I'm a EZ fan, had a little bit of work done on my 06 legacy, traveled NZ over 20 times, I have broken 3, 6 speed boxes racing , im NZ Born a bread ECB north shore . Love my subaru , so does Toyota lol
I am playing with EZ30 swap into a spaceframe build. In South Africe we got Spitronics ECU. I need the data on the Injectors if you can share it please. Looking forward to the headers. Good luck.
Will removing the cover for the injectors damage anything? Any negative issues associated with that? You mentioned it can make the engine a bit louder and considering doing that.
I don't know for sure if it will fit the GT86 gearbox, but the EZ30 engine was available with a manual transmission in Japan, so you can get a clutch and flywheel designed for that engine and it's power and torque levels. It might hold up better than the FA20 clutch you put in. Just something to keep in mind the next time it needs replacing.
we have plenty of manual ez30s here (we are basically japans scrapyard) but they are quite a different clutch design, push vs pull. We'll see how this clutch holds up, but upgrades are easy enough
Awesome swap, mate!! How's the transmission holding up so far? Any particular reason that you didn't go with the EJ/EZ 6spd? With a RWD spool, they should be a lot more beefier than 86/brz's 6 speed, don't you think? The only downside I can think of is the weight and the some modification for the swap itself.
its holding up perfect so far. seeing as i mainly use it on gravel, it doesnt see the same loads as you would on tarmac. Yeah exactly as you say, they are certainly heavier and dont bolt strait in. If i end up having problems, then ill look into it
Hell yeah! Are the engine mounting points all the same? What are your thoughts on the EZ36? Obviously you had the 30 already but the 36's are pretty cheap to obtain also.
yes all the mounting points are the same. the 36s are rather hard to come by in my part of the world. It would be the same amount of work so defiantly worthwhile. The 30s are a little more rev happier and potentially sound better as a result, otherwise i cant think of any downsides. a fully build ez36 with high CR and big cams would be pretty awesome!
@@inflameswetrust2194 There’s more to it than that, the crank is different (weaker) too. Doesn’t make it inferior, just depends on what your goals are. The 36’s oiling system is much better than the 30s.
Honestly considering either this swap or a volvo t5... Whats this weight all together and does ac fit still? Is there enough room without redoing the cooling package completely?
the 6 cylinder is slightly heavier as you would expect, dont know the numbers but its not significant. you may need custom AC lines plenty of room for the cooling package
@@hawes_power5590 thanks I actually found a blown car yesterday and eh well I have a spare built t5 so I made an adapter plate tonight lol. I think the 300tq at 2500rpm fixes what I hate about the car. And the t5 is about 100lbs lighter than the fa and about 80lbs less than the ez30. Having a few fast Volvos and lots of parts I can throw together a nice punchy 350hp motor for damn near free at this point.
I’m curious about if the cornering speed, the steering in general it’s been affected by the swap of the motor. Does it feel heavier or worst at driving or it is considerably faster at every point ?
@@hawes_power5590 thanks for answering man, i hope to get this car one day and if I decide at any moment to make it a swap this is one of the options for me
