Re: Looking for a motor SubieVanagon Member Profile All Messages By This Member #84596 That was a generic thing I pulled up on the website. ?At subarupartsdea.com, you put in your vin and it will show the appropriate parts. ? -- Warren 89 Westy? 88 Tintop 70 Westy
Re: Looking for a motor Jake de Villiers All Messages By This Member #84595 Hmm. The Subaru sites say that those part numbers are not appropriate for my 2000 EJ25. Anybody have the correct part number for that? Thanks. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Thu, Apr 3, 2025 at 7:48?PM SubieVanagon via <wklail=[email protected]> wrote: Even better if you’re out that way.?

Re: ECU vs block Wayne Sitarz All Messages By This Member #84594 What water pump do you have?? The 2.5 has a single heater return fitting. The OE 2003 2.0 turbo has 3 fittings.
Re: Warren’s Conversion - Wiring Harness Wayne Sitarz All Messages By This Member #84593 Grey/white is lighting I think. You need ign on (fuse it), battery (post from alt) fuse it, start signal (ign switch to ECU to starter solenoid circuit), CEL, coolant temp, oil pressure , tach (all thru round connector or run another wire). Alt connects to post in black box and to starter lug. Alt light connects to blue in black box. Alt sense wire connects to battery post on alt, battery post on starter or all the way to + post on battery if you want.?
Re: ECU vs block Wayne Sitarz All Messages By This Member #84592 I think you have a 2003 2.5 NA ECU,harness and intake manifold with a swapped 2.0 (JDM?) block if it is stamped EJ20 on the block. Both the 2.5 and 2.0 ECUs look to be 4 connector and interchangeable. If you are looking to get engine parts in the future, the intake and up parts and sensors would be for the 2.5 NA.? I wonder what plugs and gap it's running. Only the 2.0 Turbo was WRX.
Re: Warren’s Conversion - Wiring Harness SubieVanagon Member Profile All Messages By This Member #84591 I’ve used the Smallcar diagram and Tom Shiels pages. ?I’ve identified the Ignition On and Alternator Lamp wires, I think. ?However, what is the gray wire? ? -- Warren 89 Westy? 88 Tintop 70 Westy
Warren’s Conversion - Wiring Harness SubieVanagon Member Profile All Messages By This Member #84590 So I finally got the wiring harness through the firewall and I’m about to embark on connecting it to the main harness. ?I think once the engine is installed it will be easy enough to know what plugs where, but my immediate challenge is figuring out exactly how to connect the harness to the black box in the engine bay. ?I’m still trying to figure out what to remove and what to leave behind. ?My harness was done by AV Subaru Conversions so I know the alternator-to-starter-to-black box harness was to be removed and not used, so that’s been removed. ? The first thing I did was bundle the harness up out of the way while I figure it out. ? ? ? ? This is where I’m a bit confused. ?It can’t be all that bad since there aren’t really that many wires. ?There are two large round plugs and I think one goes to the tail lights, so the other round plug likely plugs into the round plug on the harness. ?I will follow the Smallcar installation guide and see how that works out. ? ? If you would be willing to share some of your knowledge or experience with this part of the conversion, please do chime in!? -- Warren 89 Westy? 88 Tintop 70 Westy

It's 22611-AJ020...
Does that last part imply it is indeed intended for an EJ20?
The original vehicle serial number is written on by hand; it is JF1GD67583H503164 and then also written there is 2003 Imp. RS.25 Aut.
When I look that up on line it says it's a 2.5.
I'm in Canada.?

What would the PN be on the ECU itself (22611-xxxxx kind of number)
? Also what market are you in? different markets have different ways of doing thing. Plus i've seen Subaru ECUs listed for both the 2.0 and 2.5L (mostly non-north American markets)?
? And i'm with Wayne, someone may of used a EJ20 JDM long block as a replacement since they usually are pretty cheap (and low mileage).? the ECU may not be fully happy (at the edge of adaptation limits) but will work either way
