BlackHole Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Much cheaper & easier to sell your car and buy a factory turbo version. Search - there are a lot of different Subie turbos Kyle "BlackHole" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheatleya Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 BlackHole is right. Cheaper to trade it in. Imagine if you wanted to date a super-model. Would you just take a fat ugly chick and throw some nice clothes on her. There is a lot more to the turbo models than just a turbo, or engine.

tytek Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I think that the OP was thinking of swapping an EJ25 into his 1997 Subaru... search for posts from ACZWILD - he is in the process of doing the same thing.

Reuben Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Don't listen to the nay sayers, do that BD chassis justice and stick an engine in, that the car was designed for. EJ20 turbo (Stay away from the the car was actually designed for, the EJ20 Twin turbo, only pain and suffering will ensure) It's actually easy if you don't consider the reloom job.
