He’s not wrong... second gen EZ30’s have AVCS and AVLS - AVCS is just vvt and AVLS is identical to vtec in that it offers a secondary altered cam profile. Combine the two and you have the best of both worlds.
So subarus vvl is similar to Hondas. Basically, one big cam lobe controls one valve at all times, another smaller lobe controls the second valve. At low rpm the valves create a swirl effect because of the unequal lift. At high rpm the large lobe opens both valves, creating equal lift and more flow. It's not identical to Hondas, bit it is very similar.
I have a Legacy 2008, 2.5GT flat 4 cylinders with 330hp 😅 I can understand you so well, but I don’t like the sound of the 6cy cuz no rumbling, 2.5L big block is allowed to reach 650hp and certified by Subaru themselves at 13k Dollars
Doing plugs on an EZ surprisingly isn't that bad. Def a DIY at home job. Minimal tools required. Just some patience. This car is awesome though! Love the first gen Legacy/Liberty platform. Love the H6 exhaust note as well!
Yer i know but there not identical enigines by no means but they are very similar in the vvt/cam control due to porsches help with that part of the development but the rest of the engine was design by subaru
@@benjamindavis9214 that's not what equates to the sound though. The flat six architecture, firing order, number of cylinders and length and design of the manifold/header design and intake manifold design will be the factors determining how the engine sounds. With your logic the old Porsche flat sixes wouldn't sound like a Porsche before they got variable cam timing. Yet they still sound like a glorious Porsche. Trust me the cams are not going to change the sound like that. Cams usually only change the lope of the idle, either smooth it out (in oem applications) and lopes it up with aftermarket high lift long duration cams. Don't get me wrong they change the sound a bit, but nearly only at idle. The rest of the time the cams have no real effect in changing the sound. Unless you count a the changeover when it switches to the higher lift lobe.
I’d reckon his sneaky little gear ratio change has something to do with how well it goes ☺️ best way to liven up an NA or underpowered car. So many cars these days have super long top gear ratio’s for economy so there’s loads of room to shorten up the final drive without ruining your motorway cruising experience. Makes a massive difference!
I had a '92 scooby SVX with the 3.3 NA flat six 4x4 auto, the car was a quirky beast, huge coupe with unusable rear seats and only half the front windows came down ,engine sounded nice and had a speed limiter at 144 mph
Subaru "vtec" is called AVLS. On this engine it's only on one intake valve per cylinder to "promote swirl" as they say in the marketing material. The previous design on the ez30 had it on the exhaust as well but that was dropped for this model in favor of some cam timing magic. You can tell the difference between the 2 by the intake manifold. The older one isnt plastic. I plan to do this swap on my SF Forester and leave it NA. So much better than the 2.0L STI swaps everybody does imho. Cool vid!
@@TheR0mKo It is called avcs. AVLS is simplier setup on SOHC 2.5L EJ engines. All others used AVCS including revised EZ30D(mkii, sometimes called EZ30R because of marketting 3.0R designation for these) on 4th gen Legacy/Outback and early Tribeca.

@@Mardy72 i have an 08' EJ25 Legacy now and i had an EZ30 one on loan during an auto repair back in 07.. it was surprisingly fast.

I have yet to drive a GT one with the turbo 4.
recently sold my forester and got a 3rd gen legacy with the 2 stage twin turbo and i love this car. doubt it's as nice as this with the F6 but those turbos make up for it.
If you’re not familiar with subarus, this one in particular might be a bit misleading as it has been converted to rwd. I don’t think a standard awd would be that punchy. Would of course be a different case on slippery surface.
Hey, my 3.0l H6 Legacy has those Nissan 2-pots. Basically the same as WRX 2-pots, but they say 'Nissan' on them, not 'Subaru.' They come from the same supplier.
I have a ez30D engine and they cost literally 1,100? Not too expensive: they sound beautiful though and are known to be reliable. Not really supposed to be modded though. Made to be just mainly reliable. You don’t really need mods though. They are fun daily cars.
People don't seem to know about flat sixes, there's a good few reasons why Porsche use em 😉 imo Its the best harmonically balanced motor design out there, but then again whens the last time you heard anyone talk about engine harmonics?
I want to H6 swap my Fozzy so bad and supercharge it or simply SC the H4 but California BAR laws are strict as fuck.. finding a safe medium would be hard and expensive.
なるほどですね。ありがとうございます！ Translation: Be careful as this engine loses oil easily. If you use authentic Subaru Castrol oil (5-40w), the engine will run like butter!
Graham Carlson Subaru made the ez30 in two generations, first with a metal intake manifold available on gen 3 outback’s and legacies; second in the gen 4’s with the plastic intake manifold shown on this car. The eg33 that you are thinking of was a 3.3L available in the SVX. Nowadays the only flat 6 available from factory is the ez36, surprise surprise a 3.6L updated successor to the ez30.
koonzify gen 2 outbacks had the EZ30D with no VVL and the gen 3 outback came with the plastic intake EZ30 with VVL. The EG33 like you said came with the SVX and was a superior engine to the EZ30 as it had VVL, ramp up intake and larger capacity.
just make sure to get a front subframe brace if you get a 3rd gen ok? the front lower control arm (rear)mounting points like to peace out from the chassis when lowered/ offroaded =D
Nothing like a good old 1gen Legacy

The reason why it sounds like a porsche is because porsche help design the valve train for the ez30

"It's so linear!"
It's the high compression and lack of turbo slowing the exhaust down until it spools 😂
Pointing out the dent in the door like this isn’t cleaner than any car you have.

It looks like that guy literally took everything from a 6 cylinder legacy and put it in the new body

On the EZ30 its on both intake valves, in low mode 1 opens furthers than the other, both small lift, in high mode they both go up to 11mm lift.
for some reason I thought it was called AVCS
