My $850 Ebay score.....

Subaru Legacy ENGINE 96 BG5 EJ20DETT with 88,000 miles....

Got the motor 100% complete, tranny, ECU wiring harness, axles, full exhaust and some other stuff.

Really not sure what I am doing with it yet. I may or may not keep the tranny and swap it into the wagon with a turbo legacy rear end if the gearing matches up and sell the motor and ECU, or I may just part it out.

You need to find a Mail Wagon Doug...

I don't think the wife would be too happy if I added another Subaru to the corral. I already have two dedicated race cars as it is....

i was under the impression that the twin turbo engines didn't fit in our cars...

Another one of those amazing ebay Subaru/Nissan mutant engines?

But seriously, it seems like a shame to part that out, with all the hoses and whatnot all together. I agree with Nick on this, put it to use whole.

They fit in the mail wagons, cause they are right hand drive.

oh i see, i see.

is there any way to make it fit besides removing one of the turbos?

or would you have to do a full RHD conversion?

Nice find. i though it was really odd that there was a twin turbo ej20 when i found out about it, but it looks pretty sweet.

so, are there just clearance issues with the turbo set up and the steering rack, or what?

to use the thing as a whole would be cool but....that vacuum routing is absolutely ridiculous. if you have a vacuum diagram you would be fine. But that tranny is a gem. when the guy dropped it off i was in shock to fine that it was a manual. seems like 99 percent of them were autos. doug i also hate you. see ya tomorrow. lets get drunk
