Subaru Off-Road Transformation!

[@jrodv2]

Coop, I have a turbo kit for an ej22 thats been sitting it my garage for a few years. Single port exhaust manifold, otherwise should be similar. Its yours if you pay for shipping and slap it on there.

[@WHDRWN]

oh cheers bro so yeah i'm coop where do I send the address?

Definitely do this

[@coreyeubanks7866]

Coop, check out the Gambler 500! You built a Gambler and didn't even know it

[@johnson3.7]

The whole idea behind the 500 is to spend 500 dollars on a car. Not 2500 dollars

[@Jcprevat]

@@johnson3.7 I thought the whole idea was to spend 500 miles offroad to have fun and clean up the trails. I honestly didn't know their was a cost limit.

[@johnson3.7]

No it’s not 500 miles that I’m aware of. Any one I’ve seen isnt 500 miles. It’s a 500 dollar beater that you take on a trip.

[@Jcprevat]

@@johnson3.7 I wish they did something like that in my area. That would be BA.

[@mikescherrer4923]

@@johnson3.7 there’s plenty of expensive gambler cars. This Subaru isn’t worth 500$, so if he showed up and said he paid 2500$ they’d probably just tell him he got jacked and put him at the front of the pack. It’s not like it’s gonna win, or even finish... it’s a Subaru.

[@--_DJ_--]

You are one odd duck. Will pull 1 1/2 engines out solo in the Florida sun, but won't take the time to buy 3 freakin nuts from any number of stores that would have them on the shelf.

[@kevinwalsh4]

Injectors are likely clogged if that engine has been sitting. Give them a cleaning and see what happens

[@NoWr2Run]

He didn't even check the spark plugs & you think he'll clean the injectors, LMFAO. Plus it probably has BAD GAS IN IT from sitting so long.

[@seanroy3241]

The rear wheels move forward as you lift, so you need either adjustable trailing arms or to space out the trailing arm body mounts. This things gonna be great

[@brianhilligoss]

For the rear you need trailing arm spacers. Adf or primitive racing have them.

[@tank_gaming_offical317]

Coop saying he’s doesn’t know why he built it is basically all of my projects

[@EASTSIDERIDER707]

It’s in his nature to build and improve.

[@35057]

I’ll find a use for it after I build it 😅

[@SMAAirAssault]

Too relatable...

[@paullutherborrow637]

With the exhaust leak you’ve got bad O2 readings also

[@johnlane5344]

After fixing the leak & cleaning injectors, do an idle relearn also. My buddies forestor always idles poorly after pulling the power until he does an idle relearn. From what I remember kill power to computer, wait a minute, power up computer. Start car and let it idle until fans come on (15 minutes) without touching the throttle. Turn off and restart.

[@Ranlocks]

I drove a 2000 Outback 4 cyl for 18 years. I never once came close to being stuck even in the worse of Canadian winters. The awd system is simply amazing.

[@Skwisgar2322]

Wait...you didn't change the plugs...why would you not do that, there is literally no better time to do it.

[@realjumper]

He takes lazy to a whole new level doesn't he? He'll never succeed with that attitude....

[@clitzcustom66420]

Gotta get that spacer for the lateral link mount. It will center the rear tire back up in the wheel well

[@SPProduction02]

If you're telling yourself "I don't know why I built this", it ends up being the best build you can possibly have

[@anthonyestevez118]

Offroad Subarus are the best! Thanks for sharing!

[@Stancil1216]

Those tires are awesome. I've got a set of those in 35x12.5's on my ram and I can go just about anywhere. After you leave the mud or ect, they'll fling crap out of the tires for like a mile or so lol.

[@Rahrahsisboombob]

I fully love you. I had a 98 outback with a home made 2.5 inch lift and 27.5” tires that I beat the heck out of. I miss it

[@mateofleet3390]

We can't wait to see you bogging deep with that snorkel kit. Your awsome keep it up guys

[@Twenty_Six_Hundred]

Coop you have a welder sitting there, buy some 2.5 inch round tube and start fitting an exhaust

[@cscrossman]

Anderson Design Fabrication can sort your rear wheel clearance problem. All you need is a trailing arm spacers set.

[@spshultzy]

Had a '99 Impreza 2.5RS and loved that thing. Put Borla unequal length headers on it and a Stromung catback exhaust and thought it sounded great. Gave it a deep rumble. With decent snow tires that thing never got stuck once, ever, in any snow storm. That awd system was awesome.

[@jonathanviera3466]

Woah coop use hub centric spacers, those shims are not safe

[@EASTSIDERIDER707]

Regarding exhaust studs; I’d chase threads and anti- seize everything for future convenience.

[@joeanderson444]

Is this the Subaru from the $1500 Beater Battle that Cleetus setup???

[@dreednlb]

The channel needed this kind of build. Idea for next video title "I took the Subaru to the Freedom Factory and tore up the grass. Owner was irate."

