Rip Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Hello im new here so i hope im in the right spot. I have a 1986 subaru wagon with a carb motor and i have really nice turbo fuel injected motor i would like to put in does anybody know exactly what i need to change to do this swap. I was going to swap intakes but one is a single port and the other is dual port. Can i just change the harness and comp? or is there more?

GeneralDisorder Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Buy a turbo car. The swap is not worth the trouble. Among other things, you would have to swap: Engine cross member (to clear the turbo exhaust) Exhaust manifold - at least back to the mid-pipe Entire fuel system - pump and lines as carb system is not designed for 40 psi Engine computer, and all associated wireing (really need a donor car's wireing harness for all that) All that for like 20 HP (under boost) is not worth the effort. Swap an EJ22 in there. Less work, more HP (135 - no turbo), and donor legacy's are getting aweful cheap anymore. Add to that the EA82T's are just not that reliable - really a troublesome engine compared to the EJ22. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
