Hey group been a minute since ive posted. I have a customers 06 LLbean forester 2.5 NA engine. Its having an issue where sometimes it will crank ( normal speed) but not start. The weird thing is If you put a jumper pack or charger on it it starts right up. I swapped in a different battery before i did the swap but that didnt seem to change anything It doesnt seem to matter how long the car has sat but temp might have an issue. I just put a 50-60k JDM engine in the car and had hoped that with the engine swap the start issue would go away. when we installed the engine yesterday it fired right up and then an hour or so later when i went to run an errand but today. Hope someone here has seen this and can shed some light on the issue. Thanks, Craig

Hey guys, I picked up an 05 Forester XT with a blown 2.5 engine with the avcs set up. I know there is a JDM 2.0 turbo with avcs that will replace it but does anyone know about using a non avcs 2.0 turbo engine and doing some tune or delete trick so that the ECU insn't looking for the AVCS stuff. I would like to run the more reliable 2002-2003 wrx stuff. Thanks Craig

Hello i have a question that some of you might be able to answer. I have a couple customers 99 foresters that i just installed JDM 2.0 SOHC engines. After test driving them and getting them up to temp i noticed that the radiator hoses have a decent amount of pressure in them. You can still squeeze the hose but you cant squeeze it enough to get the sides of the hose to touch. On my 99 outback with a phase 1 2.2 i can drive it the same distance/temp and the hose has almost no pressure in it when warmed up. Ive never paid much attention to hose pressure unless there's an overheating issue. Just wondering what the difference might be

I haven't gotten too far with this project but I already found one difference: The spark plug tubes are about an 1/8 shorter on the 2011 engine. When you go to bolt the valve covers down you are really squishing the spark plug tube seal against the valve cover. Ill take some pics once i get the 2011 engine out and see if there are other differences.

Hello group, I have a friends 2011 outback with a N/A 2.5 that needs an engine. I have a low mileage 2008 JDM N/A 2.5 engine that i wondered would fit. The valve covers will need swapped so that the coil packs will have somewere to bolt. There is also the obvious peripherals like the intake that i will need to swap. Any help is appreciated, Craig

Really these engines are all junk from the get go. They have bad ring failures, AVLS sensor failures and the original crappy headgaskets that subaru has been putting on the engines since 99. They are over designed and under engineered. I see tons of these engines failing around 90K. After 05 subarus quality dropped off and the cars have tons of issues.

I agree that these transmission are bullet proof. Most 95-2004 subarus go to the junk yards with their original trasnmissions. In 14 yrs of subaru repair i have only replaced ones that were abused and broke the ring and pinion gears... oh and one that the trans-cooler lines broke and they kept driving it with no fluid.
