2011 WRX EJ20x Engine Swap PART: 2

Follow up to our previous DIY video where we explained the process to swap this engine into your single AVCS Subaru chassis. Here we do a basic recap and some driving videos to showcase how well a properly done EJ20x swap with a tune can really perform!

The car is making 300whp/254lbft using virtual dyno on the final revision 93pump gas map, and pulls very smoothly through the power-band using this exhaust cam configuration. D-man really works to fine tune drivability not only WOT driving, which the 20x requires to have a smooth daily driver.
