Will it fit my Subaru?

It is listed for the Saab 9-2X and Subaru Tribeca, Forester, Impreza, Legacy and Outback. Subaru starters vary by engine and year, so confirm the part number against your car before buying.

What are the key specs?

12 volts, 1.4kW output, counterclockwise rotation and a 9-tooth pinion. Match all four to the starter you are replacing.

Is this a new or remanufactured starter?

The listing describes it as a starter motor but does not state new or remanufactured. Ask the seller before ordering if that matters to you.

Does it come with mounting bolts?

The package is one starter motor. Bolts and shims are not listed, so reuse your existing hardware.

Is it a good upgrade over the stock starter?

No. It is a stock-spec replacement, not a high-torque upgrade. Buy it to restore normal starting, not to gain cranking power.

Our take on the SunJet 3vbx25qya81u Starter Motor 12V 1.4kW CCW 9-Tooth

The SunJet 3vbx25qya81u is a 12V starter motor rated at 1.4kW with a 9-tooth pinion that turns counterclockwise. It is listed for a range of Subaru models (Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, Tribeca) and the Saab 9-2X, which shares Subaru's drivetrain. It is a direct-fit replacement for a failed factory starter rather than an upgrade, so it suits owners doing a repair on a daily driver. Compared with OEM starters, it is a budget-priced aftermarket unit, and long-term durability is the main question mark with this class of part.
