I tried searching for info, even on other Suby sites, but can't find anything conclusive...does anyone know how to visually identify a 96 EJ25D (the lower power version)? I'm still looking for a 2.5 for my Impreza, but don't want to end up with the 96 engine. Found a couple of people on Craigslist with DOHC 2.5's for sale but they can't tell me exactly what year it was from. I understand that the 96 motor had some piston and valvetrain differences and that it had lower power numbers than any other EJ25's out there. Any ideas?
