Garage Tuning first opened it's garage door (quite literally back then) to do Subaru engine swaps. Since our first swap, we have gone on to do more swaps than anyone in the country. From Japanese spec EJ20G to USDM STi swaps with fully functioning DCCD and immobilizer systems, we've done it all. While we can do full dashboard swaps, we prefer not to due to safety and fitment issues. Swapping engines with a modern Subaru is much more involved than just swapping the engine out. The entire dashboard is removed to allow merging of the 2 wiring harnesses. With other brands of automobiles, the merging is merely with the engine. The Subaru wiring is much more involved and spider webs throughout the car. Once we are finished wiring, the car is as reliable as if the car came equipped with the replacement engine from the factory.

Misc...

Right Hand Drive (RHD) Option $2000, dash included.
This option is only available at this price when installing a JDM engine. Converting a car without a JDM engine and harness is possible, but will cost $5000 as there are many parts to be sourced and serious wiring harness modifications are needed.
