@DannyP posted:The Subaru EJ-33 is 230 hp with the factory ECU, but they haven't been made since the early 1990s.
The EZ30 came up in 1999 and was 220hp. Later they made a 3.6 liter version called the EZ36 which had 260 hp. These last two engines have variable valve timing.
The Subaru engines are pretty short and should fit where a 4 goes. I know for a fact the EJ33 fits in a Vanagon engine bay(designed for a 4 cylinder watercooled) with no problem at all. I don't think the EZ series is any longer than the EJ33.
I'm sure they're ALL cheaper than the Porsche engines. Honestly, it's a replica. Does it really matter what brand engine you use?

I was thinking of doing an EZ-30 or EZ-33 instead of the 4cyl when I was building, as I did not want a turbo 4cyl, but IM was relunctant at the time.
It might have been a good way to get more torque and hp NA.
BTW Last time I checked, it was at most 2inch wider and 2 inch longer but slightly higher... the 3.0 was 58lbs more, minus the turbo parts your pretty close.
