Manarius Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I don't have any references for your swap but I've heard the twin turbo won't fit on left-hand drive cars because the drivers side turbo won't fit next to the master cylinder for the brake and the steering shaft. Am I wrong?Correct. In order to keep both turbos, you'd need a postal or RHD wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamal Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 You'll also need a turbo crossmember, front swaybar, ecu, and wiring harness. You could use a wrx or sti exhaust, turbo, and IC to swap to single turbo without issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOthis Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Correct. In order to keep both turbos, you'd need a postal or RHD wagon. Have you ever heard of anyone trying to modify that design?.......also a buddy of mine has a 1995 impreza ej18 and he is trying to do an ej25 sti swap what exactly would his problem areas be......any insight?

EVOthis Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 thats sounds like a smart idea im sure i can harness close to the same amount of power with the right parts.......does anyone know how much power the bottom end of a stock ej22 can handle.......and also an ej25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamal Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 not much. It's a bad idea to add boost to an n/a block. Especially without turbo pistons.
