JustinMayorgasm Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 So the car is pretty stock other than some coil overs and a few other things but I don’t know much about cars tbh but I really like the way it looks so I was wondering if an engine swap is worth it and what engine would be the best possible swap of another Subaru engine that is faster. Now I know it would be expensive and stuff I just want it to be faster tbh, also I would wanna keep it a suby so another Subaru engine would be dope any suggestions??

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Nope, I have had two 2.5i subies, and they are not to me modded to go fast. Handle and look good is what you need to do. Sell her and get an LGT if you want to go fast or want performance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty9 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 most all subarus of this vintage use the same engine block, tuned differently, with different heads and turbos for various power levels. LGT and Spec.B have identical engines. If your car does not have a turbo, save yourself the time and money and headaches by just buying a car that has it already. Unless of course you want to do it as a (fun) project, go nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pleides Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 You could swap it. Your car will never work properly, but you could swap it. You could also just buy a Legacy GT. The car will never work properly either, but that's for entirely different reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoodhue Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 The price difference between the models is less than the cost of swapping in a turbo engine, plus the GT had some upgrades that were not available on the 2.5i, seats, brakes etc. If you want a good project, find a GT with a blown turbo or motor. Put in a new Subaru short block and rebuild the turbo. If done right, you will have a good reliable 4th Gen GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it would save money and hassle but like is it worth it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NORULZleggy Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I'm doing a 07 sti swap in my 08 2.5i. Just wonder to go with iag or a Crawford ej257 Go IAG or outfront motorsports. Both are good. like said e before the swaps are not going to work right. The cars are just opposite. It's like people that put ej20x in there car and wonder why they never work.
