This series has accidentally been the most compelling "Under absolutely no circumstances should you buy a Subaru" advertisement ever.
Was about to comment the same
I’m never in my life getting a Subaru
@Jack Wrath No you don't
@Jack Wrath if your videos were so good, you wouldn't need to advertise yourself under legit every single comment on someone else's video.
@Jack Wrath all you have is a playlist titled videos from a channel that isn't yours by a channel with a fake check
If you make better vids you wouldn't be jumping on "cringetubers" channels your videos would do the talking...
This series has quickly become a season of money pit
somehow Hi car is the money pit and not low car :D
Haha totally agree. If they had filmed this more recently, they could have taken the advice of subscribers on like the first few episodes to get a better oil pan. Lots of people were commenting that the stock WRX oil pan allows oil to stray from the pickup tube under hard cornering like track days, which can be solved with better baffling and more capacity like the Killer B pan. Probably would have saved them a few engines by preventing oil starvation that results in worn/spun bearings.
@@drshocking1229 thats the whole point lmao
I like that this time they took a car wichs is known to have not a great engine and yeah it shows one motor swap after the other a new hi car i mean man that sucks bud also its kind of realstic when u go tinkering to make a second gand car faster

I half rolled my 06 wrx in poor conditions last year on November 11th 2021 at 257k miles.
I didn't have the funds to repair the roof and A-pillar but I had my spare 04 2.5rs shell that was WRX swapped by the previous owner.
Sometime in October a couple months back I finally got the motivation to see if the engine was still saveable, did an oil change, primed the oil system and after plugging the fuel relay back in she fired right over.
Ran her through a few heatcycles to rule out any possible gremlins and she checked out.
Still felt excruciatingly hopeless considering it was the factory longblock that I refreshed the heads on at 239k and added some reliability focused upgrades/mods.
When I drained the oil I was pleasantly surprised to find no shavings or excessive metal indicating any failure.
Coolant was old but clean of any foreign contaminants
So ive been in the process of swapping my 06's engine, drivetrain, subframe's, engine/chassis harness and full interior (dash and all) into the 04 shell after doing a full teardown on that one too.
I've owned my 06 since 2015, she's my heart and soul and ever since i wrecked her ive been lost.
So I revived her into a new body so she can live on and be alive once more.
I'm so close to finishing the swap, at the end of today she will breathe life once again after the seats are installed, rear subframe, drivetrain, engine, and new whiteline suspension components.
Yeah Subarus get a bad rep, but they tend to find THEIR owners. Ones who will love them unconditionally and take care of them.
You can still have so much fun and get so much enjoyment out of these cars but the important points to achieve that are PRIORITIZE PREVENATIVE MAINTENANCE AND RELIABILITY FOCUSED SUPPORTING MODS.
You have to start with a solid foundation before you can build on it.
Pro ( not a pro ) Tip - but it’s always a good idea to do a oil change before doing a major upgrade . Even if u may have to drain the oil again you will find issues like metal in oil and save yourself a lot of time not having to take new parts back off . Done multiple upgrades over the years and this saved me atleast a days worth of work twice so far .
I love how every episode just about has required a new engine. This is an expensive series 😂
Expensive yes. But I'm sure they can resell any of them for at least 15k ez

Shout out to Nolan, whos noticeably learned and changed a ton since the start of these series. Props to you man.
Nolan has become one hell of a driver and a modder!

