Top 5 First Mods for your Subaru WRX or STI

[@johnrodriguez2608]

First mods I did with my Sti was a Killer b oil pickup tube and windage tray. Getadomtune cylinder #4 cooling mod, and an Iag air oil separator.

[@pw85___]

I still have to pick up all 3

[@johnrodriguez2608]

@@pw85___ for sure man. Its a good investment to keep the ej257 going.

[@Craiggg12345]

Same and I also added a Koyo Radiator. My IAG pick up and Killer B tray need to be installed.

[@thetruth4391]

Air and Oil Separator is a must if you're looking for reliability!

[@inam7904]

Cobb will increase the reliability of engine. Lol. :D The best tuning is stock if you want reliability.

[@nicolathonathan770]

Stock tune plus stock wrx=reliable. Stock tune plus mods=money pit. Custom tune plus mods=fun and sorta reliable.

For my 2005 WRX, the first thing I did was get the Accessport, then Cobb intake, Invidia downpipe & exhaust , then XClutch, a necessity when stock one blew. Then Mishimoto radiator, also out of necessity. I hesitate to spend on cosmetics. Yet. Maybe after I feel confident with the mechanics. A person’s top 5 is greatly affected by the age/condition of the car. I really did not know what I was getting into when first purchased the WRX. But I quickly caught the bug of passion & enthusiasm! I worry about that darned car, afraid something catastrophic is going to happen to it! It’s not that I think Subaru is unreliable or anything like that. I am not a mechanic, far from it. But am learning, thanks to other WRX lovers who share their knowledge & enthusiasm. Thank you so much to everyone who is willing to share knowledge. And thanks to Rally Sport Direct who are also very helpful & responsive. They also seem to have some of the lowest shipping costs to the Big Island of Hawaii. Shipping adds a huge expense to doing mods to the car.

If your Subaru does not come with the LEDs, and you drive a lot at night, then I recommend replacing all halogen bulbs with LEDs.

[@makikogi]

Def would recommend cooling mods for a Subaru like upgraded Radiator and 4th cylinder cooling mod for ej25’s (not sure about FA20’s)Than an AOS, access port and finally broadway rear view mirror clip on 😎

[@rallysportdirect]

Dude yes to all of those! I should have grabbed a Broadway mirror for this video too lol. Now I'm kicking myself haha. Thanks, Rick

[@cheekibreeki1270]

I'd put AOS or catch can on the list. Blowby a major problem on any turbo car, especially a subaru with it's pcv system.

[@nicolathonathan770]

First thing before any mods: oil air separator!

[@rallysportdirect]

an AOS will be one of the best mods you ever do

[@chrisnewby5713]

This kid had that Subaru body, my 6’ 1, 220lb frame is a tough squeeze

[@crashedace692]

Just got my 14 wrx! So excited to do some good work to it

[@civilsoldier8764]

I just jot a 06 base Impreza

[@civilsoldier8764]

Turns out, just took it to the mechanic and the frame is bent, $8000 fix

[@zonbiwolfpac]

Just got my WRX 2010

[@christopherbroadhacker6663]

Stage 1+ package, AOS, brakes, exhaust, short throw shifter for sure.

[@Tonyromeo1970]

#1 LOL the first thing you should do is void your warranty AKA Cobb Access port. #wait until 36K miles or 3 yrs when your warranty is over IMO. #2 Exhaust. Agree. #3 Downpipe Agree after warranty has expired. #4 Coilovers. Agree #5 Wheels/tires. Agree.

[@joeyjarrell5101]

or dont be a lil whiney baby and get ur motor built

[@interceptingfist5682]

@@joeyjarrell5101 makes no sense. Buy a brand new STI then go shell out an additional 10k on a built engine?

[@2superblus]

Wheels, tires, Suspension, Exhaust and then Accessport.

[@stirfry2210]

great video!!

[@davconelectric]

Wow, I've been tracking and dailying my sti for the past 16 years with none of these mods. 210k kms and no issues 😐

[@fredastaire6156]

Greenspeed for the win! ...wait a minute...why isn't my flexfuel system working?

