I’m gonna be honest josh, I honestly don’t get tired of hearing you talk. I click on these videos to try and learn as much as I can from someone who builds and tunes these cars everyday so I can move forward with knowledge to help make my own decisions. Any video where you give little tips or information is well appreciated

Been slacking on watching your videos lately. Kinda disappointed I wasn't able to find the information I needed in time for black friday sales, but and missed out on getting my turbo and fuel systems. Just been blah with the sti lately.. Maybe some time away from cars and buying parts will get me back into the swing. I just know I lost a good chance of saving alot of money on parts I know I need. Anyway glad to see you back on the tube making videos. Keep up the great work. ✌️

@FastandFamished 2 месяца назад

After watching this video. It was definitely clear that i will be going with more power. While weighing the Pros and Cons of the RA short block i just could not think about and worry of a possible ring land failure again. So i decided to go with the IAG 750 EJ25. Excited about it, thank you for your insight.

I actually had my first race the other day, and from a 60 roll, i absolutely gapped a late model scat pack challenger... That's a 485hp automatic, not too bad for a ten yr old car with a type RA block.. TBH, if i could go back and do it over, I would have bought an engine from you.. lol

@Rynowhite14 5 месяцев назад

I was just talking to my friend about this. I went with an ra block and STI heads on my 02 wrx, with the STI transmission. I'm at about 300whp, and don't really find my current set up lacking in power. On the back roads, I was surprised how fast I find myself at 90mph during the strait sections. Not sure if a 600 hp would even be as fun for a daily. I'm still rocking the wrx clutch, but when I swap that, i'll probably upgrade the cams, so I can hold a little more power up top/regain some low end torque I'm loosing from the STI cams, and upgrade the turbo to ball bearing/porting.

I have a question 🙋‍♂️ , if I get pro tuned and engine blow up in the future because time came up on stock type RA block, if I get the same engine to replace it, do I need to Pro tune it again or I can still use same tune ? Sorry for a lame question. Thank you 🙏🏻 for the content 🤝

@Auxiliary_Alpha 2 месяца назад

hey josh, or anyone in the community that is familiar with Subarus, I have a 2019 STI and its pretty much stock, recently I've been having a weird hesitation between 2500-3200 RPM in every gear (not sure about first gear as i usually dont push the RPMS that high in 1st) , it feels like timing being pulled or fuel cutting so I'm feeling like it could be a sensor. I've already replaced my knock sensor as per seeing corrosion on the contact point but i don't want to just keep throwing parts at it with no base. If anyone could help out that would be fantastic.

@codyhendrickson7735 6 месяцев назад

Curious why Torque Solutions oil pan kit wasn't used since you seemed to be in favor of using their products on your personal builds? No doubt IAGs oil pan kit is great.

@BaderBuiltRacing 6 месяцев назад

Actually have used them a lot, only reason I switched is because I had issues with the oil drain leaking with supplied hardware. IAG one I don’t have to outsource hardware and I already am ordering several parts for builds so it is also easier. Don’t get me wrong, I still use many torque solution parts, such as their fuel line kit is my favorite to this day.

What block is in your 1000hp stock block car? New to Subaru and looking at buying with an 05 or 15 launch edition and wanting to build a motor to make 6-800ish. I’ve always heard you need a closed deck.

@shredder8910 6 месяцев назад

That's correct, you're gonna need a closed deck motor for anything greater than 500whp in my opinion.

@Car00071 6 месяцев назад

I don’t remember what block he said it was except that he did say it’s probably not gonna hold at that hp level. He’s ready for it to blow at some point.
