95 JDM EJ20tt to 96 USDM Legacy??
Does anyone have any pictures or links to pages that will help me in my swap? Wire schematics?
I guess since the ej20 motor is right hand drive I will need to spend some time rerouting the wire harness. By the way, is it a big difference if the harness is cut and one that is complete? Forgive me, I'm a rookie at this stuff.
Also, I heard that I will have a big issue also since the turbos will interfere with the steering and other thing due to the conversion from right to left hand drive.
Is it worth it??
If not....what can I do to my stock 2.2L? I hear in the 95-98 year range the motor was different???? I hear so many different things.
Thanks in advance for you input and direction.

how about a single turbo version instead ..
the TT is a pain in the *** .. you have to custom build headders/exaust piping to deal with the steering rack

I haven't done this, but doing a lot of research trying to do my own swap, I ran into a couple people attempting to do this, and that have already tried. I have been told all times, it was hard, and it every case I heard of, not worth doing at all. To much work, hassle, problems. The single turbo EJ20, either USDM or JDM was so much easier and is done on a fairly frequent basis by some people on this board and on another. So if I where you, go the EJ20t route. Did you happen to already purchase the motor? peace and good luck

If you are putting in the twin turbo engine into the car it is really difficult. I have seen it done successfully on one car but the car was done overseas. The biggest problem that you would run into with putting in this engine would be the second turbo. The reason is because on the US cars, the brake boost and master cylinder on that side and take up quite a bit of space needed for that extra turbo. I would have to say that it is probably not worth doing this conversion but going with the straight EJ20 swap because it has been done before several times.
