nidgep Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 been looking at various parts for my car recently and in some circumstances it seems a bit confusing as to what model/year/BHP my car is supposed to be. Hoping that one of you knowledgeable guys can help me out. The car is a November 2004 (54) Forester 2.5XT. From the first part of the VIN JF1 SG9 KD35G Which I understand to mean. JF1 = Passenger car, Fujitsu Heavy Industries SG9 S = Forester G = Wagon 9 = Displacement 2.5L AWD KD3 K = Steering position = Right hand drive D = Engine and transmission = DOHC turbo Full-time AWD 5-speed MT 3 = Drive = Full-time AWD Single range G G = Model year = 2005MY Engine type: EJ255 Based on the above is the car and early 230 hp or a late 211 hp engine/car? When looking for parts, what should I be stating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Should be 230bhp on yours, When looking for parts 90% of sg parts will be the right ones, if unsure email your reg no to the supplier, and alot of the impreza stuff of the same year fits too 🖒 Impirt car parts are always good on the phone if you get stuck Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nidgep Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Thanks again @stants - I'll remember the tip on ICP. Is that a given on the bhp vs engine code? All EJ255 turbo engine codes = 230bhp Is there anything else that can be checked to confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
