Noob Question

what motors will fit without any changes whatsoever.
Basically just bolt and go.
Eventually I'll probably do a turbo swap, but for now I need it running.

lol- all EJ series engines bolt in, but none are bolt in and go.

Wiring, and computers are where the issues come in.

You can't just take a NA legacy, bolt in a turbo engine and expect the computer and wiring to just match up and work.

Check out the nabisco forum on conversions- That is a good place for information

LOL I was referring to swapping in an NA for now.
Later on doing a turbo.
so what if any NA EJs will swap in with no problems (I.E. no swapping manifolds, sensors etc.)

Just the EJ22E, maybe the EJ18 but that would be awful in a Legacy. The EJ22 is the only one that you would want and was OBD I, EJ25s and EJ20Ts were OBD II so no bolt in there, the EJ22T won;t be bolt in either. So basically any NA legacy EJ22 is what you want.

Most of the blocks will swap in just fine if you use your heads and accessories.

I've actually seen a 1.8 legacy and I was like WTF!!!
so I guess I'll stick to my EJ22 for the moment.
anyone got a cheap one in chicago?
