hey guys after reading up on subaru i might have to add a turbo and an intercooler to my 2000 ej25. anyone know if the heads hold up and what else needed or cheaper way to get my hp?

yeah im back to just finding a running 2.5 from a 00-04 outback.cheaper than machine shop rates and parts

Ok today all timing marks line up , belt looks good no slack , all tensioners look good. so now what check crank and cam sensors?. the noise i first heard im assuming is bottom end damage

ok guys i have a 3/4" impact gun on the harmonic balancer bolt and it wont move.is it reverse thread???

ok im just heading out to do the teardown...off hand does the harmonic balance have to be removed to get al the timing covers off? thanks in advance so i can rent a puller .

sorry that last part about removing the engine could you elaborate

ok so just removing insp. cover is not enought then. ill need to remove the rad and all the timing cover to see if they are worn or broken ?

took the timing belt inspection cover off looks fine and turns when engine turns over

okay last spring my wife was driving it, it made a substantial noise and quit. we had it towed back, a few days later i tried firing it. it sounds like it wants to fire then no start and an occaisonal slapping (bang)sound.

ill take 150 bucks however i wont ship it V0k 1m0

thanks guys..im a newbie to subaru and am learning ...ok the 96 ej 22 wont work in my 2000 outback so ill pull the 2.5 and tear it down to see whats wrong. i already have an add in the local classifieds for 2000-2004 ej 25 out of an outback or a baja...i heard the forester and impreza motors wont work./ anyway ill let ya know if it was wristpin or not. anyone want a low k ej 22 1996? cheap

ok i was told the ej22 was a phase 2...my engine hgas a broken wristpin so unknown damage internally

hello just bought a low k 96 yr ej22 to replace my broken 2.5. the 2.2 is an auto engine and the 2.5 is a 5 speed. will the flywheel work?what in your guys opinion will be my problems if any?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I like phase II 2.5's. They're reliable and powerful. What did you "blow" on it? hey guy i broke a wristpin i can hear a rod slapping against the cylinder wall. the knock sensor cut the motor but its probably hooped.

Hey sorry for the confusion guys ! i found a 2001 ej25 from a manual car running with 180 thou on it for 400 bucks. now of course i want to do arp head studs and gaskets and maybe a timing belt b4 i slap it back in.anything else recomended when doing this swap ?motor mounts im guessing? also does anyone know if could have used a 2002 auto engine?it only had 92000 on it for 5oo bucks.
