DriftNlegacy Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Hey people,wassup? I'm wont to put a WRX engine into my 95 Legacy Ls,i've been told thats its a really easy swap except for the wiring harness.Is this true? And how hard would it be to make it a 5-speed from an auto? Also what would be a good price for the combo? By the way I did a search and could not find anything,so don't tell me to do a search. Any help would be good.Thanks.

Chef Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I'd recommend a search. there is a lot of information on swapping to 5 spds and swapping engines in general. I don't think there's been much discussion on putting a WRX engine into a 2nd generation legacy. Hey people,wassup?

CRogge Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I agree. Search DEEPER. Use terms like EJ20t, EJ20g, 2.0 Turbo, swap, WRX, half-cut. If you change your tranny, keep in mind that you will need the rear differential as well so that your gear ratios match. You will probably need the entire front half of the WRX wiring harness, including the ECU, among many other things. -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstwagon Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Here's something on the 5 speed swap... http://www.surrealmirage.com/subaru/swap/swap.html and http://www.legacycentral.org/library/transmission/convert.htm As for the WRX motor, no idea but I would love to see a full story on it if you do it. Nothing like an extra 100 hp to bring an old car back to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
