Ashley symes Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Hello everyone I'm new to this club, I have just brought myself a Subaru Impreza sport wagon, It's a lovely car brilliant to drive it's just missing that one thing I love and that's the turbo I know this is a common question and people get annoyed with the post sorry!!! But my question today is can I conver my N/A engine into a turbo without spending to much money Or can I just buy another engine,Loom,Ecu and just install and drive? And what's the rough price it's going to cost me?
quit Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 No it's very complicated really , not worth it as your insurance will be more than a normal uk turbo 1
savage bulldogs Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I agree with matt I'm afraid it's far to much effort and the insurance would be more expensive than just buying a turbo version in the first place . It can be done but you'd need a complete donor wagon for parts . Ecu Loom Struts Arbs Drivetrain Brakes Engine and auxiliaries . And plenty of free time and space . If you can afford to insure a turbo why not just buy one and fit the good bits off the sport [emoji6]
Ashley symes Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Ok brilliant, thanks for your time and advice, just I'm 21 and my insurance is sky high, so i am going to wait a year before getting a uk turbo thanks again :)

joel12900 Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 I have the GX sport 2.0L! (Y) I was wondering (might be a daft question but...) if it uses a boxer engine or not?? :/
Rick 2014 Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Im 99% sure it has mate but pop us a picture up
stants Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 It does you just don't get the burble due to the equal length headers
joel12900 Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Cheers guys! Now looking at where the spark plugs are, it makes sense.
