Re: e &m rigoli eg33 performance engine rebuild

For $13000 I could get an SVX pushing 500hp with a built powertrain. That's ridiculous.

Re: e &m rigoli eg33 performance engine rebuild

Is that including engine management? Is that including the fuel system (injectors, etc)?

Re: e &m rigoli eg33 performance engine rebuild

hahahh id love to do that if i could ever save the cash lol i still got a 10 g loan to pay off from my first car that i totaled and buyin my pearlie then hopefully i can save another prob 20 g to get 1000 hp lol and i think i may need a stronger drive train for that too . but in all seriousness i think i would be dangerous enuf with the 350 hp and six speed let alone another 650 hp on top hahha i think they are only legally allowed to make up to 500 hp on a road legal car

Re: e &m rigoli eg33 performance engine rebuild

im not sure about engine management or fuel system
i wouldn't have the faintest idea whether it would be sleeved or not
i didnt get a full list of what they quoted to do maybe they were hoping i was a rich boy with no sense and would just fork it out
i will ask them for a fully detailed list of what they would do with the engine , eng man sys ,and fuel sys , and drivetrain etc and post it

Re: e &m rigoli eg33 performance engine rebuild

Also, you should factor in the possibility that they have no clue what they are talking about when it comes to an EG33.

What they said when they read the e-mail:

"Dude, what's an EG33?"

"I dunno. He said Subaru right? How much is a really good STi motor?"

Exactly. IMO, Rigoli knows more about boosted/high rpm EG33's than anybody else. IIRC, they are spinning the EG33 over 10,500 rpms, making over 1300 hp.

Frank Aragona Jr. is the guy who knows more about N/A EG33 applications (7.80 1/4 mile in a rail w/EG33, all motor).

Both these guys know their stuff!

I was surprised that their name hasn't been brought up more. I have heard and seen clips of their exploits. I believe the reason most in the states havent heard of him is because he is in Australia.

As Shelfy would say, "that'll happen".

Can you please post where you could get this done? I purchased my SVX for around 7k but if I could have simply went this route, the possibility would not have been remote.

Does this mean that I can do this for 6k now that I have an SVX itself? Who's the source?
