Installing Accessories FA20 (Turbo, Oil Pan, Mounts, Sensors, etc) 2015-2021 WRX

[@thecrossreference6160]

PERFECT TIMING with this video. Im swapping my 16 FA20 with a new rebuild. And im about to install all the accessories now that i got all my gaskets, orings, and injectors. Doing it all this weekend. Like i said, perfect timing. I used your video of you taking your motor out to remove mine, and it came out beautifully.

That’s awesome! Glad it was helpful to you. Hope it all goes smoothly for you this weekend!

​​@@MrTurboOfficialthanks bro. Yeah, watching your video made me realize I need the banjo washers, but luckily you provided the part number and I got on the phone with subaru and ordered them immediately.

Love you king. Building my block soon following a timing chain skip and these videos are an amazing recourse

Hey can anyone tell me. I believe my head gasket seal is leaking on my 2019 wrx, is it easy to replace or will the egine have to come out to replace that seal. It's my passenger side.

[@MrTurboOfficial]

To replace the head gasket pull the engine. FA20’s normally don’t have head gasket problems, are you sure that’s the problem? Is it oil leaking externally?

[@WilliamHarris_forlife]

@@MrTurboOfficial It's only when I'm driving, but when I go and look under my hood there is oil collecting on top of the egine where the valve cover and the head gasket is.

[@WilliamHarris_forlife]

@@MrTurboOfficial from what I'm seeing it looks like it's just leaking out from the top when I'm driving.

[@MrTurboOfficial]

Are you sure you’re not seeing the valve covers leaking? The head gasket would be closer to the inside of the engine. That doesn’t sound like a head gasket if it’s next to the valve cover. Could also be the cam carrier plate.

[@WilliamHarris_forlife]

@MrTurboOfficial Is there a way I can send a picture on here. I know that it collect around that metal rectangle peice .

I am installing the exact same spark plugs. It says they are pre gapped at 0.024". Is that the gap you went with?

[@MrTurboOfficial]

Spec is .020 - .022 in (.50 - .55mm). I think I checked mine and they were close enough that I left them. If yours are at .024 you could adjust them very little and you’re good but that’s very close to spec already. You have to be very careful adjusting these types of plugs as they can easily be damaged.

whats up man, i came across this trying to find an issue im having with my 2017 wrx, you think i could message you somewhere given that you literally work on these for a living and help me out? Let me know it would mean a lot man.

[@MrTurboOfficial]

Yeah, I’ll try my best to help you out! I just created an instagram account so you can message me there if you’d like. @mrturboofficial

[@Aldwxn]

@@MrTurboOfficial thanks man I appreciate it!

Bro do away with the music killing the videos. It's so loud so you have to turn it down and then when you talk you can barely hear yourself

[@MrTurboOfficial]

Thanks for your feedback, will adjust sound levels more in future videos.

Mr turbo we swapped all my accessories over to a zero mile remanufactured motor brand new and its all together runs perfectly fine idles great but running into the dreaded p0016 code and cannot figure it out . New cam phasers backtracked everything to see if any mistakes nothing... Got a sensor coming in tomorrow.. i read about possibly burnt the code into the ecu or ocv? This code was not on the old motor. What do you think ?

[@MrTurboOfficial]

The OCV’s on these go pretty often. Check the intake and exhaust cam position on a scan tool and see if bank 1 and 2 match (intake bank 1 and intake bank 2 should be similar, and exhaust bank 1 and exhaust bank 2 should be similar). They should match from side to side (or be very close). If they are off from each other, swap the OCV’s from one side to the other and see if the wacky numbers follow the sensor (they are the ones on the front of the engine over the cam phasers on the timing cover). If it follows, replace the defective one. Not a bad idea to do all of them though. Replace the o-ring as well.

[@a-animal1206]

Thank you Bud I'll try that for sure ​@@MrTurboOfficial

[@a-animal1206]

Trying this today but I have heard so many people say you have to change the cam sprocket and ECU at the same time to fix this ..that's ridiculous.. but my motor is new zero miles so I highly doubt the cam sprocket is bad.. also like I said the car didn't have this problem with the old motor.
