fnlyfnd Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hi, Just looking for opinions since I can't make a decision. I have a '96 Impreza L wagon with manual windows, no cruise or abs. It is a very light car. It has a 2.2L in it with 140k and the timing belt and acc. were replace 10k ago. The motor runs great. I also have a '98 2.5L OBW with a brand new Subaru crate long block that was installed by a dealer 40k ago in 2005. This car also runs great. Both are 5spd I really want to put the 2.5L in my Impreza.... The Impreza is supposed to be the fun car, on the road, dirt, snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricearu Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 if you want a 2.5 powerhouse, swap the 2.2 into the obw. then get a spare set of 2.2 heads (junkyard or the like ) in good shape and slap them and timing components on the 2.5 block. look up frankenmotor for more details but with cams, exhaust, and tune, its capable of something around 200hp.
