cluesblues Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 So after some perusing of the local classifieds I found a JDM EZ30D 3.0R Spec.B engine and 6-speed gearbox for sale. How much of a nightmare would it be to swap into say a 2005 2.5i? I totally don't have the cash to do it at the moment but I'm genuinely curious. The ad: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-engines-and-engine-parts/calgary/jdm-subaru-ez30d-3-0r-h6-avcs-engine-6-speed-tranny-03-09/1026122945?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true Seems like it comes with complete wiring and ECU as well.

orndog Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Why is a company called jdmtuners selling this instead of installing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacerX69 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 This is a swap I have wondered about for as long as I have had my Legacy. The chain driven cams are a plus, compared to the belt on other engines. Having another half liter of displacement would be cool. Details I wonder about are engine and transmission mounts, radiator capacity, harness connector compatibility and various hose connections.

GEE-OTTO Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Grab the ECU, cross member, fuel pump, harness and cluster. It could be as straightforward as grafting the bits onto you current platform. But I must admit that is a hell of a deal on that engine and gearbox combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 More of a nightmare than you are ready for. It is not so much stuffing it into the car, but getting the electronics to work. Not worth it unless you have 20K laying around to spend on the right people that 'may' get it to work! --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Another thing to consider is the EZ30D is much cheaper than $4k at you local salvage. There area handful of documented H6 swaps on http://www.rs25.com all have their unique issues all of which are electronic in nature mostly bc they swapped a EG33 into a OBII car. Still as a "dream car" idea I think a H6 MT BL would be mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind that $4k CAD is $2875 USD at the current exchange rate. With a 6-speed, complete wiring, and ECU included I'd say that's pretty good. The JDM engines tend to have pretty low kms too.
