That stop motion part at 3:30 was AMAZING!!! I know how incredibly time consuming that is to do but it was totally worth it if you ask me! Would love to see more of that in the future
Remember when this was what this channel was? These videos. Now it's grown into something so much bigger. An entire network of automotive coverage. It's insane how much it has grown
A fascinating rebuild! From the huge amounts of work, to the insane attention to detail and editing and to the inhuman patience to put all things listed above together, this video is a step above perfection!
Insanely satisfying. I’d love to see yall do a simultaneous rebuild with other channels specializing in fab work, paint, detailing, etc. I’d watch an entire series of yall meeting in the middle and assembling everything together
As openly hostile towards this platform as you were at times, you followed through with precision and patience and it shows...looks great, runs great. Now put it in something and get on the road with it...then the love will start peeking through.
‘hostile’ is denotes great distain, like ‘hate’ and ‘don’t care’. When ever such terms are used, it’s critical to articulate such terms with supporting language and reason why such strong language is required. I don’t think Davin showed such outright distain, nor used such direct language. Words Matter !
@@flyonbyya Agree totally. At best, Davin may have been accused of being bluntly honest at the onset of this project, stating that he had little knowledge of the engine (or the cars themselves) and as such, he had natural concerns for doing one - but also stated he was more than willing to learn as he went.... .,...which he obviously did, quite successfully as Davin always does.
It's always awesome to try something new and learn different techniques....... Quick tip when it come to the old Subaru rebuild is to Understand that when the block is only two Cylinders thick, the crankshaft is sandwiched between two halves of the case, and the engine block and bottom end is multi-peice. Not as per your normal cast 4-6 piston block. When the head sighted down to speck, the block and multipeice assembly warps. And without a fixture tightened to speck, Pre-warping the engine while machining. If a pre-tourked fixture isn't used, When the engine finally gets assembled it burns oil like hell and never lasts long. Sorry to say
@@remissiveslave nah it won’t. The engines don’t do Star Trek miles but they are pretty good. Plus who cares , loads of cool cars are incredibly unreliable .
Despite of the beautiful works on the rebuilt, your cinematic shoot is absolutely amazing. Especially those timelapse, always fascinating. Great job, Hagerty!
Out of all the "first" engine startups on Redline Rebuild, this has got to be the quickest starting one ever. Just turn the key and fire up. NOICE and well done, Davin! :o)
I drive a Subaru WRX wagon just like this one. I replaced the radiator this year and will be replacing the timing belt soon. I hope to drive it for a long time to come. The repairs in this video are great.
It will run much smoother with a proper crank pulley that can dampen the vibrations. That pulley thats on it will make it feel much rougher when moving through the RPM range because the AC, power steering, and alternator are all locked together. Also, very interesting choice painting the timing cover, never seen that done and shocked you got paint to stick to it!
This is probably the most satisfying Time-lapse I've ever watched! The editing is phenomenal and the sound track fit like an aftermarket exhaust! Bravo! All the more remarkable from a "skeptic".
From the teardown to the rebuild and the timelapse & stop motion editing and the overall pacing, this is an exquisite video. Well done everyone involved 👏👏👏
Well done Davin! The build looked complicated. Love the sound of those boxer engines. Maybe you can find a later model VW beetle (sp?) you can put it in. 😄
Funny enough...That boxer sound is not actually the sound of the engine but a sound as a result of the unequal length exhaust manifolds. You put equal length on it and it sounds just like every other 4-cylinder of its size. VW beetle is pretty common. Not a bad option at all. I think It would be cool to put it into something OLD that people don't typically rebuild. Like a Plymouth Cricket or Chevy Covaire? Or maybe find an old BRAT? first gen supra? First gen MR2? Porsche 944? Something like that
@@Darksurfr a corvair would be wicked cool. My dad had a '66 until a few years ago, sadly the rot got to it and he junked it against my wishes, i had subaru rat rod plans for it lol. Would love to see a boxer engine swapped one
I became an avid follower of Hagerty ever since that Timelapse of the Volkswagen beetle rebuild. Truly Davin’s work is pure genius and art. Especially considering that he’s not a fan of Subarus and not much experience. I watch these videos with pure delight in the incalculable power of art and skill. ❤❤❤❤❤
Either an old Beetle or Dune Buggy. I’ve got a Dune Buggy that I need to get fixed up. It was my dad’s and it’s been parked for almost 40 years (since before I was born). I’m debating on doing what he wanted which was 1600cc engine and 12V conversion (as it sits, it is 1200cc and 6V) or I do an EJ20 and modernize it a little. I’ve spent 16 years undecided and it’s time to start working on it.
Gotta be that noob guy but, genuine question. Are the people in this video just so good/experienced that they know all the bits and pieces they're taking off and can track those in the rebuild. If it were me, I'd be taking photos after every bolt and cataloguing the hell out of everything and even then I know I'd mess it up. If its skill etc, then...just...wow 👏👏👏
the tools are all sophisticated. the work feels fast, the results are also satisfying. the machine is pretelled to the final stage and everything is restored. the result is really amazing...👍🏿
Absolute poetry in motion Davin! After starting with 2 years of auto shop in high school and working on cars off and on my whole life, this was so much fun to watch! Well done Davin and Jeff, or as we said in the Navy, BZ! (Bravo Zulu). Not gifted or imaginative enough to tell you what to put her in, but I’ll be watching, I know you will nail it. PS - How much HP does it develop?
This one in stock does around 170-190 as a 2.0 liter single turbo. But can be easily tuned up to twice more power with just turbo, fuel system, intercooler and ECU. Plenty of tuning from Japan and USA, and fun to drive cars, definitely worth to try one
When I was a kid, you open the hood of a car, you knew exactly what you are looking at. Now, jeez, pipes, cables that do what? No one knows. A Scooby engine?, put it in something small! Excellent job as always, superb videography and you're a nice bunch of people too.
It took my a WEEK to do my first cylinder head all by myself on a straight 4 and these guys rebuild an entire Subaru engine in 10 minutes hahahahaha great work!!!
How to attract customers: Make a beautiful semi-detailed video full of restoration process. Show clean and professionally organized workplace. Show the results in the end. Comment the job you done. Let people to see how simple and nice human you are. Done! You got tons of customers. Respect from nearly opposite side of the planet Earth.
I noticed the "head bolted on simulation" jig wasn't used for honing the cylinders, I'm not curious how well the rings seat. From my research, putting torque pressure on the block like the heads were torqued down, will actually distort the cylinder roundness. So you should torque down the head jig, then hone the cylinders. Edit: this is due to the fact that the block is so short and square, which doesn't hold it's shape under pressure as well as a inline engine.
@MahCheeksaJiglin A company in Utah managed to do it a few years ago. They notched the frame to get it to fit and it was really tight but it ran and drove. Too bad the business went under.
Something plus to the details the colors you painted blue give a nice touch and the most important think, the build is done and engine running very smooth, well done and cool video buddy love it.
I always have a love and hate relationship with Subaru engines. I hate the fact that they tend to blow their head gaskets, but I always love seeing them rebuilt and improving their performance and reliability.
Thanks for the video . What a job . How can one remember what one disassembled , to put it back where it should be . Amazing . It is like memorizing how to play all the music notes of an hour long symphony .
I absolutely abhor music in a shop video with the time lapse footage it was 5:10 before I noticed the music it was such a good build. I love the way you work and being an old mechanic myself was quite impressed by your work! Great editing and video work. Thanks for reminding me all the things I retired for : )
Please do mine next. Mine went from 49k to 215k without a single issue, still original battery and starter, etc. The only thing replaced was clutch and headlamp. Now I have a check engine light and loss of compression in a cylinder. It is no longer my daily car but it has been the most reliable thing to me and I really want to fix it up! I love doing everything myself, never had anything fail on me but I don't trust myself with this work lol.
Check out our latest Redline Rebuild video: ua-cam.com/video/94ijZ68-hf8/v-deo.html
Sir!! You are truly a Master Technician!!
So what did the engine go into ?😊
Lets see it go in an impreza coupe. A replica 22b if you will. Incredible job sir!
Put it on a motorcycle
the amount of time that goes into editing this must take the same as the rebuilt time, its crazy good
the stop motion on the cam assembly was pretty cool.
Its always been mint from day 1.. i think i was these more for the editing than the cars to be honest.
I agree wholeheartedly
Awesome video.
@@vyrus24 Agreed! I first noticed the wrench moving at like 1:04 and thought…oh, this is gonna be a cool vid
This was my first thought. Probably the best montage video I’ve ever seen the way it was filmed and edited.
These time-lapse are always so cool to see.
That stop motion part at 3:30 was AMAZING!!! I know how incredibly time consuming that is to do but it was totally worth it if you ask me! Would love to see more of that in the future

