kingbobdole Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Dude... caps lock OFF..... Anyhoo, the EA82 series lift will fit the xt... they are the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadyirishmen Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Only time you'll have to change anything (other than lifting your car), is when you put large tires on, then you have to start cutting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstSubaruGLwagon Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 When ordering your lift kit, don't forget to specify what type of transmission and steering you have on the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A DOG Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 but would i have to change my engine or drivetran No. Unless you want more power. If you get bigger tires it takes away from your gearing. Making it feel like you lost some power, but not much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosDiosDeVerde86 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 yes what....the motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 what....the motor? Engine + computer + wireharness. Even if it's an XT4 NA I wouldnt bother with a motor swap. EA82 MPFI will have plenty of power to move a lifted XT body and upto 30" tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadyirishmen Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Well you don't need a turbo, its only if you buy a turbo car. I don't think there are to many people running turbos in lifted subaru's most people are putting EJ engines in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 yea, I only know of one guy running an EA82T on a lifted car...vanislru and if you're talking about converting your car to turbo, it's alot more complicated, almost as complicated (as far as wiring is concerned) as an H6 swap....not to mention exhaust, oil, coolant lines, intake, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
