Fixing the "Blown" Subaru WRX STI...

[@johnchase3059]

Never seen someone look so sad that they didn't have to pull a motor 🤣

[@Grooove_e]

Hilarious that someone put that much oil in the thing what an absolute moron Edit: that guy just sold a perfectly good STI lmao

[@mrskitz338]

bet he just filed more oil instead for replacing it

[@ElectricShock14]

WOW that's nuts the amount of oil that was in there WTF!

[@marcomacca5839]

How that's even possible?😅

[@tennentslagerman8910]

Man I feel bad whenever my WRX dipstick is a little over full

[@Michael-qe2so]

Twice as much oil. Thats why they needed two oil temp gauges :)

[@michaellnss]

Bro that shit coulda flooded the turbo and so much more when I saw that I was like wtf

[@Tinesyang]

Whoever did the oil change, you need to go back to 3rd grade.

[@kaihunte8866]

Dont even own any of the cars on the channel I just enjoy the fact that's its car related 💪🏾

[@jamesvesely131]

Same! I love evos and Subaru’s but don’t have any but his content is very entertaining! Great content everyday.

[@captainallwood]

That limp mode and check engine light is for your speed sensor! The trans isn’t able to read your speed and throws the car into limp mode(also why the speedometer doesn’t work). It’s a super simple fix, the sensor is located right under the TMIC on top of the transmission. Pop a new one in and it will feel perfect again.

[@husamsalhi6071]

shout out to the poor previous owner who sold it for overheating and all it needed to fix it A flat-head screwdriver...

😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣 dead

[@stevekocinski8595]

Don't forget the 17mm socket to drain 60% of the oil out. 😂😂

[@erikstreda5980]

I think the oil overfill can cause the oil fumes go through the crank case ventilation into the intake and intercooler. And, golden wheels would look great I think!

[@DaBombDotCom77]

I love that you like to take broken STIs into your loving arms. Watched the last STI rebuild series with the black blob can’t wait to see how the black hawk turns out.

[@rafaek673]

There was a lot of oil and no oil catch can so it went strait to the intake. Clean it well and it will be 👌

[@robertogrimaldo5831]

Rafał o it has an AOS... it went back to the oil pan

[@davids6106]

Roberto Grimaldo yes.. an AOS isn’t a catch can. A catch can would be overfilling from all the all oil. The AOS is gonna end up sending some back.

[@jrhcustom1450]

@@robertogrimaldo5831 look at the hoses on this one. That model Crawford is just a catch can not a air oil separator with return

[@jrhcustom1450]

@@davids6106 it looks like this model based on the hoses visible is just a catch can. Crawford does make more expensive air oil separators with return but this doesn't look like the more expensive model

[@robertogrimaldo5831]

Jrhcustom I’m sorry but that looks like a V2 AOS for 02-07 STIs. Take a closer look throughout the video when he removes the IC. Devin also called it a AOS so...

[@johnson6118]

need 25 min videos more!! that was great!

[@randymccormick7698]

Skills that Devin and I share: Putting waste oil back in a gallon jug.

[@Peruucka]

CHECK OIL CATCH CAN MUST BE FULL OF OIL!!!

[@181pottsy]

That AOS if installed correctly drains back into the engine.

[@illmaticTKD]

Intercooler is probably full of shit too, whole intake most likley

[@stance_fb]

An evo swapped subi would be just the thing to EXPLODE this channel. Lol probably won't happen, love your content you're a great mechanic!

[@SlowDelSol]

That guy drove the STI for 3 years and never learned how to check their oil level.

[@nick-in6rl]

ikr the guy seemed to be a tool😂

[@boostftw123]

dumbass probably didn't know oil needs to be drained and replaced with new oil every couple thousands miles. prob thought its supposed to burn like gas. fucking dumbass

[@danielphythian76]

Honestly not a mechanic or nuts for cars guy but find this channel interesting AF

[@dark2520]

Bring back your Hawkeye sti!!!!! My all time fav car 😍!!! DO IT

[@pab1it05]

THIS IS A CLIP! No BS right to the work at hand.... Awesome one overall. Hopefully it gets back to this.

