    #002

    The EZ36D is heaver by about 150+ lbs. You will notice the ride height change after installing.
    Adjustments will likely need to be made in the suspension to accommodate.

    #001

    The EZ36D requires it's own larger oilpan and radiator unlike the EJ253 which can use the default Sunburst components.

    Prier to public release, a brief history


    My name is Justin and I'm a Subaru fanatic / computer guru.
    First time I played BeamNG my choice of vehicle was automatically the Sunburst.
    Happy with the tuned and turbo versions, unhappy without my engine.
    When I say my engine, I mean the block I wrench on in the photo.
    That is a 2006 Impreza Hatch/Wag 2.5 EJ253 with intelligent-AVLS (VTEC is similar).

    So naturally I added the boxer myself tweaking it until I was tired and nearly satisfied.
    Soon after I added my dream upgrade engine and now we have a lot more power but still naturally aspirated so no lag.
    The H6 is much larger obviously, so additional components oilpan / radiator were added.


    Both engines, transmissions and extras were based off the default Sunburst files.
    I believe I got pretty close to how everything included functions in reality.
    However, I know there will be adjustments made when they are exploited.
    Everyone is welcome to contribute ideas and errors in the mod coding.
    If there is unnecessary code, missing code, incorrect code whatever point it out by replying here.


    The 3d models for each engine and systems is (for now) the default Sunburst.
    I would like to see this mod include correct engine system models, perhaps someone can corner that wish because I have not enough xp with polygons.
    Maybe the engine models from Automation??


    Sounds for both engines are default from Sunburst and Pickup.
    I did have custom sounds at one point during development... but it was not great and bulky.
    In the future I suspect someone will have a solution or other mod with better sound options.
    Or I may try to record and wrestle with the sound files again for another update.


    So anywho, I'm from Wisconsin BTW.
    I would like to see how close to realistic this mod will become with community support.
    No contribution is too small, reply away!

    If any modder would like to get involved with this project contact me or reply here.
    We can do some live testing perhaps... bring your own lunch.

    Hey everyone!
    So are the engine stats correct or close enough so far? (v0.02.3)

    I personally think I got damn close on the numbers, but that doesn't mean it's finalized yet.
    Post a reply if you find issues!! Thanks

    Players
    Anyone who has tested the mod what do you think?
    More power here / less power there?

    Modders
    If you are a mod developer comfortable with viewing engine files let me know how it looks... thanks.

    Specialist
    If you wrench on or own either of these engines what is your opinion on comparison to real world.

    You are hearing the stock default BeamNG sounds for the Sunburst.
    Custom sounds will be coming soon.

    I backed up all my mods. Download the latest and tested with good results. Maybe something else is causing this issue for you. Try my test approach it may be something simply overlooked.
    Good luck.
