1988 diesel transporter looking for a new engine.

Post by justinjgreenaway »

Hi Guys.

Anyone know if the diesel Subaru Impreza GR GH 2.0 D AWD Diesel EE20 EE20Z 150 PS is the correct engine to drop into t25 1988?

Trying to hunt a good refurb diesel engine - any suggestions? VWKampers only seem to do petrol.

Many thanks in advance.

I’ve got one I could sell you, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
The engine is fine (pulled like a train when up and running) but we could not stop it from smoking on start-up clouds of white smoke even with a standalone ECU. Also not very, field maintainable.
There’s a little bit about it on our blog (must write more at some point).
Regards Gary
