Having said that. IMHO the EZ series are not the most robust of engines, main bearings are narrow cylinders are thin.
If you want max hp I would be looking at the EG33, these are heavier and possibly more work to fit (to be everyday reliable). I chose the EZ as I wanted the same or better throttle response as my 380hp specC but (with a real not make believe) 550+bhp with torque to match.
I'm rather torn as to what I want to build... I have an EZ30D sitting in the garage and EG33s are all over for 1k or less... I may just go with an EG for the simple displacement... IDK....

The EG has a following over here some pretty impressive numbers are being generated. I guess it depends on what you want it for, the EZ is a lot lighter and has less effect on weight bias, but add the Holset and the weight starts to rise again, and the added weight is high up as well. I really wanted to use a variable geometry turbo, so at the time I was making my mind up, the Holset seemed to be a good route to go. I am now thinking (for the future) about twin GT3063KLV's, been scratching my head trying to work out how to keep them in sync.

Why worry about keeping them in sync? Keep the pid controllers motoring backpressure, outlet PSI, EGTs and shaft speed. Just have them both pump out the same pressure. So long as they are targeting their pressure it shouldnt be an issue. Remember you will have some differences in flow between the two heads as nothing is perfect. Or you could just average the two in your controller and send a single command to both turbos. Either way would work fine. I don't get a lot of the finer points, but I'e gotten away from overthinking all of this stuff.

Imho any differences in flow between one head/port and another will (should) be compensated for in mapping and will remain a “constant”. The issue is that the change in turbo geometry is by definition not a constant, whilst the maf will compensate for changes in airflow, it cannot compensate for changes in VE between the two halves of the engine (at least not the ecu I am using). At present, at start up and shut down, I check that the vane mech position is being reported correctly by cycling through full closed and full open, and referencing to previously stored data. Currently I am thinking that it would be possible to measure the vane movement with a dial gauge (easy on a Holset, not so easy on a Garret) and then ensuring through the software (firmware), that, for a given input, each set of vanes move to the same position throughout their range. I don’t see how it is possible to measure individual turbo pressure, however measuring individual egbp (as you pointed out they will not be identical) and comparing the two could be used as an alarm.

Ah, see if I end up keeping the twin holset idea, I'll run two maf.

Right now I'm considering selling off the holset and snagging some oilless turbos because of the low mounting points I want to use.

So, decided I'm going to sell it. It may have a ridiculous amount invested, but I'm ready to move toward something else. Fixed geometry turbos it is for my build. Have some nasty nasty plans for the heads and a holset HE351ve is just going to over complicate the build.

Just picked up a '92 SVX to swap into my '99 Impreza L. Any advice people can give me about the swap/who to talk to would be appreciated. Have been doing research for a while and want to get everything prepared before I actually go on to swap considering this is my DD.

Thanks!

Pete

took the svx swapped coupe I bought a while back for a spin a couple days ago. the power is awesome. however it dies on me when approaching a stop sign, what should I look at to fix this? anything simple?

ecutune chip, your load at idle is much less than what the ecu expects

you're saying install one? I have a manual just fyi. so pushing the clutch in stalls it after driving

You need the Ecutune chip for the ECU. This will also give you quite a different engine.

If its had a swap done to it I would say to check the cable's to the throttle are set right to keep the engine running, after its been warmed up. Under the black plastic thing on top of the engine you'll find two cable's (off center, passenger side of the engine you'll see them ), turning then to tighten them 1/4th turn at a time by moving the bolts the cable go through the bolt so more of the bolt move closer to the firewall. Then check the tech to see what the engine speed is, you'll want it about 750 to 900 RMP. Then thighten the two locking nut on each cable and then take it for a spin.
That should help and it don't cost aything.

Good luck

If I understand what you are saying, you want him to adjust his throttle cable tension so that the engine never goes to its actual idle?

I'm going to guess that he is using a manual instead of an auto, because this happens in the SVX as well when you go manual.

I don't agree with what you are suggesting, but he can do whatever he wants.

I would suggest going with the ECUTune because it works much better with the manual transmissions than the stock computer does, has a more aggressive timing map, revised fuel tables, and an option to hook up a switch if you wish to run regular gas(or E85).

This has nothing to do with his issue though, and will only piss off the eg ecu, and require a tps recal.

The inherent issue has been documented for years, and is a result as I said of the lack of load from a behemoth auto trans and tc.

Ok so install ecutune stage 1 and you think this will take care of the issue? I already have the chip but I wasn't going to put it in if it wasn't necessary

Yes. I run my SVX with a 6 speed on the ECUTune ecu and have no stalling issues. If you already have the chip it can't hurt to try it out. What version of stage 1 do you have anyways?
