quick ems question

Post by MikeyMeyagi »

i want to turbo my na legacy (just like 23434232 other ppl), the only question i have is if i get a stock turbo ecu, injectors and pressure sensor, theres no other parts required for engine management....im not looking to run more then 6-7 psi...(its my daily driver)
thanks

The MAF is different
You're also going to need a boost control solenoid (even if you're running MBC, you need it there to keep the ECU happy). You need a wiring harness, a different IAC and TPS(someone correct me if Im wrong on that one)

Probably some other things that Im forgeting.

You'll also need turbo legacy heads and waterpump.

Honestly, you're much better off finding a whole EJ22T longblock. There will be far less work, the result will be safer (cracked rods FTL), and it probably wont be any more expensive. They can be had for under $800 if you look around.

i have the aluminum maf sensor, which ive heard ppl using on turbo cars, i forgot about the boost control soloniod tho. as long as i have a wire diagram, i should be able to hook up the added electrical components. i have a set of gen 1 DOHC ej25 heads to bump the compression down, and the water pump from the same engine.

Well if you're taking the heads off anyway, I'd suggest getting a set of turbo pistons and dropping them in. It's easy to do if the heads are off.
