40 horse lol he must be smoking

But they limit horsepower. If u instal equal length u get easily 20hp more ,but lose specific rumble.

@@malboro555 that's interesting I didn't know that.

Had to turn off when he said that. Hate when people chat shit on big name shows

@@malboro555 20hp is a lot bud. Maybe if he also removed the mufflers and tuned it properly. Headers only have me 12hp at the wheels without a tune and mine is a 5L Supercharged V8. Muffler Delete would pose more of a restriction on this car?? TBH I didn't watch the whole video because the guys an idiot and there's so many erroraneous statements in it

@@darieldesvignes942 Check Killer B Motorsport , they make a good stuff for Subaru.

dead ass

Why tho

@@canneddinners6059 cuz thats not an 01. its a 04-05, two redesigns after the 01. credibility is out the window if you cant even correctly tell people what care it is

If you closed it straight away, how’d you write this comment 🧐

@@hawkwardwrx In japan and europe the blobeye was sold from 01-03

FMIC increases lag too

langra man until you map it

the hot air intake hurt me inside

@@Birmingham_racing map can't fix loss of pressure lol

His beard lol

Nah man, this is probs the only true fact of the video. I didn't watch the whole thing because the guy is a stupid uneducated idiot. However intake temps do make a massive difference to forced induction cars. (If they have been dyno tuned properly) For your info, look up "Forced Induction Interchillers" I've got one on my car and it makes 70hp difference with it on and off. Mine is a supercharged 5L V8 though.

blocking the radiator is good too

Absolutely can make more than 4hp - with a tune to take advantage of three intercooler you could easily be looking at 30 to 40. The lag increase isn't really that noticeable to he honest but yeah, there are absolutely better options than going straight to a front mount.

@@jazzmangocats lag can be fixed by rotating intake - way shorter tubes. And yes, definitely a tune to accommodate everything. Big no no on that filter. Just drop a K&N in the stock airbox and you're better off. Safe travels, everyone!

According to the DVLA this is an 03 car. I also had an 03 Blobeye, FX03 XVU

This is definitely not an 01 anywhere in the world. 01 would be a bugeye, except for in the US where it'd still be the GC body style, and not turbocharged.

Pretty sure its a private plate, which can be older than the age of the car.

Lose the mud flaps I hate mudflaps on evos and scoobies IMO it looks toilet

hell presidenti he said it's an 01 impreza

Ive fitted 100s off fmic and never had an engine blow without a map infact it reduces boost pressure through larger diameter pipes and bigger cooler

The ecu will self adjust and will remain fully safe. Yes a map tweak would help figures, but there's no danger to not.

I'm talking about that hot air filter. Subaru's need a tune when a filter is installed.

Bettter question y do u care

The picture is clearly a five gear speed transmission with no reverse on it

I watched this two days ago and I've only just recovered So much nonsense in this!

Americans did it worst

those do not add any more power, not without a tune at least

I bet it lost power without a tune, in fact I garuntee it, plus the stock intercooler is good for much more power then stock, and going to a cone filter isn't going to do much, now it's just sucking in hot air, total clowns

@@dallasmellsop5488 yep if they had done a larger top mount intercooler it would have seen gains, and if they had just purchased a true CAI they would have seen some more gains. I purchased an aem intake and I believe the crank hp gain was +40 with a tune.

yeah agreed.. there's a reason the IC on the Ej is mounted there, but people insist on listening to these muppets rather than the people who designed and built it

@@dagnut tuners and garages just make money from the bs. plus the fmic has covered half the radiator up now lol

Or WRX

Ill ask this here cause it kinda fits my question. I preferably want to buy a 4WD as a first car but I've really no clue, if a WRX or STI would go well fresh out the gate. The non turbos seem logical, although I want to be like a project aka look the part but until the insurance eases, then go for performance. Practically, I think buy that point it'll be cheaper or less effort just to buy WRX at that point.

it needed nothing doing to it

@@langraman8756 you should make a new maping because when you are changing the airfilter and and the filterbox the map sensor is not working correct on low rpm .

a catback is fine without a map, had one on my stock impreza for probably over 15 years

Do I need a tune on this car if I get a CAi?

It does not 😂 Engineering explained has made a video on it👌🏼🙈

no need to explain half the radiator covered up too

They had engine rebuilds because they didn’t last forever lol

No haha I wish. Can't even get a nice WRX for that

@@tomcliffe4572 any idea what model from 97 to 2005 is the LEAST popular STi and WRX? the more likely to be a lower price from a B grade one

Only if you moved the jets aswell . The sti comes with a IC water jet as standard

Ok, thanks for the reply😄

😂😂👌

This is fine, but going above 800hp will kill the car straight up

@@hybridAbsol no it's not an increase in power, this guy means that the mods they did were shit, cos they were, an intercooler with no tune won't add power, pair that with a filter that now sucks in lost air, it drives worse and probaly LOST power. Plus, the stock intercooler is good for much more power, this really was an embarrassing video, espically when it blows up because it's a subaru with no tune

Yes you would, this guys a clod.

Thats the right way of saying it, like pizza

Unfortunately you don't know as much as you think you do. turbocharger can be intake side or (as per most vehicles) exhaust side of the engine. It is often on the exhaust manifold.

@@tracktimevideos5164 Your attempted rebuttal makes little sense. My comment included the quoted phrase about the function of the intercooler where it was incorrectly stated that the intercooler is for, "...cooling the air ENTERING the turbo...". This is in reference to a system point of view, i.e. where the air flows. It has absolutely nothing to do with the physical mounting point of the turbos themselves. Compressing air in the turbo increases the temperature, followed by an intercooler for the air EXITING the turbo. Nobody installs an intercooler before the turbo as that would make no sense. Can you now see that your comment is completely off the mark? Please focus your attention on the quoted phrase that can be found in the video at the time stamp that I also referenced. I'm pointing to an error where the narrator misspoke. Your rebuttal to my comment is incorrect. "Unfortunately you don't know as much about the English language as you think you do...", LOL.

@@tracktimevideos5164 Of course it's on the exhaust manifold! The exhaust gasses spools up the turbo, which in turn forces compressed air into the engine. And compressed air gets hot! Hence the intercooler, cooling the compressed and hot air before it enters the intake manifold.

@@tracktimevideos5164 That is so wrong lol wtf

Correct, but also wrong. Black coating don't dissipate the heat as such. It absorbs the heat, in theory it absorbs heat from the intercooler core. But in reality? Nah.

From 03 matey

private plate me thinks

Bet that pulls like fuck,,,,,,timing that is

Your evo 9 couldn’t beat a 1 litre automatic polo from 1997 though could it

Nah dude 40bhp I swear. Has 500bhp now

With a heat shield it helps

No it doesn't. You don't need an uprated fuel system for an intercooler lol And yes a cone filter may slightly reduce bhp on an unmodified engine in a rolling road due to heat soak, but that doesn't apply to a car moving through the air.

sirjakethebrit What I’m saying is that a FMI on its own will produce little extra power in this car. Real gains are predominantly made from increased boost which should be done correctly with a remap. Most tuners would also recommend an up rated fuel pump and bigger injectors for modest boost increases especially on a regular WRX (which this seems to be).

If you want to increase e little bit, is better to keep top mounted a bigger intercooler. You'll keep the air way short and get lower temps. if you want a racing car, i agree to put it at the front...but its not the case here

this is true, not many people know that with UEL you actually have more torque than EL headers

Not true, turbo is spun by exhaust gasses not intake gasses, he hasn’t changed the length of pipe from engine to turbo
