Are you going to swap the entire engine in? Your normal 2.2 will not hold up with a turbo if you just takes the parts off and do the swap btw.

JT95 Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 The best bet would be to dig, dig, dig on the phone with salvage yards. There are some parts locator services on the web, but I'd get phone listings and call away. The ideal scenario would be to find one in an area where Subaru doesn't really have a big name. A 94 wrecked Subaru in lots of rural places--especially in the South--is pretty much worthless. If you find one you could probably get it much cheaper than if someone found one for you as a service. Plus, if you wanted to pull the turbo out yourself--which is what you want to do--buying a wrecked donor car would be a lot cheaper than one on the road.

There is one in your general neck of the woods: http://www.barlowauto.com/ They are in Rainer, WA and it $600 with 96,ooo miles. Poke around, you are bound to find one if you are patient. Right now there are 3 on eBay but too much $$. Good luck, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
