Twyztidmind Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Ok heres the story, he let his GF drive it last night and i guess she went through a flooded road and it hyrdo locked (im assuming) Intake was drenched inside, and the motor is now locked up. What year of engines are the same as the 2.5I, just the 05-07 or can we use an older 2.5?? TIA.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout8488 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I believe 06-09 engines will work. 05 and older do not have the AVCS that his 07 does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jton Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 just finished replacing the motor in mine. carpart.com look for an ej253. look in your area for "SOHC - ISO 173 hp (129 kW) @ 5600 rpm, 166 ft·lbf (225 N·m) torque @ 4000 rpm. Intake volume is regulated by use of a MAF sensor, unlike the EJ251 which is regulated by a MAP sensor. I-Active valves (VVT intake side) on 06+ models. Impreza 99, 05+ Legacy, Outback USA 05+ Forester 99, 05+ Baja 05+ Saab 9-2x Linear 05, 06" I got one out of an 07 impreza with 30k for 1300. Install was pretty easy if you are mechanically inclined. also I can give you the factory service manual in pdf form so it walks you through the install. - if you wanna do it yourself. i got quotes upwards of 4k to fix mine.

Take out the plugs, spray a bunch of oil into each hole, turn over for a while, replace plugs and give it a try:lol: Make sure you remove the air cleaner since it is probably soaked and drain and replace the oil first.

musty_hustla Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 The motor may not be toast. Take out the plugs, spray a bunch of oil into each hole, turn over for a while, replace plugs and give it a try:lol: Make sure you remove the air cleaner since it is probably soaked and drain and replace the oil first. Yea do that... more clearly 1. change oil 2. remove plugs 3. turn over engine a few times...hopefully water will be flying 4. let plugs and plug hole dry by sitting for a couple hours (spray hole compressed air if you got it) 5. check to see if plugs still can fire...(optional, fraked plugs will be easy to spot) 6. spray some oil into the plug holes 7. reinstall old plugs or new ones 8. start it up and enjoy the benefits of fixing your buddy's GF's car. 9. Repeat step 1-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