I miss the breakdown at the end where Nolan and James talk about the benefits of both and discuss which one is actually worth it. We all obviously expect to see the more expensive parts to perform better, but having people actually sit down and say whether they'd spring for the more expensive parts feels way more genuine.
I felt the same way, the gains on low car were seriously impressive for the price. I think they glossed over it because it'd be really hard to talk specifically about the turbos in amongst everything they did this episode. Both engines were basically rebuilt and there are a lot of supporting mods that probably deserved their own episodes, this one could have been feature-length but I think they worked hard enough on it as it is haha
think they're just tired from spending 2 weeks in agony over this cars lmao
Too busy replacing engines.
The other issue is they are not looking at the same turbo James didn't get a buschur 20G he went with a 3071R. So it's not like looking at a cheap option of the same spec turbo. It's been one of my issues with the whole high low cars set up. They do almost no research into anything they buy. Almost as if they just do shopping on reddit. More expensive more better. It's gonna get to the point to where they buy 2 super cars one with an engine and one with out and race them to see which ones faster. I had to tap out of this episode It's not for me.
@@TinoR626to be honest the only thing that made the 1st season of HiLow so entertaining was mostly the actual building of cars and the misc stuff that happened in-between, now they’ve basically removed that entire idea and just tell you what they bought, how it works, do a small building montage with some bits in it, and then show you the obvious results
Love donut! Makes learning so much about cars a great time!

Got the wife a new 2016 WRX. Figured I'd tune it and she would have an STI. Called COBB to ask about reliability and longevity after a tune. They said the powertrain wouldn't survive 50k miles after a tune... This series has solidified that information.

Given that the bottom end was completely replaced on both cars and no dyno chec after said replacement, there was no baseline. Also the addition accessories attached to both cars during the turbo swap are not the same therefore again no baseline. In theory both tubos are near equal as far as creating additional power however the cheap unit probably doesn't have the longevity of the higher price model and will probably blow up and take your engine with it.

12:20 As a Subaru owner, I sincerely hope Low Car's center differential is still good after towing like that. The owner's manual recommends flatbed towing, but allows for manual transmission models to be towed with all four wheels still on the ground with the transmission in neutral. If you tow it like you did with the front wheels in the air you will cause the viscous center differential to spin and heat up. Good luck with the rest of this series. Hopefully nothing else goes wrong.
We removed the driveshafts for the tow 👍
@@Donut Okay, now that makes sense. Good thinking.
I was looking for this comment 😂 That tow hurt me for a sec.
I assume they pulled the drive shaft.
@donut Real mechanics stuff
You guys are single-handedly driving the demand and prices down for these Subies and I'm here for it.
Oiling and semi-closed deck blocks are the most understated problems with Subaru builds, you have to have better oiling and better cylinder support than you get from factory, even the 257 block isn’t closed deck. There are great closed deck blocks out there but they start in the 3k range.

Few things you guys needed to know before jumping into a subaru platform. These cars are usually reliable at stock power, and the ej engines start to run into issues when you increase the power without proper support mods + good tune.
When you bring it to the track, there are a few things that need to be addressed right the way.
1st, Oil temperature issue, boxer engines make a lot of heat, and they heat up the oil real quick. So, getting an air to oil cooler is highly recommended.
2nd, unlike straight 4 configuration engines, gravity does not help boxer engines drain back the oil as well as the straight 4 engines. So it's best to have a larger baffled wet sump to keep the oil at the pickup tube.
3rd, ej25's pickup tube is known to crack easily. Hence, you see lots of aftermarket companies sell baffle oil pan + pickup tube as a package deal to address this issue.
4th, it's just the nature of a turbo charged engine, where lots of positive crank case pressure is being built up. Such that factory PCV system doesn't really help combat recirculating oil fuel mixture back into the combustion chamber, which can potentially cause detonation during the compression stroke. So, ej turbo charged engines need an AOS system (catch can) to separate positive crank case air pressure from its oil fuel mixture.
With all the mods, ej engine would become quite reliable until you run into older ej engine's gasket issues or the newer ej engine's ringland issues at a high boost.
But what I concern most about the next issue would be the dodgy wrx gear box. Unlike the sti gear box, the base wrx gear box is built of Swiss cheese, so now that you guys are running at high power output, the dodgy gear box will give eventually. You're warned.
I love the little time lapse at 16:23 with the dog just standing there and then sitting down.

