JDM 2.5L H4 DOHC Turbo EJ255 Engine for 2010-2012 Subaru Legacy GT Complete Swap

2010-2012 Subaru Legacy GT JDM Engine 2.5L H4 DOHC Turbo EJ255

Direct-fit turbocharged replacement for the 2010-2012 Legacy GT, pulled from a low-mileage JDM donor. The EJ255 carries forward Subaru’s proven turbo boxer architecture with a stronger short block than the naturally-aspirated EJ253, forged-friendly internals, and enough factory headroom to handle a bolt-on or two without immediately living on borrowed time.

Complete Swap Includes:

• Engine long block (head & block assembly)
• Turbocharger (factory twin-scroll unit)
• Intake manifold
• Exhaust manifold
• Ignition coils
• Alternator
• Power steering pump
• Wiring harness
• ECU (confirm VIN compatibility — immobilizer-paired on most 2010+ Subarus)

Specs:

• Engine Code: EJ255
• Displacement: 2.5L (2457cc)
• Configuration: Horizontally-opposed 4-cylinder (boxer), DOHC, turbocharged
• Valvetrain: Chain-driven DOHC
• Fuel System: Multi-port fuel injection
• Condition: Low-mileage JDM import
• Compatible Years: 2010-2012 Legacy GT (confirm trim/VIN before ordering)

Condition:
Compression and leak-down tested, boost/vacuum lines and turbo shaft play checked before listing. Turbo units get inspected for shaft wobble and oil residue in the housing — a healthy-sounding engine can still be hiding a tired turbo, so we check both separately.

Fitment Note:
This is the turbo GT engine, not the NA 2.5i — manifolds, downpipe, and ECU tuning are turbo-specific and won’t cross over to a naturally-aspirated Legacy. Confirm your Legacy is the GT trim before ordering.

Shipping:
Freight shipping available, engine crated and secured for transit.
