H6 Twin Turbo
I was just wondering if a Twin Turbo H6 Porsche Engine would fit into a Subaru Legacy. Anybody know?
Maybe a Porsche Transmission as well.

svx motor is def not the same width and an inch longer, it is a much larger motor and heavier which is why there arent too many swaps out there.
anything is possible in my opinion, you just have to either be very good at fabricating and creative, or have the money to pay someone who is Ben |

The 911 Turbo S, is a H6 3.6L Twin Turbo 444 HP 457 ft-Lbs AWD.
The SVX had a huge H6 3.3L NA 230 HP 228 FT-Lbs AWD. The 3.3L engine was a 2.2L plus half of another making it too long compared to the much shorter 3.0L H6 Subaru now has. |

If Subaru were to bring out a Premium STi Legacy with a 3.6L H6 911 Turbo S Engine it would eliminate all the competition. It would cost lots and it would stick to the Subaru H6 philosophy, with a few tweaks. Plus it would give creadence to the Premium Subaru idea.

Um yeah, I'm rather doubtful on seeing that Porsche engine, tranny and diff in the Subaru. Why does that mean Subaru can't put a bi-turbo H6 engine into the Legacy in the next year or two? For the market a Legacy STi would need to persue, 6-cylinders is a must. I wouldn't mind seeing a high-output NA H6 of maybe 3-3.3L (longer stroke) with slightly higher compression in a Legacy STi pushing 300hp and over 250lb-ft of torque, something 911-Carrera-ish. But an H6 bi-turbo is the best solution.
I'm pretty sure an EG33 from the SVX could be showhorned into a Legacy, but IIRC, it requires some interesting cooling system mods as I think the crank pulley would sit into the cooling fan area. I'm pretty sure people have turboed and I know at least someone fit a supercharger/intercooler on a 1st gen Leggy. It would be the torquest solution available, just find a drivetrain that will stay together. |

Is it possible to come up with a more expensive engine swap than that?

ahh but think of the look on the STi drivers face should a car like mine blow past him on a nice straight road. Or a Legacy Wagon passing a 360 Ferrari. Atleast with the current STi he can see a big wing in front of him/her. But a Legacy wagon, that would be embarrasing.
Although I must admit that the current GT wagon probably does this to every older model Ferrari driver already. |

My wife has become obsessed with the possibility of the Leg. STi coming over. Latest rumor that I saw (and this was some time ago) was that it was a turboed H6 with 350 horse, and they kept blowing trannies. according to the rumor they outsourced the tranny to someone, but I can't remember who.
I do know that if they bring it over I'll be at the dealer getting on the short list for one as a wagon. YOU HEAR THAT SUBARU!!! STI WAGONS IN THE US ARE A GOOD THING!!!! |

There is enough demand to warrant STi Legacy models, in fact, I think they'd possibly sell better than their Impreza brethren, being they won't be so flashy and are more spacious and comfortable, a true road/touring car. Heck, my GT Wagon can play well with a lot of other cars out there and I know it hasn't suprised too many people until it's passed them. If in about 2 years they have a Legacy STi Wagon (w/o leather & power seats) and making 300+hp & torque out of a forced induction H6 and in the current body style, they'd have me inline too!
Otherwise, for now, one of the best bets it to take a new GT Wagon and throw about $5k in mods into it and you've got one heck of a machine. Another 5k and it would really be over the top! But I really hope they do bring a Legacy STi Wagon. I'd be in seventh heaven. |

Why can't someone develop a twin-turbo Outback R H6 3.0? Stocj form it already develops 250 HP, I'm sure 350 - 380HP is easily achievable. Call it an Outback R STi.

Every couple of weeks I think it would be super sweet to built a turbo kit for my wife's, but information on that block has been sorely lacking.
heck, I'd be happy (for now) just doing an exhaust, intake, and reflash with something like an accessport, but nobody is making the bits to do that. Something that would give me +25 AWHP and + 30 on the torque would be sweet. |

Subaru may be waiting for its market to grow and mature. A whole bunch of WRX drivers will be in their 30+'s in 5 or so years (I'm sure there are a bunch now but nothing compared to what there will be). When that time comes I'm sure Subaru will see the need for a twin turbo H6 sedan and man it will be sweet.

