SKID IT Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Hey all, Just needed some info about the outback EJ and the liberty EJ. My liberty engine is stuffed so I got a replacement engine out of a later model outback, problem I have is there is a plug missing from the newer engine to go to the existing loom on the liberty. Its the brown plug that goes into the main loom, the outback engine hasn't got one. Can I get around this or would I have to chase another 05 liberty engine? Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Not sure in Aus but here in the US there were major ECU and head changes from 05 to 06 The biggest one being the Active Vaviable Valve Lift on the 06....and also I believe that was the swap to the Deadhead Fuel rail rather than looped/return. And IIRC the first "Drive by wire" throttle body. Pretty big differences.........you could swap heads and pistons to make the shortblock work.....(can't use the AVVL pistons with non AVVL heads......Piston is domed and AVVL head is domed to match) Edited April 26, 2014 by Gloyale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKID IT Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Thanks for the heads up mate, looks like I'll be heading back to the search for another engine ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
