?
I have a running ‘05 Impreza (manual transmission) that is mechanically complete but has high miles and questionable history. ?It belonged to a paddler.
I would really appreciate some input on the trouble and expense of working around the Throttle-by-Wire and immobilizer vs just getting another cheap old ‘04 or earlier Subaru 2.5L.
Also while we’re at it, is there value in doing the full installation and then removing the engine to rebuild it? ?Or should I go ahead and rebuild it and just watch my engine temperature? ?I’m gonna go through the cooling system regardless. ?But it seems like it would be less stressful if I was doing the shakedown with an engine that I’m not worried about cooking.
I kinda figure after doing the conversion, pulling the engine back out to rebuild/replace it won’t be that big of a deal. ?Except for the fact that I may not want to spend much more time up under a Vanagon.
Thanks in advance?
