Subaru Robin 25 hp motor swap?
Long story short my brother has a chuck wagon utv like they sell at tractor supply. It has a 9 hp subaru motor in it. He wants to upgrade to a V-Twin so hes looking at a subaru 25hp motor he said the mud motor guys have been ranting over how much more power they have over the Vangsurds. Before he pulls the trigger I told him I would ask you guys advice because I've never seen a build here with one. Thanks in advanced

Re: Subaru Robin 25 hp motor swap?
I have no experience with that motor, but I can tell you the reason that alot of guys go with the Briggs is because there are a ton of aftermarket performance parts abailable. With the Subaru, you'll have a hard time upgrading anything over stock. Just something to consider.

Re: Subaru Robin 25 hp motor swap?
I have that motor in my monster cart. EH72 is a 720cc motor. I'm running it stock, very reliable and not too bad on gas for it's size. I'm rolling on 25x12x10
The motor is sort of tall |

Re: Subaru Robin 25 hp motor swap?
Its been used here before, it was pretty cheap to buy at one time. They make good stock power, but like stated aftermarket parts may not even exist....while you can make a top fuel motor out of a vanguard lol. If you had a cart with high gearing such as 25s or better or HS gears, and you planned on a stock v twin being good enough, it might be a good troublefree engine to use. I've run them in equipment and liked them.

Re: Subaru Robin 25 hp motor swap?
I got my EH72 for a song on CL. Near new it had an ignitor problem and had been placed in storage after a few hours of run time - where I ultimately found it. Very reliable and smooth motor with lots of power.

Re: Subaru Robin 25 hp motor swap?
Stock 25hp should be nothing to sneeze at, unless you just like to mess with stuff like I do. My clone has way more power I need to ride a vanguard and see what its like lol. I know a guy with a 27hp LC Kawasaki vtwin sitting there. Its a real tall motor though and you have to mount the radiator and fan/etc. I want to build a limo though, if I ever get to it that might be a good motor for it. I'd likely put gears in it or run minimum 25s on it.

Problem with a SC is adding fuel under boost and taking timing out under boost. Otherwise it runs poor off boost. I would love to put a DIY EFI on my cart but not found one reasonable and ran out of research time lol. It would be so nice to have, the efi utv run great. |
