Supertuner WRX Build Breakdown

[@11streetdog]

There are some cool wrx builds on the internet. But in my opinion this is the best. Wrc inspired subies are my absolute favorite. 👌👌

[@Supertuner]

Thanks bro! Means a lot! Hopefully other people start to catch on too 😉

[@koston777]

Clean functional build is always way better than flashy undriveable show ride. Great job!

[@Supertuner]

Thank you for watching! Really happy with it so far 😎

[@matthewnewsome9221]

Thank you!

[@FitzTrippleZ]

seen this thing in person last supertuner meet. Thing is mad sick!

[@Supertuner]

Thanks for coming to the meet bro!

[@KniFz]

This guy is spot on about how he goes about his build. Wicked smart how he maximizes efficiency instead of just giving it mad boost. only thing he needs is rocket antilag kit loo

[@Supertuner]

Yes it does need anti lag! 🙌🏻

[@gabrielttenroc2906]

Imma do my car like this, I love the body kit so much and the car sits so nicely

[@NathanElcoate]

Awesome WRX. Beautiful build and I live the way you explained everything. I have a 2.5 running 340HP in my 04 Club Spec. Similar to yours but still a ways to go. Lovely to see a really nice functional build.

[@jamesvzfighter]

I love your car, its like something I would build on forza.

[@VOLTAGE886]

My first car was a bugeye and I’ve always wanted to build one and this is the perfect build

[@Supertuner]

Man I would have done anything to have a wrx as my first car lol

[@VOLTAGE886]

Supertuner it was the cheapest rustiest peice but it ran well. 180k original engine turbo and trans when I sold it. Was pretty but it sure was a blast

[@finnwade372]

@@VOLTAGE886this sounds exactly like me lol I got a super rusty 02 wagon and spent the last 3 years painfully replacing basically the entire underside. Just finished that and got new sills welded in this spring and it’s been so worth it. 190k miles on the original engine and runs fantastic

Thanks for watching!

[@kevincanfly]

I like the direction you went with the car. Going to a traditional turbo setup and loosing the recirculating system, the wide body, and maintained the drivability of the car. I love HP but being able to DRIVE a car makes it a joy to drive. I have a ‘02 wagon I’m building, nothing special or worth bragging about but I would like to do the turbo set up you used. I’ll have to check out MAP conversations and see what’s up. Nice build!!!

[@Christosan88]

Have you added a skid plate for aero and protection? I took my U sub frame out today. I noticed the steering was a lil more drifty. stock struts with lowering springs from previous owner. I want to get tein mono sport but ill prob end up with flex z. I don't want it dropped anymore. I want a cusco subframe brace, for the price of an oem u frame cusco seems the way to go. inspiring build you got there. congratulations. That's really cool u got the G motor closed deck.

So good. After you add the cage, you could save weight by losing 10 lbs. I know you can do it Jordan!

[@Supertuner]

Ha ha ha for real 😂😂😂😂😂

[@anthonychen3875]

Love your car! I feel like there are still something you could do, just thoughts :) 1. Since you already have front mount i/t cooler, I think better to resource a impreza rs hood without hood scoop and put hood vent on there for better aero and cooling 2. Maybe put a cockpit vent on the roof? 3. I wonder if there is any WRC front hood lamp mount replica on sale? It will look so good on your car 4. Since you mention you will get full cage in your car, so I think the everything will be tore apart interior, so I think it is better to get rid of the front/rear strut tower brace and welding the cage tube to there to reinforce them and save weight 5. Fully cover your underneath to reduce aero turbulence and make more down force

[@Supertuner]

Hell yeah! All great ideas and some are in the works :))))

You got me! I can’t remember off the top of my head I’ll look next time I drive the WRX. I believe it is only around 18 psi. Pretty conservative.

[@patrickjankowski3476]

@@Supertuner fuck you

[@caseywaweru2203]

What size steering wheel are you running?

[@Supertuner]

Oooo good question without measuring I’m not sure. I picked it up off a local classifieds post years ago...

[@davidjteo]

You said that the over fenders are from eBay - would you be able to give any more specific details?

[@Supertuner]

I’ve had this wide body for about 9 years so I don’t have a link. But if you search for wrx wide body you can still find stuff that looks similar.

[@davidjteo]

Supertuner I appreciate it!

[@CaptainHoldenian]

Yo, your engine layout is basically exactly how I wanna do mine (04 wrx). Though, a low mounted turbo would be pretty cool too. I'd also like to do a carbon roof one day. It's too bad you gotta remove the front and rear windshield when you do it. Did you know the Spec C's came with lighter glass? It apparently flexes when they're cleaned. Cool build overall and the wrap is really good for DIY!

