shutterbc Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Is it an EcoBoost engine at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kflow Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Since we are talking engine swaps what about a Porsche flat six, say 3.6 or even 3.8 liter into a Legacy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRSCobra Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Since we are talking engine swaps what about a Porsche flat six, say 3.6 or even 3.8 liter into a Legacy? The engine would be worth more than the car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_ster Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 i have a 89 3.6 porche engine on a palat and will probably replace it with a buick 3.8 aswell. i would consider a porche engine swap into a subie as a downgrade! people are puting subie engines into porches.

shtbxr22 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 The engine would cost more than the car! there we go. worth more? nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kflow Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 It was more of a what if question. Subaru engines have been swapped into Porsche 914's as well as Volkswagen Vanagons, buses, bugs and dune buggies so why not swap something different into a Subaru?

Subaru engines have been swapped into Porsche 914's as well as Volkswagen Vanagons, buses, bugs and dune buggies so why not swap something different into a Subaru? well its not realy swaping for the sake of "swaping some thing diffrent". its to get more power and / or cheaper more reliable Now that's thinking out of the boxer! fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 If anybody wants to get a H6 with more power I suggest that they instead look at the 3.6 H6 engine and start from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_ster Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 Yes of coarse but depends on cost and availability of parts for each engine. Now that's thinking out of the boxer! fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd3.6 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 If anybody wants to get a H6 with more power I suggest that they instead look at the 3.6 H6 engine and start from that. Probably easier to just find a wrecked Porsche with an H6... And it would already be turbo. Obviously would need a custom engine-trans adapter plate.

Laverne Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Probably easier to just find a wrecked Porsche with an H6... And it would already be turbo. Obviously would need a custom engine-trans adapter plate. Umm and some serous $$$.. Even wrecked the turbo Porsches are pretty pricey Overall for $$$ per HP Frank went the right way, next would be an LS motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously would need a custom engine-trans adapter plate. And all new exaust And motor mounts And charge piping And air cooling fan would fit where? ( if it's air cooled ) Ill have to measure but I think the porche engines are wider I'll measure the 3.6 1989 porche engine I have on the shelf Now that's thinking out of the boxer! fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank_ster Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 up date so its daily driver now.. getting aboot 450 km per tank of city driving 91 octane, witch is actualy better than the 2.5 witch got aboot 350 of city driving. i think highway economy will suffer tho due to the engine pumping losses. i'm still running 5 lbs boost, the tranny is shifting nice with the stock control it seams like it adapted. it will still get the megashift tranny controler. but right now i'm enjoying driving the off idle torq monster. its excelent from a dead stop from idle. i havent tryed boost launching it and i don't think i will untill i install the rwd 4wd main shaft.
