Dale93 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) Ok funny story My dad wanted to turbo his N/a legacy 2006 He installed turbo to stock motor , then gave up trying to get the intercooler or A intercooler to fit , He then purchased a plastic intake manifold turbo engine, the engine was from a auto and had no spark so he presumed that was the reason, He then purchased another engine still complete,I did the installing and wire plugging in etc , Ha no spark So doing something my dad should is research about it more. I have since learned that you can not simpley engine swap these cars even tho the wire harness plug is the same, So I have read - wire harness plug prongs may/are in different locations and I possibly have de pin and relocate wires and connect some to ecu? Idk I confuse myself sometimes hes literally made a mess of a good car. The 2 wires in picture are turbo solenoid some1 cut them so I have to rejoin Engine is from a 2008+ Hes car 2006 n/a legacy Temperature gauge full hot, thermo fans on, no spark, no fuel out fuel line Error hc Edited November 9, 2022 by Dale93 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) New ECU. New wiring harness (iWire). It can/has been done. I do not want to get involved with one, again. It is far less expensive and less of a headache to buy a used turbo car and go from there. I supercharged a 2002 Forester for my tuner. Just because we could. Like getting a tattoo that reads "Regerts". Good luck to you sir. Maybe Dad should ask questions before jumping off a cliff.

JmP6889928 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I have to give credit to you for actually putting it in and having it completely hooked up. Self inflicted torture is still torture. What Sprank said. Find a turbo car and start from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