[@NeroKoso]

Watching around 7:00-7:30. I see you hit rev limiter really low, and your speed-o-meter is not working. I got this same issue with my STi once. I thought something broke bad. But there is really weird safety thing, that if the dash stuff are not working, it puts safety mode on. Mine blew fuse that was going to the dash. Switching that and everything worked. I was so confused at the beginning.

[@franciscocuerno1710]

Its first time you dont make so effort to fix a car!!!! nice Diagnostic dude!!!! Thanks for Videos sorry far away some days of the channel..... Thanks Regards

[@aaron.torres8873]

the fuel cut is related to the ecu not relearning idle. lots of tuned subarus will do that, let it go through a couple heat cycles. Disconnect the battery for like an hour cold then start it with all forms of load off and run for 30min. After turn it off and run it with high load (ac, brights, radio etc)

[@eastonpal2487]

@5:31 Aren't you supposed to add coolant to the highest point in the system in these cars? (The coolant fill tank that is closer up by the intercooler where you are messing with the hose at 6:35)

[@jamesgomez9185]

That's a lot of oil right there ......the owner just wasted this beautiful STI..... Didn't know how to take care of it.....anyway, it's in good hands now.

[@luisr.blanco8098]

Man hopefully it only was excess oil, good luck bro! The question is how the heck they didn’t know it had excess oil 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@dylannash9640]

@@slapdikkie8923 Wtf are you talking about

[@luisr.blanco8098]

Slap Dikkie what do you mean ?

[@Mr.Bearded.Mechanic]

Maybe late question, but how about that air oil separator, isn't it full and it pushing oil into the inlet, (with bad PCV)? Or is it dumping oil back to the sump? What about the excessive oil is ended up in the inlet via AOS? Crankshaft could beat into the oil level and mix it up, than the blow by pushed the actual oil through the PCV/ inlet depression sucked through the PCV? Bad Valve stem seals don't put oil to the inlet, it can only bad PCV and/or turbo I think.

[@derekdok]

So the dude who sold this, must be sick at the minute.😬 a clip tightened and a inter cooler washed out.😂😂

[@UhhhSitrep]

That’s what happens when you don’t know anything about cars or just don’t have the patience for research ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@imbrandon16]

wonder if he'll ever call him and tell him or anything? like hey butt head, fixed your blown car with an oil pan, a flat head screwdriver and 2 cups of gasoline. lol.

[@teamcnatch]

@@UhhhSitrep yea its funny seeing these people who dont know anything and they go to the shops tell them car is smoking and overheating, the shop probably tells them its blown to make lots of money. Bud couldnt even check how much oil was in his STI after 3.5 years, probably wouldve spent a 1/10th of the 13k he whined about spending on silly cobb upgrades if he learned to do it himself.

[@averyheaton224]

Should I get a wrx that is smoking white from the exhaust? (Not only on start up)

[@williepie]

So theres literally nothing wrong with it? The dumb owner just put way too much oil in it?

[@john-danielmartin8753]

These videos are therapeutic for me seeing that i love seeing subarus especially Hawkeyes Mitsubishi owners looking on devin throwing evo wheels on a STI like what blasphemy

[@jevonbigga6172]

Funny both of those evos and sti generations stock wheels were made by the same company lol

[@davidwefler5716]

Love the content... you still looking for OEM sti seats...cause I got a pair

[@Watchingyou-daily]

It actually depends where the head gasket failed. you can have it fail going into the combustion chamber causing the lost of coolant and over pressurizing the block to make it appear it is over full in oil. But the overfill does not help anything and can cause it to smoke till all the excess oil is burned off.

[@E85_STI]

Use the accessport to do a roughness cylinder test 1-4 just to see if there is anything going on in there the vzlues should stay at 0. You shouldnt have much oil in the IC since it has an AOS. You should check the turbo for shaft play just to eliminate some stuff.

[@doylegates3084]

Its nice to see that i am not the only person that makes a complete mess when pouring oil.

[@ElysianConcepts]

I admire how this guys just takes shit apart and not worry lol

[@NeroKoso]

My STi was even shooting oil out from blow off valve, but that was when turbo was really getting rekt. The turbine was really loose. You had your downpipe off, did you feel the turbine in there, if it was loose or still tight?

