godwine Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hi all, I am new to this site, but not new to a automotive base forum. My question is this, I have a 99 Subaru Legacy (Outback, I am confused with this Outback brand, some suggest that its a term used for the Legacy only, some said it means wagon, while I saw plenty of Impreza wagon with Outback branded), unfotunately, I am having that problem of engine vibrating at 2500 rpm, anyways, my real question is, has anyone ever try putting a turbo charger in these 2.5 engine? Does such thing exist? Is there a kit that can be purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinsUBARU Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 1999 Outback Sport = Impreza wagon with 2.2L engine and raised suspension/two tone body 1999 Outback = Legacy wagon with 2.5L engine and raised suspension/two tone body As for turbocharging the 2.5l in your Legacy Outback, well....these engines don't respond well to any boost with the stock internals/gasgets. It is cheaper and far more cost effective to buy a engine and tranny from a WRX and start there...($2500 to $3500 depending on mileage). Not to push you away from this forum, but have you ever checked out NASIOC ? While people here have experience with turboing the 2.5l and such, you might find even more useful information there as there are a couple forums that address just what you are asking. Use the search function and you will find what you are most likley looking for. Good luck and welcome Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
