EZ30R Swap
In an effort to not go boost (I like NA) and thinking to get a decent amount of torque and power that winding out the stock FA20 will be costly I have been toying with the idea of doing a 3l swap, namely the EZ30R engine. I've had a look and I could get hold of an engine for less money than a Innovate S/C conversion and with OEM reliability then this is a bonus. I was wondering what people's views are and trying to find any holes and pitfalls of trying a conversion like this. I have a few questions....
Does anyone know if the stock mounts can be used? I'm guessing custom mounts will be needed to create the extra space required. I know that there would need to be custom work done for exhaust and intake provisioning. I can see the main issue being the electronics. Would you be able to integrate the EZ30 ECU into the car and allow the rest of the system to work or would this have to be another custom job? I've been trying to find out whether the stock 86 ECU could be remapped to work for a H6 lump and some say it can be done, some say it can't. Maybe this needs a standalone ECU to work which will bump up the cost.
Can anyone else see any extra problems and potential issues?
I've been trying to find info on the H6 JDM tuner car that was featured, but I can't remember who did it or find it in google at all.
