Hi Everyone!!
Hello Peoples, My name is Jade.. I'm currently livin in MA. And I can't stand it.. It's only temporary though.. Anywayz, as you can tell I'm new to the site.. So I thought I'd introduce myself..
I'm a certified engine machinist, and I'm wastin my time and skills doin nothing up here in new england.. I do not own an SVX.. I do own a suby though.. I got a gc8, 99 rs coupe.. The RS is basically all stock, I have a custom intake box, suspension, and some other look-good parts.. I have a turbo from a wrx thats goin on, but I'm waiting till I decide what I'm using for management before I put it on... I also have an old skool accord, that has custom ITB's and ALOT of engine work!! Well the reason I join your communty is Knowledge!!.. I'm goin to be buying a good condition svx in the next 6 months hopefully, only so I can rip it to peices  .. My plan.. Built H-6 twin turbo, 5speed 4.11FD drivetrain into a Honda!! lol, yes I know it's sac-relige but, it hasn't been done either!  Imagine an STI owners face when I run him from a launch in an old skool honda and beat him!! It WILL BE GREAT, lol... But anywayz, as I said I"m here to learn, I got quite a bit to do to.. So I got one question to start out with.. Is it true the 3.3 is the same bore and stroke as the 2.2? Thanx for any help... And Hi again to everyone!! Thanx, Jade

O noe's not the honda ^^;. If you can do the twin turbo go for it and welcome to the site. I am sure if you are just looking for an EG33 you can buy one, as I am sure someone has one on here. No need to grab up a whole SVX if you are just after the engine.

Jade,
Welcome! You might want to take some measurements to make sure the EG33 will fit in the Honda's engine bay. Given the "boxer" config, it's a little wider than you might thing. -Bill

Thanx to all.. Actually I have done quite a bit of research for the project..
From what I've read.. -The eg33 is 1.5" longer then my ej25.. Even then, it's still super short, (front to back), in the honda engine compartment. - Remember, honda engines sit "sideways" as they are front wheel drive, which really leaves plent of room for the motor plus piping.. - The honda it is going into is remarkably close to the same dimensions as my gc8 - The reason I compare to the gc8 is because I plan on using drivetrain and suspension components from that car, because the dimensions are so close.. - I know that people have put eg33s into gc8's so as far as fitment, that is not an issue, the actual issue is mounting points and securing everything efficiently and safely... I'd prefer to buy the whole car because I will need the wire harness and other spare parts.. I am not 100% sure as to what I'll be using for management, thats one of the reasons I'm here.. -Are there any regular forum members that have successfully TT'd their eg33? I don't know if I'll go full stand alone.. I'd like to make the vehicle appear as stock as possible as if it came from the factory, so i'd like to use the factory/tuned with piggyback ecu, if possible. I'm also concerned about interfacing the subaru ecu and sensors with the honda dashboard, therefore I want the subaru dash components so can modify them to fit in the honda if needed.. To be honest, I'm only in the planning stages of this project. But it WILL happen. I strive to be different, and this is up there.. Over the next year I will be gathering up everything need for the project.. Vehicles I'm buying for the project -Wrecked 2004 STI - 93-99 Impreza L (chasis and suspension only) - 86-89 Honda Accord DX (Shell only) Also can anyone answer this question for me? Is it true the 3.3 is the same bore and stroke as the 2.2?

There is a member or two with single turbos, but no current TT setups. There are also a few members running superchargers. The reason noone has mad serious effort on the TT front is because there is no room under the hood of the SVX for 2 turbos. There have been a few EG33's popping up in other vehicles with TT's however. Check ECUTune.com for possible ECU tuning needs.
