Bugeye STI Built From Bare Shell - Complete JDM V7 STI Swap

[@donovano689]

ive had my bugeye for 12 years still stock. i love this car in this vid. i would love to do this to mine.

[@rileysullivan841]

Love this video the perfect “sti build in x minutes” type of video right to the build and exactly what I wanted to hear at the end👏🏽

[@nintendo1614]

I really don't get why you don't have more subs, I love your content. Keep up the good work!

[@TheOriginalZilla]

Hot damn she boogies real good. Really cool to get the AVCS and everything working!!

[@PolishAlexx]

Wow 360whp on Andy's dyno means a sub 11.5s pass and ~122mph. Great results, that GT customs header really works well.

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

This thing is deadly fast with jdm 6spd gearing.

[@tflo9543]

Awesome content guys, been loving the JDM stuff. That thing rips hard. I've got a 02 blaze yellow bugeye with a v9 spec c swap that's waiting to hit the dyno. This shit has got me hyped! Can't wait to hear the elh scream under boost!!!

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Thats wicked! I used to have a sonic yellow spec r1 bugeye myself. So rare! I have the spec c engine in my black bugeye. Bone stock though, tuner keeps bugging me to crank it up but im not much of a power guy myself. I just like the subarus really

[@jgotdawheel]

New sub I have a question what engine rebuild kit “gaskets” do you use ? For the Jdm motor?

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Depends which jdm engine. The v7,v8,v9 use all the same gaskets as domestic ej205 with the exception of the valve cover gaskets. Those can be bought online listed under jdm ej205/ej207. If your asking about a different jdm engine, Im sure i can tell you gasket differences as well on them

[@jgotdawheel]

Thank you

[@eflem7708]

Very cool build! I also used to have a sti tmic on my wrx with the meth nozzle on the bottom. I switched to a cx racing tmic now though(surprisingly doesnt heatsoak anywhere near as bad. I'm running an ej205 with a lgt 5mt with quaife front diff. I'm running a billet wheel ported fp blue now. Not sure on what it has power wise now but it made 355/350 to the tires on my old billet wheel bb vf34 (yes I miss that turbo very much, perfect setup for a 2.0)

[@Horizontally.Opposed]

Kind of odd question but does it have running AC? Thanks!

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Yes fully functioning ac. All the ac stuff remained from the original 02 wrx body

[@jamesrwful]

Sweet car guys. Which turbo is that? and is the torque that high because of the meth? I have 2002 JDM STI also built and stroked and my power is 364whp but my torque is 286ft lbs

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

The turbo is a unknown td05 with billet wheel. His torque would have been from the custom header

[@jamesrwful]

@@TheSubieSanctuary Please tell me more about this custom header. I had converted by setup to twin scroll so I have the OEM STI twinscroll header and up-pipe installed. I also have the twin scroll header and up-pipe from the 2004 Legacy which I had plan to try due to its smaller diameter. Do you think that would shift my dyno graph to the left without sacrificing much at the top? I had ported my heads during the engine build but still retained the stock cams which my tuner suspects is the reason my torque is so low.

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

The header is displayed in vid and discussed, Equal length, 1.8” diameter individual runners. Double the capacity of stock

[@HugoHardinge]

She rips god damn!

[@Def2ual]

The rear light cluster is nice .. from an blobeye ??

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Ah yes! It has blobeye tails and rear bumper

[@HugoHardinge]

Let’s go boys!

[@wallosala3245]

How much did you spend on the build I got on 02

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

Thats a tough question, he had engine and drivetrain come from his old chassis.

[@wallosala3245]

What would you recommend doing Im just trying to get to 300hp -350 hp idk if I should buy a jdm wrx motor or and sti…

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

@@wallosala3245 td05 16-20g turbo, bigger injectors and full exhaust then a tune

[@wallosala3245]

@@TheSubieSanctuary thanks 💪🏽

[@jakeupgunner3897]

Question I just payed $3850 for a 04 Subaru wrx with 250k miles is that bad or ?

[@TheSubieSanctuary]

All comes down to rust i guess. The less rust the more its worth. These cars will be collectible if they aren’t already.

[@XX-kz4zg]

I paid 3500 for a 02 wrx with 145k miles.

[@greenleafgoblin]

I bought a ‘10 Impreza 2.5 premium for 4k, that good?
