lobolusk Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I have searched and can't seem to find my answer I recently bought the misses a 06 legacy wagon special edition i have done quite a few engine swaps here is my question can i just get the turbo legacy engine form that year and the ecu and plug and play i know most engine swaps require engine harness splicing and so on but if it is out of the same year and same model could i get a way with just getting the ecu and the engine? this is a research question my dream...nay my aspiration in life is to make a legacy wagon s401 twin turbo sti from a wrecked legacy s401. but unlike don Quixote i don't have a serious head injury and my sweet Dulcenea does not like me spending oodles of cash on the family wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rao Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 The Nasioc forum covers more than JDM swaps. Since you insist, the swap would be like dropping in a new engine and just plugging i a different ECU except that you have to re-wire a bunch of stuff to make it work Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JessterCPA Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I'd probably just recommend buying an existing car like this one. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=131936 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
