So no EG33 for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Just going to use the STI motor. Also going with MS3-pro. This should be interesting ? Randy |

Getting ready for my winter project. (914) Been a little off track with old project's.
Just finishing up a Rally Forester that I used the Sti motor in. Now I will need to look for another motor ? Did a Rally-X in Tucson and had a blast. Using this motor in a 914 will be so very "COOL" ! Still needs paint but that will come. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i916.photobucket.com-8123-1445975745.1.jpg) I will try to stay on point with the 914. Randy |

Now for a motor question. What about the EZ30. Because I need a motor was thinking how much I like the sound of the 6.
Good idea,bad idea? I will stay with Subaru so this is another option. Want the water cooled motor because I live in AZ. Thanks for the input ! Randy |

If your asking me I say EZ30 all the way. Sweet engine. I too wanted an EG33 until Bob (BIGKAT83) and Ian (coldwater,com) both steered me towards a EZ. Never regretted that decision. And yes, the sound is sweet, too!

I thought EG33's had the most pwr,..and that the EZ30's were way less pwr,..??? FM The EG's do have more power and aftermarket parts. They are also longer and heavier. IIRC the EG is 230hp and the EZ is 212hp. The EZ series has a longer engine life, some say. I've no problems using the factory ECU w/ the EZ30D and the car runs quite well. My buddy Chris has been wrestling with his EG33 using a factory ECU. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) He thinks it could possibly be some engine monitoring devices are hay wire which he will confirm over this winter. So if your on the "EG33 w/ factory ECU bandwagon", stay tuned. Or, forget the factory ECU go MegaSquirt. I think the only thing you would lose is the cold start feature. |

Go 3.6R (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Most HP from a stock sub -6
I am running a EG33, and yes they can make way more power over 1000 HP. That being said, the EZs make it easier to package in the engine compartment. I have several EG33s now so I will be sticking with them for a while. Are you driving or navigating? I have done a few rallies and getting a good navigator is key, who can understand timing, and not get sick. My wife is defiantly not a navigator. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) |

Megasquirt has the cold start feature. I think my problem is the IAC valve is dirty but I'll check everything when I flip the intake around. Either that or the purge control valve solenoid which is clicking occasionally (and I don't even have the canister hooked up). I also just found out the stock air intake is pretty critical, so I'll switch back to that. The difference between the EZ and the EG is only 20 hp. I've driven both in a 914 and I doubt you could tell which was which if you didn't know. One is definitely NOT way faster than the other in stock form. There is a lot of aftermarket stuff for the EG33, and it is a pretty cool looking engine. It's also very strong and overbuilt internally. That's pretty much it. The EZ is smaller, lighter, newer. And it has a timing chain, not a belt. |

Ahh,..yea, if that's all,. then most likely a EZ is a better setup,..I must be looking in the wrong place for EG33 stuff,..I don't find much but headers and better fuel injectors,..how much is a mega squirt system,..out front quoted me 1800.00 for there stinger box and harness,..Iam so ready to go with a EG33 or the EZ,..but a EZ cost is most likely way higher ???,..can both engines be Camed for performance,..

I'm a driver or at least I think I am ? LOL Been doing the Rally-X thing to start. Then we will see. Over built the car because that is what I do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
This info is great, keep it coming. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Most of the motors (EZ) don't seem to have harness's and ECU's so I was thinking Mega S ? Also do the JDM EZ have more power like some of the other JDM stuff ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |

I think I remember reading that there is a performance chip for the EG33. As far as performance add-ons: John at OutFront would know if anyone. Also, his Stinger package ain't such a bad thing if you factor in your time.

Felt just like a stock Subaru (no jittering or weird quirks). If you search on the message boards over there you can find his comments. Just search for EZ30. If you have experience with it you can do the DIYPNP and save some cash. The only thing I know about JDM engines is related to the EG33. It's not the engine, it's mostly the ECU. They are much simpler. More of a static map, no altitude correction, etc. There are also fewer controls. No EGR system, fewer solenoids and sensors to break, etc. Sometimes the rev limiter is higher. You can do whatever map you want with megasquirt and you will eliminate the extras I mentioned. |

Andyrew that was what I was thinking! And the glass may not work well with the people on the city streets? Maybe this is the way to go?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i916.photobucket.com-8123-1352434279.1.jpg) A very way off but does anyone know what color number this car was ? |

Back on a build. But having trouble with what way to go ? Build the want-to be 914 GT or restart the kit car what-to-be a 908-3 ?
Today I got the center diff out and the adapter on and end plate. This tran's could go on ether car. But I also have a 914 trans with a adapter, starter,flywheel for a Subaru. I have a non-Sti ,turbo motor on it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-8123-1541028422.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-8123-1541028423.2.jpg) Maybe save the Subaru trans for the tube car ??? Anybody know the answer to the color question ? |

Got some parts in. Very nice !
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-8123-1541879110.1.jpg) But still trying to decide what way to go ? Use the 2.0 turbo with the 901 or sell that setup and go with a EZ30 and the MT5 ? Ideas ? |

MT5 = Manual Transmission 5 speed, think that is what Subaru calls it.

There really should not be a question at this time. MT5 MT5 MT5 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

That trans is not 05 WRX. The giveaway is it's a push clutch and that starts in 06'.
There are no factory LSD in the US 5 speeds, did someone install one? |
