Subaru_Mechanic Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 anyone ever put or thought of putting a SVX engine in a 1980's subaru? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 It would be very hard to accomplish due to fitment issues. The WRX EJ20G has approximately the same horsepower output as the SVX EG33 and is easier to come by... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suberdave Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 the SVX EG33 has 230HP and the EJ20G has 240-275 depending on year. and will fit easyer and is cheeper. just my $0.02 -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 yeah stick with the ej20g.. lot lighter too than the EG33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 There is a guy who lives here in South Australia that is putting the EG33 in a 83 Brat. Should be interesting..

SakoTGrimes Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Adam NDJ did it in his Gen2 Brat. Or maybe it was from a Legacy, but it was a six and not an ER27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know where Adam is right now? military, don't remember which service. he toasted the rear output on his tranny, and started working on it (I don't think he got it fixed), and then was called to duty.

GeneralDisorder Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 He's ARMY - national guard, and I *think* he's in afghanistan - that's where my unit went a few months after I got out. Rotations are usually 18 months. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy D Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 i would think the EG33 would be a way way cooler engine than an Ej20....think an ej20 has been turbocharged, and in a big way tooo, to get that power. eg33 is N/a compression baby no boost!....but then again ive never riddin in an Ej20 conversion.....hey dave, take me for a ride next time i see you.

D- Yeah, the biggest plus on the EG33 in my XT6 is INSTANT torque, from idle up...no waiting for boost to build, but throw you back in the seat torque:burnout: ....plus I always like doing things that hadn't been done:grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
