Mikie, many thanks mate, have a nice weekend.

Mikie, fantastic, many thanks. In my "project" I planned that the height of the engine containing box must not be much higher than 500mm, and you measured 600mm height of the engine. I wonder if you can assess whether the intake manifold/throttle assembly can be modified w/o too much problems to go "sideways" rather than up - to save height - or these are "hard" points, i.e., part of the main block casting, etc.? Also, I am not very familiar with Subaru engines, is the EJ20 Quadcam the most powerful 4-cyl engine of Subaru, or has the same block (which is OK for my project, in such case). Can you also assess the weight of this engine with the gearbox and diff. Even very approximate is ok for me, i.e., is it 100 kilos, 200, 300, etc., or north of 500kg? Thanks again!

Hi, i am new to this forum. i am an amateur car designer. A project i am working-on now (as a hobby) is a sports car with a boxer engine. the limitations i have is to package the engine and gearbox in a very tight "box". therefore, I want to see if Subaru flat-four turbo or H-6 and its gearbox (no-need in front/rear diff, the design is rear wheel drive) can be packaged in a tight space. Especially of importance is the height of such engines or their blocks. I wud therefore appreciate greatly if someone can, even if approximately tell me the physical dimensions (also the weight, if possible) of Subaru's most powerful engines and gearbox (guess there are two, the H-4 Turbos and H-6). Easier still perhaps the question shud be: what is the minimal rectangular box that one can fit Subaru most powerful engines. many tks for your help.
