xoomer Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 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?

Uberoo Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 how a ej20T? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audio_file Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 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 chris 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoomer Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 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-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xoomer Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 its an option but where am I going to find Engine/harness/computer for less than a grand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi subbie Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 EG33 like what huck has done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 To bad I'm not closer to you. I have 2 - ER-27's sitting out in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky92 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausubaru92 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsSVX Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 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.

Turbone Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 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.
