    What is your take on this? Guy emailed me first wanting a trade.
    Me and juan are checking it out possibly saturday and going to do a compression test.

    My concern is an error in the title. Looks kind of sketchy.

    ive heard its actually not too difficult. im just going to have to buy a piece of steel, or maybe find a piece of scrap from work that we can manipulate and weld up. oh yea and i have a buddy from the local suby community thats more than happy to let me use his shop and his tools, hes got a MIG welder too. im gonna try and plan it out for a weekend, because thats what he said he could work with the best.

    yea i dont plan on doing anything until i hav everything planned out and ready. the EG33 swap is said, by the people that have done one that ive talked to, to be easier than a WRX swap and it should be able to be done at about $3000. im still figuring out the OBD issue tho. starting to run into issues with that, cause i need to pass emissions in August. i could just keep my EJ until then, but id need to buy a whole new exhaust system.

    decided to sit down and just read the whole "the BEST ever H6 swap thread". i read that i can use an OBDI engine and run an OBDII harness and ECU on it. the only difference is that the OBDII harness has 2 extra plugs for an external EGR solenoid and External baro sensor. id just need to get those 2 things and install them into a vacuum line and i would be good to go. after emissions, i would probably just buy another OBDI ECU to install because a guy ive been talking to told me that the OBDI ECU's with a chip make wicked N/A power. a total guestimate, but with cams, port and polished heads, nice custom exhaust and i MIGHT be able to push a little over 300AWHP. idk tho, we'll see when it happens lol
