Lawsonmh15 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I have a shot at a turbo from an 02 WRX for $100. How easily would fit onto my 99 SUS 2.5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 If you're just purchasing a turbo.....then it would be rather difficult. You need exhaust piping, intake piping, bypass valve, oil lines to the turbo, and engine managment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattocs Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 You can make anything fit... But will the engine take it without stuff being destroyed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 As Matt mentioned, you can make anything fit. You have two distinct paths in terms of fitment. Get a complete factory setup (that way you know it'll fit) Or go with custom made stuff. Either way, you still have to deal with electrical stuff, and Matt brought up a good point. Just putting a turbo on an engine that it wasn't meant for can cause some issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattocs Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 You'd have to replace parts of the engine. The best bet would be to look for a wrecked car that has a turbo engine in it, and do a swap. The turbo makes a lot of heat and pressue...and a n/a engine might not take it very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
