After long deliberation and a lot of research on my Subaru Conversion, I received this engine transmission combination in the mail from Alberta, BC. It's a Naturally aspirated SOHC Subaru 2.5 litre out of an Impreza TS (2003) with 118K miles. I was able to get the transmission and ecu from the same car. The tranny is a 5mt with hydraulic clutch.
I tried the donor car approach on Copart and kept getting outbid for what I wanted to pay. In the end I went direct on ebay so I could get the exact engine year I wanted and I did not have a hulk sitting in the driveway for the neighbors to look at. I paid more than I wanted ($1,574 with shipping) to but in the end , you get what you pay for. Related Threads: Decision to Subarize or not to Subarize Engine Choices Poll on Best Engine Choices The plan is to change the head gaskets, check the condition of the clutch, and convert the transmission to front wheel drive. Any other suggestions on the engine? Anyone know it that's a push or pull style clutch? Looks like a push from the photo. Ian, I will be needing your help once you are up and running.

Looks great. That's not a bad deal really if it included shipping. The timing belt is probably due...It's not hard. If you're doing the head gaskets you have to take it off anyway. Might as well replace it.
That looks like a push clutch to me, just like mine. BTW don't be fooled into thinking you need to match the clutch MC and slave sizes. You have a 3/4 slave...but you DO NOT want a 3/4 master unless you have really strong legs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Kent and I have already learned that one. 5/8 is the way to go. We used Honda Civic MC's. The 3/4 master was too stiff. |

I will probably take a chance that I won't need a rebuild. |
