Do you guys think it'd be better if I just started building onto the original motor? It was my first initial thought from the beginning, but I'm always looking for different ideas.

Oh okay. I'm glad I came on here and asked about it. We're not as educated with Subaru's compared to Hondas and BMW's. This is my second subie and I've been hooked. So what do you think would the best engine swap for it? The people I know have done a lot of swaps but I'd hate to give them something too complicated like you said before and run the chance of something not working right. I mean now that I see your point, I'm open to anything. I'm just not ready to give up on this car yet. It's non turbo'd (which I hate haha) but I'd like to see if I could do anything to it. Just kind of something I want to experiment with while using my money on the right things. I appreciate the input!

So it's possible, it's just going to be really complicated and pricey

Yeah, I see what you mean. The only reason I'm so hell bent on putting a WRX setup in it is because it's never been done around here and I think it'd be nice to see

Hey guys, I've got a 2005 Legacy (limited). It's a project car and I'd eventually like to swap my engine out for a WRX engine. I know it'll be a pain in the a**, but it's still possible right? My boyfriend wants to put a 2.5 liter in it but I think it should just stay as 2.2 for the sake of having to modify the cross member. Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions? Again, it's a project car so I'm willing to put the time into it. I personally wouldn't be doing the swap. I've other connections but I'd just like some opinions. Thanks!
