Key Takeaways
- Spec.B does not prove a six-speed: the 2.0GT spec.B manual had five speeds until 24 May 2006, the 3.0R spec.B launched with a six-speed manual in October 2004.
- The May 2004 2.0GT spec.B is rated 280 PS (manual) and 260 PS (five-speed automatic). The single twin-scroll turbo replaced the twin-turbo layout.
- The S402 is a 285 PS 2.5-litre with a limit of 402 across sedan and wagon, not more than 300 hp.
- Tuned by STI editions (600 cars each in 2005, 2006 and 2007) and the S402 are separate from standard spec.B.
- Japanese 2.5i Urban selection sedans and wagons went on sale on 16 November 2007. EyeSight grades and the regular 2.5i range followed on 8 May 2008.
- Recall 1342 covers specified BL and BP cars built from April 2003 to April 2004. Check by chassis number.
Background
Launch and grades
Subaru announced the generation and put the Touring Wagon on sale on 23 May 2003, and the B4 sedan followed on 23 June. Subaru's June 2003 B4 catalogue lists the 2.0i, 2.0R, 2.0GT and 2.0GT spec.B, all with full-time 4WD; the 3.0R followed in September 2003 with a five-speed automatic. The 2.0i (UA-BL5) is a 140 PS SOHC naturally aspirated car on regular fuel. The 2.0R (TA-BL5) is a DOHC naturally aspirated car rated 190 PS at 7,100 rpm with the manual and 180 PS at 6,800 rpm with the automatic. Subaru widened the standard body to 1,730 mm; the S402 is wider.
The turbo engine and spec.B
Subaru replaced the earlier twin-turbo layout with one twin-scroll turbo, an equal-length exhaust and variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust valves. The May 2004 2.0GT spec.B manual is rated 280 PS at 6,400 rpm and 343 N·m at 2,400 rpm on a 9.5:1 compression ratio, with a limited-slip differential listed as standard. The five-speed automatic is rated 260 PS at 6,000 rpm. HKS's catalogue separates the EJ20X (automatic) and EJ20Y (manual) turbo applications, but treat that as parts-maker fitment evidence, not a sale-date rule.
3.0R spec.B
The 3.0R spec.B went on sale on 19 October 2004 with the EZ30 flat-six rated 184 kW (250 PS) net at 6,600 rpm and 304 N·m (31.0 kgf·m) at 4,200 rpm. Its six-speed manual is based on the WRX STI gearbox with Legacy-specific specifications, which is not a claim of identical ratios or full interchangeability. Subaru lists Bilstein suspension and dedicated 18-inch wheels, and VDC was a manufacturer option, with VDC-equipped cars built from November 2004.
The May 2006 update
On 24 May 2006 Subaru gave the Touring Wagon and B4 2.0GT spec.B a six-speed manual with dedicated gear ratios, and an enlarged rear differential with a Torsen limited-slip differential. The same update introduced SI-DRIVE, with three selectable driving characteristics, on the 2.0-litre turbo and 3.0-litre cars. The spec.B badge does not identify the gearbox. Check the exact engine grade, catalogue date and whether the car is manual or automatic.
50th Anniversary and WR-Limited
The 50th Anniversary commemorates Fuji Heavy Industries' 50th anniversary. It was announced and sold from 22 December 2003 on the 2.0GT and 2.0R in both bodies, with an ivory interior in leather and Alcantara, and was available until March 2004. Spark Yellow Mica was a made-to-order colour. WR-Limited 2005 went on sale on 17 August 2005 based on the automatic 2.0GT, with WR Blue paint and gold wheels.
Tuned by STI editions
The 2005 tuned by STI edition went on sale on 17 August 2005 on the 2.0GT spec.B, limited to 600 with orders to November 2005. It has Brembo four-piston front and two-piston rear brakes, STI 18 × 7.5JJ wheels, lowering springs and pillow-ball rear links. STI also records a limit of 600 for each of the 2006 and 2007 editions. The 2006 edition is rated 280 PS with the six-speed manual and 260 PS with the five-speed automatic, with 343 N·m at 2,400 and 2,000 rpm respectively.
S402
Subaru announced the S402 on 14 May 2008 and sold it from 27 June, built to order with orders to February 2009. The limit is 402 cars across sedan and wagon combined. It has an EJ25 of 2,457 cc with a dedicated twin-scroll turbo, rated 210 kW (285 PS) and 392 N·m, with a six-speed manual, STI-tuned Bilstein suspension, BBS 18-inch forged wheels, Brembo brakes and a 13:1 steering ratio. It is 1,770 mm wide on a 2,670 mm wheelbase.
Late changes: EyeSight and 2.5i
EyeSight arrived on 8 May 2008, late in the generation, with stereo cameras and 3D image processing for pre-crash safety. Subaru's release describes collision-damage mitigation, so it does not support calling the 2003 launch car lane-keeping. The same update added regular 2.5i and 2.5i SI-Cruise grades. Japanese 2.5i Urban selection sedans and wagons had already gone on sale in November 2007.
Recall 1342 and importing
Subaru's recall 1342 of 14 February 2005 covers specified BL and BP cars built between 24 April 2003 and 14 April 2004. The rear stabilizer can move sideways and touch a rear brake caliper union bolt, which can loosen and leak brake fluid; the remedy includes inspection, new bolts and a stabilizer stopper. Twelve of the listed cars also had an incorrectly assembled fuel-pump seal. Ranges may include unaffected cars, so check the chassis number.
