I put a 2015 Crosstrek engine into a 2014

Hey jawajunk, I'm getting ready to do an FB20 swap in my 2013 xv. Would love to pick your brain or see that write up if you have it!

Peakz, I really wanted to share and help others so I did a full write up on NASIOC.....wasted hours putting it together and they never posted it. When I asked about it they never replied. To make it worse, I wrote the whole thing on their platform and didn't save a copy for myself . So after submitting it, now it's totally gone. That write up I did was pretty long winded, covering everything I ran into with the swap from 13-14 to a 15 up motor, and how I overcame it blah, blah blah. Might be easier if you have questions about certain things to ask that and I can reply. I have worked for and on Subaru for over 20 years and done many Frankenroos over the years so hopefully I can help.

Hey Jawajunk, thanks for the offer. I'm just getting ready to receive my motor this week and getting organized with accessories for the swap. I'm assuming I'm going to use my old sensors and other equipment where it makes sense, but I'm wondering what you replaced during your swap. I am planning on new thermostats and water pump and probably clean up the injectors. Did you open up the timing cover and replace chain components? Any sensors I'm going to need new rings/gaskets for? What other parts of my new JDM fb20 motor should I be checking. I would prefer not to tear it down more than necessary so I can get this car back on the road again soon.
