Thanks, enjoy the swap adventure, be careful with the engine you choose as they're old now and people are having problems with what's available on the market V7-V9.

I completely agree with Vlad. You can now quite easily source Grb onwards thick walled brand new subaru assembled short blocks. I would go with one of these and source jdm ej207 v7-9 single avcs heads or Jdm 01-05 ej205 avcs heads (same casting as the big port single Avcs ej207 heads) - these can also be found in the eudm, sadm or audm 03-05 ej205’s - T20 castings. Then change cams and springs to good aftermarket ones and use new gaskets and Seals and voila Mick |

I am putting an AIM Power Distribution Module in my car and am in the process of finalizing sensors for my EMS Stinger v4 ECU and AIM PDM. I have two questions (apologize if these are dumb or obvious):
1. What is the sensor under the alternator next to the EJ20 stamp? I assume this is for oil pressure. As you can see from the photos, the previous owner has hacked in something unusual here. I will be putting a 1/8 NPT AIM pressure sensor in this location if this is in fact where oil pressure readings are taken. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NhQ...ew?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yXt...ew?usp=sharing 2. What is the sensor located at the back of the engine into the block. This has a single spade connector and looks like a temp sensor to me. This is the one I'm most confused about. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1--2...ew?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hQq...ew?usp=sharing Thank you!!! Dean |

Those are the oil gallery plug locations.
Front is used for the OEM oil pressure switch, mostly used in aftermarket for an oil pressure sensor. Rear is blanked as OEM but usually used for a takeoff for an oil temp gauge sensor. You can buy adapters that screw into the block for the sensors to screw into. Looks like you have an early cast EJ20 closed deck block, the hatchings are only found on sand cast blocks. That's not an EJ207. It should have piston oil squirters in the block. They were made very early in the EJ series and are nice to have for bigger power builds. |

Thank you John. That solves the mystery. I'll put the AIM pressure switch in the front and add an AIM oil temp in the rear since the provision for oil temp is already there.
I believe it is a EJ205G Type RA engine. It has the fifth injector, cross hatching, etc. I purchased a Ferrari Dino and this is the engine and trans that was in it. Kind of a nice surprise to find that the engine the car came with was such a nice one. |

Oil temp by the turbo is a great indicator , On a recent track day I barely got over 205f with 60f ambient temperature. |

Not sure if this is the best place for this question but here goes. I have a 2002 WRX sedan with an EJ207. I am trying to replace my engine mounts. I did the driver side no problem, but with the passenger side it seems the twin scroll header isn't allowing the passenger side engine mount to come out anywhere. Has anyone done these in the car? If so, how did you get the passenger side mount out?

Trying to ID my ej20
Recently purchased an 2002 wrx sedan with jdm 6 speed and 04 brembos and a “jdm ej205” as listed on the ad. Owner didn’t know too much about the car, heading to college just wanted it out. I have a slight hunch I have an ej207 v7,v8 on my hands. Aftermrket turbo so can’t identify there Red intake manifold looks to be oem Sti by texture of paint and the wear on there from age Stock oem tgv deletes Aftermarket injectors so don’t know if they came with the pinks Sti or blue wrx After comparing pictures and remembering something I read a while ago regarding the harmonic balancer/crank pulley being different I decided to take look at mines. I do indeed have the same more “flush” crank pulley like the other ej207 I see online as oppose to the crank pulley on the ej205. Physical different is drastic in comparison. Any other way to identify? |

Fellow 207'ers i need yo help. Ive gotten two years out of this tomei manifold, slip joints rotted and i rewelded them to get by, ive now done that twice and im at the point where i need to cut the joints out and replace entirely or get a new manifold. Anyone know of a shop that makes/sells twin scroll manifolds that arent made of chineseum? I was looking for a Moore manifold but they seem to not be making any parts, Full race and ETS wont make a twin scroll, only their 1.5 setups.
The flanges and tubes are in good shape, its just the slip joints that i can cut/replace if i can find the right size tubing. But id like to get a more robust manifold that can handle more aggressive anti lag use. |

Why don't you just have straight sections welded in eliminating the slip joints

FWIW, I never had any issues with my Tomei headers (single scroll; EJ255 & EJ257 approx. 80k miles), but that was several years ago and the quality may have gone down since then. I kept them wrapped and I always ran an undertray. My OEM T/S header cracked two different runners at the flange; it blew one runner completely out. I just replaced it with another used OEM header but I'm leaning towards single scroll if this one breaks. Or I could have the outside of the flanges fully welded up. I can't imagine they will hold up to anti-lag abuse as is. Bansheeboy11, you can try these guys for stainless tubing if you want to patch up your Tomei header. https://www.verociousmotorsports.com...bing-stainless |

My OEM twinscroll headers had developed a crack in time, I had replaced them at the time with another used set.
The new ones were too expensive. Then I steel brushed the replacement set and sprayed them with cold galvanizing paint. |

Ive used a few sets of OEM manifolds on my car and customers cars, the ones that get tracked and driven hard all crack primary tubes within a few inches of the head flanges. They also weigh quite a bit more. I did a dirty mig job to get by for a bit but ill probably just cut the tubing out and tig in some new slip joints. The manifold is in great shape aside from the joints going bad, flanges were straight last time i had it off, no corrosion of the tubing either.

hey guys I am running a hybrid EJ257/207 swap now with the V8 JDM ECU with AVCS...would it be worth it to do the 3rd alternator wire? I can't remember how I did it on my last JDM swap.

To be honest, I noticed zero nada zipp when I did the 3rd alternator wire mod. But hey, maybe that's what it's suppose to do...
