Tribeca engine Anyone have good pics?
Just curious on how the H-6 engine looks in comparison to the svx? I got some specs but were curious how much the engine might be alike forfuture swaps?
"3.0-liter DOHC aluminum-alloy 24-valve 6-cylinder horizontally opposed SUBARU BOXER engine with Active Valve Control System (AVCS) and Active Valve Lift System (AVLS). Iridium spark plugs." There is one pic of the h-6 cover on the website but didnt have any luck finding other ones. |
since there will probobly be a market for the 3.0l h6 it might not be an entirely horrible idea to upgrade to the 3.0 If it was possible that is

Isn't it the same one in the Outback?

Looks like it might be possible. Ill stop by a dealership one of these days and take some pics from the bottom. |
what do we have in the line of dimensions??

-Chike P.S. Even though this engine has an extra 20hp, due to it's smaller displacement, its down on torque (3.0 H6 makes ~212ft-lbs, while EG33 makes 228 ft-lbs). Personally, I'd stick with the EG33... ;) |
while this may be true, the aftermarket upgrades may be worth the while of the swap. That was my main point

Besides, do we know how much it can be bored/stroked?

if you're gonna go to the trouble of replacing the engine, why not throw in the STi engine - at least that makes some power. |

I doubt we will see much aftermarket for the 3.0 and the tribecca isnt the type of car that enthusiasts are going to buy with the thought of upgrading in mind. |

Haven driven both the 2.5 turbo and the 3.0, hands down the 3.0 wins in my book because it is silky smooth and the power is always there. I'm definately not a big fan of subarus new turbo lag they seemed to get in trade from Saab for the 9-2. |
I'd take displacement over turbos any day. I don't know why Subaru has such a fascination with turbo Boxer 4's when their H-6's are superb. I only with that the new Legacy's came with H-6's; but sadly, they do not.
