SolidFish Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I am not in market for doing any engine upgrades (except maybe an intake) but I keep coming across this "2005 PZEV engine" in the forums. From the looks of it, it seems to be related to adhering to stricter emissions. Kostamojen gave links to the differences with the following links: If you have a PZEV 2005 motor, it will look like this: http://media.automotive.com/evox/sti...5/5es-4/50.jpg If you have a non-PZEV 2005 motor, it will look like this: http://media.automotive.com/evox/sti...5/4sa-4/50.jpg Perhaps I'm not very observant, but what exactly is the difference? Only thing significantly noticed was a component sitting between the raditor and motor on the PZEV. Also it seems the wiper resevior location is also a bit different, but is there something specifically I could look for? And are there performance differences between PZEV/non-PZEV? Thanks!

meier motor sports Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 there is an air pump jubber sitting over by the ac pump. left side of the engine bay inbetween the motor and radiator as you stated. that is for your catless up pipe that uses air injection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osei Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Unless your engine was originally purchased in a state that required it, you don't have one. see www.cars101.com for list. See how many O2 sensors you have. If three, non pzev. If 5 pzev. there are other differences, but that is the most outstanding one. The pzev had one before and after each cat and a fifth after the Y cat. O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pansontw Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 According to the picture, my 2.5i wagon should be classified as PZEV. However, I bought my car in UT which is not on the list for PZEV states. Maybe the owner of that dealership is a green guy??? Really hope my car is not PZEV, thn I canl mod the header immediately.

meier motor sports Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 post a pic of your engine. also if pezv there should be a sticker on your car saying so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidFish Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 I think relying on where you bought the car might not be accurate. These days, cars get transfered between dealers all the time don't they? I bought my car in Colorado but it came from a Subaru dealership in Texas...

meier motor sports Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 right. if you got it in CA., NH., VT., ME., or MA, it is going to be pzev. if you got it some where near CA., NH., VT., ME., or MA it might be pzev. any where else and it still might be pzev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayMitch2.5i Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 i pretty sure. you can tell by the way it looks, and if you take a look at the headers they'll be equal length single ports with 4 o2 sensors in them. None pzev 05 motors i think were still unequal and have dual port headers. My motor is an 05 pzez and you can tell that there dif http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=34865&d=1175896054 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
