Stage 3+ On The STI | Part 1 | Removal Of The Intake Manifold

[@valkery8068]

This should be a great series of videos. Looking forward to them all.

[@BeeAboveAverage]

Ezequiel1974 Thank you :) Part 2 comes out tonight

[@brandonmillette]

So glad I found your channel, love seeing the progression and how helpful you are when it comes to details on how you did everything.

[@BeeAboveAverage]

Brandon Millette Thank you man, that’s what I’m here to try to do :)

[@brandonmillette]

@@BeeAboveAverage Question regarding the atmospheric BOV. From the research I've found isn't it much better for you to have a recirculating BOV instead of atmospheric?

[@BeeAboveAverage]

Brandon Millette If you get it tuned on Speed density it runs just fine :) That is what I did :)

[@sextuspestus7054]

Thanks for not acting like annoying vloggers, great vid

[@BeeAboveAverage]

Glad you liked it :)

[@Will-cu2ci]

I’m about to buy a Subaru wrx sti and will upgrade to stage 3 eventually. I’m so lucky to find your channel, it’s so informative and straight forward

[@BeeAboveAverage]

Thank you that is my goal 😙 I’m excited for you and your journey with the STI, you won’t be disappointed.

[@saxqtzk]

Great video. Thanks for the guide, helped me through the process of removing my manifold.

[@N54Guru]

This was a seriously good video dude. I have been wrenching on the EJ on and off for 8 years now and this helped refresh my memory to do my TGV deletes in my 19 STi this week. Killer content man!

[@BeeAboveAverage]

Jeremy Cercone Thanks for the support my guy! People like you keep me going and wanting to do more videos. I’m happy I could be of some help :)

[@jaredgines3412]

Beautiful build I love it 😻

[@BeeAboveAverage]

Thank you!! 😊

[@georgeperez1868]

I was watching your video here on how to remove the intake manifold so I could upgrade to the cobb 20g

[@TheE3R]

I hate this removal, struggling with the 2 bolts of the bottom driver side, i think i needbone more bolt to remove the fuel rail bracket on driver side as well, major pain in the ass

[@TheSuaveBOSS]

Love these videos man. Thanks for being super in-depth about these installations, they’re extremely helpful! This is probably a no brainer, but you’re probably run E85 with all these parts that you’ve installed so far huh. Do you think you’ll be getting e-tuned or pro-tuned with all these parts?

[@BeeAboveAverage]

TheSuaveBOSS I got pro-tuned already. And I will do flex fuel later down the line. I’m supper bummed out about my protune day because I don’t have any of the footage I took 😭

[@BeeAboveAverage]

TheSuaveBOSS Also I’m glad your enjoying the videos 😁

[@derrickgarcia303]

Damn man. A lot of work

[@BeeAboveAverage]

It really is but if you take it slow and in steps anybody can get it done :)

[@derrickgarcia303]

Can you leave the harness? I’ll be doing TGV Delete and fuel and injectors upgrade?

[@mraarontorres]

Awesome vid , I'm going with a very similar setup on my bugeye WRX.. I'm trying to find this similar setup on the older 2.0 models but I'm not finding any videos besides the new Subarus I might make a video I literally have all of these parts you have just different brands and a whole lot more.. but everybody seems to be interested in the new models not outdated 2.0 models I guess

[@BeeAboveAverage]

Aaron Torres Make some videos man! There is probably more people that own your car than there is that own mine. Those are the people that would love your videos. If you’r in the position where you can’t find videos to help you for your car I’m sure there is other people in the same boat that you could be the one to help them 🤙🏼

[@GolfCoyote]

This looks like a nightmare. Debating if I want to tackle this myself

[@BeeAboveAverage]

Ask a friend to help out and make it something fun 👍🏼 It’s not hard if you take your time. After all of this you will gain some more knowledge on this car and save a lot of money in the process 😁

[@miriamvivo4279]

Lots of steps about 50

[@PokemonMaster_556]

why is there so many youtubers that live in Washington with STI? I just got one recently and have noticed this funny fact!

[@BeeAboveAverage]

The PNW has a lot of Subarus 😆

[@cslammon]

Did you have to remove the tgv motor on the drivers side too? To get that metal cover off?

[@ramiro3514]

Hi man, with cobb fuel lines,did the hesitation between 2500-3300 rpm fix?

[@BeeAboveAverage]

I just did my pro tune. I’ll make a video about what it made on the dyno. I had an issue on my computer and lost random clips here and there from my install and some of the clips were from my dyno day. So I won’t be able to make a video on that itself but I will make one of showcasing the car and how it sits currently.

[@mraarontorres]

@@BeeAboveAverage awesome well I know I can't compare to your car because I ain't going to get nothing with my crappy 2.0

[@livetoberich]

hey great vid, please also add up the video from the missing section.

[@BrettCrowther]

You made it look too easy! Worst bolt for me was the wire harness bolt next to the drivers side tgv.

