How to Change Oil: Subaru FA24 Engine (2022-2026 WRX, BRZ, Ascent)
updated
The FA24 engine can experience oil blow-by under boost, allowing oil vapor to enter the intake system. An Air Oil Separator helps capture that oil before it reaches your intercooler and intake, helping keep the intake tract cleaner over time. If you're planning future performance upgrades or simply want to protect your engine, this is one of the most popular reliability modifications for the 2022-2026 WRX.
Whether you're new to working on your Subaru or an experienced DIY enthusiast, this installation guide will help you complete the job with confidence.
In this video:
✔ Complete Perrin AOS installation
✔ Required tools and installation tips
✔ How an Air Oil Separator works
✔ Benefits of reducing oil blow-by
✔ Is the Perrin AOS worth the money?
✔ Final thoughts after the install

After 4 years and over 60,000 miles, I’m taking my 2022 Subaru WRX to the limit to find out the honest truth. We aren't just talking about the commute; we’re heading to the exclusive Inde Motorsports Ranch in Arizona to see if this platform can actually handle a high-intensity track day.
In this video, we break down:
• The Track Test: Pushing the FA24 engine to redline and testing the cooling limits.
• Street vs. Track: How the electronic steering feels compared to the analog "raw" feel of the older GD STI and my R32 GTR.
• The Mods: A real-world look at how the STI brake swap, cooling upgrades, and bolt-ons performed under pressure.
• 60,000 Mile Verdict: After four years of ownership, would I buy it again?
Whether you are looking to buy a used VB WRX or you're a current owner wondering about its track potential, this is the deep dive you’ve been waiting for.
Leave a comment below: Do you think the new WRX has lost its soul, or is it the best version yet?

From the moment I saw Paul Walker as Brian O’Conner and Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto in The Fast and the Furious, I was hooked.
Now I’m standing next to these legendary cars in real life… and it still feels just as unreal as the first time watching it.
This is more than a movie—it’s car culture, it’s inspiration, it’s family.
🕊️ “I almost had you…”

Now I’m building my own 2022 Subaru WRX (VB WRX) and every time I work on it, I’m reminded of the inspiration those movies gave so many of us in the car community. This video edit is a tribute to the impact Fast & Furious had on me and countless other builders around the world.
From turbo Subarus to JDM tuner culture, the influence of those early films is still alive today.
If Fast & Furious inspired you too, you’re definitely not alone.

The new Perrin Performance Front Mount Intercooler is larger and more efficient than both the OEM intercooler and Perrin’s original design. This upgraded FMIC increases airflow and cooling capacity, helping the FA24 turbo engine produce more consistent power with gains of around +20 horsepower while reducing heat soak during hard driving.
If you’re modifying a 2022+ Subaru WRX, a front mount intercooler upgrade is one of the best performance mods for improving turbo efficiency, power, and reliability. In this install video we go through the full process of fitting the Perrin FMIC, discuss the benefits compared to the stock top mount setup, and take a look at the massive size difference.
Whether you're building a street WRX, track car, or high horsepower FA24 build, this intercooler upgrade is a huge step toward better performance.

Proper cooling is critical to preventing brake fade, overheating, and expensive rotor warping. I test fit new air-guide cooling ducts inspired by the Nismo 400R design, which route air directly into your brakes to keep temperatures stable. We also dive into Padid Street Plus pads—the same brake pads used on the Lotus Evora 400—to ensure your R32, R33, or R34 GTR has the stopping power it deserves.
What’s Inside This Technical Guide:
Preventing Brake Fade: Why active air-cooling ducts are the ultimate insurance policy for your expensive brake components.
Padid Street Plus Performance: I perform a test fit and break down why these are the superior choice for a dual-purpose street/track GTR.
Fitment & Clearance: Watch as we mock up the cooling guides to ensure proper clearance with our AP Racing brackets.
Next-Gen Development: We discuss upcoming plans for custom-designed brake lines that match the quality of our Speed Performance Lab kit.
Future Market Plans: I’m looking into stocking these cooling ducts and high-performance pads for both GTR and WRX owners—let me know if you want a set in the comments!

