I'm looking at a EJ25 out of a 2005 outback on craigslist. The motor needs new valves above cylinder 3. Since the engine doesn't come with the whole wiring harness for the car what can I do to get the wiring in the BRAT? also before I get too ahead of myself, will a 2005 EJ25 even fit in a BRAT? I'm looking to buy the transmission plate adapter and use the 4-speed in the BRAT until I decide where the car is going to go. Its a EA81 BRAT by the way. Thank you SJ

Is there a build thread on that hatch? SJ

I'm guessing you can't find these anymore? would look great on my brat. SJ

Hope not many people have seen this, have any idea on whats in that BRAT? go to 4 minutes to see the brat. SJ

Hypathetically, my friend, hypathetically SJ

Hypathetically, you could probably never find one? SK

I mean h12 or whatever, I'm just really curious a bout it. Imagine that thing in a SVX or wagon of some sort, I would do that swap if it was realistic. SK

Is there any way we can hear that V12 Subaru? That is a V12 that Loyale 2.7 turbo posted right? SJ

Thank you for the info, i guess i'll go with just getting it running and then decide on getting more HP, I really don't need to make it fast, thats what my WRX if for. I really want to make a show car kinda thing out of the BRAT, just a clean nice running car. SJ

Thank you, I will think about it. SJ

Is that shipped? SJ

I cam across this, not exactly a clear picture, and doesn't really help, but here it is. look straight down where the distributor goes, its snapped right there. SJ

I havent been told anything, I saw it with my own eyes. I can't get you a picture because its not at my house but i will when I get it home. SJ

Does it change the lope at all? anybody have a sound clip? Well if it isnt than it isnt and if it is it is only way to find out is open it, which i hope to do by the first of the year. I'm sure something are salvageable. anyways, I'd like to make the new engine run 10X better and be 10X more reliable than it was before because it never ran well to begin with, I blame it on the guys at the shop not doing it right(this is the second engine the car has seen and whoever installed it the second time didnt seem to know enough). I'll find an engine in time. what other mods can you do to an ea81? just so I can figure out what I want to do, I've heard of swapping a ea82 intake? thanks SJ SJ

I know what I have to do, I'm not a dumba##. I understand, I get it. we can stop taking about what all I have to do until we get to the point of the build. I am going to rebuild my engine if it is salvageable. I wanted to know if they made bigger cams because i think it would be cool to have a cammed ea81 BRAT. I doubt it gain any HP but at least it will sound good. Hell if I end up getting a ea81 that runs I'll probably rebuild it and put a bigger cam in it too, i have new water pump,oil pump, intake,gaskets,radiator piping, radiator, belt, and other parts that i was going to put on the brat before all that happened, that are ready to go on a new engine for a rebuild. SJ

Still didn't answer my question, I'm going to deal with the engine when I get it back. I only asked if I could get a bigger cam and if they made brand new ones? SJ

As most of you know my cam broke in my ea81. I was wondering if there are different size cams for the ea81? and where could I get a new cam for it? also, do they make bigger cams for it so it would lope, like the v8 guys do? I'm not trying to be a v8 guy or anything just think it would be cool to have a bigger cam. thank you for your help SJ

It's ok, I guess Ill save up and get one shipped in. I still need to figure out what all I need. SJ

I called and they want $300 for the engine, but they couldn't get it started so I guess I'm back to square 1. SJ

The body has some rust but over all its in good shape, I almost have everything black on the exterior painted back to oem black. I've been contemplating weather or not to keep the ea81 engine or do the swap and I think i've decided to keep the original and keep it going. i also have a cv axel out and the tranny was constantly leaking oil so I had to add oil every couple of days. I can't explain how excited i am to start working on her again:banana: SJ

^ I have big plans for her coming up at the beginning of the year, i like those headers that were posted earlier, probably get some made at the muffler shop.

Even though mine isn't running, i'll still contribute SJ

I'll call sometime this week. SJ

Ok, I'll give them a call, I just need the engine so if they just will sell the whole thing and not part it out maybe me and you could go in it together and you could take the brat and me just take the engine? SJ

ohh, what year brat is it? ea81? SJ
