Hi, ive just bought a 2.5 Turbo engine from on 07 plate impreza, and as i know nothing about them i need some help finding out exactly what engine it is (spec and power),

If someone would be able to tell me the spec and so on from the engine code, i would be a very happy boy lol.

Ive bought the engine from a breaker, its going into my 1969 beetle, which will be intended for street/strip use when finished

any help would be muchly appreciated...

This code is from the sticker on the timing belt cover.

EJ255LE9KB-OD5 5130395 ZA10

In a beetle haha that going to be great fun. While the engines out why not bung some forged pistons and 11mm head studs in. That's the weak points so easier to sort while the engines out.
Standard their safe at 360bhp, do the pistons ans studs and there safe to about 480bhp. The torque from the 2.5 is where this lump shines. Map to well over 400ft/lb

I await the 2.0L boys to flame me merry xmas ya all.
