Dog Box Swapped 500KW EJ25 Subaru Wagon - Prepping for Powercruise

Today on The Skid Factory We've got Ian's Gen 4 Liberty Wagon in for a few repairs in preparation for SuperCheap Auto Powercruise 91!
Making a reliable 500KW from a 2.5L is a pretty epic achievement and it's done via a Closed Deck & Sleeved EJ25 mated with Spec C EJ207 Heads, a Haltech Elite 2500 controls the show and Boost supplied by a Garrett GTX35/84RS.

LIVE STREAM THIS AFTERNOON 4:00 EST BYO LEMONSQUASH

[@phuzz00]

I'm pretty sure that's 06:00 UTC, hopefully that makes it a bit easier for people to work out when it is in their own timezones.

[@Knackersjewels]

Lucky I watched this on my lunchbreak, normally I'm watching after work, by which time I'd have missed it. So I'll knock off early today for "personal reasons"😉

TODAY?!?!?!

[@Mosesk1988]

Any news old old mates black Xb falcon?

[@DangerDaveMurray]

Love any format of build video gents, big or small , I'd watch Al narrating paint drying, love the relaxed and informative vibe of the channel, no clickbait no dramas no shouting

[@someyoungguy6990]

100% with you mate! Just two blokes doing great things in a shed! Do things the TSF way, to hell with the haters!!

[@jmd6545]

the no shouting is so nice haha

[@Wad3c]

The no 'WHATS UP KZbin ITS YA BOY ALLAN HERE' typical KZbin intro is nice to, although it would be a bit of a laugh if Al did it 🤣

[@davidbrown6193]

Nice👌🏻 laidback and fun! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@eamonquinn70]

I only got onboard with the jz Torana project but I haven't missed an episode since, it's usually my Wednesday highlight 😂

[@sethjensen54]

I love how Al rips on Subarus the entire time he is working on this.

[@13harward]

Great content no matter the format Al and Woody. You need to do what keeps you guys happy, can definitely see how you'd like to get a project in and out the door in one video after staring at a big project for months on end. At the end of the day it's mostly you guys, the laughs you have with each other, the skill sets you show us and much more besides that keep us all interested, the cars are just a happy byproduct of what you do. Thank you Al and Woody. ❤️

[@vinzenzgeske8987]

Same opinion here: If you wanna do big builds I'm happy. If you'd rather get something done in one episode that's also great. Just do what works for you and we'll be around anyway :)

[@joew7897]

Your content is great either way. Short builds, giant builds, helping friends, even event coverage. It's all good.

[@jpstrim]

Keep it up crew, really enjoying the small builds and revisits thrown in with the long term large builds. Recent edits have been on point as well!

[@LongPeter]

As a former non-turbo EJ owner, I can confirm the 18hp figure. Might even be a slight over estimate.

[@GetWRXT]

No dramas and straight cut format is always refreshing. I could watch y'all mod lawn mowers (oh wait) and would enjoy. Keep up the great work!

[@toon_8552]

Love the mix up of the format. Great to see you guys having fun.

[@fatasford]

Getting your mates rides back on the road is the greatest thing you can do

[@ElectraFlarefire]

MCM does the same mixed format. Big builds. Fixing old things. Doing new things. All sorts. All good.

[@stephenmorrish]

That's all right, I'm in the UK and it's still Tuesday! Just googled it and that's 6:00 AM here, so... maybe not.

[@shanewilliams5125]

I’m a fan of easy to watch content that’s less than 30 min. People are more inclined to watch 3 20 min content than 1 one hr

[@ConfusedRaccoon]

Love the sound of straight-cut gears screaming.

[@claytoncadd5786]

Variety is the spice of life so keep the random content coming.

[@FeelingLikeThatNow]

Love it when Al gets a bit punchy. Honestly just want you guys to make the videos that YOU ENJOY MAKING!

[@shanetorok3293]

One does not skip skid factory intro

[@amadafaka]

Any format is great as long as the commentary exist. We need another voice over from AL over Woody's project. The Mr2 series was hilarious.

[@paulhowells6593]

Variety keeps you fresh and enthused, do what you need as it's all great viewing

[@shedshpecracing9433]

The great about tour channel is the variety lads. It keeps the show real, its honest content, you don't want to be a show with a set format, I reckon that would take the fun out of it and make it less fun for you lads, and after all isn't that the point. It's real life building of real people cars. It's not buy-fix-sell-repeat like so many good channels have become. Be real and keep up the great work 🤙👍🇮🇪🇦🇺

[@StratoJohn]

Loving a bit of varied stuff, long projects, short projects, all good stuff

[@bazzadabarra3306]

Any skid factory content is good content 🤘🏼

[@connerlabs]

Great bonus seeing the car get tuned and thrashed at the end!

[@ryanryan9299]

I love your guys' content! I love how your garage is a garage and not a sparkly gym you bring your car to for work

[@jonathanpalmer5505]

Variety is the spice of life. Good content is any content where you guys are passing on your years of knowledge. The varied format works well for me as I'm still lovin' the show.

[@MrNosajwhitey]

As long as I get skid factory content I'll be happy watching

[@e.scottdaugherty8291]

Don't matter how ya get the stuff out. Just enjoy what ya do.

[@Aradinx2]

TSF being one of my favorite KZbin channels, I enjoy all the content regardless of format. Al and Woody are legends.

