outbacktweaked95 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I just bought a 1995 Subaru Outback and I want to turbo charge it. I know that some subies came factory turbocharged but i read somewhares that the factory downpipe to the turbo was the most restictive part of the motor. Is this true? Has anyone put a turbo in a normally inspired 2.2 liter it it difficult or expensive. Im a soon to be college student so i dont have mass amounts of cash but I do have time and welding and fab experiance. Any help would be great. Alos i want to put a exaust on it anyone have an good suggustions? Oh i want to make about 250-300 hp when i finsh the car. Oh do i have to upgrade the injectors from stock if i want to put a turbo in and Ihave a auto shifter which is eventuall going to be swaped for a manual but i dont want to much power until i get the $ to put in the maunal tranny. thanks again.

diamondgraymetallic21 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I'm not sure about that motor and car, but I know for the Legacy's 2.5i, turbo/supercharger isn't cheap to do, due to the fact of the internals not being able to hold much boost at all. Might be different for you, but if it's like the Legacy's, it won't be an easy task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to look into the older BE? platform Legacy. It was the 91,92,93 MY Legacy. We had a 91 2.2Turbo and 92 N/A. I believe the turbos were very low pressure, and did not have too many internal differences to the non-turbo. We didn't have the turbo one after I became mechanically inclined, so I can't tell you too much on their differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivwarrior Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 The early turbo Legacies (BC/BF) were a competely different 2.2L than the 2.2L N/A motors of the time. The block is a closed deck, and I think the internals are stronger, too. Turbo engines generally have lower static compression than N/A engines, too. While you can turbo a N/A engine, unless you do a complete overhaul/rebuild of the engine, you can't run much boost without causing major damamge.

SLegacy99 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Your 2.2L will be alot more forgiving than a 2.5L that you turbocharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
