JDM Subaru EJ20 Turbo Engine (Impreza WRX)

This is a used JDM Subaru EJ20 Turbo engine, the turbocharged, 16-valve flat-four that replaced Subaru's older EA engines starting in 1989 and went on to power the brand's rally and street performance models, imported with roughly 51,210 km, about 31,000 miles, on it.

What's included

The package includes the head and block, automatic transmission, intake and exhaust manifolds, AC compressor, intercooler and turbocharger, fuel injectors and fuel rail, power steering pump, alternator, flexplate and torque converter.

What to check before buying

This EJ20 family covers a range of outputs and turbocharger setups across different Subaru applications; confirm the exact output, compression and turbocharger model for this specific unit with us before ordering, since this family spans a wide range rather than one fixed figure.

Who it suits

Because it's paired with an automatic transmission rather than a manual gearbox, it suits a like-for-like automatic Impreza, Forester or Legacy replacement more directly than a manual swap project, where keeping the factory flexplate and torque converter pairing intact saves sourcing a separate automatic driveline.
