I want a 20TT in my legacy...will it bolt in?? Tranny?

Post by legacycontinues »

I found a 20TT on Ebay for a good price but I want to know what it will take to make it driveable?

I want to do a 5MT swap anyways.

Should I purchase the front half of a JDM or just the engine? I can get either one.

I figure if I get the front half, I will get the harness, alot of exhaust, radiator, IC......Blah blah blah...

I hear it won't fit due to some exhaust issues. If I get creative will it fit?

VERY creative. I'd get the front clip if you're going that route as otherwise, you'll need standalone. It may be useful if when you see what the conversion entails exhaust-wise that you also have the option of swapping to RHD instead.

The brake MC gets in the way of something to do with the secondary turbo, and yeah something with the steering too.

I think I am just going to buy one and have it exported. I found a place in Japan that sells them cheap and handles all aspect of shipping.

I want that front plastic cover that says 'boxer'.

That'd be pretty sweet.
