Re: Engine transplant, oil
A local yard has a Subaru Legacy FS with 130,000 KM, maybe 90,000 miles.
Is this one too tired to use as a transplant?

Depends on price and condition, I guess. With average maintenance, that engine
probably only has another 100k miles left in it, 150k to 200k if it's had very

Subaru engine prices in NZ
I'm surprised to find that US prices for used Subaru engines are so high,
especially as it seems that you get SOHC versions there.
Here in New Zealand you can get a DOHC EJ20 (Legacy 2.0) for

Re: starting engine
I've taken apart engines that have sat for years, and the parts are not dry. Six months is nothing. I'd just start it.

Subaru Torque
Can anyone comment on the difference in low RPM torque (1500-2500 rpm) between the 2.2 Sub conversion and the standard 2.1L WBX.
Is the Sub better or worse?

Re: Subaru Torque
Every day I reverse up a steep driveway in close quarters. If there was less torque I would not be happy. Subaru 2.2L is noticeably torquier than WBX even at idle.

Hobert will tell you (and did in the instructions) that the automatic

We have not found a difference in the '90-94 computers except part numbers.
Since you have stripped down one harness, take it to a wrecking yard and
find an engine harness that will plug to it, and
