JDM EJ253 Long Block (Emissions)

Asked by drpizzaeater Feb 24, 2019 at 05:04 PM about the 2005 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2005 Subaru Impreza with a blown
motor. When i drained the oil, metallic flakes
were visible inside of it. I am thinking of
buying a JDM long block with low mileage. I
plan on just swapping all the things over from
my old motor (Manifolds, Distributor, Hoses,
Cables). My question is that if I live in an
emissions required place (Nashville, TN),
would it pass the OBD-2 test without any
problems if i use everything off the USDM
motor other than the longblock itself?

Since your car should have come with an EJ253 I think you are good to go.
