I bought a SBB Pro and was able to program my own keys for my Subarus and Hondas.

 

 

 

it was like $60 at the time. They are a bit more expensive now but still not too bad. If you have to buy a new immobilizer or change a ECU, it will allow me to re-join the keys to the car. Worth the $60.

I bot a XTOOL X100 PAD, which is almost $600CAN. But it does do a lot of other functions.

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.

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.

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.

Subaru engines are not really that reliable. We're not going down this rabbit hole, are we? It's silly to blindly defend their engines. Every F-series Subaru engine suffers from common oil consumption issues as do turbo EJs, and NA EJ's suffer head gasket failure like crazy without any neglect. Every Subaru in my family bar mine has suffered head gasket failure and my shortblock burned a quart every 500 miles by 200K.

 

 

 

OP may have neglected their car, maybe bought a neglected car, sure, but it's silly to turn the other cheek to the problems Subaru engines have.

Nothing is good anymore, like they were 15yrs ago.

Hello everyone,

 

 

 

I have an idea on the order of thing on what I need to do, but given I'm now dealing with a turbo motor and dual AVCS system, I might need your help on servicing these gears. I'm on a limited budget and these gears are not cheap.

 

.

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

Is it a turbo or non turbo?

Turbo has bucket and shim, non turbo has adjustable lash.

Compression test, or my favorite, leakdown test.

Common causes of low compression in Subaru

Valve lash to tight

Dropped valve guide

Bad valve or valve seat

Failed piston or rings

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

I need to sell my precious DP and pay for at least one of the two aftermarkets I just bought lol.

Hey Guys

 

 

 

Bumping this thread

 

 

 

What are the replacement options for this part now ?

 

 

 

I assume the AVO is discontinued

 

 

 

Anyone has a part number for the original I can't seem to find it anywhere

 

 

 

Thanks

You can buy JDM parts from them
