There is no way a EZ30 or EZ36 crank will fit in a eg33, as the EZ motor is a lot shorter front to back.....

Stock stroke, but custom 100 mm pistons. New displacement is 3534 cc's.

Re: Our EG33 GC8 Swapped RS..

I'm curious about that intake setup, would be awesome to make that work on an SVX. I'd also be down with that DIS setup you are using, might not be enough room for it in an SVX (I wonder if they make aftermarket coil-on-plug coils that would fit...)

Also, needless to say, I know that car has got to be insanely fast! Those are quick enough with the 165 HP NA 4 banger in them... Please tell me that has a manual transmission behind it!

Re: Our EG33 GC8 Swapped RS..

OK, so no good on the stroker idea. Did you have to re-sleeve the block to bore it out that much?

Re: Our EG33 GC8 Swapped RS..

Very nice job, first I've heard of this one. Any specifics on the cam profiles you're running? Also, any info on the ignition system? Looks quite nice.

Uses the Autronic CDI box and individual MSD coils.

Re: Our EG33 GC8 Swapped RS..

So wait a second here. Does that mean that EFI is tuning Autronic?

that would be awesome!

Re: Our EG33 GC8 Swapped RS..

We are not too far apart either. Still on the hinge as far as which system im going to get but being they can do the Autronics i assume they can also do Motec and Pectel?

thx.

I think Chris has worked on Motec, probably not Pectel. It's not as common in North America FWIW. I rate the Pectel along the lines of DTA Fast, Emerald, Luminition and Hestec, fairly common in Europe but not over here.

My understanding is that the machinist did not sleeve the block. He cut up Jack's old damaged block and deemed the OEM cast-in sleeves thick enough for naturally aspirated use.
