is it possible to fit and run a ez30 engine out of a 97 Outback in a 90-94 Legacy?

anything is possible.... it depends on how much $$ and time you are able to put into the project..

 

bolting up that engine should not be a problem- it will fit into that body of car, but the problem will be getting all the wiring to work, as the EZ30 is OBDII or that new networking stuff? much more advanced than the EG33, which is a much larger engine...

 

but yes, it can be done.

EZ30 in a 97 OB??

Subaru 6 cyl history

like austin said, definately would work mechanically, but the wiring would be quite in-depth.

 

also, IIRC the EZ30 (might just be the EZ30R) has 2 coolant outputs on the top of the engine, and one input on the bottom, so you'd have to use the radiator to match the engine.

 

the EZ30R is virtually impossible to run in anything but it's factory configuration on a stock ECU. the hydra is possible, but pretty difficult.

 

but an EZ30 would be similar to doing a WRX swap.

 

 

I have some EZ30 plans myself, actually

I would like to see this 97 OB with the EZ engine.

 

Please post a photo or a link to it.

 

If someone put it in an OB the same would go for a Legacy

 

as Chux says it would be a chore but only being 2 cm longer

(less than an inch) than an EJ, the fit would not be the problem.

 

The tranny bolt up and wiring well... they went to 8 bolt bellhousing

but not in 97.

 

The varriable intake and other bits.. good luck

may the power of the Pleiades be with you.

 

 

show me this 97 EZ30 OB first please

show me this 97 EZ30 OB first please

 

i would like to see it as well, if it is in there it is not stock, the 3.0HO wasn't an option untill the 00-04 legacy

i like to fit ez30 in to something too for project

The first six-cylinder engine manufactured by Subaru appeared in the 1989 model year

 

thats wrong its 87

thats wrong its 87

 

 

Actually, 88 here in the US, in the 88 XT6

Need to know if the EZ30 8 bolt bellhousing would bolt up to the EJ 4 bolt tranny bellhousing. Also need to know if the EJ flywheel will bolt to the EZ crank to use an EJ clutch.

I would assume so on both accounts. there have been a number of people that bolt them to the STi 6MT. and since that's interchangeable with the 5MT....

yes they bolt up.

it would be an amazing swap, I would love to see it done. the ez30 is one of the coolest 6 bangers out there. but it will take LOTS of money, time, and skill.

Yeah the 8 bolt bell housing will bolt up to the 4 bolt EJ stuff....

 

Here is a link to a guy that put a EZ into his Rally Impreza Coupe.

The biggest down side to using a EZ30 for me is the cost, as they bring big money from the wreckers....

 

I had originally planned on using the EZ30 in FrankenWedge, but went with the EG33 due to the availability and price.

wish they had pics of it working, cant veiw any coz they redoing parts of the site
