Would you buy this Subaru?


Recommended Posts

Pics would be helpful...but yeah, i probably would. You could make out like a bandit if ya wanted to fix'n'flip it.

Well I saw another that will run but has rod knock.. the thing is i can't find what a decent price is for a used replacement motor

 

The one that has rod knock is $2000 but at least no bumper damage or cracked windshield.

That hasn't stopped anybody from turboing them before. The pistons are the same material as any of the factory turbo engines. The difference between an na engine and a turbo engine is compression and management. You'll have the management already in the car, and the 255 heads will take care of dropping the compression to a very turbo friendly 8.5:1 with a set of .040" cometic gaskets.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you planning on turboing the 22e/25d hybrid in the outback?

Yes I was but I would of had to input that stuff myself as far as engine management

It's more in the tuning that anything else. On rs25.com there was an ej25d making 500+ at the wheels, granted it had sti internals. But one hell of a tune and 40psi.

I remember reading that thread

Over on legacycentral there have been postings of running as much as 20 psi through them, with tuning of course. Don't remember off hand what power that was made.

That's pretty good

Sounds like a real project car- might be fun to work with with, but $2,300 seems too much.

 

If I was looking for another Legacy at this point, I like the 2005- 06 (early 4th gen) Outbacks- seen a couple nice looking ones in the $4- $5K range.
