No 3.3L EG33 engines allowed?

Surprised the popular aircraft and sand car engine isn't on the forum:eek:

Anyway, my reason for posting was I was curious what the EG33 weighs compared to the EJ25 because I'm considering a swap.

So I emailed some ebay sellers of engines to find out what the shipped weight is for each engine.

For the EJ25 I was given weights between 300 and 400 lbs.

For the EG33 I was given 250 lbs.! Can this be true? Is this why Rallybob swapped an EG33 in his Impreza RS among other rally racers?

Does anyone have an accurate numbers on these engine weights? Since I'm using an STi 5 sp and diffs the transmission weight is irrelevant.

Thanks. N8

 
I don't see any way that the 6 cyl weighs less than the 4. Just did some digging through a member on NASIOC that swapped it into his WRX and he estimated the 6 cyl to weigh ~100lb more than the EJ. iirc the eg33 is essentially the ej22 with 2 extra cylinders, but you're probably done a lot more checking on the SVX engine than me.

Thanks and I'm finding out manufacturers don't like to give out engine weights, that's why I was looking at actual shipping weights. For instance, the little 1.3L Mazda Rotary engine weighs more than a GM LS1 V8! I seen the actual weight distribution on all 4 wheels before and after on an RX7 R1 autoxer and with the V8 the whole car was lighter with more weight on the rear. Then I found out renegadehybrids.com are putting LS1s in 911s and 914s! Among 240sx, 325s, 944s and even 1st gen RX7s in GRM with GM V8s! That torque would be just perfect for AWD and probably as efficient, but probably wont fit. As I said before, ebay sellers are saying the EJ25 is heavier than than the EG33 shipped ready to install.