Moving beyond OEM solid rotors is one of the most effective ways to improve your GTR’s driving dynamics. By shedding approximately 8 lbs of unsprung weight per corner and utilizing high-carbon, semi-floating discs, this setup significantly reduces brake fade and improves steering response. Whether you are prepping for a track day or looking to improve your stopping power on the street, this is the ultimate brake upgrade for the GTR chassis. splracing.myshopify.com
What’s Inside This Technical Breakdown:
Performance Benefits: Why two-piece rotors are essential for reducing brake fade and preventing 'coning' under high heat.
Massive Weight Savings: We compare the OEM cast-iron rotors to our Speed Performance Lab two-piece design to show exactly how much unsprung mass you can cut.
Engineering Quality: Developed in collaboration with Supertech Racing, these rotors utilize 6061 aluminum top hats and high-carbon discs built to the same production quality as industry-leading Endless rotors.
Track-Proven Design: Why we chose a slotted design over cross-drilled to ensure better gas escape and long-term durability under track conditions.
Perfect Compatibility: Designed to mount right up to your existing big brake kit, these are compatible with the R32, R33, and R34 chassis.
Interested in these rotors?
I developed this kit for my own personal R32 build to solve the fitment and performance issues I encountered with other budget brake kits. I am currently gauging interest for future production runs—leave a comment below if you want a set for your Skyline! splracing.myshopify.com

If you’re struggling to clear 17" wheels like the Volk CE28 or NISMO LMGT4, this video demonstrates why proper CAD-engineered brackets outperform 'universal' off-the-shelf solutions. We weigh the calipers, test clearance gaps, and look at the long-term impact on your drivetrain.
What’s Inside This Technical Comparison:
The 17" Wheel Fitment Test: Real-world clearance testing on Volk CE28s.
The Weight Penalty: Exactly how much unsprung mass the Akebono 'pig' adds per side.
Engineering Red Flags: Why cheap adapters can cause uneven pad wear and safety risks.
The 7075-T6 Advantage: Why aircraft-grade aluminum is non-negotiable for track-driven GTRs.
Consumable Math: How 370Z sport rotors save you the 'GTR Tax' at the track.

If you live in a hot desert climate like Arizona, dust, pollen, and monsoons can clog your filter quickly. In this video, Madison shows her newer generation Mazda 6 with over 90,000 miles on the original filter! Look at how much dirt and debris was choking the system, causing excessive fan noise behind the glove box and restricting the air. Swapping it out instantly gave us 3X more airflow and clean, fresh air.
Don't pay dealership prices ($60-$100+) for a job you can do yourself for a fraction of the cost!

The factory OEM rubber bushings break down, dry out, and crack over time. This leads to excessive transmission slop during spirited driving. This cheap upgrade adds immediate rigidity to your drivetrain, delivering a much more direct, mechanical, and responsive shifter feel.
We walk you through the entire step-by-step DIY installation process from underneath the car, show you what tools you need, and take it out for a real-world driving test and review to see if this simple mod is actually a game-changer for your manual transmission.

If you live in a hot climate like Arizona, you know how brutal the front cabin gets. Modern SUVs come with factory tinted rear glass, but the front windows and massive windshield are completely bare—leaving your arms and legs roasting while you drive.
To fix this, we head down to Clear Choice Designs to install a 70% nano-ceramic windshield tint, a dark sun strip visor, and 20% front side windows to match the rear privacy glass. Donnie and Gary walk us through the high-end plotting process, how they heat-shrink the film to fit the curved glass, and how they handle "fingers" during installation.
Stick around for the immediate driving test in 95°+ weather to see the honest, unfiltered results of how well this film rejects heat and whether it's worth your money.
