High Performance Subaru Boxer-Engine for VW Beetle l EJ25 l Subi-Performance

In this Video I build a EJ25 Non-Turbo Engine for a VW Beetle.
Our Target is something about 250HP.
We create together with Mahle Motrosport these nice Pistons.

Thank you for watching until the end? Most welcome sir....and who wouldn't?!! Such clean and methodical builds, great lighting, well filmed.So good to watch.

[@jah2mon]

Thank you so much for creating English content. You're one of the top engine builders in the world!

[@speedshopkenya4295]

we can only agree . It is just amazing how much of the skills we can use in our daily workshop routine. We love Expert builders #Oktaner300 unite

Always wanted to know how the piston pins attach to the rods on a Subaru, thanks for an awesome video. Greetings from Argentina.

[@joseantoniogalvezgalan4218]

Gracias amigo Andy; aprendo mucho contigo y cada día amo más a mi Forester XT año 2015. Estoy muy contento con la marca Japonesa y tu me muestras el Corazón y Alma del mejor Motor a explosión que existe; eres el mejor Cirujano de los "SUBI". Un gran abrazo de tu Amigo desde España Dr. José Antonio Gálvez Galán.

Fun to watch! Thanks for creating these videos.

I'm not a fan from subaru, but you make some magic, hope we can see soon one of your engines at the dyno.

[@franciscogranacha2836]

Excellent job I had a Pro Drive from December 99 and I had problems twice in the pistons ... Probably if you still had the car, send the engine to be repaired in Subi Performance Congratulations Greetings from Portugal

[@BRONXDEVILDOG]

First! Love these videos. Wish you were in the US. But then again, if you were, you probably wouldn't do such good work. Everything is better in Germany.

[@A6RXN]

I currently run a 2.15 stroker ej20 with closed deck inserts, 14mm head studs and v3 JDM oem heads/cam shafts... currently 484bhp... do you think I would benefit from more boost (currently 1.7bar) or more aggressive cams/ porting the heads? Another excellent video!!

[@davidzimmer2694]

Great videos and outstanding attention to detail.

[@dx4picco650]

New fancy orange gasket maker :D

[@torquemada6781]

ich sage es mal so, die 250 PS halte ich für pure Illusion, selbst 200 PS werden äusserst schwierig zu erreichen sein wenn es auch nur halbwegs zulassungsfähig sein soll.

[@wheelracer]

Ist das wirklich so schwierig aus 2,5 Liter über 200 PS zu erreichen? Das ist dann echt traurig. Ich kenne mich mit Subaru Motoren nicht wirklich aus, komme aus dem Honda-Lager.

[@G1itzik]

hey Subi-Performance, Great video as usual, thanks for the English. any difference between loctite orange silicone and threebond Grey ? or that just what u had on stock ?

hi i want to replace my block from my 2009 subaru forester sohc NA. do sell a short block that is complete like in this video? pls .. how can i contact you.. thank u

[@Mecatronicgarage]

how you call that little tool that you put at the end of the silicone tube

[@davidsabourin7930]

Why is it that the EJ25 engine has a main bearing journal that has no pressurized lubrication? And is that a common failure in this engine? When I realized that it really turned me away from this engine. Just makes no sense to me at all.

[@abc123546879]

Been meticulous with the assembly of the motor is job one.

[@johnvandeven2188]

Here is what I do not understand. The block is assembled dry. Then the main bearings are measured and line honed to specification. After honing is finished, the block is split and all the rubber washers and silicon is then applied to the case half. The entire assembly is then bolted and torqued down. My issue and question is......wouldn't the application of silicon increase the size of the main bearings and potentially cause main bearing failure.

Hallo, dein Schlusssatz könntest du auch noch zusätzlich in Deutsch sagen. Das ist immer sehr Schade das du fast alles in Englisch sagst, so gut ist mein Englisch auch nicht. Wir sind hier nun Mal in Deutschland und du hast dein Betrieb ja nun Mal auch in Deutschland.

[@AmirPomen]

Hi... Can you discuss your opinion on rev limit for sport/semi race driving condition for each subaru engine combination? Like ej20 recommended rev limit? 8000-9000rpm? Ej22 75mm stroke - 99mm bore rev limit? Ej21 79mm stroke - 92mm bore rev limit? Ej25 79mm stroke - 99mm bore rev limit? Ej27 83mm stroke - 100mm bore rev limit? Ejxx 83mm stroke - 92mm bore rev limit and so on? Provided all those engine configuration have suitable bearing clearance, suitable oil pump size, suitable camshaft for the rev range and certainly suitable turbo to follow...

[@vl639]

Amazing work guys!

[@TurboOST-UFA]

Просто оставлю этот комментарий: не видел я еще поршней для атмосферок таких. а проект интересен.

[@wipers7723]

How is it possible to get 200+hp from an n/a motor?

[@surfside75]

Easily😂

[@TheLeonmafioso]

ask to honda and the s2000 engine which made 123 hp per littre.

[@wipers7723]

Ok I'll ask Honda and get back to you!

[@TheLeonmafioso]

@@wipers7723 no, using a variable valve lift, a variable valve time and variable intake lenght systems. Opening valves low lift, a long intake and opening the valves later you Will have a good low end torque, and with a big lift valve opening, an early valve opening and a short lenght admition runner you improve high end horsepower. With a variable in all moment system you Will have a flat torque delivery and the best horsepower. Sorry my English isnt good.

[@ttcherrick]

I am always deeply impressed with the quality of your tools in your spotless shop. Makes my rag-tag assemblage of "tools" look pretty sad. However, that power ring-gap filer looks like it is straight out of Harbor Freight. Don't the Germans make a better-quality tool? Maybe you need a Patreon account: I'll kick in a few USD.

[@benlunken6581]

New to your channel and loving watching your engine builds. :) They're amazing! Excuse my ignorance as I've never built a performance engine before but is there a reason you don't put the piston rings on the pistons before weighing them? Surely this would give you better accuracy for balancing?

[@Fumoblu]

Wow! You are doing a great job and using the same materials we use on motorcycle bikes! I'm impressed! One suggestion: you should always use montage fet or installation greas on steel bolts inside alluminum cases. It' very thin and protects from oxidation. Maybe you are using it already😉👍

[@plasmatoru943]

What are your general recommendations for an EJ25 turbo rally engine? We don't need to make too much horsepower for gravel rally but we need reliability! Thanks so much!
