    You are not kidding about Subarus being Legos. I have a 09 Forester X. It has coilovers and all STi aftermarket suspension. EZ30D swap was a thought now I think it is what I want to do. Thanks for making it all understandable for the average person.

    Huge props for building your own header. I don't think it's the fabricators who would ever look down on it, just the folks who can't appreciate or understand the time, fitment, and planning that goes into actually doing it.

    The other H6 swap people do is the EG33D, 230hp stock, no AVCS/AVLS and the block its self is just an EJ22 with 2 more cylinders stuck to back of it. Plus its a bit easier to find and make exhaust stuff since it uses 2 EJ25 and 2 EJ22 flanges.

    Hey man i love those video as hell ! Im new in the suby community and the k24 was making me dream about poweerr in my 2007 impreza wagon . But i was wondering would you said the cheapest swap is the z30 or the k24 ?

    • @BlackthumbTV
      @BlackthumbTV  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Depends on your power goals. I wouldn't reocmmend doing a k swap in general. I plan to make a followup video about all that at some point.
      The EZ30R is pretty expensive to make power on due to the lack of aftermarket support.
      The EJs are pretty cheap in comparison to most options.
      My personal recommendation would be to sell the car and just get a WRX of the same year, it's going to more than likely be cheaper. But I'm also all for people learning how to do this stuff, so a turbo EJ swap a great way to learn

    The ej22 is a glorious engine. My 95 impreza coupe has its stock ej22e running 10 psi from a td04l turbo. Its been running like this for like five years now without issue, at least as it relates to the turbo.
    Ps. I do have an ez30r waiting for the ej22e to explode. Im thinking compound turbo?

    Dude, awesome videos, just "lost" 5hrs on your channel trying to learn. Im in the process of going ez30r into a 3 gen legacy. Canbus into non canbus. You've convinced me that the haltech is the way to go but how did you get around the anti theft bits? Ive got the ez30's bcu, ecu, cluster and key. Did you use the old cluster? I have the full loom from the ez30r vehicle. Tia. Subscribed!

    • @BlackthumbTV
      @BlackthumbTV  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Take a gander at the Wiring video I made if you haven't had a chance, but the short version is that the engine is just a hunk of metal until an ECU decides to send it signals to run it.
      The factory ECU has anti-theft software code in it, which would cause it to decide not to run the engine. So, we just replace that entire factory ECU with something that doesn't give a crap, such as the Haltech. Then the engine will run. Alternatively, you can reprogram the factory ECU to disable the anti-theft code via "tuning" or re-flashing the factory ECU with a modified software.
      Good luck with your project!
