Engine swap help

[Marcus04]

Would I be able to just drop an ej25 in my blobeye?

First thought is no because the wiring loom(possibly) and ecu will be different. Not sure to what extent.

Ej25 what? And what is currently in your blobeye?

EJ25 is the 2.5l lump, the blob originally comes with the 2l (EJ20) lump.

Why are you wanting to put a 2.5 in?

2.5 will be drive by wire so loom is different. You can swap the bottom ends but then your looking at alot of making sure things match, like head gasket thickness etc. Very good mod, but def a case of best to build/spec from crank up, mismatched parts and it will be crap.

 

Also standard 2.5 its pretty !Removed! and suffers from head gasket and ring land failure. Built right they are prob the best subaru engine you can get though
