WATCH: How to Build a Subaru EJ Engine that won’t BLOW UP!

  • Jeff Naeyaert

 

Time to dust off Project Bugeye WRX and start putting its new engine together. We’ll show you all the parts that will be going into our EJ20 build, along with some of the tricks and processes we use to ensure its reliability. Many will say that a rebuilt EJ is never as good as one from the factory. We don’t agree, so let’s us show you how we do it.

If you liked the video, please subscribe to our YouTube channel and we’ll keep making more content like this!
