Low Mileage JDM Subaru FB25 2.5L DOHC Engine – Genuine OEM Replacement
Bring your Subaru back to factory performance with this low-mileage JDM FB25 2.5L DOHC Boxer engine from our inventory. Imported directly from Japan, every engine is compression tested, professionally inspected, and carefully prepared before shipment to ensure dependable performance and long service life.
Designed for the 2013–2016 Subaru Legacy and Outback 2.5i, the FB25 is Subaru’s naturally aspirated 2.5-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine. It features a chain-driven dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) valvetrain, aluminum block and cylinder heads, and Subaru’s Active Valve Control System (AVCS) on the intake camshafts for improved efficiency, smooth power delivery, and fuel economy. Depending on the model year, the FB25 produces approximately 173–175 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque.
Whether your original engine has excessive oil consumption, rod knock, overheating damage, spun bearings, or catastrophic internal failure, this genuine OEM JDM replacement provides an excellent alternative to rebuilding your existing engine. Furthermore, installing a low-mileage imported engine helps restore the smooth performance and reliability Subaru originally engineered into your vehicle.

Why Choose a-Mileage JDM FB25 Engine?
Japan’s stringent vehicle inspection requirements often result in vehicles being retired with relatively low mileage. Consequently, imported JDM engines typically exhibit less wear than comparable North American engines.
Additionally, purchasing a genuine OEM Subaru engine allows you to retain the original engineering, fitment, and long-term reliability of your vehicle. Rather than rebuilding a worn or damaged engine, many Subaru owners choose a low-mileage JDM replacement because it offers excellent value while maintaining factory performance.

Installation Recommendations
For the best long-term reliability, we recommend:
- Transfer your original USDM intake manifold
- Transfer the original engine wiring harness
- Reuse your original sensors when necessary
- Install new spark plugs
- Replace the thermostat
- Install a new water pump if needed
- Replace accessory drive belts
- Install fresh engine oil and filter
