NA/T Subaru Impreza Build: 10,000 Miles Later

[@RealSuburbanCowboy]

Super easy to pull the engine and swap those gaskets. If you were in Wisconsin, I would have you swing by and we could knock it out. This is something YOU can do!

[@bretteinhorn8507]

No.

[@HankBaxter]

Great to hear an update on the car. 😁

[@roderickmoyer9851]

This would be a cool video to see a upgrade to the Subaru…

[@bryanst.martin7134]

You couldn't Tee into one of the breather vents of the valve cover? There should be a restrictor for the oil flow, right? Just trying to gauge these little guys. I have a EJ22 that I want to use for a seaplane project. 300HP max emergency take off, 150 cruise.

[@Jonny2Fingers]

Did you get new rims for the Subi?

[@getnanoed]

My 1999 td04 impreza L as been running good for past few years for me. Keeping it at 10 psi max.

Later down the line I know a couple people who run ej255 or 257 short blocks with their single cam heads to add some strength. Even just replacing the headgaskets with sti gaskets help not a bad job to do

[@thesailor4511]

Wouldn’t an EJ255 with a single cam head just be an EJ251

[@_rumble_wagon3204]

@@thesailor4511 the turbo blocks have slightly more support for boost and of course the lower compression pistons and stronger rods in the turbo application it’s just an easy way to add some strength to ur build

[@U43A]

Nice bro! Sub'd

[@ryderzy6860]

idk if you will respond to this, but I was wondering what intake you used? I'm planning on turbo-ing my car and I can't find an intake that will work for me cuz i have a 2005 Subaru 2.5rs, and idk if the stock WRX intake will work for me

[@GoldGuyRides]

@@ryderzy6860 I fabricated my intake from scratch, it was pretty simple. You can see how I did it on my turbocharging video in this playlist.

[@ryderzy6860]

@@GoldGuyRides I just watched that video actually, thanks for your quick response! love your videos man, extremely helpful for my na-turbo adventure!

[@sijjboii]

Bro washed his car consecutively for like 5 hours

[@BRADLEY_RYAN]

I’d be running a 5w-40 not that you are turbo charged. NASIOC has YEARS of research that you can go down that hourly rabbit hole of information. TLDR 5w-40 for EJ turbo charged engines is a great Oil viscosity

[@Marco-qe5zw]

It's probably your oil separator plate leaking

[@WiseMotorsports]

Never use an oil pan gasket on a Subaru you will get a leak ask me how I know

[@WiseMotorsports]

I did a lot of research on it after it happened to me and Subaru specifically says to use rtv they don’t make a gasket for a reason

[@GoldGuyRides]

@@WiseMotorsports if I would have used rtv it would have gotten so messed up by the time I actually got the oil Pan back on properly. It barely fit back in there so I'm glad I used the gasket. It is a high quality fel-pro thick rubber gasket and it is sealing perfectly. I'm not worried about it.

[@bretteinhorn8507]

Your good dude, I used the cork replacement and overtorqued it. Doesn’t leak.

[@WiseMotorsports]

@@GoldGuyRides I used the felpro gasket aswell and had a leak the same week I’ve heard a lot of bad and no good until you but I’m glad it worked for you and I hope it works for others
