Interesting. I've had cars sit for over a year and fired right up once a battery is installed. Maybe the ignition immobilizer antena somehow got damaged? The immobilizer system consists of key chip, speedo cluster, BIU, ECU, if any of these are changed, it does exactly as your car is doing. The key is read by the BIU, I'm pretty sure. I have reprogrammed immobilizer on many subaru's. Again, I'd guess maybe ignition antenna. Its the white ring around the ignition where the key goes in. Also check all fuses.

OBXT 2.5 to JDM 2.0 swap
Soobyhobby replied to hamyscj's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Hopefully the AC was discharged. Just for a recommendation to anyone pulling any subaru engine, it's best to remove the PS pump and AC pump from the engine and leave it with the car, so as not to have to disconnect these systems. -
This gets very interesting, it's a DOHC non-turbo. I honestly know nothing about that engine.
-
I guess 1st it should be determined if it's a Turbo engine or NA. Non-turbo does not have Secondary Air Injection

Look at the LH cylinder heads, below the oil filler tube, if you have the AVLS oil solenoid and oil pressure switch, then the engines are compatible. The blue connector is Oil Solenoid, if both engines have this, then you are good to swap.

Yes it will work, you might have to change the intake manifold

It's because the tank is kinda likw 2 compartments due to the driveshaft tunel.

Ringland failure so now wtf
Soobyhobby replied to chadnocaptainchad's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Also ringland failure is very rare in a non turbo, I've actually never seen it in the hundreds of na engines I've worked on. -
2.5 engine swap help
Soobyhobby replied to fiber_tek's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
@fiber_tek Your 1st pic is of the older style PCV where the PCV is screwed into the intake manifold, The 2nd pic is of a 2003ish+ style PCV where the PCV is screwed into the block. The PCV vents can be pulled from the block but it's not necessarily easy, they are pressed in. I have swapped these before. I was thinking of making a jig to pull them out but never did. I am surprised you would have had to change oil pump, and pan. That's odd to me. -

Have you looked into the common issues with any other manufacturers? Nothing is good anymore, like they were 15yrs ago. -
Servicing the Intake AVCS Gears..
Soobyhobby replied to RumblyXT's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
A 2005 EJ255 does not have dual AVCS. Only STI came with dual AVCS in USDM. If your car has dual AVCS, you may have a JDM EJ20X/Y engine, which was a very common engine used to replace EJ255 -
2005 legacy question
Soobyhobby replied to corvairbob's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Is it a turbo or non turbo? Turbo has bucket and shim, non turbo has adjustable lash. -

2004 headlight swap onto 2002 and earlier.
Soobyhobby replied to DanTinIdaho's topic in Legacy Photos (2004 and older)
So it sounds like you put Legacy headlights on an Outback. 2000-2004 Legacy GT and 2000-2004 Outback have split headlights. Share the same assemblies. 2000-2004 regular Legacy has single bulb (dual element) headlights. -
Do you have the JDM control faceplate adapter already? If not, this can be a big issue. Hard to find and expensive

Unfortunately you missed the high prices. Rodium has dropped in half since early summer. DPs have dropped to almost half Sent from my SM-G988W using Tapatalk -
