Really appreciate the transparency and informing people how to make Subarus last

[@grantgilpin5672]

your wifey is working with bobbi at her new coffee shack? that's awesome to see friends helping friends, supporting eachother and working together! keep up the great work boys! merry christmas all!

[@BaderBuiltRacing]

Yes sir she is! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@bnmperformancefab]

A well built Forester is the coolest, love the XT content 🙌🏻

[@toplistcrew7645]

I love how you push it to its limits. That is the best way to find out how far things will go. Plus it gives you an excuse to tear into the engine. That is what my excuse would be… 😊

[@middlefingergod2803]

Check the Oring where the suction line goes in to the pump. I just had that problem there's a little Oring right under the connector. One bolt and pull off look at Oring

[@kevind_53]

Thanks for the forester serie. It was very fun and informative. You puted a lot of time and efforts to give us videos back to back for decembre! We really appreciate it 🚗💥💨🔥

[@STIroids]

thanks for all the content, i know it's not easy and slows you down, especially during the holidays. Love that each upload is about 30mins so its literally like watching a tv series. keep doing what you're doing!

[@peterose4650]

Really enjoyed the daily content this past month. Thanks for the hard work and awesome builds Josh and Chase. Happy Holidays to you and your ☃️⛄️☃️

Enjoyed all the content from you an your team over vlogmas 2022.

[@toddsnook8058]

That was a great little series you had, miss these type of videos from you. Merry Christmas and thanks for vlogmas bader team

[@adammurray1717]

This sort of content is really good and interesting please keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍

[@artblackwood7936]

With your knowledge and ability to trouble-shoot and re-build engines, I guess I can understand how that could be fun. Thanks for the explanation. Merry Christmas.

[@BericBuilds]

I'm new and I have an identical FXT that I pulled the motor out of... misfire 1&3. I'm new to boxer motors so I will absolutely be tuning in to learn! Shout out smeedia.

Merry Christmas baderbuilt booys!,love your content,Josh love your honesty,your the best in my eyes josh,most transparent dude I watch

[@da9pauly]

Merry Xmas!!! Love the Fozzy build… working to get my 07 Fozzy XT to get up to 500 hp I won a short block off Tanner and I am getting parts here and there when I can for the Fozzy.

[@BigSlickRick75]

Please keep giving us videos atleast every other day! Even if there unedited! Love the regular content!

Yah. You don’t see any coming across like that

[@QuickSpool]

If you have a handheld vacuum pump pull vacuum on the reservoir. With the car off and the wheels off the ground, turn the steering wheel lock to lock.

[@Qazxswer68]

Really enjoyed the Vlogmas:) Wish we could always have a daily Bader upload

[@mcjags06]

Sweet baby Jesus........Now this is a Christmas present!!!

[@gunhound45]

If there is foam/bubbles in the power steering reservoir you might wanna try replacing the o ring on top of the pump. I had the same issue after installing a new turbo inlet, the slightest bump can cause the o ring to stop sealing. Part number is 34439AE020

[@BericBuilds]

Love the pulls!!!!

[@andrewfurtado8271]

Bader has came such a long way! Happy to see all the progress

[@Ellwood420]

Just found your channel looking for stuff for my '10 legacy gt (saw the red one you had a year or so ago). Nice channel!

[@Telesko]

Thank you for talking about the stock motor thing. I have a stock RA block in my garage I am using to replace my blown up 2013. I plan to try and push it to 400 but I was kind of worried if it would handle it long term. I feel more comfortable with it now.

[@bradgreen987]

Bader vlog on Christmas Day! Great stocking stuffers for the day. Thx Josh

[@collinrobinson-theblueprin8558]

The whine of power steering is probably due to a faulty O-ring and Hardened hoses. I had the same issue and I changed the O-ring and the hoses and the noise stopped.

[@SpottedCow1604]

stock motor is just your way of flexing your tuning skills ;)

[@tobiasfrancisco5879]

That Forester is killer bro. Merry Christmas 🎄

Heck yea Bader. I'm thinking start a build channel with other stuff on it but would be doing a 1999 bg5 model wagon. Much inspiration thanks!

[@JonBuiltRacing]

Made 600whp stock motor! Gtx3076r pump e85 over a year strong until car got totaled.😢 onto bigger and better now though. 💪

[@kodehh3322]

Merry Christmas! Glad to see a video today. Can’t wait to see what else you do with the forester.

[@richardknight1258]

I've been saying this long time Jah Bader you need to explain these builds to your viewers about these builds with these insane power on stock motor. Nuff respect. I'm having similar issues with my evo x trying to tune it... it will flow to redline,but wot it breaks up above 5k

[@BericBuilds]

I have a triple pod for mine that is universal(that you could have)... but they sell the ones for the dash cubbie on ebay

[@w3rk3r]

Check out Ortiz custom pods. They have a solid selection of gauge pods for foresters 👍🏾

[@moistpho]

Just got a set of these for my 04 FXT. The fit and finish is fantastic. The lead time is 2-3 weeks, but it is well worth the wait.

[@boostedg215]

I got a set of pods from them and they didn't fit and they cracked

[@Cobsspeedshop]

Ej motors are honestly a very solid engine as long as you know what maintenance is needed to be done when (which can be inconvenient) but is also why people are always shitting on subarus because they want to beat the piss out of them with little to no maintenance

[@sethblackmoore3057]

Loving your content from the Commonwelath of Dominica

[@Yawngodd]

Jack up the passenger side higher then the drivers side it should help bleed the power steering system

[@34pimpdog]

Nah crack the high side and close it real quick while its running yeets the air right out. Makes a fucking mess but its dont real quick.

