I Donated broknindarkagain Posted May 6, 2011 I Donated Share Posted May 6, 2011 The 2.5 does have a little more pep to it. What do you mean you "blew" it? Spun a rod bearing, blew a hole in the side of the block, blah blah blah blah. You may be able to fix it for cheaper then you can replace it -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

johnegg Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 i understand your desire to stay with the ej25, but any engine you find in your price range will likely need head gaskets , or have bent valves from a busted timing belt. making it more expensive to install. but a low mileage ej22 can be installed with all new timing components and seals for less than $1200. much less if you do the labor your self. given your financial situation this may be your best bet to get your car back on the road. did you look here? http://www.car-part.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnegg Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 if the ej20 engine is the same year group, it will bolt in and could be made to work with the right ecu and wiring harness. but the crossmember and the exhaust will have to be changed at the very least. this means with enough money and time you can do it. i met a guy who put a WRX turbo engine in a 95 impreza sport wagon. and then swapped in a dual range 5 speed trans out of an 80s gl. his son was running 26 lbs of boost before he blew it up.

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted May 15, 2011 I Donated Share Posted May 15, 2011 if the ej20 engine is the same year group, it will bolt in and could be made to work with the right ecu and wiring harness. any EJ series engine from any year will bolt right up with the appropriate subframe / cradle. Twin turbo engines can be used, however they must be converted to single turbo. For the use of another Subaru ECU and wiring harness, you have to splice your stock Legacy harness together with your new one. Like its been said above, read the turbo stick. Any info you want to know is in there. If there are any questions you still, I'll be more then happy to answer them -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted May 15, 2011 I Donated Share Posted May 15, 2011 There is a little more to it then just dropping in the engine lol. And yes, the EJ20K will fit if you replace your stock Legacy subframe/cradle with a WRX one -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
