outbackwagon96

well i do not have a 2.2 and its getting rebuilt for a pretty good price. from a friend of mine who owns an engine shop. so i am not going to complain.

its just gonna be a daily drive man not a racecar lol

im new to Subaru's im having my 2.5 dohc rebuilt in the near future i bought it as a "knocker" is there an upgrade for the oil pump? i am seeing on here that the 7mm is not a good idea?

can i swap the auto out for a manual in my 96 outback? what all is involved?

eye candy on the headers, got brand names to look for? ive been looking on ebay and they all say 97 and up will that fit a 96? im a total newby when it comes to things on these cars and interchangability also if i go putting a header and full exhaust on there, what do i do about the tune?

im no stranger to cars im just from the otherside of the mountains so to say, v8 land, so i dont know what these little motors "like". i was unsure of porting without doing anything else such as bumping compression etc, didnt want to shoot myself in the foot by giving up all low rpm grunt as well. this is the 1st 4 banger ive played with. id like to do an STI/WRX swap of sorts but holy cow! $

what is a good way to get a few extra ponies out of the 2.5? ive got a 96 outback and dont want a race car or anything i just want it to be a little peppy. i bought it with a rod knock getting motor rebuilt and would like to know what a couple things i could have done, cams? a header? also its an auto:-\ would like to 5 speed swap it though

hi im scooter, just picked up a 96 outback with a blown 2.5 looking to rebuild this one as used ones are scarce in my area. is there an area on the forum for interchanges? IE wrx/sti motor swaps 2.2 swaps etc etc