[@all-flat-engines]

911’s also have pull clutches, they solve the clattering with the heaviest dual mass flywheels in sports car history

[@markianmcnee]

Yep, I was just saying to a mate how I like the small builds and quick updates to old builds in amongst the campaigns 👌

[@michaellomas1696]

Do whatever makes you happy boys. People will watch it or not. Love ya work.

[@scotttamblyn6469]

its good to see projects being revised, no project is ever finnished

Love the "day builds". Nice to see the cars come back and progress

[@IAmTheStiv]

Taking the iron lion. Love Japanese engineering but my inner boggan yearns for that car

[@iansmith5915]

I agree more iron lion longroof content and progress.

[@traegantt1135]

Honestly boys I get just as much from the small jobs as the big ones ! Keep it up !!

I think I speak for all when I say, we'll watch anything that you and Woody do Al! Love the long builds but this stuff is awesome too

[@dougyboote]

Really enjoyed both the day builds and the long ones

The iron lion scrubbed up alright after its recent detail, so I'd be taking it!

Definitely liking the current way you guys are working , any way that works for you guys is good for me .

[@mikehotchkiss8975]

The one day builds are great. Just do what you want, be happy and the content will reflect it

[@H3avyHaul3r]

nothing to complain about, just no BS content for the win 👍

[@mynamisis]

As an STI owner I love all the shade thrown in this video :)

[@WilliamClarkNC]

❤ for the swishy hammer noise. Thanks Woody

[@darrenfrauenfelder5997]

Great format, keep doing what your doing. Unlike other channels you are getting projects done, running and out the door. modus operandi for most other channels seems to be "this week we get another way out of price project no blue collar man can afford to half finish and push in the corner so we can start another one next week to do the same, In between time let take our one running project out and blow it up due to lack of preparation and push it into the corner too." Once again Al and Woody are doing a great job, I've never had anything to do with JDM stuff (leaky toilet seats and 8 cylinders are me) but find you guys very informative and entertaining.

[@Elxmo]

Street cred at the track is why I've got straight cut gears in my Civic... it makes 100kw at the wheels, downhill, with a tail wind, still sounds like I'm in reverse at all times, love it.

[@ScuzzySera]

"Because it's subaru it's actually broken" 🥰

[@build2break]

I’m here for the knowledge you yield, the dad jokes, and the awesome fabrication! Whatever works best for you but it is always pleasurable to see a start and finish in one clip,

[@ShaunButterley]

I just enjoy watching you two idiots have fun. 6 months, or one day. DGAF. Love it.

[@pinealism]

What I like most about skid factory is just Al talking about the process and details of repairing and modifying odd cars, it doesn't matter how long the projects are, I enjoy learning bits here and there.

[@matthewpickering9270]

Any content from the skid factory is great content!!

[@michaelhattingh285]

For me owning an old 2002 wrx turbo Subaru. I really enjoyed this week's content .

[@billnorman8793]

just do what you do ,its all good to watch and learn a few new things

[@Yvolve]

I like the mix of big builds and these smaller single video projects. The bigger builds are really interesting as they are a deep-dive into a full build and the smaller projects are really satisfying to watch. Start to finish, with the end result in action, in 30 minutes is great. Coming along for a six month project is equally great, seeing all the pieces come together, to become a spectacular car. The banter and fun you're having makes any format a good watch. That is what the vast majority of TV shows are lacking. Keep up the great work and thanks for all the entertainment!

[@rogerc2607]

Love the current content

[@mickstraya]

I love this content and all your other content. I will watch Al and Woody anyday

[@888johnmac]

to me , doing the big flashy builds is cool .. but it's also nice to also see the every-day mundane repairs & tweeks that most of the ' reality TV channels ' never show .. just seems more realistic

[@damianlindsey6177]

Man you guys do what you do. I'll always watch.

[@CruiserBrah]

This type of video is all part of it. When you build a car, it just doesn't stop there. It is good to see that there is also an evolution and that these blokes hold onto some of their built cars. Some more content on how they drive, not just on the track would be good. Keep it up.

[@1984stevemoore]

Definitely like the short and sweet projects as well as the long ones. And if it’s an enjoyable change/rest for you which it seams to be as a viewer then even better.

[@Ozlozcircuitresearch]

Dear al and woody i will watch the content you provide and i have not had a complaint yet keep up the good work 👍 😀

I will watch whatever you two blokes put out its all great

I like breaking up the big builds with the quick upgrades. Whatever jobs you upload I will always look forward to Teusday Skid Factory videos

[@vlfreak]

keeping it fresh is all good 👌 Dulcich bang-shift mention is win

[@stevemcrichards8768]

The wagon looks like a good time to me. Very unassuming and very well built with everything you'd need to make power and put it through the driveline reliably.

[@brownsworthy7323]

Love most of what you do but I certainly like these vids as it shows the upkeep, adaption and modification that usually happens on modified cars as not all builds are done in one go it's offen a constant process done in many stages

[@RobbertW2]

I love that you do short builds/repairs/upgrades/reviews between the big builds, its a welcome alteration and keeps things fresh

Hey guys love the show. I've done the r180 with the Frankenstein shaft. Just pulled apart the cv's and made my own. Won't claim I've got anywhere near the horse power this car does but im not soft on the gear ( shed job rear wheel wrx) and I haven't had a rear cv break on me yet. If he got the r160 to last that long might be alright.

Good to know. I'm actually waiting on DSS billet shafts and the stock r180 liberty shafts were to be a stopgap until those turned up.
