Oks so I just thought I would start a thread on here to find out what you have fitted a EG33 into. ( Apart from your SVX

)

I was going to put a EG33 into brumby but ive sold that so i have a spare EG33 to go into another project of some sort.

I remember seeing a UK Brat/Brumby converted to use a 3.3 engine from the SVX. It was for sale on eBay. Good acceleration.
Lately there have been discussions on the Network about an Impreza running a 3.3 flat six.
On top of that there is some guy in Oz or NZ who has put in an EG33 to his '99 Sti Impreza coupe. He is using a turbo and expects maybe 700hp plus. Not too sure if it is finished yet.
It seems to be pretty common in Western Australia to buy SVX front cuts from Japan and install the EG33 in sand rails or dune buggys. They race them there a lot.
I have seen a photo of a very professional fitting of an EG33 in a power boat.
The most common crossover fitment for the flat six is to the VW Vanagon, replacing the flat four engine under the floor. [They may also be known as the Caravelle. Vanagon is the USA name for them]
Another possible donor that has been converted is the Porsche 914/6. It fits easily and makes it really move along smartly.
At least one person has opted to fit a Subaru 3.3 to a Porsche 911.

I expect there are a few more out there. Those are the ones I can think of from the top of my head.

I saw an EG33 in an airplane once. It was a picture online.

I mentioned that above Phil; chromed manifolds, the works. Looked great.

I also forgot one guy used an SVX engine to make a motorbike, or rather a trike, a three wheeler. There are pictures around. It would be an interesting machine, 230 hp in a chassis weighing not much more than the engine and box.

Wouldn't suprise me to see one in a boat or a plane. BMW= "Barvarian Motor Works" inwhich the orginal company was an aircraft co. If it is a well constructed piece of machinery, why not. Carl Benz in vented the Boxer engine.
