2013 Subaru Impreza engine swap fb20

In this video I buy a 2013 Subaru Impreza with a fb20 engine
I go through the full engine swap process !

The engine they gave you is 2014, it changes slightly in some things but basically you could put it in without changing the engine wiring and it would work the same, same sensors, same everything.

Glad you know what it came off of I couldn’t figure it out haha but I do have an updated video I’ll be uploading really soon I actually had to remove the timing cover and change out a few things to take care of the check engine light it didn’t want to erase for almost a year

Can I swap my 2013 Subaru g4 FB16 engine with a FB16 turbo engine

[@joeheriel6189]

did you get a solution? the fb16 dit is the only fb16 turbo engine there is,

[@DeejayGrafixx]

Can I swap over the old timing cover to keep the duall idler sett up?

[@Garciabuilds96x]

What’s up bro yeah I actually ended up swapping my original timing cover on this engine later on down the road I’ll be posting a video of that soon

Dude - this was super cool. Sad to see you don't upload anymore. I'm impressed at how quickly you got the engine out. Any idea why you got the cam code that someone else mentioned in the comments, or what the remedy/solution was? I'm thinking of trying to undertake this myself, although I have no knowledge as to what I'm doing here.

[@Garciabuilds96x]

How’s it going! I think you just inspired me to make more videos haha It was the camshaft position sensors If you have any questions you can add me on instagram or tik tok xgarcia96 It’s a pretty easy swap

[@poledancerz1]

​@@Garciabuilds96x Hey! Awesome to see that you're still active. I have a 2012 Subaru Impreza pzev, 153k miles. I haven't started the swap just yet. I'm still trying to mentally commit to this lol. I only have some experience working on my motorcycles, nothing remotely close to this. It's crazy how easy you made it seem. My engine isn't dead yet, but I have engine oil and coolant mixing... The car misfires on startup sometimes... and if my car sits for 3-4 days, it starts with a nice puff of blue smoke. I assume it's the head gasket. I mistreated the engine a lot over time. 10k oil changes, driving on low oil for a long time, and pretending it's a racecar using the paddleshifters to get me to redline all the time. It's been burning a lot of oil the last 30k miles. My thought was instead of replacing the head gasket (which I have a high chance of messing up the timing/gasket replacement), I can find an engine for around ~2000 and has less than 100k miles. Of course, there's no service history, but with LKQ I can at least get a warranty with it. It'll take me a long time to replace the head gaskets and I would risk messing up the timing. It's going to take me A LONG time to do, but would feel good if I can get it done. I was really impressed with how quickly you were able to get the engine swapped. I found it really funny at 4:30 you said after an hour and a half you were ready to pull the motor... I know damn well it's going to take me 10 hours to get to that point 😂. It's interesting you had to replace the camshaft position sensors and that other comment on this video also mentioned it. I was hoping for an easy plug and play lol. Your video showed me all FB20 engines are not plug-and-play. There could be differences. Anyway - thanks for the reply! You might hear from me in the near future... Nice bike btw

[@Garciabuilds96x]

@@poledancerz1yeah so doing the head gaskets on these is kind of a pain to be honest because of the timing chain situation the older timing belt style is way easier and more simple but oh well haha But yeah find a low mileage JDM one or lkq they technically are plug and play you just use your intake which I think I explained all that in the video I just forget it was so long ago ha If you’ve never done it I’d recommend just going to pick and pull and start messing with those engines just to learn it doesn’t hurt I promise once you start you’ll be like damn that was pretty easy

[@StrettyEndShooter]

Great video mate! Keep these videos coming! Thank you!

[@edgarj415]

Love the video bro!!

[@edgarj415]

4:56 triple og

[@conradkortz]

I think the differences between the motors is, the new motor had pzev and the old motor didnt. Im looking at buying a jdm fb20 is that what you did?

[@eliottfrechette4603]

did you got some cam code related after this

[@Garciabuilds96x]

I did bro have you done this swap before ?

[@davidrivera1056]

What codes did you get?
