/quote]

Don't know of anyone doing a legacy, but maclennan performance are building a turboed EG33 WRX..

Ive seen pic of grand wagon with eg33 in it. thats 1 of the 1s from oz. same guy did a eg33 brumby, 2.7L brumby and im not sure but mite had been building a EZ30 forster for a custorer?

Bilsteins arrived late last night.

I'll give em a scrub up and change top hats and they'll be bolted in soon as.

I knew that were better but did not exspect the shafts to be that big... Nice

[ReubenH]

Miiiint. Looking good man.

Any idea on what you're going to do about the radiator?

[Guest]

Batmobile radiator and fans are on their way and should fit in hole between lights. Move ac radiator forward and maybe replace with a smaller one. Bonnet latch will have to be removed from the looks of things so bonnet pins/latches will be on order.

we shoulda got an aircooled porsche motor

that woulda sorted it

we have a few radiator options

but maclennas using a rx7 bat rad so we found one on trade me

maybe run an external oil cooler

hate to be a bubble-burster - but i beat u to it

92 vz wagon, eg33 with megasquirt, rover v6 wastedspark coilpacks, s5 rx7 alloy race radiator, mazda familia aircon pusher fans, along w tein coilovers and a few other nice bits at the same time.

No bubbles bursted here chap. I'm only doing this because Darren blew up my ej20. This is my spare boat engine... ....

Would be good to compare notes though. This should be running in a month. I'll be using factory ecu and keeping ac.

Was it you who i sold my headers too?

[DRFVDR]

Idid not blow it up I was just driving it when it develped a wee noise:)

[pl0x]

how many kw & NM you thinking it will be putting out?

[nzkaosnz]

i managed to get motor in with gearbox in place - that was aircon radiator removed, and no crank pully/alternator etc.

headers, yea, possibly.

230 bhp @ 5600rpm (179kw)

224lb-ft @ 4400rpm (303nm)

Factory specs

[ReubenH]

On the turbo subject, do yah know how possible it is?

[Guest]

Depends on how much you want to spend....

Yes it is possible.

The biggest problem is the water flow in the block is not very good. Not to sure why but the engine will over heat when pushed. This is not related to the size of the radiator.

The cylinders vibrate a bit when you start to push them and is hard on gaskets.

Will need new cam profiles.

There is a company in the states that makes low compression pistons because ej22 stuff lowers th cr too much.

Those are the biggest problems to overcome that i know of.

[Optical]

get some cams from these guys and push 350hp!!

Thats one thing the SVX guys still havnt been able to work out. Loads of research is being put into it by a few guys.

Electric water pumps have been tried but havnt worked so far for improved cooling.

[Guest boostcut]

could you modify the placement of inlet and outlet on the block and run two inlet with two water pumps.... i know its a long shot but if your going to the v8s in hamilton i could show you my bosses quad rotor batty and that would give you the idea.... it runs nearly 700 hp from a na pp quad and never overheats.

[Guest]

I wont be chasing high hp in this car. I only want it to work. the only thing i may do different from factory is exhaust..

When it is time to do my boat then it will be a different story.

[Guest]

update, sort of.

All the wires to be removed sitting on the engine. About the same thickness of my thumb. When these are pulled out it will make enough room in the boot for the engine loom which is only slightly more then the half loom being removed.

looks way cleaner with the boost control and waic relays gone.

ITS ALLLLLIIIIIIIIIVVVVEEEEEEE

[Old Skool Subbie]

Dam yas did that quickly. it sounds good with No exhaust

[DRFVDR]

Well I just had a look at this today (will take pics tomorrow) so far the front end has been moddied to move the radiator forward(cut the top radiator support out which we will bolt back in later)....

Have a radiator that has been modded....

have fitted front bilsteins

will have to mod rear mounts to fit rear bilsteins

so when it all finished we will have a

1990 GTB 33
