One technical tidbit to add for those that might want to use an SVX 6 and then add some boost. The early SVX engines share the same bore as the 91-94 EJ22T, which is the turbo motor that was found in the fairly limited production USDM Legacy Turbos. The beauty of this is if you want to boost an SVX motor, you can swap in the slugs from the EJ22T and drop your compression down into the 8's. Brand new takeout Ej22T pistons are readily available from Crawford Performance and Axis Power Racing because they are doing monster builds using the Ej22t bottom end with new forged slugs. They sell of the takes outs for something ridiculous like $100 for a set of 4. And one other thing to add for those more interested in a four cylinder. The EJ20G from the 89-94 JDM Legacy Turbos is readily available from importers for around $650 for the motor. They will include an ECU and wiring for a few hundred dollars more. That engine is a closed deck 2.0l engine with under piston oil squirter that was very de-tuned from the factory. They made 200ps on the auto and 220ps on the manual. If you can find a manual, it already carries the Vf-8 turbo, that can deliver 300+hp if you turn up the boost. It also comes with an AWIC. I have a couple of these engines and they are bulletproof motors. And if anyone reading this need wiring diagrams and pinouts, just let me know...

All excellent points! Just to clarify, the EJ22t pistons will work in all EG33 SVX engines, not just the early ones. There were no mechanical changes to the EG33 over its 5 year run.
