Ryan's 92 SVX back from the dead?!
When we received the car it was without keys and hasn't ran in those 3 years... Ouchkabibbles.... We "hotwired" her a few times and it cranked over very very very VERY slow... not a good sign. We brought it in the shop and proceded to drain the oil. What came out was disgusting. A thick black sludge slooooooooowly drained out. After 30mins of draining I filled her up with fresh 5W30 and went for broke. After 3 cranks (which spun so nicely) she fired right up :D Holy bajesus the EG33 engines are bulletproof. This thing sat without an intake on it... no top rad hose.... no o2 sensors... ****ty stale gas that smells like varnish and it still ran. After I let her run a bit to get the motor hot to melt the goo that was once motor oil and blow the other "nests" from the exhaust I set out for a key. Called Becker... no dice. Even tho the car originally came from them they don't have the VIN on record for a key... Stupid asses.. Called my buddies at Faulkner... again no dice the car never even went there. Gave a local locksmith a ringy and she said NO PROBLEM... just bring me a lock core :D So I yanked the core from the door and sent out to The Lock Doctor. After 10 mins she had 2 perfectly cut keys for me! Skeptical, I headed to the shop and gave it a go................ VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOM holy **** the keys work!! And wow does she pur like the day she was built... Time to find out why this pig was sitting in a field for so long. I jammed on the brakes to shove it in drive.... no dice. Brakes to the floor...wtf. Oh thats right, mice chewed the ****ing brake line too! BAH I have an ebrake :D Drive she goes... clunk clunk BAM!. Just as I thought, the center diff is gone. SVX's are notorious tranny eaters. At the time Subaru didn't have a 5spd strong enough for the torque of the flat 6 so it was never offered in a 5spd. Oh well, I was planning on a 5spd swap anyway... I do have all the parts laying around ;) now where is that title? to be continued........ Last edited by RyanG; 08-09-2011 at 12:31 PM. |

I always liked these cars. They remind me of a space ship.
What are the big term goals for it? Daily driver, or boosted shop car?

Before I got into DSMs, I thought these were some freak model of the 1G....
None the less, they're still cool as hell.

I still wish I had bought the one in Wescoseville a few months back but how scarce the parts are kept me from doing it. Can't wait to see the progress.

A little off topic, but Jack Laverty, from EFI Logis (formally worked for XX Tuning) has a pretty nasty SVX motor swap in his GC Impreza track car...he loves it. Thing runs like an raped ape too.

Ace- yeah I know the car.. its friggin nuts lol. Bob the fabricator did some crazy stuff on it.
Started to really dig into her tonight.. Even tho she runs.. and runs well mind you. friggin mice ate most of the MAF harness. I have no idea WHY this thing doesn't throw a code but it doesn't. Not only that, but they chewed the friggin wiper motor harness in half.. like GONE! WTF. Now this is an easy fix but it has me really worried what they did inside the car. I really don't want to pull the dash on it I did sit in it with it running for about a half an hour tonight.. corny... I know :D I do have a 30R laying around..................Hmmmmmmm

SVX's were always cool cars but the auto thing killed it. I do however think that engine should go in the RS
Ryan, I've still yet to come check out the shop. I could use your welding skills, and if im correct you have a fender roller?. Email me!!..
