Txakura Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 found a wrecked 2001 OBW with low miles on an H6 3L 24v dohc, (that's the interference engine right?) whats the 'swapability' of that compared to the trusty ej22 into the ea82? :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idosubaru Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Somewhere between impossible and retardedly difficult. :lol: that's awesome. it's been done before. in an XT6 it wasn't all that bad, so it's definitely doable in an XT which is an EA82. so it's "possible".

Txakura Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) Somewhere between impossible and retardedly difficult. okay still laughing still laughing that made my ribs hurt see, that's the kind of straight forward no BS answer I like. I have to admit I was being lazy when I posted that... just a what the he// lets slap 'er up there and get a response right on oh man, can I use that at work?

GeneralDisorder Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 The major problem is in relocating the radiator. The engine will be in the way. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey51 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) I saved the pic These engines are obtainable that's the problem. Edited August 2, 2009 by tmonkey51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 That's an ER27 but the issue with the radiator is similar. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Somewhere between impossible and retardedly difficult. wrong as far as I know (been awhile since I heard the number) the EZ30D is about an inch and a half longer than an EJ22. There's probably an inch and a half of room (probably 2-3 inches) between the crank pulley on my EJ22 and my stock EA82 radiator in my loyale. tomorrow, (if I remember), I'll do some measuring. I've got a couple EJ22s, and an '05 EZ30DR shortblock. they're not like the ER27 and EG33, which are just an EA82/EJ22 with 2 more tacked on, and therefore are quite a bit longer. the EZs have the cylinders closer together, and use a timing chain instead of belt to save space. kingbobdole's car. an EZ30 in an XT6. this is how much space there is: with fans: wiring is a hair trickier than your average OBDII setup, but if you can do a late '90s EJ22, you can do an EZ30D. all EGs and EZs are interference.

Numbchux Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 What electric fan setup is that off of. on kingbobdole's XT6? stock XT6 rad and fans. alright....I got restless. 1990 EJ22e, bellhousing to tip of the crank. ~14.75" 2005 EZ30DR, ditto. ~16.75" I have pretty much exactly 2" of clearance between the crank pulley and radiator in my loyale (1992 EJ22e). tried to measure the engine bay, but I was using the XT6 as the light source...so it was kinda hard. XT6 vs loyale looks to be about 3-4" shorter. so yea, I'd move the radiator a bit for clearance. but it's not an interference fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) What electric fan setup is that off of. Looks like a pair of stock EA82 electric fans, one turned on its side. With the EZ30 being so much shorter than the other H6s, you might be able to get away with moving the fans to the front of the radiator for the clearance... Assuming you don't have an AC condenser in the way... -Bill Edited August 2, 2009 by The Beast I Drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you don't have an AC condenser in the way... -Bill I don't think that would be quite enough. I've already done that (fan relocation) in my loyale, and barely have 2" of space to spare. and the difference in engine size is +2". although, something just occurred to me. the EJ22 crank pulley has substantial offset (sticks out a good 3/4" beyond the head of the crank bolt), whereas the EZ30 looks like the bolt sticks out beyond anything else (I don't have an EZ crank pulley....so I'm just basing this off pictures). Take that into account, and you're back to 1.5" or less total difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STI_Wolf Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I was originally planning on doing this when I built my car, but funds forced me to stop with just the 4wd conversion. I'd be more then willing to help you swap it! Would be a good moral boost for me to actually do it to my own car too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Txakura Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Whoa Numbchux, great pics! hmmmmm.... now I have to consider if I want to take on the impossible or am just retarded I'll look at numbers... wasn't someone else running an ez30, gloyale maybe?

idosubaru Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 phil, kingbobdole, has one in his XT6 you might want to check his thread out over on the XT6 forums. Huck also has an EG33 in his XT6. Both of those might give you some mental capital. So this wrecked OBW - are you getting the entire car or is it in a yard? Any chance of getting a part off of it for me for my 02 OBW? Let me know.

Let me know. seems that the only way I can afford an engine, harness and ecu is to just hunt for the whole car I haven't committed to anything yet, but if I do get the car I will put it up for parts here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 with something like this that's the best way to do it anyway. extremely helping to have mounts, hoses, cables, brackets, and little stuff like that to make this work. piecing something together on a deal like this easily ends up being costly anyway as you end up buying a part here or there along the way. yes - definitely contact me on parts.
