Reply to "Engine swap- recommended Suby Engine Builder"

Well, yes and/but/then again: Turbos make a lot of heat and it turns out it's pretty tricky to control and ameliorate that in a Speedster or Spyder envelope.

In a Legacy? Easy: just get all the stuff that Subaru made for the turbo'd version of that exact chassis and bolt it onto the factory tabs. Or get the aftermarket "heavy duty" junk that everyone has. It's on Amazon.

But in a 356 Coupe or similar? Now we're into some science, man.

And you won't know exactly how much science you'll need until about halfway through your first driving season.

Then you can count on another two or three seasons of fettling—by which I mean engine-out/engine-in/engine-out shop work—if you are, or can afford to hire, a good scientist.

We've watched guys on this very board live this truth, have we not?
