[Turbo question]

Before I get all the talk about trading it in for a gt they are scarce in my area for a used one. The closest one is 700 miles away.

[Turbo question]

So I was curious about doing an engine swap and from what people are telling me that I'm in over my head. My new question I need help with is I have an 09 legacy 2.5i. I want to put a turbo on it, what all do I need to do. Ive been told that it won't just bolt up without replacing every thing in the combustion chambers.

[engine swap from ej20 to fa20]

What about swapping to an EJ257 I can pick one of them up at the same place as the FA20. I really dont want to trade the car in. I was really hoping that I could do an easy engine swap. I also have available to me both wiring harnesses and computers for both motors. The EJ257 is in an 05 wrx still and the FA20 is in a 13 BRZ. Both totaled with low miles. The still has 45k and brz has less then 1k.

I will be honest im not much of a subaru wizz. This is my first Subaru, and I was told the EJ25 has to high compresion to add a bolt on turbo with out having to rebuild the engine. I can get a FA20 motor for $400 out of a wrecked BRZ and was reading that the FA20 has more room for upgrading. The main goal is that im not satisfied with acceleration in my legacy. I feel the 2.5 is not big enough for the weight of the legacy.

I have an 09 legacy 2.5i. I brleive its an EJ20 I want to know if I would be able to swap it out for the FA20. Would bolt up with minor modification.

 

Thanks for any advice.
