Twin Turbo Engine

Big_Will · 01-23-2002, 06:20 PM

Hey Everybody,

I'm thinking of getting a JDM Twin Turbo EJ20 engine for my project car (building a roadster body on a 97 outback frame). However, everybody who has one doesn't have the ECU. Without the ECU I would have to get a programmable computer that costs more than the engine to run it. I know I saw one twin turbo Legacy in the bling bling thread. Maybe you guys can help me out. Can some of you who live in the cool car places like Japan and UK get your hands on the twin turbo ECU and wiring harness and sell it to me?

I also heard that the UK got a left hand drive version of the twin turbo. If anybody has access to parts of this engine, please let me know. Apparently, there are fitment issues with the steering stuff and the second turbo on the JDM engine.

Man, using this engine sounds like a crappy idea doesn't it? haha

Will

The rumors of a LHD twin turbo are so far just rumors. The UK drives on the other side of the road, so they get RHD cars. The twin turbos they get are grey market, not official Subaru imports.
