Eg33 Rs
The old RS engine was tired and beat. We had an SVX that was tired and beat but the engine was still good. What we Frankensteined is what we are calling the EG33 RS. I wasn't expecting much from the swap but it turns out to be a good thing. It is a blast to drive and is now being used as one of our road course cars. Dynapack Dyno number are 210whp and 212 wtq. We are trying to install an old supercharger that has been resting on the shelf for a while to bump those numbers up.

Damn, that engine is clean enough to eat off of...
Nice choice of powerplant. Love the pontiac-style functional ram air system. Did you convert to a MAP system? Don't see an MAf anywhere in that pic? How does the extra weight from the EG33 affect the overall balance of the car in the twisty stuff? Any 1/4 runs - whether it be with a g-tech or at the dragstrip? Great work! Nice super clean install!!!! |

One more question...
Did you achieve 210 awhp with just the equal-length headers and ram air system alone - or did you do any camshaft work? If you did the cams, what were the specs you went with?

There is no mass air meter because we are using the Autronic Stand Alone.
The extra weight from the motor actually helps keep the front wheels planted and provide more grip coming out of the turn in the twisties. We only went to road course track events with the RS so I don't have any 1/4 times to show. We are using the stock EG33 cams, outside the motor the power mods we have is just the headers and ram air box. |

So, how much will you charge to do this modification to mere mortals like ourselves?
And yes, 1/4 mile times....will you be doing more modifications, etc. I LOVE this type of engine swap. NICE! OMG!!!! Look at the header on this car. |

Hey, I'm wondering if the exhaust note gets real raspy between 3000 and 4000 rpm.
Also, how did you get to 212 whp on essentially a stock motor? I'm sure where were some gains to be had with the headers, ignition, and standalone ECU, but I wouldn't have thought it would be that much. Was there any porting and polishing done? Are you running the factory knock sensors? Is the ECU reading both knock sensors? Lastly, if you are looking for a few more HP, Chike has worked out a nice intake cam profile. A little more lift, a little more duration, and the lobe center is retarded by about 7 deg. A few people are running it, and the butt dyno impression is around 20 HP with peak power moved up to higher rpm. |

You can read up more on the cams here: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...t=29671&page=2 Kevin Thomas will also soon be the owner of my SVX with these cams and he'll be doing some dyno runs and racing it in '06... |

a) It has a 5speed manual trans (in the link XX Tuning provided you can see the underside of the car in a pic showing the equal length headers - clearly a manual trans and definitely a 5spd due to its smaller size). b) The stock SVX exhaust is quite efficient, however, gains can definitely be picked up with well designed equal length headers... c) EM will definitely produce sweet gains especially when the car is dyno-tuned! |

That's one sweet swap. I'm so glad to see that you're taking it to road course events. Which club do you do most of your events with? I also saw pictures at the CART lot in Bristol. What is on there suspension wise?

Next project with the RS is to build a roll cage and we are in the planning stage of installing a supercharger. Quote:

Forgive my ignorance but how is the standalone reading what the car is doing?
Amazing work. ss |

Basically the standalone ecu works off an internal map sensor, trottle position, rpm, and coolant temp.

autronic should have a setup for a subaru crank sensor fwiw there is an autronic on ebay w/4 coils for $700
kinda suprised no o2 sensor .. but i guess its not a street car no need to go into closed loop guess since it a road race car not a drag/auto-x the higher gear ratio is a good idea awesome work would love to see some video |