The US 25-year rule is judged on each car's own build date (49 CFR 591.5(i)), not on model year or launch date. EPA's over-21-years exemption requires the original engine model and configuration, or an equivalent or newer EPA-certified replacement with its emission controls. State registration and emissions rules differ, and Canada counts 15 years from the month and year of manufacture.

Should You Buy a Subaru Legacy BL?
Why You'll Love It
- Documented turbo and flat-six grades Subaru's catalogues and releases give the 2.0GT spec.B at 280 or 260 PS and the 3.0R spec.B at 250 PS, so each car has a published specification to compare with.
- Six-speed on the 3.0R spec.B Subaru lists a six-speed manual based on the WRX STI gearbox from the 3.0R spec.B's October 2004 launch.
- A published recall trail Subaru's recall 1342 lists the affected cars and the remedy, so a buyer can confirm completion.
Why You Might Not
- The badge does not name the gearbox The 2.0GT spec.B manual changed from five speeds to six in May 2006; automatic versions retained five speeds. The 3.0R spec.B launched with a six-speed manual in October 2004 and gained a five-speed automatic in May 2005. The later 2.0R spec.B is a separate grade.
- Several look-alike editions Tuned by STI, WR-Limited, 50th Anniversary and S402 are separate editions with different equipment, so check the photo and the badge.
Who Should NOT Buy This
- Anyone who assumes a spec.B has a six-speed manual: check the car's date and gearbox.
- Anyone expecting S402 to make more than 285 PS: Subaru and STI rate it at 285 PS.
- Anyone planning a US import without checking the engine against EPA's over-21-years exemption: it requires the original engine model and configuration, or an equivalent or newer EPA-certified replacement with its emission controls.
Common Issues & Solutions
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Rear stabilizer and brake caliper union bolt (recall 1342) | Subaru's recall of 14 February 2005 found that the rear stabilizer can move sideways in specified conditions and contact the caliper union bolt, which can loosen and leak brake fluid. | Check the chassis number against the recall ranges, then ask for proof the bolts were inspected or replaced and a stabilizer stopper fitted. |
| Fuel-pump seal (recall 1342) | Twelve cars in the recall had an incorrectly assembled fuel-pump mounting seal, so fuel could leak from the mounting when the tank was filled. | Check the chassis number against the recall list and ask for the dealer record of the repair. |
Differences between JDM & USDM
This page describes the Japanese-market cars from Subaru's and STI's own Japanese releases and catalogues. The US Legacy GT spec.B is a separate specification: Road & Track's 2006 review describes a 2.5-litre intercooled turbo four, so US 2.5 GT figures do not apply to a Japanese 2.0GT spec.B. European diesels are also separate.
Pre-Purchase Inspection Checklist
Verify the grade, date and gearbox first, then the recall, edition identity and paperwork.

In Pictures
The Buyer's Read
Start with the exact grade and the date. Subaru's 2004 catalogue lists the 2.0GT spec.B manual at 280 PS with five speeds, alongside a five-speed automatic. Subaru introduced the six-speed manual in the 24 May 2006 lineup update; verify the gearbox fitted to the individual car. The 3.0R spec.B is a different engine, the EZ30 flat-six at 250 PS.
Next separate the editions. The 50th Anniversary, WR-Limited 2005, the 2005, 2006 and 2007 tuned by STI editions and the S402 each have their own equipment and stated limits, and the S402 is a 285 PS 2.5-litre limited to 402 across both bodies.
Check recall 1342 for the individual chassis: it covers specified cars built between April 2003 and April 2004, and the remedy includes brake union bolt inspection and a stabilizer stopper.
Finally, work out the car's age from its manufacture date, and check EPA's engine rule if you plan to import it to the US.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does every Japanese 2.0GT spec.B have a six-speed manual?
- No. Subaru's May 2004 catalogue lists a five-speed manual for the 2.0GT spec.B. The 24 May 2006 update gave the manual dedicated six-speed ratios, and the 3.0R spec.B launched with a six-speed manual in October 2004.
- Is twin-scroll the same as twin turbo?
- No. Subaru's 2003 launch release describes one new twin-scroll turbo that made the turbo system a single turbo, replacing the earlier two-stage twin-turbo arrangement.
- What is the difference between EJ20X and EJ20Y?
- HKS's catalogue distinguishes the EJ20X automatic and EJ20Y manual applications for BL5 and BP5 turbo cars. It is parts-maker fitment data, not a Subaru sale-date rule.
- What is spec.B versus tuned by STI versus S402?
- Spec.B is the standard Subaru grade. The tuned by STI editions are annual 600-car STI specials on the 2.0GT spec.B. The S402 is a separate 2.5-litre EJ25 turbo STI edition limited to 402.
- How much power does the S402 make?
- STI lists 210 kW (285 PS) at 5,600 rpm and 392 N·m (40.0 kgf·m) from 2,000 to 4,800 rpm for the 2,457 cc EJ25. That is a net PS rating, not more than 300 hp.
- When can a particular BL or BP enter the US?
- The US 25-year rule is judged on each car's own build date, not on model year. EPA's over-21-years exemption requires the original engine model and configuration, or an equivalent or newer EPA-certified replacement with its emission controls. Canada counts 15 years from the month and year of manufacture.
