Installation & Swap Notes

 

• USDM Conversion: You must us this as a long block and transfer everything over from the 2.5L for 100% plug-and-play ECU compatibility.

 

• Dual AVCS Wiring: The USDM Outback XT harness does not support Exhaust AVCS. Most installers either leave the exhaust cams unplugged (locked) or run additional wiring to a standalone or JDM ECU.

• Oil Pan & Components: You may need to transfer your original USDM oil pan, pickup, and specific sensors for fitment and ground clearance.

• Maintenance: We strongly recommend a new timing belt kit, water pump, and spark plugs before installation.
