Sucks man. Sorry to hear this, seemed like you were on a good track.

[RumblyXT]

Yeah, I’m not sure what happened. I had just done an engine oil & filter change.

Car had all new vacuum lines, PCV, fuel lines, etc.. it’s not like I was flooring it either..

With these cars, when it’s not a H/G it’s a rod bearing, or the turbo.. 

I love the brand, but these things are certainly a big deterrent. Oh well..

Well at least I got to own and experience one of these turbo motors. Can’t really say I didn’t enjoy it..

Looking for an ‘08-‘09 Outback 3.0 now, but they’re difficult to find

Price lowered, great car for a project..

Bump!

Guys, since I already have the USDM motor with all its Cam Gears, sensors, etc.. what do you guys think about this eBay JDM ej20X?

Would I have to tear the dash and remove the dash harness to send it to iwire or it would just be the engine harness? 

I'm trying to think for a possible solution before getting rid of the car.. your comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Don’t want to give up on the car, since I’ve worked so much on it already..

 It’s not easy to troubleshoot over a forum. I’d try to find help local to you, whether it’s a shop or someone that could look it over and give you solid advice. I certainly wouldn’t want to encourage you to spend more money on an older car if that’s not the right advice, risk/reward.

I decided to keep the car and fix it.

Admins, please close this thread if needed.
