Oh sweet i didnt know i could swap in that trans, that is deffinantly something im going to look into more. Id love to keep the reliability of my 2.2 Thanks alot man!

Thanks Numbchux for the clarification on the twin turbo. The LL Bean edition has the 3.0 6 cylinder correct? Ill look in to that swap and into building my 2.2 . Ive also debated buying an old gl wagon with the dual range trans and swapping my 2.2 into that. I just also wanted a little more juice on road also. Thanks again!

The ej20k is the twin turbo version, with sequential turbos. One for low rpms and one for high rpms. That led me to think it might be able to give me that lowend torque. I dont plan on doing any rock crawling. I mainly want to explore and get to the top of some mountains that my car cant get up yet. And so i can go new places without womdering if my car will getback up. I plan to use the stock transmittion that would come with the engine and ecu. (ebay seems to have decent prices on the swap) as for mods besides the swap i plan to use 2008 forester xt struts with king raised springs and some bigger tires.

Hello, i plan to build a offroadmonster out of my 96 legacy wagon. The offroad capabilities are really surprising for a stock car. Ive fallen inlove with my subaru. Its out-climbed some of my buddies in their lifted jeeps! But i want more which brings me here. Would an ej20k be good for offroading. The low end boost seems like it would let me climb things easier without almost bogging out. I know its more work than an ej20g swap but since an ej20g swap wont give me any more lowend torque than my 2.2 will it will be worth a shot? Maybe? Thanks for any input!