[@ryanmcdowell4048]

Merry Christmas 🎄 from the McDowells! Great videos bud keep em coming!

I had issue like this and was due too my speed sensor in transmission failing

cant wait for the cosmetic mods

[@elmzsni]

this things sick, fckn storage for days... i love it, lemme go pick up some lumber rq 😭 bader, ever blow multiple a/f sensors on a build? went E85 on a IAG stage 2 tuff, only 'ebay ' on the build is the replica IAG equal length headers... leans me toward bung placement 😢

[@adamwinters4848]

Hey Bader, IAG sells the 60mm-52mm adapters for gauge pods. So if you only find the 60 available you can still make it work. Just an FYI

[@BaderBuiltRacing]

Thank you sir!

[@canoPR]

Hope you had a great xmas

[@joseomarrivera8378]

Merry Christmas 🤶

[@_robertburger]

Ortiz custom pods should have a 52mm center pod for forester.

[@marvinforonda186]

Merry Christmas watching from Philippines

[@RicondaRacing]

When I was much younger I had a 94 Ford Probe (Mazda 323 engine) I did an oil change on and forgot to drain out the old oil. Well I sent it after that and spun a bearing... 🤣 ahhh... I can laugh about it now.

Same thing happened to Devin when he bought that used 06-07 black STI and was blowing white smoke out the tailpipe. Had like 10qts of oil in it,…

[@chriswortham3869]

What about running rotella oil?

[@NimaSomeh]

josh do you E-tune ?

[@matthewferreras7181]

What are you tuning these on now? I just picked up an Emtron KV12 for my build. Have you ever tuned Emtron?

[@Ivart1985]

How much power would be safe for 4eat with sportshift (2007 forester with ej255 ) ? Have you tuned them also?

[@charlesrobinson8500]

🤔Bro I had the same problem with my reservoir change it and you'll go be good to go😅 could be that the filter inside is blocked.

[@BaderBuiltRacing]

This one is a custom built reservoir, maybe something isn’t quite right. Things perfect when it’s warm, no noise. Just cold starts whines

[@pineapplexpress2653]

Merry Christmas. I have a question. 6speed swap 05WRX. Car shifts through all the gears (eng running). When I go to drive it rolls only. Doesn’t add any power. Doesn’t die out. When I have it on jack stands only front wheels move. Any suggestions? Anyone?

[@DylanMorehouse]

I like your schpele on why you do stock motors. Subies just need a little extra care is all

[@dnukem1722]

Do you use the vr1 in stock motors?

[@melissamares-salinas9465]

Ya he does alots of us do

[@brandonwarren2017]

Anyone know how long till VR-1 would destroy your catted DP? (cobb gensi) I’ve been running normal 10-30 valvoline but want to step up to VR-1 when I eventually build the motor but since I’m in cali I need that cat/emissions 😂😂

[@suntzu5562]

Could I get a safe 350 wheel in a stock block 04 wrx? Problem with it is its got piston slap in the cold.

[@melissamares-salinas9465]

You could if the motor's healthy with the right setup and E85

[@BericBuilds]

😃

[@BoostedSpeedDemon]

Call it the Spicy Meatball😂

[@jeremiahjorenby2275]

For everyone I help build EJs, if they didn't have a oil/coolant heat exchanger from factory (e.g. 08-14 WRX, SH Forester XT), I go to the local pullapart and swipe an oil cooler from an NA automatic SG Forester. For the non-turbo builds I'll stick a 1/2in barb in the waterpump (turbo builds get the STI 3 port waterpump). For not a lot of $$$ I can drop oil temps by 30+ deg F, greatly increases oil pressure when hot. V8bait ran 9s making 580whp mustang sooooo 9s stock motor Forester???

[@RandomlnternetGuy]

Cool tip actually. Love pullapart deals like this.

[@jeremiahjorenby2275]

@@RandomlnternetGuy esp since they just refer to it as an oil filter adaptor. eBay sellers will charge $150+ for a used cooler.

Would you call 450 500 for a stock sti motor safe or is that still pushing asking for a friend?😅

[@96SN95]

Why are 5th or 6th gear pulls bad for the engines and why do you want to change the oil every 1000-1500 miles when running E85?

[@melissamares-salinas9465]

He's saying the 5th and 6th Gear pools Lug the engine and it just puts excess amount of stress on it and it's just not good it's not good for any car Subaru particularly can take it hard on the rod bearings in the ring lans if done repeatedly it's a lot worse on the car than if you were just to normally do pools in the right gear and you have to change your oil more frequently on the E85 because it contaminates the oil and it's overall just better on everything and helps the motor keep running strong when you're running high power levels

[@BaderBuiltRacing]

The load it puts on engine, major increase in oil temps, and heat it puts on the cast internals just doesn’t live long term.

[@AcuRobbie]

This oil change ia the most negligent Ive ever been with a car buts because of a move. Im at 4600miles, oil change will be done tomorrow. Not normal to wait that long. I usually do every 2500. But I baby the car everywhere. Rarely hit boost. I let it idle after getting on it. Let it warm up when its cold. Let it warm up a lot and drive it before hitting boost. And I dont get on it often at all. Maybe once every 2 weeks. Unlike my younger self.

[@th4tjosh]

how tf does a stock motor make 600, i swear the normal for subis was like 400 and then your pushing it. is there something im missing

[@michaellnss]

Lol random topic but the last video I had some random dude trying to start shit because I said you can reliably with the correct mods make 500 whp on a stock RA block and the dude was insisting that I said the RA block was a built motor when no I never even said build I only said a type RA block can reliably handle 500hp lol called him out so many times saying obviously a built block it better but for the price and capabilities for a not overly priced block they by all means of your not planning on over 500 whp then the RA isn't a bad choice
