Tho are good motors makes good power and unlike the turbo it's power right now when u want it.thats one thang I hate about my 07wrx is no power then power for a bit then it drops off up top agien I'd love to have this na instead of my ej255 .I no it was a cold start but she idels high
1tubehead Still on stock 5 speed for now. Lego's. 5 speed flywheel and clutch bolt up to the ez30. ez30 engine mounts bolt into factory engine crossmember. Its just a little closer to the radiator because of the extra cylinders, though some space is saved compared to the eg30/33 due to timing chain design. I have a custom 2" thick radiator with thin fans but its very close to the engine. I am going to swap to push fans on the front side of radiator.
Sorry I dont do harnesses and not sure of someone who does. I wrote my own documentation for my project with all the pins of the stock ez30r harness on the engine, etc. from factory subaru manuals
I'm not using it. I'm using a standalone Link Plus G3 ECU. Though you may be able to get a factory ecu to work tweaking it with Tactrix openport / ecuflash / romraider tuning
buhrietoe x I've been contacting companies for 6 years and nobody including Link have said they can run this engine. Motec is starting to go this way. Can you pass emissions with that setup?
My car has two (2) of those engines connected into a 12 cylinder boxer with the Tribeca Sport Shift Transaxle. I have to use the factory ECU and TCU or I'll have to switch to a manual and then go aftermarket for the engines. I have the front engine TDC on cylinder one and the rear on cylinder six. I want one engine to talk To the ECU and split the return signals to fire those cylinders at the same time. I need an enthusiastic tuner to take this on.
The Link G3 and G4 can run it, but it is offroad only. The factory ecu route can be inspected because it has the emissions logic already and obd2 port interface. Thats a pretty exotic setup for the factory ecu, especially when you take into account the variable valvetrain. I dont believe you will be able to splice signals for that, as it is a check and balance to adjust the cams. Solenoid pulses cams and the cam sensors check and modify pulses as necessary based on their position. That can be different between the two engines.
buhrietoe x This is my first shot at this and all I originally cared about was having the two engines run like a 1965 Chevy 283 rather than up to factory spec's. Air and fuel in and hit it with a spark. In Connecticut I don't have to have the car emission tested, I just have to have the equipment installed. I don't care about VVT or any fuel or emission efficiency. Just make it run and drive.
no, pretty bolt-on, check the channel might car mods, they've done the Gramps build with a 3.6L turbo from an Outback! and JD, no, its a subaru engine which is also h6 like porsches.
Oh man that is awesome!! Hopefully someday I can swap one of these into my Legacy. That sounds amazing as well
Beautiful car and very clean swap. Thumbs up my man!
EZ30D never an R but its looks extra sexy in that RS nice work man!
Build thread? How did you wire the ecu?
That’s awesome!
love that sound.

What's the update on this build?
Subscribed
Isn't the "Link" a really old school ECU?
Did you find all the oil gallery plugs when installing an oil temperature sender?
Please tell me you drove it straight manifold! I bet that was loud!
Sick!
So did this project ever get further? Looks like you almost had it on the road.
not yet. sourcing more bits for it currently.
Dang, long term project! Hope to see more sometime.
im jus curious how much did the engine cost?
bought it years ago for ~1900
buhrietoe x what transmission did you use? And was there any mods you had to fab to make it work?

Nice!
how did you wire it up?
You ever get this thing finished up and buttoned up?

I'm currently doing an STi 6 speed swap for this season.
Do you have the exhaust done? If so, what did you end up using for the header?
Not yet. Busy Moving into a new garage. Plan on all custom. Already have the steel.
buhrietoe x Any idea if the factory headers would fit?
Jazz
Yes I believe they would but are expensive because each one has a cat.
did you or can you use the wrx sti manual transmission, I want to do this swap but I want the 6 speed sti trans
yep, legos.
do you offer wire hrness work? or know who does merge harness? ez30 to 99 imp
Sorry I dont do harnesses and not sure of someone who does. I wrote my own documentation for my project with all the pins of the stock ez30r harness on the engine, etc. from factory subaru manuals
Did the engine just attach to transmission??
Yes. Stock 5-speed transmission and stock engine crossmember. Just use ez30 engine mounts.
Что за диски у вас стоят?
With link plus, do the avls and vvt works?
link plus g3. Yes I have enough inputs/outputs to control avls/avcs and the firmware has support for it.
How did you adjust the factory EZ30R ECU to run in another car?
I'm not using it. I'm using a standalone Link Plus G3 ECU. Though you may be able to get a factory ecu to work tweaking it with Tactrix openport / ecuflash / romraider tuning

No a/c ?
What car is that engine fron?
+XxSWFT_SavagexX legacy(aka liberty) or outback. tribecas use also a H6 but with 3.6L
+thdmtr Alright thanks. is it hard to swap?
no, pretty bolt-on, check the channel might car mods, they've done the Gramps build with a 3.6L turbo from an Outback! and JD, no, its a subaru engine which is also h6 like porsches.
Why does it mention the 3.0RSR isn't that a Porsche reference?
any updates?
+Blake Berry
sadly none, moving and ended up having to rebuild the daily 04sti
Hahha! Have you been happy with the car?
Yep happy so far. It's just been a long slow project because I'm always busy.
What ever happened to this?
CarTrash life. More will come.
buhrietoe x still around or did you get rid of it?
CarTrash still got it
