Re: JDM Impreza EG33 Develpment Car

It's always been a source of wonder to me that Subaru dropped the EG engine and introduced the EZ series.

Maybe the difficulty of shoehorning the bigger lump into the Impreza chassis sent them back to the drawing board to make something smaller?

Maybe when they tried out the EG33 as an endurance engine they hit the same overheating wall that most of our racers have been hitting? Le Mans with the EG33 was nothing but a dream?

I can see why with what we now know that you would be sceptical about any Le Mans ambitions for the EG33. However, until they ran the tests maybe Fuji did not know at that time there was a cooling problem? Maybe the EZ series engine is the answer to the problems that Le Mans aspirations uncovered?

They had to start somewhere.
