Not trying to be a dick, but please (pretty please) answer just my specific question because I am old, I don't understand all these numbers, and I want to start shopping.
What is the biggest, most horsepower, turbo, gas, Subaru engine that easily ( no drive by wire or anti theft stuff) can be swapped into the car? |

Don't want to hijack but... If one was to complete a build using one engine and then decide to switch to another engine down the road for more power.
Is there a resource for which engines fit which transmissions and would the engine/trans mount locations need to be changed if going from an EJ to EZ or EX? Or early to late? |

Is there a resource for which engines fit which transmissions and would the engine/trans mount locations need to be changed if going from an EJ to EZ or EX? Or early to late? If you're talking about a Subaru transmission, pretty much any 5MT will bolt up to an EJ, EZ, etc. The clutch kit and flywheel are matched to the trans, so you would just move that to whatever engine you swapped to. Engine mount locations are universal too. The only engine that is a tight fit with the universal cradle mounts that are available is the EG33. It fits but nearly touches the front firewall. You could us a spacer to push it back a bit if you wanted. The rest are fine from 2.0 to 3.0L (not sure anyone has completed a 3.6 yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) . |
