TS-R EZ30 Conversion

[Flat4]

I’m looking into putting an EZ30 in my BG Legacy in the next few months. My budget will almost rule out an EZ30R conversion so my idea is to use an EZ30D instead as it would be a simpler swap. I have a few questions:

1. How difficult would it be to use the factory EZ30D ECU? i.e what would be involved in wiring it in?

2. What options are there for wire in ECU’s? Since the EZ30D is simpler than the EZ30R (no AVCS etc), would a G4 storm run it without any problems? Are there any cheaper alternatives?

3. How much does it typically cost to get an aftermarket ecu installed and tuned?

4. Which ever way I go it will have to be done by someone who knows what they're doing, so keeping this in mind which is the best/cheapest way to go – factory ecu or a wire in?

Any info would be great

Cheers.

Come round sometime and I'll show you how much it's costing me to do the conversation but I'm going to say still alot of moneys

If you have then engine already then

G4 storm maybe 1800

wiring it in ???? ( 600? )

tuning 500

labour 1000?

Ez30 raditor 200 - 350

headers 250

hoses, welding shit that you didn't see coming - 500

basically it's not cheap or easy since these conversations are done everyday and there is most likely hundreds of things that I'm forgetting, if you are thinking of getting it done and have all the money in the world then it's fine therewill e no issue but if you are on a tight budget and time is a factor as in you need the car off the road for the small amount of time then I would put the funds into a bh5 and have some turbo goodness

But then this is all from my experience

Cheers for the reply. I know it's not cheap, especially when you factor in upgrading the brakes and gearbox and getting it certified. I have my reasons for wanting to do this rather than upgrading to a BH or another car.

If it's much cheaper to wire in the factory EZ30D ecu than it is to buy and install a Link then I will go down that route. The problem is that not many people have documented a conversion like this so there isn't much info out there.

yeah because if they are doing the ez conversion is usually the R and not the D and if u want to know the meaning of a bitch then use the factory ECU, everyone that i have spoken to has said dont do it, and just wanting to know do u have any of this already?

[Flat4]

Yeah pretty much what I figured haha. No, don't have any of it, need more info about the conversion first before I start spending money on it

[DacerX]

i wouldnt do it unless ur completely commetted to it and why do u want to do the D and not the R?

Talk to Subout he had a EZ30D for his BH and had loom and ecu etc from memory but never finished..He got quite far i think though
