EJ swap into an SVX

[s'ko]

Ok. Has this been done?

I got an SVX w/a dead engine. I was trying to figure out whether I should get another EG33 and put it in there or get an EJ20 WRX turbo motor.

I realize that the EJ will require harness merging and electrical work to make run, but that’s no biggie since I have swapped an EJ into a BRAT and a RX.

Will the motor mounting slots in the SVX crossmember allow for the EJ to just slide in there or will this have to be modified?

The goal would also be to do a 5 spd swap at the same time.

Just imagine the space I would have in the engine bay to put a massive FMIC or whatever I wanted.
Imagine…. a gignormous NOs bottle or sequential triple turbos or a reservoir for an air-water intercooler.

Anyways what issues in terms of mechanical fitment are we looking at do make this work?
