Re: H6 EZ30 into STi

I wonder how an SVX would do with an EZ36? (3.6L H-6 out of the new Tribeca) they are ~260hp if I remember correctly.

Re: H6 EZ30 into STi

And they are about 10-15lbs lighter too.... If ever were to buy a second svx and wanted to do anything to it I would consider this swap, depending on how expensive the motor and wiring harness could be had for...

The 3.6L is not a new idea for me. I would love to!

The EZ36 is just a stroked EZ30, so it should fit just peachy. The EG33 is dimensionally the biggest engine Subaru's ever put in a car, so anything should fit the SVX.

mmmmm...EZ36TT.....Where's that GT-R at?

26 peak hp. If peak power was all that mattered, we'd all be packing huge turbos that took a week to spool up.

It's all about area under the curve, and I'll betcha that the EZ36 has got plenty more under 5000 RPM. Its torque peak is at 4400; that's a good start.

Re: H6 EZ30 into STi

Doing that swap for -10~15lbs and +26hp peak is not worth it in my opinion.

In that case, you can go the more reliable and cheaper route of CF hood and trunk battery.

...don't forget the EZ36 runs on Regular Fuel, not Premium......and no timing belt...
If someone gave me one, I'd start on it tonight....(but would probably stick it in FrankenWedge )

but would you PAY for one and go through all the trouble?

i don't think they are free - that's why i basically think its not worth it. if it had 300+hp, then, yeah, but 26hp is only going to be slightly noticeable on the ol' butt-dyno.

Re: H6 EZ30 into STi

dont they have variable valve timing as well? This motor in a SVX would make a noticeable difference IMHO...

Re: H6 EZ30 into STi

You have to take into considoration the extra displacement, the VVT, the weight, and the obdII restrictions put on the car from factory. I bet that the motor as is with a different map and the basic bolt ons would produce something in the mid 300whp range. It's like a VQ35 for our cars essentially. The only issue is, again, the price.
