ShawnW Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 You have the most reliable engine Subaru ever built in your car, unless you just want more power this upgrade isnt worth it. They both bolt right up but youd have to change wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmxpunk Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 To the best of my knowledge the 2.2L Turbo motor is the most reliable. THe 2.2L N/A is a completely different block being opendeck and all. Any Subaru EJ series engine will fit but wiring is a bummer. I am right now installing a 1993 Legacy turbo .2.L Turbo motor into my 95 Impreza. But why do you want to swap. The 2.2 is torquey!!! I gues not as 2.5 is but with the Hydra EMS or the Perfect Power and some exhaust... You'd be set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85Sub4WD Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 THe 2.2L N/A is a completely different block being opendeck and all. No the 2.2L engine up to/through 95 is one animal (non-interference head), the one after that is different (interference head) - if you don't believe me look here http://www.finleyweb.net/default.asp?id=142 - the only difference between turbo and N/A are the pistons used - EJ blocks are all very similar - they just have different sized holes in them for the cylinders for different displacements!! - the heads are where the real differences lie - you are upgrading your impreza by turboing it and getting more power, but you are also getting a non-interference design, so if you break a timing belt, you just put another in it - that is probably where you are increasing your reliability the most The 2.5L engine is the one which changed in the said way - big difference that said, if you want more power, you can probably fit any EJ series engine under your hood - most have very similar/same external physical dimensions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmxpunk Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 You proved yourself wrong with your own post. If you go to that link and go to page 175, you will see that the block for the legacy Turbo is different- different part number. This block was only available in the legacy turbo or in the Liberty turbo in Austrailia. It is closed deck and has stronger internals than the N/A 2.2L. I have done much research on this because of doing a swap. The 2.2 Turbo has piston oil squirters whereas the N/A version does not. There is alot of difference between the inside of these motors. Yes the 2.5 is a whole different animal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballitch Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 hell you CAN fit a SVX motor in it if you want to, you just have to move the radiator to the trunk is all. or you COULD throw in a XT-6 motor, with an adapter to mate your tranny to the XT-6 motor, lots of things you could do, just depends on how nuts you really are, how much money you really want to spend, and how much your wife will put up with...lol ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