I wouldn't mind seeing either a forced induction or N/A engine in the Legacy, but it would have to be making power figures around that of the 2.5L STi and that takes signficant amounts of engineering and money. The EZ30R isn't all that bad considering we know it's state of tune isn't super high, and it uses many of the same features as Porsche's engines like variable valve timing and lift. Subaru 3.0L Displacement (EZ30R Naturally Aspirated) 250hp (83.3hp/L) 219ft-lb (73.0ft-lb/L) 10.7:1 Compression Porsche 2.7L Displacement (Naturally Aspirated) 225hp (83.3hp/L) 192ft-lb (71.1ft-lb/L) 11.0:1 Compression Porsche 3.2L Displacement (Naturally Aspirated) 258hp (80.6hp/L) 229ft-lb (71.6ft-lb/L) 11.0:1 Compression Porsche 3.6L Displacement (Naturally Aspirated) 325hp (90.3hp/L) 275ft-lb (76.4ft-lb/L) 11.3:1 Compression Porsche 3.6L Displacement (Turbocharged & Intercooled) -Turbo S 444hp (123.3hp/L) 457ft-lb (126.9ft-lb/L) 9.4:1 Compression Subaru 2.5L Displacement (EJ257 WRX STi - Turbcharged & Intercooled) 300hp (120hp/L) 300ft-lb (120ft-lb/L) 8.2:1 Compression What does this show? Subaru engineering really isn't all that far off Porsche engineering and levels of tuning per liter (and in some configurations such as the 2.7 and 3.2L Boxster engines, beating them), both being the boxer configuration for comparison sake. But there is one significant difference. Cost. Subaru comes at a fraction of the cost. Give it another year or two and I think we'll be seeing a forced induction 3.0L H6 in an STi Legacy model (the target market requires those 6-cylinders if anything else), and I'd think it will probably make around 110-120hp/L with the same amount of torque. The biggest question will be how the drivetrain would be set up with that much power. |

too bad you cant just swap 6 of the wrx pistons and maybe rods into the H6 3.0 and then go from there !

Yeah, wrong bore size (EJ20 is 92mm with the EZ30 being 89.2mm IIRC) and I'm sure other things would be needed special too like a lower CR as 10.7:1 would definitely lead to something catastrophic. But Subaru has the abilities to produce just as good of results as Porsche lest some people think so. It's all about the size of the engine they're working with.

If you want to try a Porshe swap, you need a Boxster powertrain, otherwise the engine will be where your feet want to be - or you will have the fastest Wagon in reverse in the world!

Honestly, I'd rather want a 3 liter H4 instead of a 3 liter H6. Then again, that would be a simply massive engine.
A 6 cylinder 2.5l engine should have about the same horsepower output of a 4 cylinder 2.5l engine, but the 4 cylinder should have more torque. This is assuming that the stroke is simlar. Then again, you would come upon some other problems, such as having a massive amount of mass due to a huge bore. As for transmission, if you really want performance, best to go with RWD over AWD. If you are planning on racing in snow or low grip situations, AWD woudl be the way to go. |

Ok these last two comments are wierd. A 911 Turbo S engine could be installed in the front of a Subaru if you just flip the gearing.
(where your feet want to be???) The Porsche 911 Turbo S is a performance car and it is Fulltime AWD. Albeit with a mainly RWD power split. Variable from 90r/10f to 60r/40f. 0-60 in 4.2 Seconds and tops out at 190MPH. I would rather see a lower top end and a faster accelleration time, but then mileage would suffer. Not that it would matter at the price you pay for such cars. |

Well, you can always have gears 1-5 as close ratio gears and have gear 6 as an overdrive gear. (This is assuming a 6 speed tranny, of course).

Ever wonder why Crawford's 2.8 liter engine uses 880 CC injectors? Because there's a HUGE surface area, and the area where combustion happens is massive. There's a lot of air and fuel in there. More than in a 2.5l engine, obviously. |

imprezkid is right,
if you have the money to do something like that thenit might be better to just buy a 996 turbo. porsches are rear engined vehicles, so the transmissions are situated 180 degrees different from front engine vehicles. If you could actually successfully use a 996 turbo engine and drive train in your car you would have 6 reverse gears and 1 forward gear. however, if you were to have an adapter and custom flywheel made you could mount the porsche motor in the front of your car mated to your stock powertrain. by the time you're done though, there would be a lot of nice cars you could buy with the money you spent. If someone did this successfully though, it would almost be guaranteed a feature in a magazine. |
