Everytime I see a video of this build it makes me more excited to see the finished product 👍👍

[@DespaceMan]

Same come on Brett don't keep us hanging :)

[@AWDfreak]

4:42 Those are the cam gears that make up the AVCS (active valve control system) :D In this case, as he said, is a dual-AVCS engine. Not all Subaru engines have dual AVCS, some have single AVCS and some don't have AVCS at all.

MRT Performance Your workshop seems like my dream place to work, it's a massive shame you're not in Auckland NZ

[@79DJB]

Aren't both OEM bolts and ARP nuts 12pt not 16pt vs 6pt and 8pt? If they were 16pt a special socket would be required thereby making it more difficult to assemble?

[@stevehenson755]

Where have you been? I miss your videos

[@karipaturketo5438]

Is that a waterpark slide wristband on yo wrist brett. Marvelous billet ej engine block walkthu. Would lik to shoehorn a billet h6 into my 07 grb sti. Will have to find the cost for th build first. But awesome series of videos good work.

[@JG_Fit]

I'm hoping you got into this detail on every stage of the build and install and all main components?are you doing a rotated turbo install and maybe reverse inlet manifold?

[@MRTPerformanceAustralia]

JG Car Cleaning you'll see soon :)

[@bretth3224]

Can you specify what bore size you want with these blocks? As I was looking for an option with a 97mm bore

[@danaschoen432]

Got a 13 WRX that is due for the timing belt job. This is a stock engine but I don't want to cut corners on this job. I have had the Gates kit recommended, but I have also seen some negative comments about it here on You Tube. Any recommendations you might make would be gratefully received.

[@TheCrazySquirell]

The head bolts can be reused.

[@hirakawiti5070]

thanks very informative, would you be able to do a video on the benefits of short block vs long block?

[@thedragonreborn7444]

Short block is just the engine block and long block is full assembly with heads. I'm not sure what your trying to ask.

[@whatthing89]

I want that block!! Tis so nice!!

[@DaneFerolin]

work of art

[@GTIZI]

Which head gasket brand are you using for this build, and do you need to torque it tighter than normal?

[@normalman539]

Nice calendar dude!

[@LuisRivera-zi9we]

Greetings from SOCAL, Amazing content... keeps me awake all night every night..I’m like a kid at a candy store Silly question, how much is a build like this all together go for?

[@Mustardmartin]

thanks brett great info

[@bestenginejdm1543]

Do you think EJ20Y or EJ20X block fit EJ205 head

[@ghettomonk79]

that is one sexy engine!!! so envious!

[@jeffbecker8716]

Love the gold paint. Looks reflective. Never seen a block painted that color, except for some early Jag heads. What brand/color is it?

[@mmababy]

Its been anodized, willall do gold, blue or natural finish on these billet blocks

[@petrmiskerik]

how is ( horse ) potencial for that assembly ? approximately of course :-)

[@BFE08STI]

I saw some pics of this block, and it had hex head bolts on the mains as well? And I bet it has got pinned mains ?

[@BramBiesiekierski]

rotaxmax3 Yeah. And 4 bolts to hold each bearing together. (instead of 2)

[@richjones8696]

As a factory certified Subaru technician, factory Subaru head bolts are absolutely reusable. They are not torque to yield like many people think they are. The reason Subaru uses angle location on the torque sequence is for more even clamping load.

[@wrxstivideos7422]

I have a new 2019 sti how much to build it so I can make 400whp reliable?

[@pomidor773]

15k usd is a decent estimate

[@rc7175]

What's the price for one of these engines. I would love one in my 2016 Liberty!

[@MRTPerformanceAustralia]

Rob Chatfield link in the description to purchase the block. Call us for a quote to build something specific to your needs.

[@ryanrohauer5940]

Rob Chatfield where I'm from thats a jeep. it doesn't help im a chrysler technician its almost second nature to think jeep ha

[@YUDumpsterBaby]

You said stock Subaru head studs aren't reusable, but are the ARP one reusable??

[@MRTPerformanceAustralia]

OMO .SOUND Yes. ARP head studs can be reused as long as they are in good condition with no defects.

[@YUDumpsterBaby]

MRT Performance Great, thank you. Building a forester xt, but it's nowhere near as bad ass as this build you're doing.

[@1337bubs]

this is an very high end build. that short block alone is probably close to 10k

[@alycestapleton]

OMO .SOUND well arp bolts /stud kits cost over 300 each kit i sent 600 plus on arp bolts because there for a fj20 special order from the states and for that price you would think they would be reusable. dnt people know anything

[@GunsNBudder]

$15k.

[@apeanutbutterwolf6529]

I want it!!!

[@knurri]

Your camera operator needs to lock in exposure. Have better front lighting. BTW, clean your AC filter!!

[@brianxfury]

billet block but no dry sump??

[@Liamv4696]

Brian upgraded wet sump/pickup/oil pump works fine I guess :) dry sump adds another like five grand to the build.

[@MRTPerformanceAustralia]

As this is a street car build. The customer opted to stick with a wet sump setup. While beneficial in some regards, a dry sump would be overkill in this instance and adds unnecessary complexity.

[@TheCrazySquirell]

The owner is an idiot who bought a billet block yet told the shop to keep everything as stock as possible.

[@Yvaneify]

Late reply but the owner is definitely not stupid when he can mange to afford a build like this. Am I right?

[@TheCrazySquirell]

@Javier Gonzalez Dude gtfo. Who the fuck builds a billet block for anything other than a crazy high performance car? He would have been better served spending that money on a built closed deck block.

[@Mrheiri]

I like engine

[@charlescloutier9032]

im sad send me a free sample to test in my impreza wrx 2006 :P

[@joelyboyblue]

14k omg

[@dyingangelo]

delicious

[@damberson4698]

What's up with the gold block. It gave me an erection. Is this anodized or what? Is there color options for these builds

[@MRTPerformanceAustralia]

damberson4698 Willall Racing offer the billet block in a raw or anodised gold finish.

[@pandemoniummisfits]

hex=8 faced nut? well shit I've been buying the wrong damn tools

[@WizardOfWhoopee]

The jerks at the local Subaru service desk said "Yes, re-use the factory head bolts. We always re-use them". Guess how that turned out.

[@TheThecharliejolly]

evo guy dislikes this video

[@alycestapleton]

too bad Subaru's are rubbish did somany head gaskets on so many different models of subaru lost count ,compered too other car in the performance car market id stick clear of subaru, rubbish engines rubbish gearboxs rubbish suspension list goes on and expensive from a Japanese car just like hondasboth of the worse cars brands out of Japan
