Maybe finally they will take Rocketeer's V6 kit.
this had me rofl. but that is also the most common step.

@@ReelAnglerReviews 3.5 what??
@@emanuelnamseth1469 you think you could turbo a 3.5 liter vortex can be
@@ReelAnglerReviews You talking the inline 5? In canyons, or colorado? I'd guess so. But compression is probably about 10:1 so not more than 20psi. Plus tuning. Ebay turbos are cheap $200 amount, and are good for 15psi all day.
Just watch out if you mean the inline 5 they have timing chain at front and rear of engine. Expensive job to replace.

😂😂😂😂 plus if its already a turbo one I would say just get a bigger turbo and start that 600hp build by yesterday
Speaking personally, I have a 2008 Subaru Forester which is supposed to be the best model years and it is biggest Piece of junk I have ever owned. Calling it a turd is a insult to turds everywhere
@@yamilmelendez2667 If it's an already turbo'ed engine from the factory, say the 1st gen Legacy Turbo (EJ22T), or any of the WRX's (bug eye and blob eye in this case with the EJ205), then yes. The EJ255 and EJ257 are great engines off the show room floor and if maintained properly, but the 2.5 liter Subaru engines have the worst of the problems of Subaru engines. Ringland failures, melted pistons, spun rod bearings, melted valves, and the worst of the head gasket issues. If the 2.5 liter turbo engines are built with beefier forged internals, MLS head gaskets and head studs, then absolutely go for a bigger turbo and moe powah babey. Now, the naturally aspirated EJ25s (EJ25D, EJ251, namely) are the worst ones to NA-T build. The 2.2 (naturally aspirated and the turbo ones) and 2.0 liter engines are the best ones from the factory with much stronger internals and have the least issues, and you may even be able to successfully turbo an EJ22 motor (depending on which one it is, and if it is a frankenmotor) for less than the price of an STI swap. The EJ22 motors have the same forged crankshaft and rods as an EJ20 WRX motor, but have larger pistons due to the bigger bore. Same engine casting, just a bigger bore in the EJ22. EJ25 is the biggest bore and have a longer stroke, but that's what makes them blow head gaskets much more due to thin cylinder walls and not very much support with an open deck block.

Dear Donut, I would like to mf congratulate y'all this video blew me away!!!! Many of these dynamics can get fairly complicated, and can also applied to aerospace engineering. The way Zach explained things briefly but informatively gave people the right idea of what they were getting into, how much they understood watching their first time through, and just how ready they were to tackle this. Truly a great video, keep up the good work! I've seen this channel EXPLODE from just around 300k to now 4.45 million its insane and it hope it continues! The amount of effort just put into the sponsorship ad is insane, they are actually entertaining I don't even skip them anymore.
All in all, this was a great video and I hope you guys continue on the path laid in front of you, things are looking great for us, your subscribes, and you guys! The more people that get to watch, the bigger the products and production can become for us and it's been such an enjoyable journey thus far.
Sincercerely,

Every car is boost ready, as long as you're ready to replace everything as it grenades
Or if you run low enough boost. Running conservative 5 PSI on my daily VW Bug. Even with that little boost it's still very helpful to make it less slow.
@@quillmaurer6563 what compression ratio do you run? Stock or lowered?
@@VanHalen2TheTop Stock, as far as I know (I didn't build this motor). Stock compression on those is pretty low, something like 7.5:1 or less.
@@quillmaurer6563 jeeze 7.5:1 with a turbo. thats really low
@@quillmaurer6563 the only problem with low boost is that it will need to become much higher boost to satisfy growing power hunger 🤣

The engine in the Miata was originally designed to have a turbo bolted onto it.
When they left it off, they didn't change anything as they knew the tuning boys would want to put one back on.

Its 250 for snap on compression tester. No one in their right mind would buy that for how little donut will actually be using it
You're exactly right. That's why I said he knows what he's doing, this isn't his first time breaking a bolt loose.
@Mobile Terminaluser snap ons expensive yes but the statement you said instantly made me laugh because of how obvious it is you’ve never held a snap on tool
@Mobile Terminaluser some tools go cheap but some tools you gotta spend money or your going to repeatedly break the cheapies
Does make a hell of a difference. I had a mx5 mk1 1.6 with a td04 turbo kit on with a switchible custom map and was absolutely brilliant. 140bhp 1st setting and 210bhp 2nd setting. Was absolute hoot to drive accept in the british rain..

yep ! good stuff to do ! a couple years ago i was enjoying the boosted life and one day backing down the drive way noticed some blue puffs of smoke. Shut the car down got out the compression testor noticed cyl one was barely in the 100 psi range while the other 5 were normal in the 140 range.
Got it top dead center and then started pressurizing the cyl, open the throttle, no sound, check the exhaust no sound, pop the oil cap WHOOSH. Immediately told me all the pressure is going past the rings. So now since then i've been saving up for my parts for the rebuild.

I just realised that in the last sponsered segment for ridge, time travelling zach saves james from getting his money taken away and before he leaves he says he has to save jerry from losing his job as host of B2B, and in this ad he saves jerry from losing his job and then says he has to saves james. I guess thats why I watch Donut ads. Love the small details.
11:25 should've used a stethoscope or even just touching a wrench to the block/head and your ear so there's a direct connection for the sound to travel (amplify) to your ear. that's a good way to find leaks in pipes without having to drain and disassemble.
That SnapOn hat was probably more expensive then the whole turbo kit lmaoo

🎀💔👺
Great video, Id like to add that it is top dead center compression. You noted that the valves should be closed, but for any body new to these tests, they should know that there are 2 top dead center positions. compression: where both intake and exhaust valves are closed, and overlap: where both intake and exhaust valves are slightly open. while putting a long tool in the spark plug hole is very helpful and a trick i use all the time, it doesnt give you tdcc, neither does lining up the timing marks. if the valve cover is off its pretty easy to tell either by having play in the rocker arms or visually watching the valves open and close or by the cam lobes facing away from the buckets. if the valve cover is on you can try to listen to the air being pushed out the spark plug hole on compression or do trial and error: if you have massive leak down on both intake and exhaust, you are likely on over lap, turn the motor 180 and test again. if you still have excessive leakage then you have a problem. If not, then great you found tdcc and have a good cylinder and valve seal.
Thx for the info i was trying to turbo my dad's 2007 Corolla box
I wonder if the air compressor turning on and interrupting him as he says “no leaks” is ominous lol.
