Will it physically fit? have ability to cut and fab. 1987 GL10 has digital gauges. I don't know about XT6. I just have a line on xt6 and gl10 needs to be pulled and redone anyways. xt6 is complete car with no title but low miles. I have two kids and need the wagon. xt6 is long distance so I can't just go measure it. Has anyone put the H6 motor into any other Subaru with a front clip similar to gl10? Actually thinking the whole drivetrain from xt6 under wagon. Have to keep at least some wagon suspension parts. And if I wanted to get extreme I could use turbo from gl10. hell while I'm at it get a second for twin turbo H6.

butanyways:) back to the original questions.

The motor is substantially longer. so the radiator will need to be moved forward a bunch.

 

also, IIRC there is a 3rd motor mount in front. so you'll need to address that.

 

then there's the wiring issue....but that's not a huge deal.

 

 

 

it's more than possible. and there are a handfull of people who have done it.

possibly get a fork lift radiator as these are square and boxy with like 9 or 11 cores. Might fit behind one of the lights? Just a thought

Here is an excellent write up and

the guy that did it is way kewl.

Loyale 2.7 Turbo on here did it.

Thanks a bunch. Best answers/info I've ever received on a forum. Cheers

And thanks for the overhead pic that helps.

oh man you're gonna like the er27 so much more than the ea82

to hell with it, why not go with an SVX motor? or the newer H6? or an RB26DETT?

if you would like to to talk to jesZek(loyale 2.7 turbo) im sure he can help you. he loves helping poeple and he is a super cool guy

heavy, heavier, and too long. RB26DETT is an inline 6 and cross-breeding is not normally cool, especially with a nissan.

plus the ER will bolt up with little issue... if I was going to swap my wagon, I'd do an ER27 OVER an EJ22.... I don't want to have to deal with the whole plate thing because I prefer my tranny.

an EZ 6-cyl is not heavier than any of the other listed options. it's the same external size as a 4-cyl, and uses a plastic intake mani...

 

but, would cost many times more to get ahold of, and get running.

EZ30, doesn't that have a built in immobilizer that is REALLY hardto by pass and won't work unless it sits in it's original body or something weird like that? Although it does use cam chains :cool:

 

ER27 uses the same gearbox pattern, plus the same mounts I believe. So you don't really need to modify anything to put it in except the radiator. Very easy. But you better have a FT4WD box or else that thing is going to be a FWD burnout king.

I believe just the EZ30R does. the older EZ30D did not (and also didn't have AVLS or AVCS).

i put an er27 into my hatchback and used an ej radiator, its actualy about where the stock ea81 sits, you just need suuuuuper duper low pro fans. you'll need custom motor mounts, and you'll have to bash the rear frame rails about a half inch or more on each side.

fits no prob

Like that?

 

Interesting. So the ER will fit in with the EJ radiator with the wider spaced inlet and outlet hoses but in stock position?
