Remember as well, as dylan said over in the other thread, the Subaru applied codes actually have some differences for AUDM, USDM, JDM and European models.

SUBARU ENGINE NUMBER LOCATION CODE

This topic has has actually started discussion hereДЄlso here's a more thorough applied code explanation. The engine code itself implies engine size, configuration, and other things like radiator type and crossmember used.Дue to some confusion on the VIN versus the applied model code, the table has been revised to show Model Codes and VINs.ДЎ.8L (NA-Impreza): 5 (ie: GC5 is a 1.8L Impreza Sedan)Дў.0L (pre-MY01 WRX): 8 (ie: GC8 is a 2.0L Impreza WRX Sedan)Дў.0L (MY01+ WRX): A (ie: GGA is a 2.0L Impreza WRX Wagon)Дў.0L (MY02+ WRX STi): B (ie: GDB is a 2.0L Impreza WRX STi Sedan)Дў.2L (NA): C (ie: GFC is a 2.2L Impreza Wagon)Дў.5L (NA-Impreza): E (ie: GME is a 2.5L Impreza Coupe)Дў.5L (NA-Legacy): 6 (ie: BE6 is a 2.5L Legacy Sedan)Дў.5L (XT): 9 (ie: SG9 is a 2.5L Forester XT)Дў.5L (STi): F (ie: GDF is a 2.5L Impreza WRX STi Sedan)ДЈ.0L (H6): 9 (ie: BE9 is a 3.0L Legacy Sedan)ДЎ.8L: 2 (ie: GC2 is a 1.8L Impreza Sedan)Дў.0L: 2 (ie: GD2 is a 2.0L Impreza WRX Sedan)Дў.2L: 4 (ie: GF4 is a 2.2L Impreza Wagon)Дў.5L (NA and XT): 6 (ie: GM6 is a 2.5L Impreza Coupe)Дў.5L (STi): 7 (ie: GD7 is a 2.5L Impreza WRX STi Sedan)ДЈ.0L (H6): 8 (ie: BH8 Is a 3.0L Legacy Wagon) The third character refers to the engine that particular chassis was equipped with from the factory. (Yes, the C and F indicate the same chassis as Imprezas) When referring to a chassis alone, you use the first two characters of the model code. (New Age) Impreza models regardless of body or engine typeД®J20G = 2.0L turbo WRX engine used in early GC8 modelsД®J20K = 2.0L turbo WRX STi engine used in Version III & IV modelsД®J205 = 2.0L turbo WRX engine used in all 1999 to current WRX modelsД®J207 = 2.0L turbo WRX STi engine used in all 1999 to current STi modelsД®J255 = 2.5L turbo engine used in US Forester XT & Legacy 2.5L turbo models (+ some overseas)Д®J257 = 2.5L turbo engine used in US Impreza STi models This would also apply to 2004 Impreza STi because 2003 japanese model year is equivalent to 2004) 'GDB A/B/C' = Impreza Sedan STi model 2nd gen.

(for GC8 models C = both 1995 & 1996 model years)

Impreza WRX w/ 2.0L turbo (includes STi)ДҐ = Forester & Legacy 2.0L turbo (we also use this to refer to US 2.5L turbo Forester/Legacy)Д¤th letter determines body revision (generally changes each model year):Д®tc. Impreza WRX STi w/ 2.0L turbo high output (we also use this to refer to 2.5L STi)ДЁ = 1st gen. Chassis codes are as follows (according to Japanese models):Д¬ = Sedan 1st gen.
