these engines can take 5-10 pounds of boost on the stock ECU just fine. it wont explode there are tons of people running these setups for 2+ years with no issues

[@Terminator4000]

5-10 psi of boost coming out of. 20g tdo5 is not same as 5-10psi coming out of a smaller tubro such as a td04z he shoulve started with a smaller turbo

Great vlogs dude…most people buy stuff off the net and then take it to a shop and tuner to fit! You’ll learn more than those keyboard warriors! Keep doing your thing👍🏻

[@devinegamingtv3427]

I twin turbocharged my SAAB 9-5 2.3 AERO (Sequential). After 2 weeks of work I realized I definitely needed a tune for it when I test drove it! I also needed a new fuel pump, injectors and stronger hoses that holds the boost. I´m tuning it myself and still figuring it out! Love your videos!

You've put a lot of work into this car and it's coming along

[@CuttinChris]

Nice man glad its running better for you, to knock that afr down from 16 at wot you should add a rising rate fuel pressure regulator. I believe the na/t guys suggest an 12:1 rrfpr but you should be fine with an 8:1 rrfpr with your maf setup. That should get you closer to the 14.7afr or lower, which most of them are saying is better to be richer than lean. Good work

Yes better rich than lean, lean engines melt pistons... you will get worse fuel economy running rich, but fuel is cheaper than new pistons

You need to dyno tune your car!

Yes a tune not fuel pump

[@RetroVHS0333]

fuel pump and a tune **

[@DuratisDex]

Tune pump and a fuel!

[@popemobile12]

NA/T's don't need a tune with low boost levels.

[@Ceba551]

his old fuel pump is prob overwhelmed as the vehicle is likely operating at its lean fuel clip (or closer to it than normal). More fuel used to compensate for the added intake pressure to keep combustion at stoichiometry!

[@deybi1]

Really good work dude

[@2004SUBARUWRX]

hey i drive a 2004 Subaru Wrx and it came Turbocharged, but newer Subaru's that didn't come Turbocharged well be carful on what Turbocharger you get, and have it tuned cause if you don't after you have the right on in, you could blow the engine or the turbo if its not use to the boost and pressure. I have a friend who's a Mechanic,

[@willssmall5067]

Remove the fuel filter from the tank and install a extetnal fuel filter from the nissan sentra, it will give you little more fuel delivery

Whenever i see people buy a new MAF sensor, it's almost always because they have a leak and not because the MAF is wrong. The probability of this goes up dramatically if someone's bought a new MAF and it's "also broken".

It has like 110k miles everything seems to be in good condition I just need to get everything underneath checked. I wanna make my car faster and yeah my brother keeps saying I wouldn’t be able to

[@benberggren4525]

Your going to need an fmu,with the bigger fuel pump, to get more fuel under boost. You haven't changed your fuel pressure regulator, and you don't want a rich condition all the time, by cranking up fuel rail pressure.

[@JonathanVaucher]

Maybe upgrade injectors for more fuel in the AF ratio.

[@AvalonEndures]

My man went to see his girlfriend mid video and she was like, "Nah, get a haircut before you finish that video." LOL

Hey I'm building one of these rn I have a wrx turbo new I plan to rear mount the turbo I was wondering if you know of there are any places I can ho looking for parts . I'm looking for forged pistons for boost so I don't have to dread going over 8 psi . And having long term racing fun off and on road . Can you make some suggestions please

[@MosesMaingi]

Great job

[@leviturner7658]

You said your only running a little over like 6psi is it a noticeable power increase? Also your videos are great I’m new to this also it’s fun af

[@204_mod_shop]

I'm sure it's something noticable , obviously nothing like running 30 pounds of boost but yunno still makin boost is still making boost

[@dannythompson1948]

Once you hit positive pressure on a turbo ej, its noticeable..