[@Thedude897]

This was a build we all recommended. Something simple and affordable for him.

[@liam.da.ghostboy]

Or "Tortoise in a Subaru tears up Florida Giraffes grass."

[@danielt5106]

LoL xD

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

This vision in your mind...did it happen to be after dropping several hits of acid by chance?

[@scottgshomewrenching1352]

Time for a little tune up, plugs wires and maybe even injector cleaning someone else suggested. Get a cheap OBD II scanner and check the codes, one of the cylinders is misfiring. That would be a great winter beater here in MI

[@TechTokOffical]

Back to back championships is something that happened so much in my life I forget what an amazing feeling it is(esp with a Stanley cup),but u know I gotta bash it being 2 SHORTENED NHL season but it is the 1 sport it really does make a difference. 2 separate NON COVID back 2 back seasons is literally devoting 2 years of ur life performing at a championship level where 2 covid seasons had a pretty heafty break. But congrats and live it up,ull be amazed how quick those guys get old

[@zstrode.8953]

Tip: atf fluid works really dam good really rusted stuff put them in a little container and let them sit over night and use a wire wheel to clean the threads first. I usually always get them off like that!!

[@Jake_1988]

Definitely needs trailing arm spacers, check Anderson fab

[@sjv6598]

When you taking the Camaro back to the track?

[@punx4life24]

Screw the haters. Love the outback before the lift. Keep the Subaru contact coming.

[@Smalltownthrifts]

You need trailing arm spacers to fix your rear wheel alignment, as well as 03-08 Forester Rear struts bolt right on and have a taller rear spring perch. will give you more rear tire clearance

[@SirVic42]

See if if can complete the Freedom Factory off-road course.

[@bepbep7418]

This. Cleet needs an AMC Eagle! 🤣

[@jdias51]

Except that coop never leaves his garage....what event has he ever been to done recently?

[@GW71093]

Need some trailing arm bracket spacers to fix that wacky wheel gap in the rear

[@lonnyself3920]

day hauler for your side by side, nice Baha rack and a push bar and fog lights your done, and they are notorious for mass air sensor going bad.

[@REDBIRD-95]

The Subaru sounds like Tickerbell: Jeremy's Yale Forklift😜

[@alreed2434]

Fix the exhaust leaks so the o2 reading is accurate. Replace plugs and wires sounds like a plug may have a carbon trace or have opened up completely. Vacuum hoses as well may need replacing very likely.

[@gratefulhikes]

Super jealous. I can’t wait to lift my 03 LL Bean wagon. Well done sir! Good luck with the tune up!

[@No1cares85]

those things will go anywhere!

[@peppermintnightmare4741]

Not to be disrespectful, but are We still just talking about cars on this channel? Where's the racing?

[@jerrycisneros4150]

Channel needs better content...

[@ghhjklnhuo]

You have a vacuum leak causing it to idle high and the idle air control valve is trying to idle it down That's why it keeps going up and down

[@CooperBogetti]

I couldn't find a vacuum leak even with brake clean

[@ghhjklnhuo]

Going to have to find somebody to smoke machine and check your EGR system / vacuum. It's got to be leaking somewhere there or your EGR valves going

[@MrGene3497]

I love the channel, the Camaro is so fast, and you are more comfortable in front of the camera, keep it up

[@cracka-tinnitribe9543]

Run a wire from the te1 to e1 diagnostic plug and when u turn ignition to on the check engine light will flash on n off in intervals and get any fault codes

[@jamesplotkin4674]

The entire car is a fault code ;-) Damn, I'm sorry. Probably shouldn't have said it, but it's out there now...

[@vermili0n]

I hope you kept building onto it, I love my 99 outback and plan to do some stuff like this to it.

[@mgharvey3657]

Keep at it man. That subu could turn into a fun build!

[@Hoax711]

Those LingLong tires are actually really good tires, especially for the price.

[@RlEL444]

Your wheel in the back is not centered because need trailing arm spacers for your lift. There are also 3 different heights of factory trailing arm brackets as well. Legacy, outback, and forester. You need to either try forester brackets or get spacers or both. Keep in mind you'll go through cv boots more often when you lift without spacing the subframes but you get more ground clearance. Also that is DEFINITELY a dead misfire. That car doesn't have the unequal length header so it should sound like a Honda lol

[@edwardcornell1263]

The idle up and down, most likly is idle air control valve aka, iacs valve.

I like the Subaru project! I'd like to see how it runs after you replace the plugs, clean the injectors, and fix those leaks in the headers. I've had a couple of AWD Subarus I bought as winter beaters and put on four snow tires and they were almost as fun as any nice car I've had in the dry.

The vacuum line will probably throw an EVAP code, but I’ve heard Florida is lenient with their emission testing. You might want to check the firing order, spark plugs, plug wires, and the resistor ends, also the compression. It does sound like a dead skip which means it’s not firing at all.
