I've scraped a few that have had front end collisions. The damage that I typically find is to the exhaust and the intake Manifold. The intake is all plastic and always gets cracked in obscure places. Wiring stays mostly un damaged in the engine harness with the exception of spark plug coil connectors and tops. Mass air sensor and air box are a given in all vehicles that don't use a speed density system. It might be worth it to tare the induction system apart and inspect it for damage. I would also put it on a rack and look at the exhaust and see if it's kinked Anywhere in front of the turbo.also take a good look at the upstream o2 sensors.

I bought a salvage 17 Civic Si that's very similar to this WRX. I'm the 3rd owner, the Si was wrecked, totaled, sold at an auction then that guy sold it to me. It's been gussied up a bit but I'd say overall the car is 90%-95% compared to a pristine, non-wrecked version. I don't have engine noise or any warning lights and it drives great. Honestly I say one HUGE advantage is that I can't take it to the dealer. I HATE going to those horrible dealerships so bad, so maddening and soulless and let's be honest, they never really improve your car and they often mess it up and they know how to get more money out of your pocket don't they? When you have a salvage car you're left to your own devices. I can always find a mechanic that charges less than a dealership. I don't have any stupid warranty issues that need to be taken care of. I've got a manual 17 Civic Si that's paid off, liability insurance($60 a month) that I can drive for 5 years with almost no maint issues. So far just oil changes and I've been driving it for over 2 1/2 years. In my case I've been lucky but I'll tell anyone that will listen never have a car payment and only buy Japanese cars.

Hey scotty that noise is the BOV (Blow off valve) for most vehicles they have a recirculation valve for the turbo to help with emissions. Some people replace the recirculation valves with blow off valves. They build boost pressure and once you relieve the throttle the pressure from the turbo system is vented into the atmosphere. Mainly done for noise because I believe there are 0 benefits.. you actually use up more gas this way if I'm not mistaken lol

I see a Cobb accessport “tuning computer”, boomba oil seperator which was the thing that was shaking by the intercooler. The FA20 on these 2015-2020 Subaru wrxs are known to have a oil consumption issue. Once you tune these vehicles the problems start so there goes your issue with it being 15k miles. That was the aftermarket blow off valve going off not metal rattling. Not to mention this car was probably modified and the time of the accident the person who had the car tried to throw everything back to original and the body shop did what they did and now the car is thrown off because the tune that’s on the vehicle is meant for the parts it had before the wreck and now is sending errors to the ECU

The noise sounds like a blow off valve 😁
@jackstrotz5123 3 жыл бұрын
Actually quite the opposite. Sounds like compressor surge where the extra air isnt allowed to flow out through a bypass or blow off valve and then gets sent back into the turbo making the stututu. Not a great idea for that car. Might actually have been what's causing it to run rich.

@@jackstrotz5123 interesting you say that. I have a 2017 wrx 6mt and sense about 72k miles i get this intermittent hesitation and surge right at 2k rpm. Car shutters a bit when its happening, in 80+ weather is can be very bad, clutch doesnt slip plugs and pcv valve all oem new parts. 4 different shops no one can figure it out not even dealership. Never gives a code. Car has allways run just rich as hell. Never been tuned never had bolt ons. I keep getting told its normal. If so when did it never do it before 70k ish miles. Does this sound like anything anyone's familiar with dealing with?

@@mkloudsql3285 I own a 02 wrx myself so I might not be as familiar with the newer generations, however I used to have problems with boost occilation on WOT. I turned out to be a wastgate issue where it would not open or close at the right times. Its the only thing I can think of that's similar. Sounds like yours happens only at 2k for only but a second but the whole car shudders? Interesting.
@jackstrotz5123 3 жыл бұрын
@@mkloudsql3285 one more thing I could think of that might be somewhat related to the car running rich could be a slight - major boost leak. Usually (for me) the car won't throw codes at you if the problem doesn't get picked up by 02 sensors and if it's after the MAF. When I bought mine it didn't have the factory restrictor pill, effectively opening up the wastgate way before the turbine could produce a sufficient amount of boost pressure. The car only made half as much boost as it should've and it never gave me one code. It was only untill I realized the previous owner replaced the vacuum lines that I noticed it was missing. I don't think the 15-17 utilize the restrictor pill the same way. I may be wrong tho. Point is, the car didn't have any way of noticing that it was underboosting so it's possible to have a boost leak that has gone unnoticed.

@@cop2506 Such a fresh product now wasted. It’s saddening. On top of that... It’s a four wheel drive car. Easy to control. Such a beautiful car wasted too quickly. Yes it’s surprising. But surprising in simply that it’s a car u just got and crashed it in under a year. Every car has its own discipline. Yes cars crash all the time but u own a car for not even half a year and boom? That’s a waste of a car that isn’t made simply as a transportation type vehicle. If I was maybe not a massive lover of Subaru I might not be as upset but still disappointed because the car just was born and it didn’t have a long life. But then again I don’t know what exactly happened so I really shouldn’t pressure myself too much. But still it’s just saddening to see a nice car die so quickly

I would say an oxygen sensor or map sensor (less likely) replacement is cheap to see if it solves the fuel trim issue, but my guess is the head gasket is probably the culprit. These are notorious for gaskets, and given that it's now on its 3rd owner and the previous one wrecked it pretty badly, I'd say it wasn't a little old lady driving it nice and easy to church and back...

@VotEtoPizdets 3 жыл бұрын
Scotty, that's not metal rattling. That's the blow off valve/ dump valve. It's called turbo flutter. Looks like it had a cobb tune, would explain the awkward fuel numbers and the cobb access port will have more info about what the tune has done. I finally noticed something that scotty missed. To be honest, hes got a good track record and I was starting to doubt if he would ever miss something in a video.

@bijan4697 3 жыл бұрын
Hi. I think Scotty gave you some incorrect advise here - especially since you have aftermarket parts. If you have a cold air intake do NOT take the tune off. The stock tune cannot compensate for the added air flow. Also, that “rattle” sounds like a BOV somebody added. These FA motors do not like venting to the atmosphere; I would remove it. But if it’s a BPV that’s fine. Your fuel corrections are fine. EJ motors have a +-8 percent variance and FAs are like 15 percent variance. If you had a misfire (which I don’t think you do) the access port would pick up on it. It can run all your engine codes. I think Scotty was really out of his ballpark in this video. My recommendation: take it to a Subaru performance shop and talk to a tuner.

Myint Maung hmm that’s not good. Are you seeing a lot of knock when you boost? Anything over -2.8 is no bueno. I would try using gas from a different station (and the highest octane you have which should be 93) Also I forgot to say. The stock tune starts around .6 and gradually learns its way to 1.0 each time you drive. This won’t really be a “fix” for whatever issue you have, just a bandaid solution. That said, lots of people said the Cobb ots tune isn’t that great. I personally had good results using the MAP ots tune when I was all stock