[@AK-od8gv]

Very well put together!! New subscriber just got my evo x and was happy to see that you live close by!! Been binge watching lately !! Took my car to English and got a full ets turbo kit to go with it now I am at 496 whp just cuz stock it wasn’t very satisfying!! Anyway great job on these videos

[@mikesta8367]

25 min clip cant go wrong,enjoying this content!!

[@barra245t2]

Could be the ringlands,they can be a problem on subies,if there's no catch can you can get a build up of oil in the intake also

[@marquisethomas5611]

So typical day at a subaru shop ?

[@ripslim24]

Yeah buddy. Get a new stage 2 iag motor, cooling mod for cylinder 4 and we back on the road this winter 😎

[@leeswrxsti4902]

If the water pump is leaking, the pump has a weep hole which indicates internal seal failure, or could be the gasket. I have an 05 STi which this happened 2 days ago. Hope this helps.

[@hollowpoint185]

So satisfying watching Devin revive a car the right way.

[@dultn]

the speed sensor gets corrosion from under the i/c water sprayer clean the contacts and the code will go away. its located by the trans dip stick/ fill tube. the fuel cut will stop its a safe mode without speed readings

[@thejuice2929]

If it’s truly got a blouch turbo on it that’s great! I had a blouch 3.0 dominator on my 04 blob eye and it boogied. Blouch is local to me here in Pa.

[@Rumblefan]

Idk if he addresses it later in the video, but the boost cut could be caused by the vehicle speed sensor code. No idea why, but when the speedometer stops working and it throws that code, sometimes it’ll put the car in limp mode or feel sluggish, or even run the radiators constantly. Speaking from experience with mine 🥴

[@BushidoPhoto]

Oil gets in the intercooler on stock STI's from the crappy PCV system. The AOS is supposed to fix that, but maybe the AOS was installed incorrectly or it's flooded from so much oil being in the engine. With my iAG AOS I get zero detectable blow-by. I checked it after 8K miles and zero oil detected in the intercooler when there was tons in it before. If nothing else, it's a Subaru. Your car looks like it's vaping! lol Candy apple color chameleon colored wheels would be SICK!

[@JoseRamirez-op4mu]

I’m having the same problem right now in my 2016 wrx smoke coming out from the back pipes 😢

[@liambrady9852]

That steering wheel is awful!!

[@MethmalDhananjaya]

Definitely. Previous owner is bad in taste.

[@surfdude7575]

Yeah Devin needs to take a hammer to that thing so it can never be used again. lol

[@bfighter125]

Love your video's, I just stumbled across your evo build series. And now I almost watched all the videos you posted now. You keep up the hard work bro.

[@275erz]

You can use petrol to clean the intercooler? Awesome content bro!

[@oppositedirection9935]

Of course. Petrol is solvent

[@275erz]

Opposite Direction Thank U bro! Slowly learning new things every day! 🔥

[@soopermarkus]

I'd be worried about the effect of possible foamed oil on the crank and rods, they didn't sound bad though. Also what does all that oil and extra pressure do to the PCV system?

[@Hasgun1]

Bro please make two videos of cars a day i love your videos hahaha from Australia 🇦🇺

[@matthewnewsome9221]

Blocked PCV could cause the oil from crankcase into intake through the turbo into the intercooler

[@acescape88]

"Barking down the wrong tree" lol

[@matu-nuts7074]

Ikr I've never heard someone say DOWN I thought it was UP

[@workoutcrossman7670]

It is barking up the wrong tree lol

[@creator4413]

Wait what your guys dog doesn't climb up your tree and bark down at you?

[@Wiseguy248]

I am surprised there is no CEL for no speed to the speedometer. Most cars I worked on always had a P code turning on the mil light. 19:25 since you're gonna probably pull the engine out I would do both and eliminate any guess work. Sucks doing the job twice ya know.

[@SoloTravel.D]

25 min video?! hot daaaamn !! awesome !!!

[@bcappy34]

It’s boost cut because it’s on limp mode. Why dccd is blinking. Check your hand break if it’s loose or check oil sensor. Oh check your pvc it can be smoking because of that to

[@nicholastaveras7017]

Why gasoline in the inter cooler, I understand it’s for the viscosity of the oil but what about coolant flush fluid?, is it safe to use gas instead?

