ej18 spfi turbo possibility??
has anyone tried to turbo a ej18 spfi? or is it just simply impossible because of the air flow meter?
Re: ej18 spfi turbo possibility??
I don't know if it's impossible, but I'm sure it will have challenges. I don't know of anyone turbocharging the EJ18 SPFI because we didn't get that motor on the first gen Legacies. I know Impreza got the EJ18, but don't know if it was SPFI or MPFI.
Hopefully someone else can chime in as well.

Find a local tuner and see what he recommends.

Re: ej18 spfi turbo possibility??
In the US, all EJ engines were MPFI.
I know some foreign markets got carbureted EJs, but wasn't aware of an SPFI one anywhere. I'm wondering if there's some incorrect terminology going on here.

Re: ej18 spfi turbo possibility??
nope there is definitely a ej18 spfi in my 1.8GL legacy, but i'm pretty sure we only got it in europe
Re: ej18 spfi turbo possibility??
Aha, makes sense to me. Haven't seen an SPFI one, only carbed. Does yours have a distributor or is it distributorless ignition?
Re: ej18 spfi turbo possibility??
its got a distributor, Im pretty sure its the same motor as the carbed one but with a little more electronics.
