Max Capacity Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Anything is possible with money...your cheapest way out is to put a ej253 back in the car. You may be able to find one in a junkyard. In this thread, http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/idea-web-links-saved-various-parts-219238.html There is a link to a engine shop in Michigan about a couple months back in time. http://people.csail.mit.edu/ilh/vacation/ service manuals may help you out too. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

Dheydrick21 Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Yea i figured the easiest way out would be to do that. I have some money saved up looking to spend 4,000 would it he possible to turbocharge a ej253 an how costly would that be? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 That's not enough to turbo charge your car and have the same performance as a GT. It's a commonly asked question. You may be better off to sell your car for whatever and buy a 4th gen GT, the only problem with buying a cheap 4th gen GT is you need to know its history. GT's need lot's of TLC to run well and give great bang for the buck. I would think most any repair shop or auto parts store can give you info on a replacement ej253. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

Rreis Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Hey guys I have a 2007 Subaru Legacy GT with a blown cyl 2 . What would be the best motor swap for this car.

Max Capacity Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Start your own thread so its easier to follow. click on the link in my sig, that has become the poster child for how to do it right the first time. New ej257 and engine gasket set for your year car, have the heads rebuilt and use ARP head studs. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.
