well you guys i made this thread for those of you who might be having trouble rebuilding the eg33. If you have any questions you may ask here.
Also if any one know of any after market pistons or connecting rods for the eg33 let me know. Also a price for a complete rebuild kit
Thanks

EJ22T pistons work and you should reference the other thread (turbo forum) for the aftermarket parts (rods/pistons)

As far as rebuild goes, what have you found out as far as are there any aftermarket bearings or gasket sets for the eg33?

Phill, tell us a bit about yourself. It's great that you're offering your assistance with the EG33. We have a few experts here and it would be interesting to get a few technical discussions going on here.

OK earthworm
I started working on subarus when i was 14 my brother had a impreza 2.5 and my parents had a 1992 svx i fell in love with subarus after that when i turned 16 i drove the svx once in a wile then when i was 18 they gave it to me i was so happy and now i just turned 20 on october 26th and when i was in high school i too 4 years of auto mechanics and now i am going to iup punxy pa for culinary arts.I grew up in seiesta key / sarasota florida and moved here 5 years ago to PA also 4 of my other friends have svxs. I have completly rebuilt 3 eg33s for there cars with there money thust knowing i know how to take a flatt engin apart.

Also i gave the exaust manifolds to another friend since he can weld and he will be making me headers for the car and will be making a complete engin rebuild guide for this site with photos on how to so theres a lil about em and how i got into the SVX now its parked again for the winter and i am driving a 2004 jeep rubicon

Check my personal locker at the very bottem ot the lockers for my photos

The best parts you can get for the eg33 internaly are actual subaru parts from the factory like bearings and pistons thats what subaru uses on its WRC cars and i buy all my parts here they even have exploded views its pricy but there all worth iit all directly from subaru

Thanks for the piston tip and are they better than the eg33 pistons will the ej22 pistons giver better power?

Thanks

Suggest changing your handle so others - like me - don't confuse you with DemonSVX (without the ~~s). Sorry!

are you just being rude or is that just sarcasm?

Sorry, definite case of mistaken identity

Question - have you actually put your engine and/or car on a dyno to back up your additional hp statements?

FYI - s...a...r...c....a....s....m

"exploded views", not "explosion views"

while, not wile

machinist, not machinest

ummm... take a look at the locker for "~~demonsvx~~" (because of the squiggly things, alphabetically his locker is last in the list of lockers)

Thanks, Dave. Edits to previous posts made.

I still don't know how u managed to bend the cam??? They are very brittle and hollow... I dropped one on a concrete floor and broke it... Anyway... it is good to have another builder around... Check the mod mania forum...Chike, myself and a couple others have begun to use custom cams in the cars... they are producing impressive gains but I would like to go a little more radical for the next set...

Thanks Tom
If you wouldnt mind what cams are you using that gave impresive results?

o and for my mispelled words its ok i was int he break room at my job and only had 15 min

i put it on FWD dyno and had to put the FWD fuse in but im not sure is that will be 100% because the rest of the time its awd but i will get the slip and post it on and the next motor i rebuild i will take pics step by step

SVXelerator its ok i understand i dont get mad easy so its all good ur lucky you drive a svx

thanks
Phill

TomsSVX · #13 12-01-2005, 11:23 PM

check the thread... he has listed all of the specs... I am more of a wrenches kind of guy so the guy oab (harvey) is a wealth of knowledge in many fields helped us devise the specs for them... I am still trying to figure out how far I want to go with my next set... Just let me know if you are interested come spring time I should have them available made to order...
