EJ205 swap guys - few questions

[Thor294]

1) what radiator did you use? I'm reading the 1st Gen turbo radiators work well

 

2) does the AC compressor on the 205 work fine with our lines? My car has a 2.2 if that changes anything

I am not 100% sure on either but with the A/C lines, there are tons of variants even for cars built a couple months apart, so the originial ones in your car may not work but there's nothing to say you can't find the correct lines from a junkyard car. The routing for the A/C lines on subarus are all pretty much the same but the fitting on the ends of the lines changed a lot.

That's what I noticed from pictures. I'll see once I get it all done. Don't need AC to run the car anyway!
