In this video we teach you how to do a long block swap in your Subaru. This is important so the wiring in the chassis stays the same but a new replacement engine can be installed if the original is damaged.

How is the canbus swap going on the rs?
Great Video guys! Thank you for the valuable information. I was wondering if in your experience, a swap between NA Phase 1 EJ Subaru engines of different displacements (EX: (EJ18 to EJ25 NA same year, different car) would be a "plug and play" option? is that possible?
I assume new timing belt and water pump when swapping? Do you also use a new oil pump?
