logic23 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Was wondering if anyone has tried to put the 3.3 turbo engine from a 92 svx into an outback 5 speed? Just putting out the feelers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I didn't think Subaru ever turbo charged the SVX. (did they?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just putting out the feelers It's not a turbo and yes it can be done and has been. All we'll drive in NJ did one. I forget his username on here.

logic23 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 It might not be a turbo... It drove like one. Yeah I can get the car cheap (500) thought it might be a doable thing.. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EG33 is too long to fit that body without substantial metal work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 It will fit just the rad needs to go closer to the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru360 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Are you positive? The EG33 is too long to fit that body without substantial metal work. Yes I'm sure. The radiator support was cut out and the radiator moved forward. There are pics on here I just don't remember where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondasucks Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Is the SVX wrecked? Or does it just have a toasted transmission? SVXes are fun with a manual tranny! As for the Outback, I've seen an Outback SUS (first gen Outback sedan) with an EZ30 in it. (3 liter chain driven flat six out of the H6 outback) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logic23 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 No the svx isnt wrecked just real rough around the edges.. would rather stick with at car that has readily available cheap parts ( legacy/outback). I would rather go with the 3.0 out of the outbacks but haven't seen any in the local yards that I can get engine, wiring harness and computer. Whats the track record on the 3.0? good engine? Never messed wit one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 3.0 is a great engine. Subaru's first timing chain. The chain guides ocassionally have issues. The subaruoutback board has an entire forum for the 3.0 H6 engine version, read through/search there if you want more info on that timing chain deal. The accessory belt idler pulley bearings fail all the time, but they're so cheap and easy to replace it's not even funny. I did both of mine...30 minutes or something, it was so easy i barely remember. Basically they're a maintenance item - every 100,000 miles or something.

nipper Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 It can be done. You have to move the radiator, and I think you may loose the AC. Otherwise it just fits in. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
