The bump in horsepower with that engine isn't appreciably bigger than a modded SVX - imho: results < time & money

Supposedly that engine is a bit smaller and lighter than ours... even if it isnt a great bump in power.

It will cost you more to buy that and make it work in an SVX than doing a FI set up

Somebody tell me how much an EZ engine weighs? nobody knows.
Now F/I + EZ36 = some crazy hp figures, I'd venture to say way more potential than the EJ series

k I'm still new with the whole auto mechanics stuff so i'm not super up on all the different things that you guys are talkin bout I looked up that engine swap that guy did on the STI and it looks n sounds sick. The SVX stock is hella heavy and i'd love to lose the weight and especially i like the fact that i could get away with using regular gas instead of payin the price of always usin premium the increase in torque and hp is the biggest thing i was lookin at, i know it's not much but every little bit counts and plus the drop in weight makes that not only more power but less weight therefor increasing the power to weight ratio. now as far as an F/I set up? what is that? also not only was i thinking of doing just the tribeca engine but also changin up the pistons and gettin it set up to turbo it.... so what i was thinkin was doin somethin more along the lines of what the guy did on that STI. So, I mean how much of a price difference is it really? and is the price worth the drop in weight gain in torque n power n the ability to save on gas??? sounds like it might be a good trade off... a one time price to in the long run save a ton on gas... yes no? yall are more experts on this than me... lemme know...

Wow. Ok. That was painful. Please capitalize the first letter of every sentence, rather that just "STI" and "F/I". Which, by the way, F/I stands for "Forced Induction", using either a turbocharger or supercharger. It is the opposite of "N/A", or Naturally Aspirated, which is what the SVX's 3.3 is from the factory.

Yea, I guess being able to use regular instead of premium... you'll make back your money on the swap in the first million or two miles

I agree that it will get his money back in alot of tank fulls of gas at $3 per tank fillup and min cost to change motor $3000 i SEE 1000 TANK fillups that is ALOT of time for the savings to apply if at 1 tank a week 52 weeks a year or 1000/52 is approx 19 years for the savings to make a difference

Yeah, but with more HP you can cover more ground in less time
