Bkillazrallying Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Is it possible to put a turbo in a 93 legacy that didnt come with the turbo engine originally? if so, is it even worth the hassle? not that id actually do this anytime soon, but i was just curious. Would it be easier to find an old dead turbo engine and drop that in and put a nicer turbo in? (after I kill this engine... I plan on being the last person to ever own this car...)

simbey1982 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 It is possible but it is not worth it, a few things in a turbo engine are diffrent, lower compression pistons, some fuel management things, ECU etc your best bet is to find a turbo engine and drop it in. With a 93 legacy im assuming a EJ22 so any EJ turbo engine will more or less "drop" in and mate with your transmission. I asked the same question a few months back.... here is my thread and the answers http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18803 Happy Hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkillazrallying Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 thanks, i kinda figured it be easier to drop one thats already turbo'd in. so any EJ engine will fit? so in theory... a new STI engine would fit? hmmmm the ultimate sleeper... muwhahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbey1982 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 so in theory... a new STI engine would fit? hmmmm the ultimate sleeper... muwhahaha Yes it most likely would "fit" wiring harness would need to be modified... You would probabally want a STI ECU and also a six speed tranny. Not to mention brakes and suspension to handle twice the horsepower and tourque so you dont fly off the road and die Looking at a lot of money for that $10000 maybe Cory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkillazrallying Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 Looking at a lot of money for that $10000 maybe Cory Thats still cheaper than 32000 for a new STI... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbey1982 Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Well thats if you can find the stuff used on ebay...then you would hope it was alive...or find a crashed out sti...if you could thats the only way itd be 10000..... i see you point though...i am doing an AT/MT swap in my car soon....and perhaps a 2.2 to 2.5 or 2.0T here soon COry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
