I added some information here about the swap.
http://www.westernsubaruclub.com/smf/index.php?topic=54332.msg667982#msg667982Over 500km driven now.
Odometer on the Redoo was ~224,000km when the swap happened.
Mileage on the JDM engine was ~89,000km based on what was written on the timing belt cover.
Specific to
this car, some other notes to add now that the new heart is falling into place:
- There's a belt squeak. Need to tighten that.
- It needs a power steering fluid flush.
- It is imperative that the tint come off the windows. Oh. My. God.
- After 1 empirical tank of gas, mileage has improved from 10.4l/100km to 9.6l/100km
Also of note, the ej201 is SOO SMOOV!!
Holy crap.
I can barely even tell that the engine is running, both at idle and at speed.
The RPMs keep climbing and suddenly you're doing 20 over the speed limit without noticing.
