jovver Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 While I had the engine out of my '06 OB 2.5i I noticed that it is secured to the cradle via the puck like water filled mounts that Subaru used for a few years. My question is when they fail (which they tend to do over time) am I able to swap on the the older square style mounts? Do all EJ25x engines use the same mounts?

Rhitter Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Yes, I swapped mine out for the group n engine mounts. Which look like the older style ones. http://www.infamousperformance.net/servlet/the-121/Group-N-Motor-Mount's/Detail My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jovver Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Perfect. I think I may try to get a hold of some stock square style ones as I don't really have a need for stiffer group N mounts. Thanks a ton for the quick response! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybadger43 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 My 2005 Outback had the one piece plastic mounts shown in the top pic. I was an idiot and broke both when I removed the engine. (They tend to break when you leave the bolt in and use an engine hoist) I switched mine for the older STi style Group N 2 piece mount. The benefit I can see is the steel bracket looks stronger than the plastic and the rubber portions can be purchased from Rock Auto for $20 each brand new. As long as you have the steel brackets it's a very cheap upgrade over stock mounts. They bolted directly up and fit perfectly with no issues when the engine was re-installed. Highly recommended if you have to take an engine out anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jovver Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Awesome, thanks for confirming that! I will add them to my list of parts to compile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
