As with the turbo swap on a Legacy, you have to have a turbo C/M if you plan on putting a turbo motor into the Loyale. If the Loyale is a non-turbo then you will have to replace the C/M with one out of a turbo GL or Loyale. There will be more info on the EJ22 type swap Here..... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/for ... y.php?f=29
I used to have a GL wagon that I put an EJ22 in and it MAKES ONE HECK OF A DIFFERENT CAR!!!!!!
G/L with the swap.

You can do it without swapping the crossmember but will have to be creative and build a new up pipe. But if your going to take the time to do it, find a turbo cross member and just swap it(this is what I wish I did).
It will turn the car into a different animal, and you will never want another EA-82 in it again
. Go to the USMB and look at the Subaru conversion forum, piles of good info there.

ha i figures some one had but its fun to be he first. i got a spare cross member but if i didn't id just modify the existing one i weld all day and have some fabbing under my belt. what i wold really like is to move the engine behind the front wheels and make it RRD i got a welded dif for the rear lsd would be best but budget build.
what about suspension i thinki i could use a porche koni in the rear and maybe a custom strut type for the front?

If I rember right, you cant really modify the N/A crossmember since the P/S lines and sway bar are in the way(right were you would be placing the exhaust). But I might have also just been to lazy to do it and thats why I didnt cut it up.
