Subaru RX engine swap...

13 April 2018 - 03:07 AM

Hi, I have a 98 subaru RX impreza EJ20 2.0ltr wagon, rally blue. Has headers, cannon etc...

The motor has a lot of k's on it and I'm thinking about upgrading the engine for a new model or one with low k's. So I thought while I'm at it I'll replace it for a turbo engine and rebuild the engine before putting it into the car.

My question is what engine should I put into it and what modifications are required to turbo the car. I understand the ECU and wiring harness will need to be changed. What else?

I've seen people putting 2002 WRX engines into the 98-2000 impreza is this be a good option? Or should I put the 2.5ltr turbo engine into it?

I know just buy a WRX blah blah blah.. I really don't see any difference between the rx and the wrx other then the engine/gearbox, bonnet, dash cluster and few other minor things... Plus for the price I could rebuild a engine from a wrecked wrx and turbo my impreza and Know its going to last me awhile...
