  1. HVAC - Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning
    Hello all, I recently purchased my 2006 Forester X 2.5 from a used car dealer. It's currently on 146,000 kilometers, and has a full service history (Which I'm really happy with.) One of the conditions of me buying the car was that it had to have the A/C re-gassed as it was blowing warm...
  2. Motor Conversions
    My junkyard is selling a running 2.5 SOHC from a 2010 Legacy for $500. Is this engine compatible in my 2010 Forester with SOHC so long as I swap the usual things over from my engine? I’ve read that the 2010 Legacy 2.5 shortblock is completely different and uses a CVT instead of the 4EAT and is...
  3. Engine and Exhaust
    Hey guys, I'm wanting to get a bit more sound out of my car (2004 2.5X) without spending too much. I want to replace my rear muffler and leave the rest pretty standard (also don't want to get defected for being too loud) so I bought a blitz cannon on Facebook marketplace for a good deal and...
  4. EJ25 - 2.5L Non-Turbo (1998-2010)
    Hello All, I’m new to the forum here and it seems like you’ve got some really knowledgeable people on here that might be able to help me out. I had the head gaskets go out on a 2002 Forester with the 2.5 SOHC after part of the radiator blew out and the engine got super hot. I replaced the...

  6. Motor Conversions
    So.. I have a 2006 with the 2.0 and a 5 speed manual. I dont know much about Subaru's, as this is my first one. I paid $1,800 for the car originally with 165k miles almost rust free and the previous owner had put $400+ into front end parts (balljoints, struts, wheel bearings, brakes, etc.) I...
  7. Europe
    Hi, So my Stage 1 Exedy clutch is on the way out now I have upgraded the engine it has a few too many torques for the Exedy... If I go for a 'proper' drive, and use full power, it gets a bit burning clutch smell when I stop :rolleyes: I'm obviously only driving it softly for the time being...
  8. EJ25 - 2.5L Turbocharged (2004-2013)
    So the mechanic checked the left bolt and the turbo head bolt. No filters/screens. 3rd bolt will require more work and may pursue it another time. Bolts don't match the ones discussed here so seems a previous owner swapped them out? After oil and fluid changes the turbo "honk" I describe on...