This segment has been a mix of money pit and hi/ low😂
their cars aren’t cursed, they just don’t know what they’re doing with them, a fresh motor requires engine break in, etc, they’re tuning with Cobb and using tgv deletes, they’re using garret turbo as the high option, they’re using TEIN coilovers as the high option, they have no clue what they’re doing with Subarus and that’s okay, but the bad light they’re shining is their fault
3:32 James has that look like “damn..we’re going to have to replace this engine before we’re even done”
High five to Donut for these expensive "supporting modes" overview and installation here. Other CZcamsrs would make a separate episode about each of them.
Zack's work is not forgotten and still appreciated: episodes about similar mods on Miata in MoneyPit were great.
I love how consistently clapped Hi Car is in this season. Even with the chassis swap.
Hi car is secretly Lo car this season lol
should have kept both and did a compitition engion swap. A tricked out crate finished build for high side vs Junkyard swapped custom rebuild.
This is great for me because i am 16, and I'll be getting a car soon, and i plan on making it go fast. im glad there is yt people like you guys, lots of love
I’d love to see a Donut Media episode of up to speed with the whole team. The camaraderie y’all have built is the reason I watch this channel. It’d be interesting to see how it all came to be!
I’ve never seen a series of videos more accurately capture the highs and lows of car modification.
My favorite capture of the lows is when they rebuilt the steering rack on the Miata and it ended up leaking worse than before. That was too real.
While the peak HP difference was substantial, it really doesn't tell us much. I would have loved to see the complete dyno graphs. I'll take 30 extra hp from. 2500 to 5k over a massive peak per anytime for almost all applications other than drag racing, and maybe even there.
I like how on low car they switched the Intercooler to the correct position and not upside down like high car
Whenever I find myself wanting a Subaru, I'm going to come back and watch this series again to remind myself that's a BAD idea.

Respect for not just canning the entire Subuwu series but speeding it up - before blowing a bunch more motors! Lol
My 2.0 turbo egacy gt has over 300,000 miles and the gearbox is beginning to get worn synchros and it does have other imperfections but other than replacing a turbo and servicing it regularly I haven’t had any issues and it shares most parts with these cars including the gearbox
it will be fun to see a hi/low fiesta mk6 zetec 1.6, love that car
As someone who is enjoying this lil series, I appreciate how much y'all are going through just to continue and finish through with it
I've been thinking this for a while, but I really believe a third car which gets the agreed best value parts would be super interesting and add new perspective on the parts together versus separately
this is such a great idea
Lol on the series, owner of a sti over here and need to add a high/low tune on the cars. 😂😂 thanks for the content
"We'll rebuild and we'll be back, and then we'll blow em up, and then we'll rebuild then we'll be back" - James, 2022
what a classic
I love when Nolan's emotions come through. I'm here for Nolan!
Keep your head up Nolan, we love ya!
Flash back to the oil leak on low z🤣
Watching this makes me appreciate the skill level of professional race teams ability to keep their cars running week after week
Imagine F1 teams upkeeping their multi million dollar cars
yup but professional race teams have alot of money to spend on parts and time
@@dennis_nl7587 f1 engineers are mindblowing
They also don't rev their engines after sitting cold and dry for an hour+ just cuz they wanna hear the exhaust sound.
@@k-aw-teksleepysageuni8181yeah this series has really highlighted no one at donut media actually knows anything about cars beyond spec sheets in magazines
“We will rebuild, and then we’ll be back. And then we’ll blow em’ up. And then we’ll rebuild. And then we’ll be back, and we’ll do that for the rest of our lives, because we’re subi boys now”
James is definitely a subi boy now
Nolan: " $230 turbo."
M: *Flash Back to Low 350Z* "YK, I'm happy Aaron isn't around for this season."
P.S. What happened to Aaron anyway?
They just didn't go forward with having him be part of hi/low for this season, Aaron mentioned it on his Instagram. I don't think it was anything serious, doesn't seem to be any bad blood.
He has a show called Runs Good on MotorTrend
This season has been the culmination of every fear I have of working on a car stuffed into one omg
"if i dont trim it my girlfriend will leave me" quote of the year
I like the way they integrate ads, makes u wanna watch it
Baffled oil pan would probably really help you guys going through engines
For real.
Honestly , yes
I mean, from the looks of things, they have IAG pans on the cars.
We've had them installed since the first track day (but not the stock test day)
