Aaron, I have a 2002 EJ25 in my 1985 weekender and I can assure you that this engine should do everything you want it to. 165 HP is a great improvement. I installed 15" steel wheels and it rides great. Second gear is a whole new ballgame.

(of course i'll email him eventually, but i'm asking y'all first) does anyone have any beta on this kind of engine install? it's not really a tiico. i'm curious about ground clearance, vibration, problems with the 50 deg angle, his description of the oil suck issue, etc. i really want a subaru, but maybe this is a better option? thanks. aaron '87 syncro gl |
