Okay this has been a long time coming. I am finally going to pull my incredible, reliable, powerfully awesome 158 hp NA 2.5 Subaru Drivetrain. In goes my new 2.5 Subaru Turbo motor out of a 2009 Forester XT. I will be pushing 220 plus depending on if I upgrade my turbo over the stock one. Pretty sure I am sticking with stock to start. That is a pretty easy bolt on upgrade later. I have a 2004 WRX 5speed tranny to mate up to it. Will be doing a firewall engine mount connecting to a Small car motor mount. Tranny ears for the back. Using Outfront header to move the turbo around the front of the motor. Outfront Wiring harness to the Stinger ECU. Still need to figure out the intercooler but staying in the engine bay under a GT grill. More details to follow but plan to pull my old drivetrain this weekend.
Okay so plans have changed & I am going to be putting in this 2005 WRX motor with 55k on it. My 2.5 will go in eventually but my plans are to build it out a little more. Going to get a larger turbo for it & other odds & ends to push 400hp with it. So this 2.0 motor will be pushing 220 easy & looks great Attached image(s) |

Jamie, question- are you still going with the stinger computer? What computer are you running now on your 2.5L that was in your car? I'm doing a 2.5L conversion on an off-road car and looking for a cheap and easy computer solution. |

I'm doing a 2.5L conversion on an off-road car and looking for a cheap and easy computer solution. Yes a Stinger ECU from out front on both counts. Also their custom wiring harness for it. I would say it is easy but it sure isn't cheap. Stinger ECU will run around $1400 I believe. Wiring harness another $5-600. So your into it 2k for your ECU & wiring. Probably only triple what you paid for your actual motor. Cheap & easy your better off pulling the complete wiring harness. Then using the stock ECU. All the documentation is online about how to cut down the harness to make it stand alone. You can also just send off the wiring harness to have someone else do it. Then again that also isn't cheap. |
