trying to turbo 95' 2.2 wagon

mikeylevenwrx · 02-22-2011, 08:04 PM

Me and my buddy are trying to turbo his 95 2.2 impreza wagon. we have no idea what kind of parts we need to do this conversion. Not trying to spend a lot of money were just gonna get used parts maybe some 02-03 wrx parts if possible. so if anybody knows what parts we need to do this job we'd appreciate it.

There are 100 different ways to turbo a subaru engine.

If he plans on running more than 6 psi of boost he should be looking into a WRX or STI engine swap. The non-turbo engines do not hold up to boost well.

If 6 psi is all he wants he'll need a turbo exhaust manifold and up pipe, a FPR, a better fuel pump, a WRX front crossmember (or a turbo legacy crossmember), an intercooler, a turbo (I'd recommend a TD04 for low boost on the 2.2), an exhaust that will fit, the applicable intake piping to make it all fit, and probably a bunch of other parts. You can do it for around $1500, but don't expect 300 hp without an engine swap.

If you want to run low boost then go with a VF11. Full 8 psi boost @ 2,300 if really low end torque and quicker spool is your thing.

If you're looking for anything with more horsepower, then I suggest some hybrid heads, and maybe forged internals

or

Time to swap out the engine/harness.
