Can you engine swap Subaru?
Let us first say, there are no truly easy Subaru swaps and every swap has it’s own challenges. A lot of work goes into any swap. There are wiring changes, mount changes, mechanical changes, etc and these all depend on what engine and chassis are going to be used.
How do you swap an engine in a Subaru?
To do this swap the steps are as as “simple” as, pull the engine from the chassis, swap the cross member, put the new engine in, hook up power steering, AC, exhaust, and radiator. Assuming the wiring harness is sent to us, it would just plug back into the chassis and the new engine and the car is done.
What kind of engine does a 1999 Impreza Sport have?
Manual transmission. Must I only find a donor from a 1999 with the L badge, or does the 98 fit as well (both years were DOHC if memory serves me right) Another example: There’s a 2003 Outback Impreza Sport that I found. Blown engine beyond repair.
What kind of engine does an outback Impreza Sport have?
Another example: There’s a 2003 Outback Impreza Sport that I found. Blown engine beyond repair. Manual transmission again. Can I only take from 2003, or would other years work too? I found one for $1500 rebuilt, but this is way out of my price range for what I would already presumably have into the car after purchasing it.
What kind of engine does a Subaru GC use?

Can a 2009 Subaru Impreza be swapped with a 2010 Forester?
I’ll probably have it running tonight but as far as I can tell a 2009 Subaru Impreza engine is a direct swap to a 2010 Forester as long as you swap the wiring harnesses, keep your original wiring harness with the engine. Did you ever get it running? I have an 09 forester that needs an engine.
What kind of engine does a 2009 Subaru Impreza have?
I ended up finding a 2009 Subaru Impreza sport wagon that had just had the timing belt and heads done to it but got smashed up and I purchased it for $800 both ej25 blocks. The engine itself out of the 09 Impreza was a direct swap. I plugged it in cranked it over but it didn’t start.
Is there an engine swap for a Subaru Impreza?
I have called a few dealerships to try and figure it out and have really only been given full engine swap info (08-11 Impreza, 09-13 Foresters). Which I have not had any luck finding in any of the salvage yards in my state.
Is the Subaru Impreza hatchback a life threatening car?
Instead, Subaru continued to sell cars with a serious engine defect, to which they knew about, which could be life threatening under certain circumstances. Prior to this incident, I planned on making this car last me another 10 years, at which time I would purchase only one more vehicle prior to retiring.
This group of chassis has the most options for an engine swap because you can stick with cable throttle or you can upgrade to a drive by wire platform. Another set of good options would be DBW 2.5 liter models like USDM 06-07 WRX, USDM 04-07 STi, or USDM 04-08 Forester XT.

What’s the difference between the’95 Impreza and’95 legacy?
The ’95 Impreza 1.8 5-speed was still OBD1; ’95 Impreza EJ22 + 4EAT was OBD2. The ’95 Legacy was all OBD2 – I think, but its ECU tuning/wiring was bit different than the ’96-’98 Subarus.
