Which motor identification

brad131a4 · 01-01-2020, 01:25 AM

Looked at the search and didn't see what I'm looking for. So I bought a motor and trans which was supposed to be a EJ205 from a 2002-2005 wrx. Well not knowing much about the motors I took their word that's what I got. Fast forward 2 years of it sitting and waiting to be installed I ask a friend who is into subarus if he could help me locate a harness for the motor as I have the ECU they sent with the motor. Well He tells me I don't have a EJ205 but I have a earlier Phase I motor.
Now being I have know idea what car it came out of and the only thing on the block is a EJ20 casting how do I identify just what motor I do have?

Some pictures would help. Does it have a coil pack dead center of the manifold? Is it offset to one side? What turbo does it have? Injector colors?

Ok that is something I can do. Will try and get those up as soon as I can. Only thing I know is that it's a phase I motor from what I can tell. The coil pack is offset to one side. It has 009 stamping on the heads. Going to have to see how to post pictures here. I may not have enough posts as it says I can not post attachments.
