This car will get a lot of publicity and we'll be spending a lot of time with it . This certainly won't be a cheap project but compared to the 20-$25,000 that some shops are charging for the swap, we think we're offering a bargain. Just think about how much a built 2.5L block with a GT35R and stand alone would run you. We're gunning for 550+ WHP on our heartbreaker dyno .

The package would include:

-Built EZ30R motor
*3.0 horizontally opposed 6 cylinder motor
*AVCS on intake cam
*Sleeved cylinder walls
*Modified crankshaft
*Custom spec forged connecting rods
*Coated race bearings
*Custom spec forged pistons

-Custom Garret GT35R Turbo Kit
*Garrett GT35R .82 A/R Turbo
*Tial 44mm wastgate
*Custom uppipe
*Custom downpipe
*Custom intake and MAF pipe

-Custom Front Mount Intercooler
-Custom exhaust piping
-Helix 660cc Injectors
-Walbro 255L Fuel Pump
-Hydra Standalone ECU
-All installation and tuning


$14,999

Please PM if you're at all interested.

Thanks,

Geoff

I'm happy where the car is..I'm done for the most part with the power mods and am taking weight off the car before I hit the racetrack.

Later if i turn it into a full race car then maybe???

14.9k is cheap looking at the fact a fully built race 2.55l costs about 10k plus a hydra/turbo kit which run another 5k alone.

I think either Mr. Pink wheels should go for it...or LFP.

Since the H6 never came turboed, this swap won't be carb legal. It will also have a catless exhaust that doesn't use any of the factory emissions equipment and an intake.

Out of curiosity how much longer is the H6 block? Would it's added length upset the handling of an Impreza coupe?

Sounds like if someone wants the fastest craziest STi this is the way to it. Pretty nuts sounding. I am interested to see what happens with this. Unfortunately I don't have an STi or $14.9k for an engine kit.

Sounds awesome and good luck!
The H6 motor is good deal longer. I would guess that it would add about 100 lbs to the front of your car and would defintely change the handling characteristics of your car.

Thanks,
