What years & models of 2.5 engines will fit in a 1999 forester? I found a 1999 with a blown engine, for next to nothing. If I get this it will be the first time I'd make it out of the 80's, although I did briefly own a 1992 turbo legacy, but I never drove it.

Talk to Rob Zombie, he did it & its really cool. I seen it at the import show at Carlisle a couple of years ago. He dropped a na 2.2 w/ an add on turbo into an ea82 wagon. I think his user name is SubaFreak.

Glen, its turbo mpfi not tbi, each cylinder has its own injector. Humble, How difficult is it to replace the distributor.

Glen, do you mean open throttle. my tb is very worn out & i've pondered replacing it. i bought a complete junk yard ea81t engine about 2 years ago. maybe its time to swap in the other tb. what do you think?

my ea81t developed a difficult to start problem. it pops really loud, then just rotates without starting, until several attempt, then it finally turns over. I can't tell if the pop is electrical or a backfire. I'm leaning more toward electrical. has anyone had these symtoms & what was the fix. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated with soaring gas prices i've left the suburban sit, till prices go back down. It only pops on 1st attempt.

roid....ea81t is by far the most fun to drive old soob I've owned....at all cost - save the turbo....these vehicles are very rare. From what I hear...the 5spd swap makes the ea81t a totally different beast...good luck...if you have any questions...email me....I'll answer them the best I can. stup

Wow! This is an old thread, where'dja find this one? We've had one snowfall here in east central pa this year & only 4".

Old Subarus don't have pickup, you just crawl along at a snails pace....forever. Tune-up may help. In my case, recondition heads and tune-up did it. I wish I had 5spd cuz slush box automatic robs power...may eventually do 5spd conversion. To me its worth saving a 20 year old Turbo-Charged OHV push rod Subaru...cuz there so rare...that was 10,000 miles ago.

Bump, here's is the organizers promo....then click on "2004 East Coast Subaru Shootout is Back" http://www.wandlsubaru.com/en_US/

Nice brat dude!

NY Mud!

It prolly just has a bug, format or reload windows, worst case hard drive is toast. I do several of these a year (side jobs), users don't realize how critical it is to update .dat(s)...they don't even set them to autoupdate. Spybots are just as bad as bugs anymore, they bring new pc's to their knees.

You could do what RobZombie er....SubaFreak did. He dropped an ej in a loyale wagon....its the coolest mod I've seen. He also turbo charged it...yeah thats what I said...tcharged it. I seen it w/ my own eyes at the Carlisle Import/Kit Car Show in May, we had our own tent. Its a na ej w/ a turbo add-on...no special wiring for fuel...just the add-on. Here is some clips from the show. http://home.ptd.net/~mjseidel/show.MPG http://home.ptd.net/~mjseidel/zcarlisleskip.mp2 http://home.ptd.net/~mjseidel/show1.avi You might need a codec to view show1.avi http://www.divx.com/divx/ download the freebe

I would say one of the weirdest things, is our obsession w/ old Subaru's...but anyways. Bushbasher I know what you mean, when I was in college, in my dreams I would sometimes solve syntax errors in a programming project I had been struggling with. My mind would defragment all information from the previous day.

Beaver Springs is about 25 miles NW of Harrisburg, cmon down...er over! Be prepared for some mountainous terrain. I drove through Ohio to go to my sons Ft. Knox military graduation...Cincinnatti to Akron was completely flat...my 1st visit to Ohio.http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=US&countryid=US&addtohistory=&searchtab=address&searchtype=address&address=&city=beaver+springs&state=pa&zipcode=&search=++Search++
