Hows it all,
Some may think of me as a Subaru traitor but I am thinking of doing something different
I am on the path of transplanting a Twin Turbo Toyota V8 into my 96 STI V3 Wagon. Has anyone else done this? or can anyone think of anything that would be a problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

v8?! when did this happen?!?! i thought the 2jz engine was inline 6! maybe im just jumpin to conclusions and he has some crazy suv engine only sold in new zealand

wow thats gonna cost a lot of money, good luck

 

You're right 2JZ is a 6 but am lookin at the 1UZ-FE from the Soarer and bolting a couple of aftermarket snails on the side .Expensive? Yes, but with a mate that specializes in Toyota V8 conversions and also custom fabrications Im budgeting for around $12000 and hope to have it ready for the 2007 NZ Nats.

 

sounds heavy to me

 

ur crazy man but that thing is gonna be real fast and the only one around because its to heavy for a subaru. whatever floats ur boat

 

ive seen the twin turbo V8 setup already, theres a girl in Washingotn State with a twin turbo Lexus SC coupe w/ Tundra V8, twin turbo'ed, but not in a Suby... good luck

 

the 1UZ isn't heavy

 

All aluminum v8 for the win!

 

Are you sure that will even physically fit under the hood of an Impreza? I'm betting it's far too tall.

 

some guy on nasioc put an ls1 corvette engine in his bugeye. he is a scammer though so he isnt as cool at if he was an honest person lol.
