Without getting into a lot of depth on this subject just wondering if anyone sees a problem with a Subie conversion using a 2005 Subaru Outback XT Turbo 2.5L H4 engine combined with a 901 Transmission. (250hp/359 lbs). Vs other Subie conversion. Also isn’t it usually better to buy a donor car instead of piecing it together (engine/ECM/electronics etc)?

You don't want to attempt the factory ECU. Link or MS3Pro will give you everything you need and none of the OBD2 or Anti theft headaches. Pretty sure both have Subaru base maps so it's almost plug-n-play.
Factory harness is nice. It will need a little work to run stand alone but that is easier than wiring from scratch. I love the low end torque from my V6 so don't discount the Suby -6 based on peak power numbers. Also fewer parts and easier to tune. |
