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.

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.

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

@@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.

It's ridiculous to say that one side of the exhaust feels different than the other. The turbo feeds a single exhaust pipe which then Y's into two mufflers. Both sides are fed by the same pipe

@@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.

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

Scotty, I love your videos. I am a subie enthusiast on his 4th WRX, 2nd FA20DIT platform. this car obviously has been modded. The first thing I would do is get an access port and check the map loaded on the ecu. I could tell that there was an aftermarket BPV and intake on the vehicle. The BPV is what is making that charge relief noise when you let off the accel. These vehicles are very sensitive to changes in engine dynamics. I would get this thing either in front of a tuner or restore to stock completely. Otherwise.... this car won't last long.
@6lemans103 жыл бұрын
Subaru are junk. CVT and head gaskets are the Achilles heal for the non WRX and STI Subarus. As for the WRX and STI, ringland and bearing failures, high oils consumption are just SOME of the reliability problems. Plus, the EJ25 engine is VERY SENSITIVE to mods. Doing a Cobb Access Port Stage One tune, intake and exhaust mods will destroy the engine over time. I live with a neighbor with a 1999 Subaru Legacy, and worked with a guy who got rid of his 2010 Subaru WRX.
@Codreanu1103 жыл бұрын
Awww American car guys are so cute. The noise @6:49 isn’t metal rattling, it’s turbo chatter/turbo flutter. It’s boosted air going back through the compressor wheel on the turbo as the throttle slams shut. OR it could just be the Blow off valve characteristics being an atmospheric valve. Basically dumping boosted air to the atmosphere. Usually a result of how the turbo is setup. If it has a recirculating “blow off valve” then you shouldn’t hear that noise. If the recirc valve is not working correctly you might get that noise. Older turbo car owners deliberately remove this blow off valve because it improves turbo response (even though the valve is supposed to improve turbo response).

The cobb access port you see when he first gets in explains everything. The car was either produced or used a cobb off the shelf tune to account for aftermarket performance parts. I guarantee in the rebuild alot of that stuff was either A. Removed B. Left in place but the ecu was replaced or replaced. Either way, subarus are VEEERRY sensitive. You can't even put on a aftermarket intake with out damaging something if it's not properly tuned.

@79johnJ3 жыл бұрын
first thing you do with a used car, if its not running as it should, you check if there was some tuning - in this case there is a cobb device connected to the OBD2.. so the car does not run on the stock map anymore... is maybe mapped for 93 or 91 octane fuel ;) if you drive on lesser octane fuel, the lambda probe gets crazy, and starts to mess with the injection... that could be the reason for the misfiring and strange revving... use the cobb device to go back to stock map, then check for other problems

I was wondering when someone was gonna say it. Lol I scrolled down so far and I just kept thinking damn do any of yall actually own a Subaru from that year to now cause my 2020 has been like that since I drove it off the lot. I'm no expert but me and a friend were looking into it and I think it has to do with the fact the cars have direct injection into the turbo. Like I said though I'm no expert so I could be wrong.
@jessel12173 жыл бұрын
@@alexandercorado6893 - you’d be correct. It’s due to direct injection. The injectors spray directly into the combustion chamber bypassing the intake/exhaust valves. Meaning they don’t get sprayed with fuel, which is a natural cleaning solvent. In fuel injection engines, you have the injectors spraying fuel directly over the valves, and *then* the fuel goes into the combustion chamber. Hope this helps.

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.

Some insurance companies need to physically inspect the car before deciding whether or not to allow full coverage, some don’t offer it at all, some do offer it, and some offer it but at a higher price than normal. It’s all over the place really. I’d say it depends on the damage. If you can find an honest dealer that shows you photos of the damage and invoices of repairs and doesn’t seem like they’re trying to lie or hide stuff then it’s probably a fine car. Also would be handy to bring a scanner and try that, and of course test drive it.

that noise you’re hearing isn’t something that’s broken, it’s modified parts. the car isn’t running rich, it probably has a catless downpipe. popping the hood you can see it has an intake (and i believe i saw an air oil separator), listening you can hear it’s got a bpv. looking at the interior of the car you can see an accessport. this device is used to calibrate the car’s ecu after installing aftermarket parts. mine makes the same sound because i’ve got a mishimoto intake, a boomba bpv, and a plm silicone turbo inlet.

I photo documented every car when I got it and during the repair process to show a interested buyier what damage the car had. I usualy tried to buy cars with rear end damage. I bought a few that looked like there was no air bad deployment as that can get spendy to fix. I would get a car that had the air bag light on but no deployment of the bags. I fouind out about the pre-tensioners in seat belts that would deploy to pull the seat belt tighter to the passenger...you could not tell by looking at it that it had been activated.
