Alright, I went and bought myself a mostly completed EJ20R twin turbo swapped legacy.

Awesome folding rear seats. They go completely flat.

And the reason this is getting posted here.

As far as I can tell, the wiring for the ECU is already mostly completed, but I need to find the connector from the rear harness, and sit down with wiring diagrams and a soldering iron. I still need to find a set of fans for the radiator that I have for it and get that put in, I need a fuel pump to keep up with the engine.

Right now im in the process of trying to figure out where several loose hoses are supposed to go, particularly all the vaccume hoses that control the operation of the two turbos.

I'm know that I am in a bit over my head with this, as I have never owned a turbo before and I now have two of them, but I figure it will be a learning experience. I'll keep every updated with whats going on with it.

Nice... www.clubsub.org.nz (http://www.clubsub.org.nz) will be of use I think...

Also check out uklegacy.com too.

I've been lurking on several Australian and European Subaru boards, and they seem to have the most useful information as far as diagrams and information on this specific engine. I do think I will make a thread on it over at legacycentral though to see what kind of input they have.

This morning I spent most of my time figuring out how all the different components of the twin turbo setup are hooked up, and how all the vacuum lines control them. I was getting a little nervous about finding out how they were supposed to meet at the solenoid to control them, but thank god they numbered all of the outputs, and all the hoses, and I found a diagram on some English web site that says where they are all supposed to go.

I also tried hooking up the downpipe to the passenger-side turbo, and found the crossmember that needs to be modified for it to fit. Also emptied the gas tank of all the fuel left in it, it smelled pretty old, and there was a good bit of rust inside the tank that seemed to wipe out with some rags and some elbow grease. Unfortunately, I have to head back to the real world so it might be a week or two before I get a chance to do much else. I am going to get the fuel pump in it next time I have a chance, hook it up to a battery, give it some gas, and hopefully it may turn over, and if I get really lucky it might run.

sounds like a good learning curve project you have there ;)

Keep us posted on any updates. Very interested in seeing what you need to do to get that thing running being the way it was.
