Ok, I have my XT6 and I need a motor- I'm having difficulty finding one locally- and was wondering if I wanted to do something for ease of parts and for better reliability What Kind of upgrade can I do-- I also want to keep a certain level of performance Atlease equal to my XT6

 

EJ22? is that the best option and will that bolt up?

some in washington is having a problem finding subaru parts. I think the earth is about to be sucked into a blackhole.

how a ej20T?

is it really not possible to get an imported ER?! (i had no idea)

there sure are a lot more aftermarket goodies for the EJ's!!

i wonder about the wiring, because now you're not just going from old to new, you're going from 6cyl to 4 . . .?

 

cybrid to non-cybrid might be a blessing

p.s. i could always find out about the difficulty of the conversion from my friend in Oz who put that EJ dual o.h.c. engine in a 6, and then supercharged it

Well, I'm debating because I know that my Block Has to be slightly warped-- I replaced the head gaskets-- and had the heads machined and fluxed- and I'm still overheating-

 

 

I'm debating weather or not I want to pull this motor back out and completly rebuild it get the case machined heads remachined and rebuilding the entire thing! or if I want to just do EG33 if I can find one--

 

every local JDM shop says that they are out of the ER27 my friend just brought one home-- but apparently he got the last one--

how about an EG33??

how about an EG33??

Huck has one in his Frankenwedge.

I know... Shouldn't be too hard to do

 

Tom

its an option but where am I going to find Engine/harness/computer for less than a grand?

I Suggest an EJ25 if you Can... I Know it got two less Cyls, but is Easier to Obtain Parts for it, and its more Lightweighted, Great Horsepower, etc...

EG33 like what huck has done.

seriously

 

I am sure for less than a grand you can find a wrecked SVX

(heck there was one for sale in Tennessee for 500 bucks when I boiught my XT it was option two..... needed a new engine Kmember)

 

I'd like to see a new gen turbo in an XT.

(JDM legacy twin turbo motors are CHEAP since they don't directly swap into a LHD car. but one could always use one STi turbo on one)

To bad I'm not closer to you. I have 2 - ER-27's sitting out in the garage.

You wanted my 30K mile one but never PMed me offers of wanted to figure out cheapest ways to ship...If the other person who wants it doesnt follow through..you have next dibs cause I will want it out of my yard..It gets pulled today

What about an EZ30 from a legacy?

 

Apparently, because they have a timing chain inplace of a timing belt, they are much shorter, like not much bigger than an EJ20-25

its an option but where am I going to find Engine/harness/computer for less than a grand?

 

I get the funny feeling I should be the guy you are talking to.

 

Tom<has 3 of them

your best bet is buying a complete car. it's not hard to find an XT6 in decent shape for a few hundred. i've gotten a ton of XT6's for free or next to nothing.

 

same idea holds true if you want to do a conversion, get a complete vehicle.

I've got a EG33 that needs to be rebuilt. Also have all the stuff needed for a swap and I'm local.

Decide what you want to do and let me know.

I might have some other options available also (ER27)

sweet......... do it man!

Rob I pm'ed you about the eg33 and the er27-- I may have a SVX Lined up Clean with less than a 100k with a blown tranny-- they want $250 for it-- they priced the tranny from the stealership is why its so cheap-

 

 

if it comes down the pipe-- I may not need anything I will know tommorrow---

Alright, let me know what your going to do.

I know you probably have already, but I would definately go and read all you can about how Huck did his EG33 swap. This is not a plug and play deal. as you probably know already.

Well, I would Like to stay Stock if I can-- That way I don't have to remember what came from were--- I have sourced a semi Local er27 for $450 so We shall see-

 

SVX-- They did some research and they want about $1000 for it-
