hey! I'm wondering if you can help me solve this mystery. at 12:20 there is a nut with a spiked washer which has a wire connected to it just below the sti strut bar. do you know what that is and what it's connected to? i have that same nut but connected on the opposite side but completely frayed and unconnected to anything else on my car and i can't seem to find record of it anywhere. thanks!

Thanks for the video. Just subscribed. Same issue on my 99 forester. Cylinder 4 no compression. Still runs great down the interstate. Lots of lost power starting from stop though. Deciding what to do next... Would like to upgrade power from stock ej25. Do you know of any engine swap upgrades. Probably buy a service manual from your website too. Thanks again.

critical!! having issues on my ej251 and this is giving me a better idea how to tackle it

Would this be the same process for a 2002 Legacy wagon? The setup looks similar enough but other videos had mentioned automatic transmission hoses. Im pretty sure my head gaskets are on their way out being as the car has 177k miles.

What an incredibly useful and well made video. Simple, clear and straight to the point. Thanks!

Love your channel ..thx for all the well explained videos ..I also love my gf wagon ..from KZN south Africa

hey my side feed feel loose in the metal body crimp are they still good

why not cut out the the thin metal bridge in it as well?

Hello bro i'm having code 54 brake light can you help ?

When you bought your jdm ej207 v7 engine it had a Sti 6 speed tranny with it. Why did you stick with the wrx 5 speed? V7 is also 5x100.

Highly detailed and much needed

Hey Luke, good to have you back. I learned so much from your previous videos.

Front wheel drive? Yuck!!!

yes i would leave the screws out = hate 1 to fall into the engine !

some australian channel = flatfour subaru importyers = nice cars !

well done and = SUBARU BLESS YOU ! = many up grades to my SF5 GT Turbo forester ! = thank you !

your website links aren't working anymore! Was trying to get to the 2002 wrx FSM

If I do this at home, my wife will probably kill me🔪🤕

On the right-hand side of the engine, does it matter if the actual gear itself on opposite sides or are they different cz they both look the same so

I had the 2.2 in my car with only 108,000 miles. I ended it swaping it with an ej257, but let me tell you... I love the swap but i miss the the gas saver and reliable 2.2

I bought my 99 wagon back from my x wife i'll never sell it 😊

Great video, just about to do this on my wife’s Subaru

Thank you for this information I’m about do this to my 2005 Subaru legacy wagon 2.5gt

Have you ever noticed the the plunger doesnt line directly up with the dowel pin that the tensioner pushes on? I was trying to zoom in but hard to see on your video

what a job MOST def not a sti. Down pipe and drive shaft dropped to get to the bolts care full they dont send the wrong part if you have a 6 speed the angle of the connector pin to the shifter shaft is different

Awesome job

Several poor techniques here. First, you should set TDC mechanically, not using pressure rise as a surrogate. Not hard to be several degrees off that way. Consistency matters in tests like this. Second, NEVER use a tool at the extremes of its range. You should not be using 100 psi for testing. Aviation uses 80 psi for good reason. It is assured to be well below the pressure provided by most compressors and it is well below the maximum rated pressure of the gauge and more likely to be in the linear and more accurate range of the gage. This video should be retitled to say “How NOT to perform a cylinder leak down test.”

So much good information, I'm currently trying to remove my water pump. And have to remove the timing belt. And might as well change the timing belt.

Luke, glad to see you making content again! The RSTi is awesome!

I OWN SUBARU'S FROM EVERY GENERATION MINUS THE VA AND HONESTLY THE VB IS BY FAR THE MOST SLEPT ON AND BEST WRX THEYVE MADE. PREFERRING OLDER CARS IS BECAUSE OF THEIR NOVELTY AND ANALGOUS CHARACTERISTICS OBVIOUSLY EACH GEN GETS BETTER/WORSE..IVE LOVED EJ'S SINCE 2002 BUT THIS NEW FA24 IS A RIOT AND THE CHASSIS AND OEM TUNING IS SUPRISINGLY WELL ROUNDED..EVEN THE ENGINE BASE MAPS LOOK SMOOTH AMD CONSISTENT WHICH TOOK SOME REAL WORK AND THE RIGHT PARTS WITH EJ'S TO GET CLOSE. BUT FOR NOW EJS HAVE HIGHER POWER POTENTIAL.

So what ties on to the top of that T fitting?

Whats the best way to keep this alive then. Obviously its gonna want some polishing in the future i would imagine

WHERES THE THE WEB SITE???

a good "while your in there" piece to replace

Getting geared up to fix my 0 compression cyl #4 issue and will implement your fix... Much obliged!

At 3:26, that is not an "A" pillar, but a "C" pillar … the " A" pillar is what the windscreen sits in…

So what did you do to the valve cover port that used to have the line that went to the black metal pipe in front of IC?

Hey man I just installed one of these, and for a week I had an oil pressure light, my tuner was saying the O ring they send is crap and causes leaks, I got a new brown o ring from autozone would this work?

I've done everything to get this out and no matter what I do it won't come out, any suggestions?

I'm following this procedure and I'm stuck at an inability to get the cogged idler in place and the threads of the bolt started (engine in place) I'm certain I haven't missed a rib and everything's lined up and taut on top but I can't get that extra bit of give. any tricks on this step? pls advise

Excellent video. Clear explanation that is easy to understand. Love the surgical precision of your videos. (Notice the caduceus tattoo.)

I dont want to bother u but is there a way i can contact u for help i have a 02 bugeye and my mom bought a 01 forester engine and my dad put the 02 intake manifold on and he said hed help me build it but he isnt helping at all ive looked at diagrams the service manual but i dont know where the vacuum lines go

How much does it cost?

Nice video , perfect orientation, thanks

Very helpful. Thanks.

What happens if I’m having trouble rotating the crank sprocket to get it to the mark? Feels like resistance. Engine is on the stand and has not been ran yet.

Nice video! Question im looking to buy a decatted down pipe they seem hard to find for the gc8s. Do other models work?

I just use a fuel pump in a closed loop system. 1 gallon fuel can with the return and suction going into it and a walbro 255 extra pump I had and regulate it to 60psi since that’s what I run for fuel pressure. Then I flow match all used injectors and make matching sets.

Wait he has eyes behind those glasses haha

Wow! Welcome backkkkkkkkkk