[@Manysdugjohn]

If everything else is working correctly a 6psi boost is 0.3 bar of boost which will get you 30% more power at full boost. That is significant. That car stock is 160 hp so 30% is 48 more, which gets you close to 210.

[@thedustin841]

Shouldn't the afr at wot be like richer ? Like at 12 or even 11.5 I run my na hawkeye at those ranges to keep it safe at high rpms

[@leohughes6921]

I was looking for this comment. i know this video is 4 years old now. but on pump gas in a 10.0:1 compression car you want it to be high 10s low 11s. 14s at WOT is a disaster waiting to happen

[@juancarlosdelrio486]

So I'm doing the exact build pretty much but im undecided on turbo. Hows the lag on the td05? I have a tdo4 but I'm kind of thinking it's too small for a 2.5. Hope got can shed some light

[@orangindonesiatinggaldiame6420]

Where do you live? If you are in indiana . I would have you put a turbo on my 2023 outback.

[@cozifpv2069]

You need to map the turbo boost into the cars ECU because the fuel to air mixture will be wrong

[@CucumberLlamas]

Shut your silly fuckin mouth

[@Tree_Cruiser]

How many miles were on the engine when you hooked the turbo up? The stock EJ253 N/A head gaskets are pretty shit, have you exchanged those already? If not I recommend the WRX head gaskets or the Six Star MLS gaskets. Felpro makes a decent set also. Recent installed new heads and gaskets on my '05 outback and im looking to turbo mine. Thanks for the decent content.

[@GoldGuyRides]

86,000 miles with stock head gaskets and no problems so far, I will change them by 100k for sure

[@Tree_Cruiser]

Itll start eating coolant when theyre blown probably. The stock gaskets come with a graphite layer and the ethylene glycol eats it away so when youre shopping for gaskets stay away from the ones with that layer and also only go with MLS (Multi-layer steel). The aftermarket compound gaskets are also shit and give out to the coolant. Usually blows on the coolant passage>Cylinder seal surfaces on the bottom of the head. Completely do-able with the engine in the car still, but its a tight fit and hard on the back. I mention this because I didnt notice a lift or engine stand in your garage. Neither do I and I had to do it with the block still in the car lol. Feel free to inbox me if you ever run into questions about it.

[@tomsfruitstand6821]

EJs aren’t like an LS where you can boost them to 20lbs with stock bottom end parts and just springs to keep the valves shut. If your doing any kind of boost and you want to drive it reliably I’d say at least do some head mods like cams, valvesprings, and valves under 7lbs. Anymore and you should do bottom end stuff.

[@bryann3389]

Even if you blow the motor, these engines are dirt cheap. Like 200$ with less than 100k if you pull it yourself. (Just find one that was rear ended at recycleler). Maybe 4-500 delivered.

Keep running with an AFR that high under boost & your next project will be putting pistons in it! A big pump, injectors & a tune should have been done right after you put the turbo on it!

The real kicker is that you could drive from Dillon Colorado (11,000 ft) to any place that is sea level and achieve a pressure increase of about 5 psi. Your vehicle is still operating at around the same performance as it did before this build. Without engine control modification your build has gained you whistle sounds, boxer rumble, and poor fuel economy.

I watched your videos and for once kept my trap shut. I wanted you to learn by your own mistakes. I knew the ass hat that told you to use electrical tape was giving you really bad advice. I figured you had to learn this stuff the hard way as most of us do. I enjoy my Subaru and intend to buy an older one for myself as my wife drives our 2014 all the time. They are available all over Market place cheap enough. I dont want one with bent valves and blown head gaskets as most are. I may put in a turbo but in reality, I dont thrash on my vehicles and havent since my Mustangs. It was never in my blood like my brothers. The all owned Dodges and beat them to death at the local drag strip every weekend. These were Muscle cars too though. 1970 Cuda's, Challengers, Road Runners and other high performance vehicles. My first car was a 69 Ponitac Catalina. Then a 74 Matidor Coup. They were fast but not melt the tires fast.
