2005 Legacy GT: replace engine with normally aspirated?


Recommended Posts

Hello people.

 

I'm looking for a newer car to replace my '99 OBW, and I just saw a Legacy GT not far from here with a snapped timing belt. I know I can rebuild the heads and whatnot, but to be honest I couldn't care less for the turbo' extra power, specially if it means using premium gas.

 

So... I'm entertaining the idea of buying the car and replace the engine with a normally-aspirated one (which can be found relatively cheap). The question I have for the local gurus is: how difficult would this be? Do I need to replace have the car if I decide to go this way?

 

Thanks!

Thank you guys. Wire harness and ECU is doable. As long as there's no fabrication...

Unfortunately the car is already sold, but there is an unusually high number of cars with snapped belts these days. I'll keep an eye open.

 

Thanks!
