2011 FB25 Oil Eater Swap to 2016 FB25

[SubieJoe1]

Hello Everyone,

If anyone is having problems with oil burning issues on a older FB25s, there's an easy solution utilizing a newer FB25 engine (because they're a lot cheaper than the original engines).

We made adapter plates for the different port sizes for the newer engines to the older engines, plus an idler wheel bracket since the new ones don't have that provision anymore. The only thing is changing over the sensors from old engine, coolant crossover, wiring harness, plenum and TGV body and change the cam reluctor wheels to the old ones because the old ones had notches and the new ones have teeth. It's a nice weekend project and you can be running on Monday. If you're interested, you can check out a video explaining the swap, more or less Video

Thanks for reading the post.

Hello,

Just wanted to add to the FB25 post from Feb 1, 2024. Since the EGR pipe has to be lengthened when the adapter plates are installed, we offer advanced replacement extended EGR pipes. We charge a deposit up front to make sure we get the old ones back to replenish stock. So far, it's been working out well. If you don't have time or interested to extend your own EGR pipe, feel free to reach out to me at (e-mail address removed)
