idosubaru Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 No - EJ18's are not interference. EJ18's were available after 95 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets about 26 MPG and it's pretty petty. Granted the BRAT is light, but I have no problems scooting around even with engines and other stuff loaded in the back.

I drive around town and take highway trips with the car. It drives okay, but seems like it should be a bit better. Right now it's only annoying starting out from a stop. It's really sloooow getting up and going. If I floor it, it just slowly goes from a stop. Once it's going it's fine. Have the EGR code and the AT light flashes, presumably because I swapped AWD to FWD. i swapped the TCU but i think the wiring pin still indicates that it's an AWD.

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) the EJ18 wasn't made after 95 AFAIK What years were they available? I thought they stopped after 95 That is Just in the USA Market... here are Still Available the EJ15, EJ16 and EJ18 in the imprezas... This is a Poor Quality Picture, taken with my CellPhone, but you can see the 1.6 in the Back of this new impreza: (and a Nice Legacy Behind) For Example, here a 2000 year impreza with EJ15: http://www.todoautos.com.pe/f49/subaru-impresa-ej15-51409.html and a EJ16 Legacy: http://www.todoautos.com.pe/f49/vendo-subaru-legacy-1600cc-50358.html Edited February 22, 2009 by Loyale 2.7 Turbo Center image ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
