btna124 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I have Subaru legacy 92 with 2.2l turbo engine and automatic transmission. My question is, can I remove the turbo from the above car and install it on Subaru Impreza 97 with 2.2l engine and manual transmission? If yes how many hp I would gain by this and does the Impreza’s manual transmission stand the extra power? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Btna, I am sorry to inform you that there is quite a bit more involved than just slappin a turbo on a non turbo engine. You could expect about 20 horse power and a blown engine. (piston, rings, head gasket all come to mind) The transmission would probably be okay as the engine would grenade before it had a chance to take out the tranny. Your better bet is to take the entire lump, gear box, rear diff and wiring with the ECU and and and and - -- out of your SS and do the nasty. Shame hackin' a SS like this though. I know it hurts. BTW we have a "search" function at the top of the page. It will reveal testimony supporting this answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxsubaru Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Yeah many people have removed the engine from the SS and put it into a impreza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
