1986Brat Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I heard that someone in the local Subaru club is selling a nice EJ205 motor for a good price and I was going to pull the 2.5 out of my legacy anyways to change throw out bearing, head gasket, and timing belt... So I'm thinking I might just make myself a turbo wagon. Ive never dealt with any turbocharged motors before, and I was wondering if anyone knows what else I'll have to throw into my legacy to accommodate the 205? Most of the swap info I've found online involves 90s legacys so I was hoping y'all would help me figure out what I'm getting into, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt167 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 need 02-04 wrx wiring, and you will want a 5spd. I think a stock ej205 will be ok with the power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1986Brat Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Just found a pretty good resource for this swap, but once again deals with older legacys http://igotasubaru.com/showthread.php/18-DIY-Turbo-Swap-Info One thing i'm unclear about is whether or not my stock 5 speed trans/clutch is going to be okay with the 205, this guy says "probably." Any idea what the cost of a proper ECU plus tuning would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
