Subaru 6 pot

[Deskpilot]

Not commonly seen in Oz, but if you're interested in something bigger and different, there's a Subaru ER27 motor available here in SA. Below is an extract from an article on 6 cylinder engines:-

 

Interestingly, the new six – coded ER27 – is essentially a Subaru EA82 four-cylinder with a couple of extra pots. It’s a horizontally-opposed design and the block and heads are made from aluminum. Bore and stroke dimensions are 92 and 67mm respectively (identical to the EA82) and total swept capacity is 2672cc. With relatively plain SOHC heads, a 9.5:1 compression ratio, multi-point fuel injection and a distributor ignition system, the ER27 is rated at 112kW at 5200 rpm and 211Nm at 4000 rpm. This is achieved on normal unleaded fuel. The ER27 engine was seen in the Japanese domestic market and America only.

 

This motor is available with all accessories except the management system, for a mere $12500. For what it's worth, this was originally fitted to a Subaru Vortex sport coupe.
