Well I went and looked at the car this evening. Seemed to idle alright, no cel which I thought was odd because they already cut the cat off. When the key is turned on engine off the cel comes up on dash but goes away when engine is started. I'd say rear separator plate is leaking, went for a test drive and got back and smoke just pouring out from under hood oil all over y pipe. Also engine oil was overfull. Looked to be a quart or so. There was a new filter on it so maybe they added too much? And crank pulley was wobbling. I've never had one that the crank pulley wobbled on. So what's the fix for that? New pulley? New woodruff key? anyway that could of ruined the crankshaft? Other than those issues trans slipped a little, it felt way under powered. Could it just be a few teeth out of time? Wobbling pulley cause it to jump time?

Yes I am in the rust belt but believe it or not the outback is pretty clean underneath. Only been in weeds for past month or so I got it cheap and pulled the ej22 and put in my other outback that the ej25 hg went on. I have all the space and tools and well pretty much anything I'd need, except maybe time lol thanks again for all the helpful information I'm digging the idea of a Impreza sitting at outback height. And I've always heard ej18 are great motors. Reason car is so cheap is owner now has put a lot of money and parts in it trying to cure a loss of power problem. Says he notices it going up hills. Almost sounds to me like a clogged cat (have any suggestions?), but for no more than what I'll have in it I could part it out and still come out on top. I have all intentions of figuring out what's going on and driving it for a while before I make my mind up on the swap.

Hopefully I can get it off with no problem and then I'll just make a blank plate like DaveT did.

alright thank you!

Yes that's exactly what I want to do. So swap intakes and disty and I should be good to go? I was reading something someone said about welding up two ports or something like that. That's when I got confused and figured I better ask you guys on here.

Will I have to use the distributor out of the spfi car? I think I remember reading that somewhere.
