I want to replace my engine which is burning a ton of oil and the short block is approaching 200K mi with no rebuilds. Although I did pull it apart to redo the heads a couple years back. The way I see it I have 3 options: 1. Overhaul my existing block 2. Buy an OEM or "upgraded" short block 3...

My 05 needs a motor, most reliable option for my buck right now is a JDM 202 from a local import shop. Just wondering if anyone has some insight on any known and foreseeable hiccups with the swap. I've been told that the VVT on US turbo motors is an issue when dropping JDM motors into them...

So my main question here is relating to my ability to pass New York yearly OBD2 emission testing. So, I have a 2012 Forester X 5 speed (FB25). It has almost 180K miles and is still going strong for now but at this mileage I know that at some point the engine may decide to quit. If that...

My '08 Forester X has 215k miles and is getting tired. A nice '04 on craigslist caught my attention -- needs engine and it's a turbo. But I take it an engine from '05 to '08 may not fit it. Is this correct? It's an automatic, too, but is it a 4EAT? Harness problems going to a NA? Sorry...

Hello, my rear drum brakes on my 02 Forester L are going out, so I would like to try to replace them with discs. I was wondering if instead of buying a disc kit, I could buy a parts car and use that. The only Forester I could find with discs was a 04 xs, and was wondering if a rear brake swap...

I bought some wheels off of marketplace from a guy clearing out his garage, he also gave me a working 5-speed manual transmission for free. I have been thinking about swapping a 5-speed into my forester for quite some time but i’m not quite sure about any issues with this one. It is a 5MT from a...

I’m fixing a Subaru Forester and need a cluster replacement. It has to be same year? Or it can be from a 2012? I was navigating on eBay and found some available. So if the 2011 Forester, automatic transmission has a 83003sc310 in the label getting one from a Forester same year but in the label...

Hey guys, I recently picked up an EJ205 that I found in good shape and for a good price on FB marketplace. I'd like to swap my high mileage EJ253 with this much lower mileage, better performing EJ205 but could use some help on what can be taken from the 253 and used on the 205. Are the...

Hi everyone, New to this forum, so sorry if this is a bit confusing. I have a 2005 Subaru Forester 2.5X, and the engine completely failed. While I was away, my father purchased a JDM EJ25 to swap into it, and I have no technical knowledge of how to do this. Is this something I can realistically...

Not much documentation out there but would this be plug and play or would i have to swap harness and ECU have a built EJ205 that would have gone into a WRX but looking like it'll be saved for the XT. Otherwise i guess just building a hybrid with the 255 and already built 205 would be the easier...

Hi all, I need a bunch of work done to my 02 fozzie, and I haven’t gotten a quote yet, but I bet that it would cost more than it would to just swap my 2.5 N/A for the 2.0T that came in the jdm car. Is it possible (since it’s still from an sf fozzie, just jdm) to use an ecu from the jdm version...

Long story short, I own an automatic 2009 Forester X with no motor... Still have the intake, harness, and other top stuff. I was wondering if there was a turbo'd Subaru engine that would make for an easy fit? I've done 2 EJ25 direct swaps on 98 legacy's so I feel like I'm somewhat capable, but...

Does anyone know if the fog lights / covers are interchangeable between the 2019-21 and the 2022? Pretty sure the front just got slightly tweaked with the headlights being different but not 100%. Would like to get a pair of the JDM fog covers with the top LED strip.

Will a automatic 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX transmission bolt into a 2009 Forrester? How interchangeable are Subaru
