A Quick Subaru WRX STI Blob Eye Build 

Huge Shout out to Todays Video sponsors the Ridge! If you're looking for a new wallet def hit up ridge.com/smeedia.

Machine shops backed up because of all the heads you keep sending 😂

Maybe it’s just me drinking, but it seems like the quality in video/editing has gone way up. I love it. Been watching the channel for a long time. You guys rock. Love seeing Matt get more involved too.

What I like about the customer builds (and also when you buy a new car) is when you go through everything and say what you like and don't like about the current set-up and why - very informative. 👍

Customer cars are nice just in the variety of setups. Gives you ideas on parts and layouts. You do a great job explaining the install but sometimes tend to stay with the exact same setup on every build

Watching this video from the hospital currently, good way to keep me entertained 🫶🏻 keep up the good work🤙🏼

Man, I soo enjoy watching your content. It's crazy to see how easy you pull engines out like its the thing to do.

Great video Tanner. Always great to see blobeye work!

112K!!!!! Lets goooo baby!!!!!!

Keep the vids coming always waiting on some stuff 💪🏽💪🏽

Content is always great Homie!

all your vedios are worth watching learning a lot well done to the both of you keep it up 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hell yea! Customer car coverage is cool!

Never been this early before. Keep up the great work bro, really making me wanna buy another STI

My weekly smeedia fix🎉

Please keep doing videos on customer cars. I love these older chassis Subarus

Enjoy watching you working on customer builds. Swear to god, you and Matt need to open up a shop. You have a guarantee customer! 😂👌

💪Getting things done!

I'm so behind on videos because of work. Time to catch up on the last 3 videos! 😁

Love the client cars

Nice to see your doing customer cars aswell as your own. David

You put a rag over the intercooler when cutting…MY MAN! I literally went back and was like “wait….ok he did cover it” 😂

Love your work mate! I've personally rebuilt x2 ej207 based builds on a wrx wagon and forester xt both 2005 Not keen to split the block I'm an electrician with no one machinal training but if your passion it about the platform anything is possible with this channel Future power goals i wanna smoke some of these Aussie v8s with half the cylinders and wipe the smirk of their faces Straya

Great vid as usual. You guys do great work. I may have some questions on a 2016 BRZ coming up in the future if you don’t mind me asking. Thanks

I'm not sure the correct way to ask unrelated questions so I apologize in advance I'm researching converting my 2013 wrx to e85 and I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to run 1050 injectors WITHOUT going to top feed fuel rails to avoid messing with TGV mods. I know you've mentioned this in a previous video but I'm having trouble finding it.

Hope you see this and able to help me. I have 2007 Subaru STI, I am having trouble with emission code P0448. Vapor Canister Vent Valve. But when you look there's no connection for it at all. No where next to the Charcoal Canister we are able to locate it. Is there a way to by pass it that you know of? Or do you know is the Cobb access port will work? Any input?

Interesting I just blew my blob up lol what would one of your short blocks run?

That killer b turbo inlet is an absolute nightmare to work with. Their instructions say it can go in without pulling the manifold. Test results determined that was a lie. I actually had to file out a small relief on the inside of the curve because it absolutely would not clear one of the bolts on the manifold. Finally got it all in and then realized I needed to add that fitting all the way at the top near the turbo because even though they stated that the fitting only needed to be added if you retain stock PCV, they didn't account for the IAG being a 1:1 replacement. It was at that point that the manifold came off because it's physically impossible to get that fitting on (which they make you source on your own) with the manifold in place. Sorry for the salt lol... this was the worst experience I've ever had working on a car 😅

Where do i contact you to potentially have work done on my 05 white sti.

I like the customer content

the build is going great man! also how hard is it to change a head gasket because mine blew

Do you have a site where you list your rate/price for building a customer car?

It's easy to say we should always budget for a new clutch but because its 2023 that is an easy $1k between clutch and flywheel.This hobby is getting insane

Ever thought about doing a forester Sti build ???

Love the videos, but have had a pressing question.... what do you do in instances of switching out wheels, do you have the tire place reflash the sensors or do you buy new ones everytime, or do you just deal with a constant dashboard light?

What tire specs were you running on the WRX? Thinking of running 255/40 on 18x9.5 +42/+35 for the thicker sidewall on a 2021 STI. But can't decide whether 265/35 is better. Also do you think mach v crucials in bronze, enkei raijin, or ts10 in copper on a lapis STI? Can't decide 😭.

Super nice build Tanner! Don't you think closed deck is a bit much for just a dom 1.5?

If you have a grimmspeed manual boost controller, then there you have a plug for the inlet hose where the bov recirculation port is 😅😂 AMHIK

Hey man, love your content and loving the every-other-day video schedule! I have a 2013 wrx hatch. I’m hoping to add some bolt-on power (nothing crazy) what is your opinion on the Cobb stage power packages?

Sounds like outfront motorsports there solid parts there costumer service just sucks but they make good motors and parts

Sucks that Competition Clutch hasent been the best for you, I love mine but then again I have a different platform so who knows. How did that corded multi-tool work out for ya, any easier than before?

Must be CHF or something along the line . I remember looking and finding a machine shop in CA when Outfront was super busy.

Hey Tanner, what are those clamps called that you’re using on the Intercooler couplers? I’d love to eliminate my worm clamps with something more robust.

🔥🔥

Do you really need to cut the radiator support to install the ets fmi ?😪

man i hate my comp clutch in my wrx. its the most uncomfortable ride, after 1.5k miles still getting chatter. i used a lightweight flywheel and the next time my motor comes back im atleast swapping to an oem flywheel cause i hate the lightweight one

Hey so we got my car running and driving, 03 wrx wagon and my pioneer double din head unit doesn't power on. Also none of the dome lights come on either and I wired the low beams into the jdm aftermarket headlights and whenever you switch on the high beams, either wired together or no lows only high beam both right and left 15 amp fuses blow. Just wondering what your thoughts are. The headlight is a h11 led both high low, they have a hid ballest I didn't use to wire the lows in because I just have the normal 9007 halogen socket.

Where can i get tgv delete for my 06 sti?

Is that sound dampening material on the inside of the hood?

I am currently looking into Subarus and planning to purchase a WRX for myself. As there aren't many available in my country, I might want to import one from Japan. Going with that, is a Blobeye or Hawkeye the more reliable / cheaper to maintain car? Lookwise I love both!

Let's hear that puppy run!!!! 👍👍👍 Also how giving are your neighbors to your used car lot? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Where did you get braided power steering lines? My 04 has a leak

So when you going to 2j swap a sti?

What is the difference between closed deck and open deck?

Why don’t you put in the engine fully assembled?

music needed to be lower so i can hear yall working n talking about the car while working on the car; Areas like when u were trimming the bumper and matt was down on the ground trying to help put it on with you and he said stuff that i couldnt hear, areas like that ya know?

I need a ej255 turbo for 06+ engine and im broke as shit

CURIOUS to know what woudl your prcing be for a similar build

🏎️

I gotta take my car back to have them redo the heads because the exhaust Manifold Flange leaks oil....might have to redo engine to because at 7k I still have glitter and some of it is copper

I wish I lived close enough to be a customer car😂😂

1:57 in. You really Should drop a name. Prevent others In a similar situation.. whom find themselves in a Hopeful position only to get or be let down! .

I like this type of content as well. Diversity keeps your channel engaging. 🫡🤝
