How to Remove a TMIC on Subaru EJ-Series Engines

[@harrisonmorin616]

Very informative and you always have a good camera angle.

[@benkeller5403]

this was so helpful ive watched a bunch of tutorials and this was the best one

[@SubaruONLY]

Perfect. 👌

[@williamblakeloggins]

I don't know what I'd do without you. Currently tackling take the motor out of my 2007 STi for headgaskets! PS you can make all those fins look perfect if you use some tweezers to grab them individually, and pull straight out. Long process but makes it like new.

[@SubaruONLY]

Hell yea, good call on the tweezers! Thanks!

[@rev-you1975]

Excellent video. Really clear. Great work. Just what I needed. I need to gain access to the gearbox speed sensor. So this has helped a lot. Thanks for sharing.

[@SilverJigProductions]

Great video man, never removed my TMIC before and this was a great overview! Thanks!

[@SubaruONLY]

Stoked it helped. Cheers man! 👊

[@Vodafone16v]

Perfect explanations! Looking forward on learning how to remove the whole engine. Thanks!

[@SubaruONLY]

Awesome thanks.

[@ethanlau279]

Quality stuff. Keep the build going!

[@SubaruONLY]

Thanks!!! Working on the next one every night!!! 😁😁😁

[@cappierising1774]

awesome video. POV removal and easy & detailed explanation

[@siriansight]

thanks mate followed these steps lastnight and got it off and on -- getting the y-pipe back on the turbo was a nightmare if i'm honest haha

[@SubaruONLY]

True. I need to show some tricks for that step!!!

[@jomangeee]

Great TIP Love the video

[@SubaruONLY]

Thanks. Many more to come! 😁😁

[@3obardThawn3]

Thanks for the video. You just got a new subscriber

[@itzJobear]

Great explanation of every step. I love it. I build more confident in my ability to do my own swap one day with my gc8. Keep it up!

[@SubaruONLY]

Thanks man. Stoked to hear!

[@andrewdoyle6518]

Helped me out big time 🙏

[@DaBlueMonster]

YEEEESSSS! MORE MORE MOREEEE!! : )

[@SubaruONLY]

You know it. Life and breath this stuff - it’s never ending journey man! And it only gets more interesting every year... 👊

[@espnocho7904]

Great video I want to ask you if I would be ok driving without AC belt on my 2010 Forester sohc

[@SubaruONLY]

Yes. Totally fine. If that AC compressor is making noise or failing - this is definitely a good option if you want to postpone fixing it, or of you just don’t need the AC anymore. Cheers buddy! Thanks for checking out the videos!

[@espnocho7904]

SubaruONLY cool that's what's up. actually is working nothing wrong with it. I just took the crank Pulley and timing cover off just for a Inspection had to cut the AC belt off thank you very much

[@SubaruONLY]

Np buddy. Cheers! 🤙

[@Kawoski]

these are great!

[@vocesdelacalle449]

will removing intercooler to maintenance the starter affect my cars tune setup?

[@DennisRundle-d4d]

Yea Luke your show is way cool ,,.....

[@garretthouck5670]

I cannot believe I didn’t try taking the IC off with the Y pipe, don’t even mess with the screws in the back!

[@SubaruONLY]

Totally. So much easier. Glad it helped.

[@MOONARCH420]

My tmic is stuck at the turbo inlet. Played with it for hours yesterday only got it to budge a little but it won't slide off..

[@SubaruONLY]

Spray a little WD-40 around the seal. Should help.

[@853rudedogs2]

Pro love your work

[@SubaruONLY]

Appreciate it!

[@superskyrimjob]

Can i do this while all the fluids are still in the car?

[@Mqxwell]

I know this video is old but I have a question! Despite getting both bolts out of BOV it is completely stuck. Any advice to what I should do?

[@tomc8829]

Maybe try whacking it a bit with a rubber mallet.

[@Mqxwell]

@@tomc8829 I definitely tried that. Actually ended up selling the car later!

[@yuchenliu6939]

It's me again with GC8 v5 sti. It has another problem which is cruise surge. when pressing the gas pedal gently for slight acceleration, the car will not bring more power, but RPM still rising steadily. After pressing the gas pedal more, it will "kick" you and accelerating hard. Feels like it can only hard accelerate and boost up but not cruise. I have changed to OEM AFM and OEM super coolant, no big intake leak, and idle boost pressure -17psi. Engine running fine with no vibration or misfire. Could be a fuel pump or fuel regulator?

[@yuchenliu6939]

And also tried ECU reset, plug green to green, and black to the black connector and drive for 1 minute above 11km/h.

[@SubaruONLY]

Sounds like may be a good idea to take it to a tuner. Might have a larger turbo or other aftermarket parts.

[@yuchenliu6939]

@@SubaruONLY Accutually a smaller turbo, the factory was VF28 but TD04 now. Thanks for your help and ill get it to the tuner for inspection.

[@SubaruONLY]

Ok, good luck. Hope it gets figured out! Cheers!!!

[@yuchenliu6939]

@@SubaruONLY Thanks again and problem solved, after I soaked the O2 sensor into gasoline overnight and reinstall it, it's running perfectly now.

[@MikeCars911]

Top man

[@gumbygrom8436]

What's the two pipes on the front called

[@SubaruONLY]

That’s the PVC system crossover pipe - pulls those oily vapors from the valve covers and injects in the turbo inlet side of intake. This is also where you want to tap into the system and add a high quality air/oil separator! 👍

[@las3k91]

This oil in TMIC is from PCV or turbo? How much oil is too much?

[@SubaruONLY]

Most often from the PVC system. If it totally coated and some liquid oil is pooling up in the manifold low points, def too much oil. 👍

[@las3k91]

@@SubaruONLY thank you for the answer!

[@SubaruONLY]

[@CarStory]

Can someone suggest an intercooler upgrade for my 2019 STI?
