YnotDIY Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hey ya'll I've been doing some research and all I can come up with is that Subaru made the Boxer diesel in 2008. maybe this is the wrong forum for this, but I'm curious if there is anything earlier than 2008.....

turbosubarubrat Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Western Washington University highly modified some ea81's to run on diesel but never went into production. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbchux Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Subaru has never sold a diesel in the US. The EE20 has been available in Europe since 2008. More than a few have been imported and swapped into various things, Boxeer has done many, including running pikes peak in a GC Impreza with one a few years ago, and driving to the southern tip of South America and back to Tennessee in an EE20 Vanagon Westfalia Synchro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagonist Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 You don't want the Subaru diesel anyway. It's crap compared with the similar capacity diesel offerings from other manufacturers. They only did it to get the euro sales (mostly, hence there was not auto gearbox option for a few years) and a few other places like here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are those that love them, and those that hate them.... Either way, we really don't have anything here. VW is pretty much the only manufacturer that brought small turbo diesels to the US, and now most of those are being recalled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