[@Supertuner]

Thanks man! 🙏🏻 and no I didn’t know that about the glass, that’s super interesting.

[@Christosan88]

Oh yea Seibon carbon hood and wing. any plans for Seibon parts?

[@Supertuner]

No plans for any

[@andyreilly7108]

Sick build man all the answers I’ve been searching for! Started to think I’d made a mistake with The ej20g. Are you using mostly usdm ej205 parts?

[@Supertuner]

Thanks for watching! The ej20g block halfs are stout! I am using ej205 head cores. all other parts internally are aftermarket through out the long block.

[@andyreilly7108]

Supertuner the 20g has some big fans and some big haters! I just got a version 1 STI and at first I wasn’t seeing a ton of aftermarket support I guess it just takes a little bit of ingenuity! So you’re running just regular 205 heads? No port/polish? Obviously internals then big turbo in terms of what I should do first but which modification did you see the most gain from? I’ve already got the Link g4 ecu so I’m excited to get into this build. My wallet not so much 😂

[@Supertuner]

Rad that you have the link! Standalone sand good tuning will be key! No pnp just built heads. 272 cams, valves, springs etc. For the most part engine internals are not noticeable mods but slow you to safely make more power with bigger turbo and more fuel.

[@andyreilly7108]

Supertuner yeah that’s what i figured sounds like it’s all about being patient. Did you get the measurements for your intercooler piping by chance? Sorry about the 20 questions haha

[@jessehickle7370]

I know this is a older video but, if you could help. I’m wondering what you did with the coolant tank that sits on top of the intake. And the over flow

[@Supertuner]

I deleted it and rerouted the lines to clean up the engine bay. However I wouldn’t recommend deleting it because it makes it really hard to get all air bubbles out of the coolant system. Thanks for watching 🤘🏻

[@jessehickle7370]

It’s so freaking clean without it, I think it might be worth it.

[@octurbojoe]

If you run into issues with the MAF and need to go home, just unplug it. The ECU will run as "speed density" with the MAP sensor, baro sensor, in relation to RPM. Basically limp mode. But it will still run, just not as efficient.

[@Supertuner]

I have no MAF. Tuned on speed density 🤙🏻

[@octurbojoe]

@@Supertuner Absolutely. Just adding to your comment on the MAF having issues if it fails. Very nice build, btw. Thank you for sharing!

[@scottmaclennan2376]

How have you held the rear windows up when the regulator is removed? Is that a kit you’ve purchased?

[@Supertuner]

No kit. You can remove the motor and the arm but leave the track in place. Get the window into position and then put a metal screw through the track under the rollers that are connected to the glass to hold the window in place

What’s up man! Only the short block halves are from a Japanese sti. So they are closed deck halves with oil squirters. I do not know the version but it should be easy to research and figure out with that info. The rest of the engine is all aftermarket components with usdm 2.0 heads.

You mentioned that you have spacers on I was considering them but I have heard so many negative reviews. What are your thoughts on spacers? Thanks for your advice and time.

[@Supertuner]

I can’t tell you they are safe and be responsible lol... but I think it comes down to using a quality product with proper installation and continued inspection.

There are other things to consider like potential wheel bearing wear over the long term depending on how wide you space.

Did you say you were able to run a cobb accessport on a jdm ej20? Do you get all features of the accessport such as tuning to stage 1 or 2?

[@Supertuner]

I run an access port. It’s just a matter of running the accesspoer that matches your ecu. It’s on a custom tune.

[@onkkke]

hey, what intercooler did you use?

[@ryanbickel1620]

Where did you get this style fmic that mounts up high like that? And if it's not too much to ask how exactly does one go about switching to map from maf?

[@Supertuner]

Thanks for watching! Great questions. I built the intercooler kit so it’s not something you can buy as a kit. To switch to map tuning you need to upgrade your MAP sensor and wire in a IAT sensor and then you need a custom tune to run it.

[@ryanbickel1620]

Awesome thanks for the response man love the build and the channel keep up the good work. One more question though sorry, is the intercooler just like any other fmic youd find you just mounted it up higher?

[@Supertuner]

No problem, The intercooler core it’s self is a universal core that is meant to be used when you fabricate you’re own Kit. So I just built the mounting brackets piping and everything else to make it fit and work. The core is smaller, a full size front mount wouldn’t fit up high.

Ah dude! There are some keys to live by when building a subaru. Right off the bat, your car will not run and will be damaged/blown with those mods if you don’t get an ecu tune ASAP. You don’t want to drive and hit boost until you have a tune.