[@ararson4710]

First mod should be cooling mod for cylinder 4, then oil pick up, and aos to help with the engine life. Not those. I understand is for the purpose of the business. But you should give good advice. Engine life first before all of those.

[@ArmandoMartinez-tm5cd]

What’s up with the crosstrek?

[@pirihern9329]

Sti no mas for 2023

[@ceetee69]

Do you recommend the access port even if the sti is an almost stock car? the after market parts installed as of now on my car is a invidia q300 catback exhaust.

[@rallysportdirect]

Yes, 100%. well, with one caveat. If you have 0 plans to go further(ie stage 2 etc.) then I would still recommend it, but the benefits it gives you is harder to justify for the price. I still think it's worth it, but you can do quite a bit of fun stuff to the car for the same amount of money. But if eventually you do think you'll want more power, then it's a no-brainer and should certainly be one of your next mods :) Thanks, Rick

[@ceetee69]

@@rallysportdirect is it recommended to play with the ots maps installed on the access port?

[@Nofadof]

@RallySport Direct should i add an Cobb Intake system ?

[@interceptingfist5682]

Mod and pray it never has any issues. Warranty out the window

[@juanjoy5022]

If I get an access port will it void my warranty

[@rallysportdirect]

It wont "void" your warranty, however the dealership can deny you warranty work based off mods you have on your car. It will vary from dealership to dealership and even person to person. It would be best to speak with your local dealership to get an idea of what mods they are friendly towards. But do note that even on a 100% bone stock car, they can deny you warranty work if they suspect abuse, neglect etc.. so warranty stuff is always super subjective. Hope this helps. Thanks! Rick

[@Quadriple.]

Doesn’t this guy kinda sound like that guy from Fitment Industries? lol

[@keithprinn6900]

Access port makes zero benefits for anything not engine related. Play back what you said and see how you implied that it affects everything lol Those springs in the coilovers will be rubbish on non smooth roads as far as comfort goes. Too much hype but you do cover a few good options like downpipe wheels and tyres.

[@wrxstivideos7422]

I’m sorry my 2019 sti overboost 4 hours after installing the access port stage one stock car. No modifications whatsoever

[@AndrewB23]

Just plugging it in doesn't do anything sounds like you were playing around with stuff that you don't know about

[@wrxstivideos7422]

Andrew Berndt I did not just installed stage 1 for stock car catback okay. That’s it

[@BBro16]

Wrx sti Videos if yours are over boosting. Go to Cobb website and download the stage 1 low wastegate map. That should fix it for now

[@wrxstivideos7422]

Brian Camacho it done lol first time misfired and overbooost and caboom ring land crack.

[@pw85___]

This sounds like such BS...

[@Chodda]

mudflaps, intake, led lights all around. best things i ever bought

[@johnrodriguez2608]

You forgot the Sti spoiler/wing on the Wrx.

[@bossone1216]

That's right and still saved 10k

[@Chabot1801]

what the f did i just watched. Reliability? keep it stock Exaust, really? Just to be loud? Donwpipe...huh ok I guess Coilovers...Yes Wheels and Tires Sure top 3 at least. To be fair I would swap exaust and downpipe for sway bars and save it for a future stage 1 for better hp and quicker power inputs.

[@logun.watkins]

Lol you should have labeled this Video “What’s the fasted way to void your warranty on your new Subaru”

[@chickenricesteak541]

Access port #1 worst way to blow your engine. Don’t even install this trash tune. Reliability is a joke hahaha. 95% of the people that blown their motor has an access port.

[@noahc4685]

Trust me best way to tune your car is stick it trough a dyno tune every engine is different even in the same car you don’t know how it’s going to react when u map tune it with an access port like cobb that’s how most people blow engines is shitty access port maps trough cobb if u want the best tune get a dyno tune most reliable and more for your engine a dyno will create more power for ur engine as the tune is specially done for ur engine not just a suburu Impreza wrx engine if your year

[@d3mentia538]

#1 sell that subaru and buy and evo 9.

[@noahc4685]

DONT GET AN ACSESS PORT MAP/TUNE you will damage or blow your engine all engines react differently to the map tunes every engine is going to act completely different if you want the safest most reliable most powerful tune get a DYNO TUNE there done specifically for your engine not just a shitty map
