    Great video. Only thing I would disagree with is the letting your car idle for long periods of time. Most wear occurs during cold starts. The longer your car takes to warm up, the longer you are in that wear zone. Idling your car takes longer for the oil to heat up and properly lubricate. The general rule is let your car warm up for 30 to 60 seconds and then drive. Drive conservatively and don't go into boost until oil temp is up to operational temps.
    We get temps of -35 degrees celsius here and it would take at least 20 minutes of idling to get it near operating temps. On cold days like that 60 seconds is more than enough to get the oil moving through the motor. 5 minutes of conservative driving and your car is at operating temperatures.

      Exactly... at least someone realizes this lol

    • @ttyyz3731
      @ttyyz3731 5 років тому +2

      I agree 5 min on a really cold day is more then enough. 2 min on a normal hot day and just drive low rpm and stay away from boost and ur fine. Synthetic oil heats up quick. 20 min ur just burning gas

    • @patricknbrooks11
      @patricknbrooks11 4 роки тому

      I agree reason to stay out of boost is the theory of the metal of the turbo expanding under heat and giving more room to the rotor correct?

      +Evan Shanks fact, using higher octane gas will not doing anything for you engine if it isn't rated for it. If you car takes 87, use 87. It is easy to over octane an engine and cause pre Ignition, doesn't happen often but is possible.

      I've owned my '02 WRX since it had 75 miles on it, and I have some complaints... but nothing close to millions. Personally:
      - Every rock that hit the stock windshield = chip
      - stock brake rotors had to be turned 2 or 3 times before the warranty ran out (and I replaced them)
      - clearcoat came off the hood (intercooler) scoop first, then the rest of the car later 😄
      - Shop manuals cost $500
      - The high and low beams are integrated into 1 headlight assembly (i.e. overdrive issues)
      - fat, ugly spoiler
      - body panels so thin and flexible that you dare not sit on them! 😆
      - No ability to turn the radio on without turning on the entire electrical system (unlike GM's cars... Hey, they do, do something good! 😅)
      - tiny foot pedals
      - catalytic convertor installed in front of the turbocharger (if it fails, it'll blow right into the turbo fans)
      Other than that, I absolutely love it! I get to go on a roller coaster ride every time I leave the house! 🤣

    Hey man, wanna let you know, a major cause of cylinder four ring land failure is due to an improper tune. The fuel delivery to cylinder four was running lean the closer you get to fuel cut, a ECM update from Subaru helped eliminate that, but that didnt always trickle down to Tune shops, not in all cases but it was pretty common,

  • @wyattoutlaw2370
    @wyattoutlaw2370 6 років тому +17

    Imho best preventative mod is parallel fuel rails ....you don't even have to buy new ...you can just source a second factory fuel regulator and some fuel hose... then you can just add 2 y-splits one pre / one post fuel rails.
    To complement this - Id recommend
    Catch Can
    Walbro fuel pump
    bigger injectors
    Bosch coils
    (Obviously Get 3 inch turbo back / CA intake - but forget the equal length headers... ive been there , waste of money)
    Add some boost and get it tuned.
    Excedy HD clutch & lightened flywheel.
    Short shift kit.
    Big ass brembos
    then you can look at intercoolers and a bigger turbo
    Then you start throwing money into suspension
    Then your wife gets really pissed off.
    Then you buy a motorbike instead.

    I've got a 2016 STI and the first I brought was a catch can. After 5000+ miles not a single drop of oil in the can. I spoke to the uk's largest Subaru turner and they informed me that a catch can or AOS is pointless and a waste of money on a stock STI. However, they said you only need one if you decide to get a more aggressive tune or larger turbo etc. So don't waste your money, I proved this myself and took mine off after 5000 miles. Hope this helps you guys. Stage 2 onwards get a catch can. Stock cars not needed.

    No mention of e85 or heat soak with a stock radiator? All good tips in the video but from what I know, tuning with e85 and running an upgraded radiator can reduce temps by a lot, reducing the likelihood of ringland failure, etc. Also with e85 you can advance the timing and make a lot more power! Thanks for the video though, a couple things in there I should consider.

    @jrmz 9 років тому +9

    Good tips, except the warming up your car by idling 5-10 mins. It is better for your motor to warm it up running, just keep it below ~3500-4000 rpm. It will warm up faster and in the long run avoid unnecessary wear to the engine.

    • @evanshanks
      @evanshanks  9 років тому

      Not when you have forged internals (in my case). Forged internals take longer to heat up and expand so you can really hurt your motor if you drive it without actually letting it idle. I know it's an extreme case but that's the only reason I said it in the video!

    • @Scoobarruu
      @Scoobarruu 6 років тому +3

      It heats up quicker because it works harder than idling. Oil has 2 numbers, like my oil in my 02 wrx is 5w-40. First number is cold oil viscosity and second number is at full operating temp. So running your motor up until operating temp isn’t very healthy. I warm my car up before I drive and have 225k on stock block and I drive it pretty hard.

    after running the motor too lean, intake install, clearly my fault it gave out.

    Evan here vpower shell is about 50 cents more expensive than just the regular 93 premium fuel. I just can't push myself to spend that much MORE on gas for the same octane rating? I don't have a subie but I do have an r53 mcs and it takes 93...

      It depends on who you're comparing gasoline a with. If you're going to Walmart, there's a reason their gas is so cheap. It comes with the territory. Took a blown motor to convince me to spend $20 more on gas per year.

    Hey, I was thinking of getting a subaru but there aren't any shops specialized in Subarus where I live. I've already read a lot about the EJ25, if I get one first thing I would be doing would be the safety upgrades such as AOS, cyl 4 cooling mod, equal length headers and killerB pickup tube. The thing is, is it worth getting one if I don't know how to do the maintenance myself and there aren't specialized shops for subarus near ?

    @robstyles5002 8 років тому +6

    RIP my EJ257. 2nd motor and I wasn't replacing it again! Easiest way to avoid ringland issues is to buy a LEXUS. What this man doesnt mention is that the EJ257 is very unbalanced and the flat 4 has uneven wear on the rings gravity is the biggest problem. The top of the rings are always starved of oil (especially on startup/warmup) and they will eventually prematurely fail....

    my only gripe is leaving your car idling for 5-10minutes. if you cannot drive your car gently for the first 10minutes anyway, you need to practice self control. ontop of that, the transmission does not warm up sitting in the driveway

    Good tips I already knew about warming my car up I never try to drive it cold in weather in 35° and below I’ll let my car warm up about 20 minutes or more. I’m thinking about getting a sti later on this year I hear alot of people being scared of these cars I never hurt any of my cars and I’m not scared to drive a subi everyone has there opinions

  • @jacksonshelton8055

    With the highway acceleration tip, does this also apply to automatic cars
    Also is an intake upgrade worth it
    If I get my dads subaru I just want it to last really long and give okay performance, maybe off-road, but not much racing or whatever. It’s a daily driver so that’s why

    changing the spark plugs? how often do you do this? google is telling me 80K miles before necessary change.
    Also considering getting the cobb catback exhaust, will this need a tune?
    Changing my down pipe getting a new intake and all this then getting a tune would this void my warranty? I really have no clue. sorry for so many questions lol im a new to all this.

    • @theskipper9718
      @theskipper9718 7 років тому

      Exhaust no tune
      Downpipe you need a tune
      If you're using the spt exhaust that won't void warranty since its from Subaru. Anything other than an oem it will void warranty. But it really depends on your dealership.
