2017 STI Fuel Pump Install! Employee Build: Muchee's Subaru STI | EP. 2.1

[@howie_mtb]

I have actually watched quite a few videos on fuel pump upgrades but I found this super easy to follow along. Definitely going to use this as a reference when I take the plunge one day. Keep up the great work guys 🔥🔥🔥

[@GrimmSpeed]

We wanted to make it as easy to follow as possible!

[@SoLSamuraibloodblade]

Tip to doing anything fuel pump related, 1/4 tank or less. Really sucks to drop something into a tank that’s almost full.

[@GrimmSpeed]

Very true. Next time we tackle a fuel pump we will definitely do that.

[@Brett4517]

I had the same issue with the AEM supplied filter. I folded it as you guys did. A common thing is to use a NEW oem filter. That seems to fit perfect as you would expect.

[@paulmarsdensr1095]

Yes I can't wait guys. Stay safe.

[@paulmarsdensr1095]

Great install guys. I seen the snow and it sent chills up and down. I couldn't live in Minnesota. Stay safe brother 🙏.

[@GrimmSpeed]

Thanks Paul! It's definitely a rough place to live at times, but we love it.

[@paulmarsdensr1095]

@@GrimmSpeed God Bless you all brother. I'm from Los Angeles so you know I'm spoiled. I have a 2017 base model WRX. I'm retired Navy. I love my car. What are your thoughts on the new models of WRX and STI ?

[@GrimmSpeed]

@@paulmarsdensr1095 That's awesome to hear Paul! Just waiting on the edge of our seats to see exactly what the new 2022 STI will look/drive like, hopefully Subaru drops some more details soon!

With this fuel pump can you have your stock fuel injectors

[@carlosantoniocabreraiii2460]

Just wondering if changing out your injectors and your fuel pump like you did here. Before starting the tear down could you start the car and pull the fuel pump fuse out and let the car turn off so you don't have any fuel in the lines.

[@krowncarnival]

I did this install and it worked for a 10mins then when I went to start back up it blew a fuel pump fuse. Any idea why it would do that? Also used the dw300 adapter kit and fuel sock.

[@GrimmSpeed]

Hmm, not sure why it would blow a fuse. The typical issue is people forgetting to transfer the oring from the OE pump over in which case the vehicle dies almost immediately. I would first put a new fuse in and see if it happens again, then retrace your install/contact DW to see if they have any experience with the issue. GL!

[@aneurysmgarage4694]

which gas pump will be better for my 2018 wrx base model completely stock?

[@flatmotion1]

the stock one if your car is stock. Why would you upgrade?

[@MisterS4League]

Do i need a anti surge kit like in the old stis? Or is the intank fuel system of the new stis good enouth? I like to run 500hp on pump gas with 1050cc.

[@GrimmSpeed]

No you shouldn't need to a run an anti surge kit. Especially if you are going for 500hp.

[@MisterS4League]

@@GrimmSpeed i cant find any for my 2018 sti

[@rBroneak]

Look at the wizard go!

[@SanderDavidNorris]

I followed this video to install my AEM 340 pump on my 2016 STi and you guys didn’t mention you NEED to re use the plastic spacer from the stock pump on the new one. My cars fuel pressure dropped to 15 psi and had to re install

[@user-njyzcip]

What spacer? For the fuel sock?

[@SanderDavidNorris]

@@user-njyzcip its the spacer that goes onto the plastic tip of the fuel pump

[@user-njyzcip]

@@SanderDavidNorris oh that one, yeah

[@chris00764]

Came here to call this issue out. I threw away my fuel pump because he said "where done with that one". The reality is I have been chasing lean fuel issues now and after watching other videos I assume it is from the plastic tip that was not transfered to the new pump. In addition, he didn't mention ensuring the O-Rings where set on the male side of the connectors either as they get stuck in the female side of the connectors when you separate them. Going to verify both tomorrow when I get back under the engine.

[@SanderDavidNorris]

@@chris00764 My car was running so bad before I figured it out I thought I had broken something installing all the bolt ons. They really need to make an edit for this video telling people to re use that stock spacer (even if it is kind of obvious)

[@mrphiscal]

Tell me about that white FOZZ in the beginning .

[@GrimmSpeed]

The White Forester in the beginning is an employee's vehicle. Its pretty much stock, minus some exhaust, and intake work. And a base tune of course.

[@mrphiscal]

GrimmSpeed i think is listed on your employees blog on you website ( shout out to the notorious one )

[@lokiwoki4169]

did you have to wire the aem fuel pump or is it plugg and play?

[@GrimmSpeed]

As long as you get the right model, the AEM fuel pump connector is plug-and-play. Keep in mind that you do have to tune for this upgrade though.

[@cslammon]

No hard wiring?

[@Brett4517]

No, It's plug and play

[@rekonize007ify]

do you guys remember the Part number?

Yes! GS! 🔥🇺🇸

[@dennistaylor7830]

What, no torque wrench?? And no torquing of nuts in criss-cross fashion so everything seats and seals properly?

[@snoogans349]

Missing important instruction and didn't even get an STI specific fuel pump, hence why the filter is too big..find another video

[@paulmarsdensr1095]

Subies forever.

[@tullyman82]

WTF did I work at DAHL FORD with you dude???????????

[@tullyman82]
