They should but with that small sidewall the ride won't be so nice. Larry

Get the Factory wiring, sometime you can find them online. Load, Ground Power Once you have all three located you can test the circuit. I've stripped a few cars of your vintage, if my memory serves me correctly, all the wiring runs down the passenger side door frame, lower rail. I believe there is a main connector up at the passenger side front kick panel as well. Find a good diagram, otherwise your just chasing your tail. You have done some good testing so far. Good Luck, Larry

Did you check voltage with the fan connected or disconnected? If Disconnected you meter can lie to you. Check out Load Pro on you tube. You will find numerous videos Dan Sullivan has done on properly checking voltage. - Seeing Voltage in the connector you have ruled out: 1) Opens 2) Shorts You need to check the circuit under load (fan connected) or using the Load Pro to rule out high resistance.

I take it you are talking y-pipe to Cat? Take it a part and inspect it. You can grind any high spots down, bend the tabs until they pull well. If you get it flat a single gasket should work.

Good things come to those who wait.

Thanks

If you want to sell it let me know. I'm in Colorado Springs and work on Subaru's for fun. Thanks Larry I have an 05 OBS with a rebuilt engine that's ready to go.

Not that hard to change, but expect a full day under the car if it's your first one. Search torque bind you will find some great write ups.

It's an pretty simple electrical circuit with a few connections. Open, Short or High Resistance is the only faults you can have in a circuit. Power on check is the best check you can do but harder to do. Easy stuff, have the shop open and clean the main trans connectors.

Easy or hard to change? Thanks, Larry

The question is what will it cost you to buy it back from the insurance company. It does not look to bad, if you could post pics of the engine compartment and frame rails... we could tell you more. In parts it's worth the most unless someone wants to put it on the road as a personal Subaru.

Subaru engine will airlock if not filled and burped properly. Why did you change those parts? Was it overheating before the change? Did you rule out Head Gaskets? Look in your overflow bottle, is there black oily stuff in there? If so your HG are most likely gone. 2.2 swap is a great option.

Get a nice 98-99 Subaru outback with a bad 2.5 DOHC engine and do the 2.2 swap. You will be in a newer car and love the engine.

95 2.2

2.2 or 2.5? When was the timing belt and Idler gears and water pump done last. I'd start by pulling the two t-belt end covers and see if the cams line up correctly. If not its a timing issue. You can bend valves so turning by hand is a great idea.

There are two 12mm bolt holes in the and the backs as well. You can drive the bolts in to break the rust.

http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/157364-99-outback-22-swap-random-p0325-p0303/ Always a good idea to search the Form and see what you find. I think the link above will help you out. Good Luck, Larry

Yes, it will bolt right up. Make sure the vac lines on the top are the same. If so you are good.

New knock sensor on order. I swapped in a used one, that ohm out correctly. New one going in and a seafoam treatment.

I did the engine swap a couple of years ago. Sold it to a fellow at work. He had the knock sensor P0325 & misfire on #3 P0303 pretty random for over a year. I suggested the normal: NGK Copper Plugs NGK Spark Plug Wires Gave him a knock sensor to put on gave him a set of fuel injectors to swap in He wanted to sell the car, so I got it back. He had not followed my advice on the NGK plugs and wires so I installed a set and drove the car for a couple of weeks. I sold it to another family friend the they drove it for over a month before the P0325 & P0303 codes came back. There is a slight miss, but over all runs well. About 210K mileage, 5sp. I have not adjusted the valves or taken a compression test. Other things? Thanks, Larry

Stay away from the turbo versions. Nothing but more work and less reliability IMHO.

Pics attached. The rear small hole is where the push plug goes in for the door sill plastic trim. The large hole is the one I cut in with the hole saw. Hope this helps someone down the line.

yes a 2,5 hb will work fine.

Get the key welded in by a quality welder. You'll be fine.

Yes, the crank gear has to be removed to get a new key in!
