Need help from someone who has a turbo Baja and a camera

Post by Nitro350Z »

I could use some help from my fellow Baja owners. I've got an 03 Baja, and I recently got a rolled over 2010 Impreza WRX and I'm planning on swapping the drivetrain. I know my non-turbo cross-member wont work so I'm going to be ordering a new one, I just want to get some pictures of a turbo Baja crossmember to compare to mine to see what it looks like before I order. I just want to make sure I wont have any clearance issues and to compare how the non-turbo cross-member to the turbo cross-member.

So if anyone who own a turbo Baja and a camera could take some pictures of their crossmember, specifically around the uppipe area, I would really appreciate it.

Didn't get pictures but talking with Subaru and looking online at aftermarket parts it looked like I shouldn't have any issues with fitment. I ordered the turbo crossmember and I'm currently doing the swap so I guess I'll see in the next week or two.

My NA 2.5 '03 Baja engine is in need of a complete overhaul after 225K miles so I'm considering something similar to what you're doing. I'd love to hear how your drive train swap works out. Keep us informed.

Thanks!

There's a bunch of delays with various things so hopefully it'll be done before the end of the month. Once I'm done the project I'll post a build thread here or on Nasioc, I've been trying to take pictures of the progress so hopefully I took enough and remember everything I did.
