Great update Misha. Can you please do a dyno run after the HKS stroker kit has been installed? No one else has done this yet so I think it would be a very popular video. Also a detailed engine build video would be awesome. I’ve been looking at this kit for my BRZ. Cheers mate 👍

GR86/BRZ G2 unfortunately have oil pressure issue & they're pretty common issue, I'm guessing the safest way is install oil accumulator just to be safe, I saw people tried different style baffles & it didn't seems to help.

[@dil6969]

I know these have a pretty common issue of excess RTV getting stuck in the oil pickup. While I don't necessarily think that caused the engine failure, it almost certainly could have exacerbated some kind of oil starvation issue. It's pretty disappointing when you have 20-year-old Japanese cars pounding around tracks all the time without these issues.

[@AmirPomen]

Thats not the main cause..even without stuck rtv..these engine still starvig engine oil at high G-force corner and especially at screaming high rpm

[@flippy9133]

Its crazy that toyota/subaru still doesn't warranty these engines for such a widely know problem

[@boost331]

"widely" as in what? I have seen maybe 10 cars with blown motors. Most of which were heavily tracked cars with no supporting mods. Several of the others were money shifted. I think people exaggerate and there are no more engine failures than your typical car. We don't hear about those because nobody cares about a honda crv or nissan sentra. These cars get attention from enthusiasts so we see it. Considering how most people drive them (myself included) its a miracle there arent more blown engines.

[@Ariskot007]

​@@boost331 Well, some valid arguments, but for different subject of discussion I'm afraid. In case of this Subaru engine there's a well documented issue with sudden oil pressure drop in the right-hand corners. Even on stock tires. And I don't mean just measurable drop, but over 50% of pressure is lost. There is no loss in left-handers.

[@boost331]

@@eledgy Yes it is. It is also documented by the same testers that over filling the oil by 0.5-0.75qts almost entirely solves the problem. Im the most severe cases the pressure loss is still 50% better than running with the OEM specified amount of oil.

[@poff9345]

Sorry to hear about your issue. My GR86 failed too. I heard a split second of dry running on track, standard car & oem oil, level checked that morning (close to max), long right hand bend, 118°C oil temperature, reasonably high RPM (above 5000). Then perhaps 50 miles of gentle road driving later I started to hear the unmistakable 'tuk tuk tuk' sound of a big end bearing going bad. You won't read about mine in any statistics, it was taken care of by Toyota, but it seems too easy to do. As you say, the issue of oil pooling in the heads seems to be very well known with Subaru Sti owners who track their cars. Dry sump conversion appears to be the final solution. Good luck with it, I'm going back to flat-6 with factory dry sump.

[@FairladyS130]

An Accusump will help that engine oil starvation problem, they are commonly used on club race cars to avoid the cost of a dry sump system. It's a flat boxer engine, lubrication is an inherant problem with that engine layout.

Sad to hear that the motor popped, but honestly it's out of your control and shows just how amazing you are to bullet proof it as much as possible for who ever wins it. It shows how your moral compass really does point true north. I have no idea how Toyota sells it with a NASA or SCCA membership in the US, yet it starves oil down to about 1.2bar on track in right handers. I question how it made it past the engineers in testing. I saw Killer B did some testing thinking it was the oil pickup and pan but it ended up making no difference. Kinda makes me think even something extreme like a dry sump might not fix the issue because it's obviously from oil pooling somewhere. I am curious what you guys do to alleviate problem because it's clearly something internal. In all seriousness if you figure it out you will help a lot of GR86 owners out.

Unfortunate that the newer Toyobarus are kinda notorious for oiling issues, they look seriously fun to drive.

[@lukewest708]

It's really a non-issue unless you plan on pushing the car to its limits on track regularly. For a street car that sees occasional moderate track use it IS a fantastically fun car, and while the whole oil pressure thing is sometimes at the back of my mind you have to be consistently pulling pro-level lateral Gs for an extended period of time for it to be a problem and I know I'm not that good of a driver nor are 99.9% of GR86 drivers. It's disappointing that Toyota didn't design their own inline 4 for this platform which was my biggest complaint about the previous gen but I'm not surprised they didn't and honestly for a mostly street driven car the fact that the engine is the same engine that subaru throws at all their economy cars is probably a good thing in terms of parts availability, cost and reliability (not on track ofc)

Just because the engine gave out on the street doesn't mean it was in perfect health before it decided to let go, the oil pressure dips cause wear and damage over time. I'm not trying to say that it isn't an issue at all, just that a mostly street driven car that isnt being driven by a pro driver shouldn't have any problems because of it

currently there's some sort of solution that you can get away with the oil starvation, which is to overfill the engine oil for 1 Quart, this does prevent big oil pressure lost ( still get 30-40 ish which is not perfect but ok) but you do need to drain the 1 Quart back when you're off the track, 1 Quart overfill do make a bubbling issue. but on track, it is fine

You probably will want a Baxter Performance anti-oil drain adapter. This prevents the filter from emptying when shut off (the filter drains in 30 seconds or so). No more dry starts. It also has a schrader valve in the housing so you can blow out the RVT and get more of the oil out. Thanks for the content!!

[@Lutzilla_]

is the "oil-problem" fixed with the 2023 models?

[@kealke]

Idling a (normal) car to "warm it up" is bad for any engine. Unless its tens of degrees below 0, you want to start the engine, let it idle for at most as long as it takes the AC to defog the inside of the windscreen, and then take off calmly. Idling a cold engine for a "long" time does nothing but wear the bearings prematurely. Just FYI.

Actually, since the Oil pressure drops a lot on High G right hand corners, a 5w-40 oil would actually be worse, and most certainly cause the engine to blow, since a thicker oil would take way more time to go back and lubricate the engine. Trust me on this one, never go higher than 5w-30. These engines are not made to support thicker oils, which in almost all cases of engine blows, the owners were using a thicker oil such as 5w-40.

Subaru engines are well known for jumping timing in an accident while the engine is running.....and then there is the junk oil pickup

I'm so in love with the Toyota GR86 (such a perfect car!

[@DenHvideHund]

I hope Subaru/Toyota stands behind their product and fix it. It was made with trackuse in mind in a modern package, so for it to not last or hold up doing this, is a 100% let down by the manufacturer.

[@THESHADOW97139]

Never ..... never . There were problems on the 2.5l turbo and naturally aspirated, from the first generation until today....they have not fixed the problem. They won't do it on this engine.... Afterwards, even Porsche did the same thing, on the 996/997 and even on the current bodies, with certain engines which have much worse problems

[@dielaughing73]

They're not supporting owners though. It's a real negative for a lot of potential buyers who would love to support Toyota and Subaru for making such a car, but expect that support to be a two-way thing. But if a massive company simply says 'no', what is the average owner supposed to do? You can't sue them, or you could but what are the chances of succeeding without bankrupting yourself first?

That's a lot of damage!

Thank you so much misha for this content very interesting! Thank to your "mecanic guy's" for this explications ;)

[@navaho5430]

Why do you call it a Toyota engine its a subaru flat 4 cylinder.

Oil starvation? If so sue toyota.

[@rodsilva80]

Yes, this engine has oil starvation problems. Lots of youtube videos discussing the problem. Must install an oil pressure accumulator.

[@ramptus82]

@@rodsilva80 I agree, but it is not a customer duty to install additional systems to prevent engine damage. It is manufacturer fault. Misha should try to warantee claim. New car or money back.

[@davekutya]

@@ramptus82 they installed an oil cooler and oil sump, imo there is no way warranty is not voided with all that
