Info on EJ25 Quadcam wanted

RSR 555 · Post by **RSR 555** » Wed Dec 08, 2010 3:00 pm

Looking for any info on a EJ25 Quadcam engine that is in a Gen3 Outback.. I know they weren't available in Aus.. so I'm hoping someone overseas has some info like specs and wiring diagram.

The only info I have is the engine code EJ254DXDBE and it's from a 2002 Subaru Lancaster (Outback)

Any advise and help would be much appreciated

were they only not available here in Gen3?
I had one which came out of an Australian delivered Gen2 Outback.

Yeah Andrew, the Gen2 EJ25 was a different animal.. I will take some pics of this one but from what I noticed when we looked at it, was the manifold was a different design and I think (not 100% sure) that the heads looked like AVCS type. It was definately a Gen3 model with the larger headlight design but I can't tell what year it is until I do some more checks. I'm sure from searching the net, that it's more than likely around 2002.

Jules found this but the pics are small..

Hummmm, one small thing i notice from those pics toonga found is the num of flywheel bolts, 8 instead of 6 on the ej22 right? Also does it have the 8 bolt bell instead of 4 bolt one?

Nope.. all EJs have 8 flywheel bolts

seems the Lancaster and that engine type were shipped to countries with other than English ticked in the export box

I thought EJ254D was the code for a standard EJ25 quad cam. If it went to non-english speaking countries then maybe they were just using left over motors in the Gen3, googling only brings up russian stuff... which seems suss.

suss it may seem but Russia and its federated states got quite a few Subarus we didn't

an example being the Subaru Retna

4 engines listed in that FSM: 2l sohc, 2.5l sohc, 3l 6cylinder sohc, 2l dohc.

no 2.5l dohc

a good reference material that I didn't have before
