Killer B vs. OEM Oil Pickup on Subaru EJ Engines

In-depth look at the Subaru Killer B Oil Pickup for the EJ-series engine, and a comparison against the factory OEM pickup. This is a critical upgrade that, if ignored, can cause total engine failure due to lack of lubrication at the bearings. Check out this video for breakdown of how these oil pickups are designed, fabricated, and why you MUST consider replacing that OEM oil pickup before its too late!

This video is part of a "Build Series" (see "Playlists" tab for all videos) for my 1998 Rally Blue Pearl RSTi Coupe (Impreza 2.5RS swapped with a EJ205 turbo engine), which is 1 of only 720 sold in the USDM for 1998. This RSTi Build has come a long way and includes a full archive of videos documenting how to: (1) Pull a EJ-series turbo engine, (2) Replace the head gaskets, (3) Add key upgrades to increase long-term reliability, and (4) Restore the interior to OEM specifications.

I'M GOING FULL-TIME as a YouTube Creator starting Dec 2020! Hope you'll join me on this journey into the unknown!
