This version had one exhaust port per cylinder, a drive-by-wire throttle, a black plastic intake manifold, VVL and AVCS. It was available in manual and automatic unlike the old EZ30D. Found in the 2003–2009 Legacy 3.0R, Outback 3.0R and 2006–2008 Tribeca.
EZ36D: 3629CC DOHC, 260ps (191 kW) @6000 rpm, 335Nm@4400 rpm. Bore 92 mm, Stroke 91 mm. Compression 10.5:1. Found in the 2010-current Legacy, Outback and 2008-current Tribeca. The EZ36D incorporates possibly the only implementation of an asymmetrical connecting rod in a modern application. The offset connecting rod was designed to allow additional displacement from the same exterior dimensions. |
Looks like Subaru revised that engine to have a larger displacement when the cars had a generation change. I don't see examples of a car getting a bored out version of the base engine in the same generation. I've only heard of the s2k increasing 0.2 liters at which point they completely dropped the smaller motor.
A bored out version of the same engine in the same generation with both versions selling simultaneously seems like wishful thinking to me.
