Can you put a 2005 wrx engine into outback?

It is possible to put a 2005 WRX engine into an Outback, but it would require some modifications. The WRX engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter flat-four, while the Outback is typically equipped with a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter flat-four. The WRX engine would need to be mated to the Outback's transmission and drivetrain, and the engine management system would need to be reprogrammed to work with the WRX engine. Additionally, the turbocharger and intercooler would need to be installed, and the exhaust system would need to be modified. It is also important to consider the overall weight and balance of the vehicle, as the WRX engine is heavier than the Outback's engine. It is recommended that this type of modification be performed by a qualified mechanic.
