96 EJ22E going turbo and lost
okay, so im fairly new to subarus. i am actually swapping this engine into a 1969 VW squareback, so i want a quick yet reliable engine. but i cant figure out if i need to swap out the SOHC heads for some DOHC to run boost. i also dont know what to do for injectors or the ECU or where the hell to find all this stuff. im a poor college student too, which never helps haha. can someone help me?!

Re: 96 EJ22E going turbo and lost
Welcome to the board!
Searching on here for 'swap' and 'conversion' will likely find you a lot of info. I also know there are dedicated sites for VWs that have swapped in Subaru engines. Personally, unless you're very familiar w/turbos/wiring/engine management/etc, I'd leave your '96 EJ22E AS IS - don't turbo it. Unless you run <5psi boost, install turbo-quality pistons, and other mods, you'll be looking for a new/replacement engine b4 too long. Otherwise, find an EJ22T from a '91-94 Legacy or a WRX EJ20 w/all the related bits to go turbo the safe way. Have fun! Td

Re: 96 EJ22E going turbo and lost
22E's have shown to be pretty reliable if you keep the boost to about 5 pounds. And they are a dime a dozen from the 90 to 94 legacy's so if you blow one it's not really a big deal to find another.
As for management - you should look into MegaSquirt. It's right up the alley of a college student and very configureable. GD
