I’ll use it as a reference
Make sure to check out the other comments for suggestions too tho! And get the factory service manual too that's where I was getting my information
@@ShawnzeyRacing can’t wait to see more Subaru videos man
Sorry babe I can’t hang out shawnzey posted
Priorities 💝
I NEEED NEXT VIDEO
Working on it! 🫡
When is the supra update coming?
The Subaru is just an intermission.
When the Subaru is done I'll be right back to the Supra:)
👍😎💪
🐐❤️
stock pistons?
Yea the pistons have 8k miles on them so I just reused them to save money
@@ShawnzeyRacing thats the weakest link of the engine!