Lot of it is crap. Camissa is a clown.
Here was me thinking Davin ONLY worked on muscle car engines....There clearly is no limit to this mans talent!
why not be eclectic? try different types of beers, listen to other genres of music and girls too 😁
I like to think he has a special place in his heart for boxer engines since he worked in that VW Beetle.
Agreed 👍
@@igordeocosta thing is that the Subaru's boxer engine is far more complicated than VW's.
Engine is an engine man
I'd like to see you guys rebuild a rotary engine like what they used to have in the old RX7s
RX8 was the last to have it, but were scrapped for being oil and emissions pigs.
There are custom rotaries
+1
Terrible on fuel, torqueless wonder, burns as much oil as fuel out of necessity, not good for much of anything other than low torque static loads
But a 4-rotor nitrous and turbo in a Lexus race car do sound pretty cool. Hahaha /watch?v=momaslk2Dts

Not worth 5 seconds of labor. Will fall apart very quickly no matter what.

Has been fun watching this one come together, thanks Davin and crew! ✌️ would love to see it put in a Factory Five 818!

The most amazing thing is that when the engine is opened, it is clean and looks great! I love Subaru!
Paused at 3:42 this is a hit. Do more of these! Please, on all types of motors.

Factory Five 818! I feel like that kit needs more attention than it’s gotten. Great build!
This is one if the coolest engine video I ever seen!
A real piece of art!
AWD front engine classic 70's beatle would be a sick build for that. A small footprint motor would make that possible
Well done Davin! The build looked complicated. Love the sound of those boxer engines. Maybe you can find a later model VW beetle (sp?) you can put it in. 😄
I feel like a boxer swap is the best choice, an air cooled porsche would be sacrilegious. so what's the next best thing. that or a micro bus.
They are a common swap into the water cooled Vanagons.
@@brentmickey9774 not the ej205 - 99% of Subaru conversions are non-turbos in the Vanagon like the 2.2L or 2.5L

That smile at the end - a man who knows his skills. Top job!
I enjoyed watching a Subie boxer engine being rebuilt. Great job! The amount of work and detail was amazing.
I love what the power of money can do combined with the right professionals for the job. Love this series.

How about swapping it into an old VW Microbus? That would be a great project for the channel.
I think it should go in an old vw bug, like mighty car mods did. Those things rip! Good stuff

Doesnt fit between the suspension

What a great 10 minute video! So cool! The EJ05 is such a fun, simple, reliable little engine. Love them!
You are the fastest mechanic I have ever seen. lol Man I think you could build any engine you are the best there is!
It would look great in my 2005 Subaru wrx that the motor just went out in. Haven’t had the time to rebuild it.
Find an old Subaru Brat to put that in.
