600 HP Daily Driver Subaru STI?! Build Breakdown

[@jesseprice984]

My 03 wrx is at 15000 miles still going strong.I'm doing a refresh all new gaskets, seals,new oil pump,water pump, new turbo,new iag timing belt kit, new complete exhaust everything.All ready have all new mishimoto hose kit and all aluminum radiator.Subarus are great.

[@dogdog4173]

600 WHP at 25 PSI with the FP black is crazy. That is a good fucking tuner. I had a similar set up and I was pushing 550 WHP at 30 PSI. The car wouldn't go more than 6 months (Driving her on the weekends only) without blow a head gasket or some bs problem.

Stage 3 heads probably. Gotta be some non-stock cams I imagine.

[@eduardomurillo2619]

Beautiful color! 🔥 what an awesome build!

[@lucian7182]

Very clean build, the only thing I would highly recommend is getting the versus hood louvers/ vents. They can be used with or without the hood block off but are highly recommended by versus to use if running their block off.

[@O8WRx]

I have had 3 Subarus. All reliable. I had them handled by pros though. I didn't do any of the "I think I can run this without a tune" stuff. I beat the dogshit out of the first 2 and the only problem was my 2008 WRX had a strut leak at about 200k miles. I don't think that's a problem since it was a stock strut. They are very fun cars. I'd recommend one to anyone.

Geez that is one BAD Subie , making serious power, the owner is pretty cool too.

[@SuperAsian78]

Why would you block off the hood scope? Isn’t it better to leave it to help cool the turbo and trans?

[@theiagchannel]

Better cooling with it open, but better aerodynamics with it blocked off!

@@lucian7182 I swear it's somehow related to the same sickness Gamblers have at a casino. Some motorheads love to put power through an engine, tranny, drivetrain and bet on where the weak points will be LOL

[@michael1183]

Always been curious as to the longevity of a build like this. How many miles can you get over it’s lifetime if you drove it conservatively with an occasional hard pull ?

[@JF-vi1xh]

I feel like it's just the car and the tune. Longevity with an EJ is always out the window... even stock! Lol 😆

[@TDT0188]

depends on how you use it and how you maintain it. if it lives on the redline its going to have a much shorter life. if you're daily driving you should get 100k miles out of a forged bottom end if you dont abuse it, maybe more.

[@christopherrogers8316]

[@sabre2112]

I would like to know how he fit the AMS manifold on with that AC pump?

[@theiagchannel]

With the standard AMS manifold, you can retain the AC! Reversed configuration requires the relocation of the alternator and removal of the A/C compressor.

[@sabre2112]

@@theiagchannel yes thanks for that but I have one and it will not fit it hits the back of the AC pump question are u using 19mm spacers?

[@Ghosti-nd9po]

Per the builder @kineticautoworks you need to flip the throttle body, for Cobb mic relocate the BOV port, relocated the expansion tank, boost solenoid other than that not sure what other modifications were needed. They’ve done a lot of AMS fitted subies and would definitely help you out.

[@robertsantiago2155]

😳😳 Amazing Details 🫡🫡🫡 Enjoy in a positive way ✨️

[@theiagchannel]

Thanks for watching!

[@stealthlead]

Sweet build! Question - why block of the hood scoop? I know its front mounted, but wouldn't it just provide additional cooling? Again, awesome build.

[@lucian7182]

The air from the hood scoop creates pressure differential that causes the fmic and radiator to be less efficient when running a fmic. With the scoop removed or blocked off it’s been proven that the fmic and radiator work better.

[@STiGuy]

Only 25lbs on the FP Black? That turbo isn’t efficient till you go over 30lbs. 25lbs on a 2.5L is way to the left of the compressor graph on a FP Black. He’s got the motor & running E. Unless their some other limiting factor like maybe maxing injectors, he can easily sprinkle in more boost without hurting reliability. Tbh the turbo would actually be more efficient

[@Ghosti-nd9po]

Yup maxed injectors.

[@STiGuy]

@@Ghosti-nd9po the owner of the car! Probably the best possible person to reply haha. I knew their had to be a reason to stop at 25lbs. What injector are you on currently?

@@dbbrbdjjfbfvtv The only "reliable" engine Subaru has made so far is the 22B. The EJ25x is shit. Mainly because of poor pcv design causes the engine to ingest a lot lf blow-by, which causes knock, and over time the engine dies.
