They do have less bottom end power and less torque over entire power band. But they will make the HP pretty easily as their original 255/257. In most stock scenarios, people hardly notice a difference in the bottom end power

Get out the foam stuff the best you can, could use panel bond inside. The foam is what causing them to start rusting near the gas door 🥲

They are awesome! So scarce around where i live (rust belt) like none left

Absolutely buddy! Here to help

You can order the same oil pan for the 2009 outback and it will fit the same no problem

You would not be disappointed in the luansport, have their kit for a coupe. Great quality

2007

They are sweet, They can be great little track cars too with some basic stuff

@@TheSubieSanctuary Indeed!

They are super cool and pretty fun

Thank you!

Thanks! The manual ones are also very rare here.

Same owner still has the car, rockers and repairs are still 100% He doesn’t winter drive it. When should we expect it to start rotting?

Carpet, floor mats, steering wheel were new. Rear seats steam cleaned, front seat bolsters were cleaned and each plastic was washed before install. I can only fit some much of the 370hrs into 10 mins. Its all in previous vids though

Thats a good question! No it is not factory, im unsure where he got it from but i also really like it myself. He said the brand is “liberal areo” I have a 05 legacy wagon myself, I want one too

I got it from some guy who came up to me years ago and said something along the lines of “I ordered this from Japan, my car got written off before it got here, I’d like you yo have it” but I insisted he let me pay for it. Super nice guy, no idea where to find them now, but it was apparently shipped in from Japan. There is also someone in western USA that was making a wing that looked very similar, but I can’t find the link right now

Absolutely! Even if you used the pink sti injectors or the dark blue 255/257 injectors youd easily be able to hit 270-280whp after a tune

@@TheSubieSanctuary so I dont need to hook up the avcs

That carpet was a nightmare to try and get it decent. It did tone down a lot after the black floor mats. It worked out nice in the end

It was a rad touch with the oem red but adding metallic and pearl. Super cool

Thats awesome! Glad the vid will help get you and car back on the road! Come back if you have any questions as you go.

@@TheSubieSanctuary that is very generous of you to offer. I saw in this video it didn't look like you swapped the driver's side cam gear or crank gear from original engine. Can you explain why that wasn't necessary in this swap? Also, is a new timing belt generally a good idea and where/how would I find the right belt for my swap EJ20? Is it the same belt on many EJs? Is it something I can get easily, like a Subaru parts dept or other retailer? Thanks in advance. I do see in a previous question about timing kit, you said: "if your 205 comes with oil cooler then you’ll order timing kit for 02-07 wrx and if your 205 comes without oil cooler then you’ll order timing kit for 08-14 wrx"

@@poneil this jdm 205 was a 32 bit ecu type engine, going into a 32 bit ecu type car. No need to swap cam or crank gears, they are the same. Also, yes follow the timing belt types depending on with or without oil cooler.

@@TheSubieSanctuary ok, one more question :) my '04 FXT is an automatic. isn't there a cam/crank gear swap necessary if the donor 205 wasn't an automatic? thank you!

@@poneil they are all the same even if auto vs manual among all subarus that were originally 255 or 257. If you think you need to change cam or crank gear on your jdm engine then you are getting the wrong engine and will have bigger issues then just the cam and crank gear. Like the cam shafts, and machining the cyl heads to accept 32 bit cam angle sensors. Be sure to buy the jdm 205 with the plastic intake manifold, same as we used in the video. The jdm 205 with the cast aluminum intake manifold is a huge mission to get going in replace of a 255 or 257

Ya i though it was pretty cool getting this! Especially in stock 😳

A few reasons why a 2.0 block and 2.5 heads would be more difficult and more $ defeating to purpose of a $1k engine swap. As far as I know, 2.5 block and 2.0 heads will work but not so much the other way around. Hope that helps, we also have an 08-14 wrx how to swap vid with this same engine. Its the same process just different visuals

@@TheSubieSanctuary ok so will i have to tune it after i am in ny no cel is mandatory lol

@@johnsondominique57 for the 08-14 wrx you will need the ej20Y engine because it has the air pump. You will have no codes, it is recommended to get a tune though for sake of displacement and timing. It can be tuned with a cobb ap or done via opensource or ecutek.

@@TheSubieSanctuary ok thanks for ur quick replies

@@TheSubieSanctuary ive been looking and all the ej20 close to me says ej20x with secondary air pump what is the difference with the Ej20x and ej20y

We used a jdm “ej20y” they typically are found in japanese 08-14 wrx’s they do come twinscroll, you can use the twinscroll stuff but that requires twinscroll downpipe. We used the domestic sti’s exhaust and turbo in this swap.

@@TheSubieSanctuary yea my interest would basically do the engine of the last final edition of VA JDM EJ20 with the twinscroll into the left hand car. with the twin scroll. I can imagine there's a good reason why it must be so much better but i wonder if that requires ecu, electric or any other issue with it. that would be a nice project you could do.

@@dwori the jdm va 207 with twinscroll would work in our usdm va sti without issue on our usdm ecu. Just need a tune. Those engines are typically half the price of a va sti. Still too new to be affordable, but the 207’s are unbeatable in reliability and rev range

Yes but also no. Whats a floor and rockers? We’ve replaced unibody’s under these 😳

The are a great set “tein flex z” all teins are unfortunately green 🥲 and your right they are a bit of a clash underneath. I do have some never used custom made fortune autos (all black) but I plan on saving them for my coupe build

They have not been produced for over 10 years. This may be one of a few of them left
