what exactly needs to be done to complete this?
im buying the motor from a 91 legacy turbo and building somthing for my 98 2.5rs impreza. my impreza has a dohc motor and i think it have variable valve timing as well (not 100% sure) i supposedly can bolt in the shortblock with my heads and such, add a turbo kit w/some form of engine control and have a monster.
i also need to make it pass obd2 emissions, anyone know about that?

Check the conversions and aftermarket turbo forums....you'll find your answers there. And no, you do not have AVCS...

which cars do have the valve timing? mine has a very distinct surge of power at around 3500rpms. it kinda feels like vtec kicking in. thats why i thought i had it

Only the 2003 STi has it (in the U.S.)

all the cool outbacks have vtec stickers on them.

ahhahah


and v tec would never kick in at 3500, there is no reason to have it that low.

::cough cough:: spool up. not AVCS. of course i don't know how u get spool up on an NA Outback.

But there does seem to be a sweetspot from 3000 rpm on suabru motors.
