Please continue making videos like this! Not many people on YT create informative videos like this and with patience. Honestly such a good video Steve.
Im very late to this video Steve but thank you for this. Im a bit more in depth than the typical "Stage 2 bro" Subaru guy but I love doubling down on my knowledge and I can always appreciate someone who takes time out their lives to dish out more knowledge to the community for anyone that needs it.
Thank you for explaining this like I’m 12. Not bashing, actually a compliment. I understand what I’m looking at but there’s a lot of lingo I don’t keep up with and you did a great job dumbing it right down for me. I have a very good understanding of what this looks like now, thank you much!
You can tell a builder is passionate about their brand. Definitely appreciated the breakdown and details. Subscribed and liked and following. Thanks to Josh i started watching. Keep it up man!
Seriously love the video and the fantastic information, definitely gives a lot more light to the issue at hand. Would it be better to go front mount or a larger top mount IC. Thank you
The problem becomes when the tune is modified to aggressively where the knock sensor can’t pull enough timing fast enough , this is actually the case with pretty much any car not just the sti
Loving the info steve. Big fan from nz man and been following for awhile now. Have a ej20 powered ute in new Zealand and wanting a 500hp proof motor to daily drive on 400hp as its rear wheel.
Great video. I was wondering what exactly ringland was. I mean I kind of knew but had never really seen it like that. I owned/drove a stage 3 speed6 that took all the punishment I could give it but was worried about the subbie because everyone says ringland right away.
Great info, this is not just a Subaru issue either, go watch cleetus McFarland he got to spicy on Timing on his corvette and fried multiple pistons, literally melted on of the pistons......so this goes for any car on the market, poor tuning+aggressive driving = boom
That's something I think people over look. Just going with a bigger turbo and fuel upgrade, and shooting for the same HP is alot better. Nothing is being stressed and over worked.
You mean a vf39 at 25+ psi isnt gonna be efficient and keep the air cool?? Lol this video was super informative, interesting to be able to see how it was detonating and the affects of that on the bearings...
You are correct, however the pistons in the video were not layed out next to each hole they actually came out of which is where the confusion is , sorry about that I should of clarified that in the video

Tuner + Engine builder= Perfect Explanation
I watch a lot of videos.
Definitely you have a lot of experience.
Happy to watch someone who knows what’s he doing !!!
Excellent and practical explanation. Mine got forged pistons and will get more supporting mods before making more power.
Great video Steve! The community needs more videos like this. Especially the FA guys LOL!

My knowledge of Subaru is limited. So I’m loving this material. And I’m a technician also.
Thank you for explaining this like I’m 12.

Awesome info! Thanks for sharing this 🙏

Excellent video!
really good explanation of ringland failure
Very good instructional video thank you for the time you put in to detail time well spent .
My guess is the cam timing was wrong on the bad side? (Besides a bad tune, vacuum or boost leaks, etc.)
Hey, you said upgrade the turbo? Wouldnt that increase the probability of detonation? Sorry im not an expert.
More vids like this please so people understand this is something I learned getting my ASE certs
Awesome video! I've seen many of ringland failures and a video like this is perfect.
Absolute brilliance Steve ✌🏻❤️🙏👁😁😜 Best video, glad I found you 😁😁
Awesome video. Very informative and helpful to know what can happen and researching the why as well.
I didn't know you do rebuilds?
Do you work from home?
Yes I do!
Seriously love the video and the fantastic information, definitely gives a lot more light to the issue at hand. Would it be better to go front mount or a larger top mount IC. Thank you
Great video Steve. This was really easy to follow.
Did you pulled the ecu codes ?
Knock sensor were on it ..?
No codes were present
@@stevetuned you're throwing in new ones to be safe ...
Keep up the Great context!!
Do you have a website?
I appreciate the information a lot Steve
Wellllll.... isn’t most ignition Timing before top dead center.... i.e. “as the piston is coming up”
Don’t sti’s have knock sensors? Doesn’t sound like they are doing there job.
The problem becomes when the tune is modified to aggressively where the knock sensor can’t pull enough timing fast enough , this is actually the case with pretty much any car not just the sti
Thanks for the information

Sure! Email me at stevetuned83@gmail.com

Fa20 don’t have this problem, but you like these better.
Fa20dit actually so still suffer from this actually.
#SteveTuned I thought rods,pistons were ok.
#SteveTuned Thanks for reply, if I lived near you I would have you tune my wrx.😀
Damn!!! Good shit! No further comment. 👏🏽💪🏽
subarubas need more ring end gap especially with boost
You got the cyl numbers wrong.
LH side is cyl 2&4
RH side is cyl 1&3
Nice informative video though for sure :)
You are correct, however the pistons in the video were not layed out next to each hole they actually came out of which is where the confusion is , sorry about that I should of clarified that in the video
Good info
Hey man if you could shoot me a message or something id love to get in contact with you. You know your stuff and i need a motor built
You the best
It’s almost at the point of just ordering a brand new short block from Subaru and starting with all new
An even better option is one of my stage2 shortblocks with forged pistons ;)
Just subscribe💪🏾
the solution is to get a honda civic
