EZ30 Swapped Subaru Legacy | 6spd RWD!

We did it! From a daydream idea to reality. Howling H6 Ez30 engine, 6 speed rwd transmission from a Subaru BRZ swapped into a 1998 Legacy GT. Standard on the outside, anything but, on the inside. It's been a little under a year since breaking ground on this project, and now we have a unique, great sounding fun to drive car that didnt cost a whole lot of money. We couldn't be happier with it.

I agree the 2nd gen legacy gt is the sweetest body style. I found that out in 2011 when i saw one in a junkyard and just had to sit in it. Told myself i'd own one eventually. Found one manual for cheaps *blown headgasket* changed it. Now i finally got one.

America really got the short end of the stick when it came to the H6. In Australia we got the gen 4 with the 3.0R Spec B trim, which had an EZ30 mk2, 6 speed manual, Bilstein suspension, etc. Fantastic car to drive and even came as a wagon.

I rewatch this vid from time to time, dreaming of an h6 swapped brz

What a crazy combo, not a whole lot of flashy parts and huge HP numbers, just the creativity is what really did it for me. Thanks for sharing.

This blows my mind. I would have never thought to try mating that trans to an EZ30. So many possibilities! This makes me want an EZ-swapped 86.

Love it, words cannot describe how badly I want a manual H6.

We will be uploading an in-depth video on the swap, and what modifications were required for fitment, electronics etc.

This made me laugh out loud. I dig this chav and his car. I've got the 2003 Legacy Outback H6 AWD auto which is such a capable car around the farm here in muddy old Kent UK, but it's great to see these talented dudes ragging the format and creating such a unique set-up; and it sounds the nuts too. Well done chaps. You made an old duffer very happy...

Nice build! Sounds like a Porsche. Great sleeper.

[SubieSpecs]

Yeah boi! I think I'll be doing this to my daily. Will keep the 4wd though, since snow and daily driving etc. Already got the motor, just need a donor shell with the wiring.

2nd gen life yo!

Love that you are using these coils, it’s what I run and as I always say, I’m impressed with the budget coils

[Alniemi]

Wow its rare to find others that have such enthusiasm for that 2nd gen legacy, Ive got my 96 outback and IMO its the best car for me. I love that ej22 but the ez30 swap sounds AMAZING, i wonder if it would mate up right

How does this not have 1.2 million views yet

Oh yeah. The H6 makes such an amazing sound.

[linosone]

awesome build bro I love this shape legacy, we call them liberty's in Australia

[SFkojiro]

Subbed! I'm starting to plan out an EZ36 swap into my brz and this answered a lot of questions concerning the bellhousing. This car is awesome!

[vulturebrain]

Wow you’re a legend... I mean I know you built a legend but u are the real legend! Do a wagon with the same set up please

[minesaver]

I saw one of your cars at Newberg Old Fashioned Festival. cool to come across one of your videos digging about for interesting builds with early legacies. This is a cool one

Amazing build. Very inspiring. Want to do H6 swap to my 98' SUS. Keep building guys 💪

Hey, sweet car man. I have an 03 WRX that I put in a BRZ trans and an r200 rear diff from a 300zx(which took the most time, lots of machine work but it's been super solid)...
