if I may direct your attention to the newbie forum. Plz check out my topic there. It refers to older subarus so it's a bit tougher than these questions. I need/need to know a few things relating to EJ20's and motor swapping as well as transmission info. Such as: Will an EJ20 destroy my stock tranny? If I need a new tranny, where could I get another that would fit my car and be compatible with the engine. I can't find too many intercoolers or whole EJ20's hardly anywhere. I found an EJ20 block on eBay but that still didn't help me much. Anywho, I have a few more questions and hope that my cry for help is answered.
