The EG33 is a very attractive engine outside of our community. It has a long history as the powerplant for experimental aircraft, often in a turbo-charged application. We've seen posted some images of twin turbo drag race machines.

Jack Laverty at XX Tuning ins Ct. has been driving an NA EG33 Subaru RS coupe at NASA racing events for a couple of years. Check threads at Nasioc for pic's. I spoke with him at Watkins Glen last weekend, and he will be installing a full top end re-do over the winter. Ported and polished heads with a valve regrind and some pretty wild camshafts. Good-bye non-interference. He has ditched the entire ECU and is running a stand-alone system (non-smog legal). He also has a ram air intake system using a hood scoop. I've ridden in the car and it's pretty strong.

The EG33 is one of the best things about our car. For those of us with manual trans, the direct responsiveness and willingness to rev is very sweet. Through the efforts of old and young Tom, Lan, Bill, Kevin, Benebob, Hocrest, Huck,Todd and others, I think we're really beginning to see just how good this engine can be. Their efforts have added immeasurably to my pleasure at the track.
