I was just given a SVX 3.3 motor, complete with harness and FI. Has anyone used this version in their 914? Since it's free, it's a good one but, is it a good match up for the car?
If I use it for one of the 914's, I will rebuild it completely first, I'm not sure what I would need for the conversion. I know there's more than one thread here on Subaru engines, just trying to wrap my head around what will be required and what the level of effort is. My thought would be to buy a good roller, install flares if they are not already there and then drop it into that. I guess the first question is, has anyone here used this motor before? |

I've got an EG33 too, and have flipped the intake. Bit of extra work to do it that way, but I didn't want to hack into things if it wasn't truly necessary.
I have acquired just about everything for the swap over the past few years, but I also acquired two children during that time and a job that has me overseas a ton, but I plan on starting the swap this winter. I'll echo everyone else's sentiment - the EG33 is a really strong engine and yours may not need a rebuild. However, getting parts for them, including seal kits is getting more difficult. I highly recommend Jeff Robenolt to do your harness work for you. I started doing it myself, but it turns out that $600 or so was some of the best money I've spent. Jeff is a genius and a really nice guy to boot. https://autoventuresllc.net/ |
