I'm just getting finished up on my install of a '99 Phase II EJ25 out of an Impreza 2.5RS, with mostly RMW hardware (adapter, exhaust, coolant mount, etc). Fired it up for the first time last weekend! Got a few bugs, but went well for the most part. As I'm sure everyone will tell you, the wiring harness is the biggest PITA. But its doable. If you are not patient or not very experienced doing this kind of work, its worth it to have an expert do the harness. I'm over in the V-Couv, so if you want to take a look at everything as it is in my van, you are more than welcome. Let me know and we can set something up. Good luck.

Hi guys,
I've heard about this group for a few years, but only just up and joined as a swap is imminent!
I've gone ahead and got the RMW kit as it seems really complete and pretty well made - I've dealt with them on some other stuff and met some people that had swaps done there as well and all good things to say...
Located a Motor, ECU and harness locally [Portland, OR] out of a 99 Legacy. (Not a donor car, I'm just getting these parts) I understand this is a phase 2 motor - anyone have any experience with one of these good bad or otherwise?
Am I missing anything major here? Seems like it's going to be reasonably straightforward. [Famous last words]
Cheers all!
