subaru_styles Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 no need to do all that work!!, just install the NA block with the turbo heads(plugged turbo lines) and manifold. now you got MPFI non turbo . also the non turbo headers ( y pipe) will bolt to you exhasut where your downpipe used to be..

idosubaru Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 you'll need the Exhaust header/y-pipe and intake hose from the air box for the non-turbo engine. i just did this swap a few weeks ago. just swap the long block and leave the intake manifold that is in the car which would include all the sensors and such. you might have to swap the knock sensor from your turbo block to the NA block if it doesn't have it.

subaru_styles Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 gary its not an xt so he wil need the turbo heads too, since they are dual port.. his na engine will either be spfi/carb, which have single port heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 nice call! so if he didn't want to deal with swapping heads he could swap the entire EA82 non-turbo engine assembly (entire thing) into the turbo car. throwing that option out there in case he doesn't want to do any engine work. either way, you can get what you want without any wiring issues.

subaru_styles Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 well if he uses an entire na motor (non xt) he will not be able to use his MPFI manifold. so then there will be wirring issues if he wants to keep it fuel injected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxsta Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 I did plan on taking the turbo engine for another project and installing a carbed ea82......so i guess ide need part of the loom....upon installation of the turbo into its new body,also, ii was keen to fit an aftermarket ecu...so i could eliminate the maf...and run a map instead, then fit a pod straight onto the turbo inlet....this would be in a sadnrail so an intercooler probly wont be needed as i only plan to run stock boost... but with the wiring (i guess ill find out along the way) does anyone have an idea on how much or little i can leave in .. can i plug my n/a wiring in along the way somewhere..or do i reef the lot out???
