wmagni Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I was told my head gasket is going so is it a good thing to convert to the 2.2 or an ea20 twin turbo? prices for a used 2.5 range from $1600-3500. I was also quoted $1250 for a 2.0 twin turbo complete w/ ecu, all acces and wiring. I have yet to get quoted on a 2.2. The trans will be replced/rebuilt at the same time. Please share your opinions! Thanks for the help on the overheat inquire.:-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subie Gal Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 huh? my 2.5 has 90k and is just fine depends on the model model year if you are at risk. but no way would i just assume my hg's are going to go and put 3k into a turbo/engine conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajavwnsoobnut Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I would say just get new HG's installed and call it good but......

projectrally Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 The twin turbo engine won't fit the car without some major work. They can be had relatively cheaply, but won't fit because they're set up for Japan, where cars are RHD. The LHD steering rack gets in the way.