[@Chris-tx9ou]

Devin have you ever bought a car that doesn't need a front screen ? I feel the over fill on oil was the issue with smoking - I can also hear the Evo community up in arms you have put them wheels on the Subaru :) toss out all them worry gauges and get down to 3 center ones , boost - oil temp - oil pressure Good To Go GTG !

[@steveplays1541]

Soo the speed sensor is the cause for not only the speedometer obviously but its also the ready for the cut off at around 4 to 5k rpm had same issue in my car the speed sensor broke but maybe what was hanging was the sensor and it needed to be skrewed in or something

[@chrisoakman1046]

Being that full of oil will definitely hurt the turbo as the extra oil in the engine will block the oil return line so the oil cannot drain out the turbo and meaning it will just pump the oil out of the turbo seals

[@ZeddysZ]

need to do a leak down test as well to rule out leakage through piston rings

[@jakesturdevant9904]

Know any reason why a 02 wrx has all 4 cylinder misfires? Car runs great all PSI is good smokes only sometimes

[@gtrsfk9001]

I have no garage, no tools, no idea but I love watching this shit

[@cbova80]

I had a mazdaspeed6 that would smoke after idling for a while because the recommended 5w30 would thin out and leak past turbo seals so putting in 5w40 fixed the issue.

[@Mikey6048]

Bro from this angle, the AOS looks to be installed wrong. Check the coolant and Vacuum hookups please. If anything swap to a IAG. I have zero blow by.

[@JKD6991]

You’re the master of fixing Subarus!

[@kadeemwillock6335]

Would a leak down test work? Don’t know what’s your budget and timeline on the car but maybe pull the turbo just for assurance and redo the PCV setup

[@Jeff-xn1ew]

You make great use of a 1/4 impact. I’m buying one just from watching you use it for everything 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Kidkato]

1/4 and a 1/2 inch impact guns + swivel sockets are totally worth the investment.

[@OOOHBILLY]

I immediately thought it was valve cover gaskets, and hoped, since my 04 smokes. I’m looking to replace them soon.

[@Coda5610]

You said it has a oil cooler correct? Those take about 1qt more but 3 more qts is crazyyy

[@alexisfernandez6797]

Did you hold the gas pedal down to cut off fuel? Or did you remove the fuse/ relay when running the test?

[@jean-olivierboulet-laporte3149]

The front end need some love! Love the content 🤙

[@harrisonmorin616]

Cleaning the inner cooler with gas. if I do that how long should I let it dry for? Just got my fist fozzy and it’s got a tiny bit but I still want to clean it out.

[@stevesas632]

Why didn't you bother to do a leak down test after the compression test? I thought the leak down would give a better idea?

[@Thejoker-zg1gk]

Sick man man looking forward to the next instalment an sti content

[@chun752]

The ac compressor clutch burned on one side , do replace the clutch pulley assembly as well!

[@stephan7124]

Could it be because the amount of oil they had in it prior to emptying it the putting the right amount back in my buddies have wrx’s and they all burn oil?

[@jemisty]

Was the compression test done with the engine warm? When i tested my STi cold the ratios were between 121-125? Same engine EJ257

[@harris19863]

Loving the STI content i think those wheels in a satin bronze would look sick on the black 😍

[@ayyadalzadjali5924]

Paint them as the same as the new STI Series white rims color (which is a dark bronze to brown color)

[@joeb9793]

I may be wrong, but I don't believe a good compression test is any indication that the oil rings are up to snuff. All it tells you is that the compression rings & valves are sealing correctly.

[@jacobshell5802]

I feel that amount of oil was in there cuz whoever checked it. Probs checked it hot and maybe while the engine is running and maybe thought it was low? I mean how else you mess that up?

The sti is known for having oil problems with it in the inter cooler and intake track. Even with an iag aos I have it in my 2018 sti. I bet Bobby’s has oil in her intercooler too

[@joeplescia2145]

That was at 11,000 miles btw

[@aceshadowz209]

the one engine code it threw was for a speed sensor. doesnt mention changing the speed sensor at all jus keeps driving it like the sensor gonna fix itself after sitting for 15 mins lol. good job on cleaning out the oil tho