[@BeeAboveAverage]

BRETT CROWTHER I try not to make the installs seem scary for people XD I want to show that anyone can do it, just have to take it in steps. And I know what your talking about with that bolt, but that wasn’t the only one that was a pain in the ass 😭

[@jamesj8348]

Hey man what size spacers did you use for tgv deletes?

[@e.r7691]

Do you have the stock block and internals still in the car

[@BeeAboveAverage]

Yes I do 😬

[@ismangarcia]

Hey man, great video. I have a question, when you tuned your car did you have a wide band when you tuned it? Is it necessary?

[@BeeAboveAverage]

I had it pro tuned so It wasn’t required for me. I have yet to get one of those for my car. Typically you would need that if you’re e-tuning :)

[@ismangarcia]

@@BeeAboveAverage thanks man!!! Your knowledge is priceless. I love your vids, keep it going, I learn a lot.

[@BeeAboveAverage]

I appreciate that man! Life been really stress full recently so it’s been hard doing KZbin or trying to stay active on it. But I’m gonna try to get out of this funk soon and get back to it!

[@denvurr]

Do you have the cobb regulator already on this video?

[@BeeAboveAverage]

I had my IA Tuning FPR in already. They are all pretty much the same thing so Cobb would work just fine as well :)

[@E85_STI]

Zipties to remove the fuel lines.

[@BeeAboveAverage]

It’s a really nice trick if you don’t have the tool for it 😁

[@E85_STI]

Why doe the intake have to come out completely for a tgv delete?

[@BeeAboveAverage]

It doesn’t “have” to come out. It’s so easy to take it out so I do it to give myself extra room, also I like to remove it to prevent damage. Can’t tell you how many times people lean on the filters and bend them up.

[@E85_STI]

@@BeeAboveAverage makes sense for the coolant over flow tank once it goes back on did you have to bleed the system or just fill it as its an overflow?

[@BeeAboveAverage]

E85STI If you lost some coolant, just fill it back up to where it should be and than run the car with the cap off to bleed the air out of it and you should be good. I actually did a whole coolant flush on my car because it was another maintenance thing I wanted to take care of while I was at it.

[@tanjirokibutsuji2740]

Hey, you from Washington? How much would you charge to help me do exactly what you got except fmic

[@BeeAboveAverage]

Dm me on Instagram if you can. @be_above_average

[@tanjirokibutsuji2740]

Do you got Facebook?

[@jkljkl218]

The internal wastegate bracket is annoying to shove into the damn turbo. Ya gotta hammer it in to keep the internal wastegate from flappin lol. At least for me.

[@BeeAboveAverage]

It seemed to go pretty smoothly for me. What car did you do it on?

[@jkljkl218]

@@BeeAboveAverage 19' sti with the stock vf48. My internal wastegate annoyingly rattled hahaha, but nownits shut and am makin 320 awhp

[@TheE3R]

How much it cost to power coat the intercooler pipes?

[@BeeAboveAverage]

I believe I paid roughly $150 or so and I provided the powder.

[@TheE3R]

@@BeeAboveAverage looking forward on doing this on mine, great install btw, im on stage 2 at this time, but I got my new parts...(ETS FMIC, CSF Racing Radiator, Killer B Holy Header, AEM Fuel Pump,Grimmspeed Up Pipe, 38mm Tial, Tial Bov, IWG bracket, Speed Density kit, Grimmspeed 3 port EBCS, Perrin turbo inlet same one you have, IAG TGV) the rest I'll leave it to my tuner, injectors, e85 kit. Still debating whether doing turbo inlet and removing the intake manifold, your video is helping me out and ill probably will go for it.

[@TheE3R]

Right now im almost done with the removal, just struggling a bit with the bottom bolt.

[@BluPrynt78]

29 min vid but how long did it actually take? 👀 Asking for a friend. 😉

[@BeeAboveAverage]

From “Part 1” to “Installing my ETS fmic” video it was a nonstop 3 days of work that I had to do. Started Friday morning, worked all day, ran into issues here and there that slowed me down. Worked all day Saturday. Started up again Sunday morning and worked up intell 6 am Monday morning where I finally finished and drive down to English at 8am for the tune. It was wild

[@BeeAboveAverage]

If I didn’t run into issues with missing pieces and needing to wait for stores to open up or needing to spontaneously buy a Header for the car I believe this can be done within 2 days

[@BluPrynt78]

Be Above Average Sweet. Thanks for the response. Due to this virus I have 2 weeks to get this whole setup done. 🤞🏽 I’m gonna need you on standby just in case 😉

[@BeeAboveAverage]

I’ll be here :)

[@BeeAboveAverage]

Follow me on Instagram @be_above_average if you have any questions. KZbin is really bad at notifying me about new comments

Where you located bro?

[@derrickgarcia303]

Cool. I’m in Issaquah looking for someone to help me to take the intake manifold out so I can perform Air pump delete. I got the code deleted but one of my solenoid I think stuck open. Would that cause an issue if I leave them in the car for now?

[@miriamvivo4279]

Big pita just to repaint .

Gonna leave in place not worth repainting
