TheSubaruJunkie Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Sure can! Just make sure you swap the entire exhaust. The engine crossmember. If you dont want to blow your motor up, i suggest you swap blocks as well. If the motor is originally a carburated motor, then you will need to swap your intake manifold, your wiring harness & install the ECU. Oh, and its probably a EA82... -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleas help:-\ I'm not sure if it will bolt up or not, but basically you don't want to do it. The naturally aspirated engines have a lot higher compression than the turbo engines, so if you put a turbo on one you will probably start blowing head gaskets right away. Above and beyond all that, it would probably be a heck of a lot of work to adapt an EA81 turbo setup to an EA82 motor. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
